Re: Message for all the new members
My message:
Don't be personally invested in your points. If you approach this as contributing to the community dialogue and that points are good only insofar as they can be supported and to be let go of if and when they can't be sustained, I think you'll enjoy your time here. Because everything will be challenged by someone...this forum has a ton of different perspectives and a lot of people who enjoy arguing/debating. Don't take a counter-response personally, just civilly explain why your point is well-founded.
Welcome and feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Re: Message for all the new members
I'm still relatively new here, but I consider myself one of the funniest posters in this (and another) forum. Feel free to insult me all you like, I can take it. But keep in mind I can dish it out as well.
BTW, if you were at the Lottery Party, I was the big ugly drunk guy in the black shirt and black pants who fixed the "Think Positive" banner. I also air-balled a three pointer during the last game of the season.
If that's all I have to show for my fifteen minutes of fame, I'm gonna need some anti-deppressants...

Re: Message for all the new members
Ask Mike Barrett. I'm WAY taller than that dude. And I haven't passed out drunk on public transportation since I left Germany in 1991. En garde! 
BTW, ROFLMAO!!

Just call in to CSM and ask him "How tall is the Wookie?"

Re: Message for all the new members
Eh. I'll take your word for it. I'm too damn lazy to make a phone call.

outside of that, have fun and please don't make new subjects for every new post you make.

Idea for new board motto?
BBB.Net "LONG" time posters....
They're like the cool kids in high school!
You guys are good at endearing yourself to new posters. Perhaps a BBB.Net Posse, to weed out all the bad ESPN and OLIVE posters who might be making the switch? After all, you wouldn't want a few no goods to slip through the cracks...

Since most of the posters here, including all the "long" time (boom boom) ones, came from Olive or ESPN, I think you might be a little off-base here.
Though HAP can be (or come off as) abrasive regardless.

while a fair # started out (initially) at oregonlive, most of us old timers migrated over from fanhome.

Sage advice. I would add: Be open to opposing arguments. Maybe someone knows a little more about the topic of discussion than you, and can help you learn more yourself.

And where did a lot of fanhome posters escape from?
