i registered with this board and made my first post last night (to the Blazers' weightlifting clip thread). when i came back this morning, that post has been deleted. anyone care to let me know why ? are there any restrictions/rules on who can post here ? mods ?

I'm sure there is a good reason for it. We're not like OL at all. We never delete posts or threads without a good reason to do so.

I hope you'll stay here for good, biggz. If you do, you'll soon realize that this is the best collection of Blazer fans on the Internet. Welcome aboard.

Thanks, loyalty. I read about this group's story (meeting up at rose quarter) and thought the guys/gals here are cool. I am a huge blazer fan and being in st louis where nobody cares about the NBA, I needed an outlet. That's why I was upset when I realized my post was deleted. As I said in there, that was the first time I ever posted anything anywhere and it didn't turn out good I guess .. I have been following this forum and the OL forum for some time though ...

So somebody pls tell me why.. I still remember most of what I said in there (not much).. Can't think of anything offensive ...

Wow Biggz - If one of us deleted your post, we would have sent you a PM to explain why. I don't know how to explain how your post got deleted, but we have a policy to PM people and explain why.

Did the entire thread get deleted? If so, it may not of have a thing to do with you. We hope you will stay and I am not sure what happened. I will check it out!

If I'm remembering correctly, Blazer Outsider just recently had a thread mysteriously disappear, too. Perhaps there's a bug in the system somewhere?

As for biggz's weightlifting thread, I'm not surprised by 'Sheed's four (of a theoretically minimal ten) trips into the weight room. Rice (and others) have talked about that issue for years. Maybe someone like Payton could influence that but somehow I doubt it. He certainly has friends on the team now (in Damon and Bonzi at least) who are fairly serious about working out. If it's not happened by now it seems unlikely to change. To be somewhat fair, 'Sheed's claim is that serious weight-training might damage his game by throwing off his shot, etc. Now, that seems silly.... except, perhaps, when one considers that he might well be our best outside shooter. Even so, there are too many examples of folks like Malone, Kobe, and others who've spent hours and hours lifting in the off season and who can still put the ball in the hole. Ah well.
