and I have only found this forum because I have been banned from extremeskins for daring to ask why I was NNT'd after writing a thread during a game , during a quarter when we had just allowed 21 points in less than 8 minutes. this coming after I had been banned for a week for IMPROPERLY TITLING thread (after we lost to the lions I wrote a thread called " the saddest thing about yesterday" and detailed why I think the Lions are in a better position to be succsessful in the next few years).
I was one of the very first people on Extremeskins back in 2000, several of us got tired of the TSN flamefest and a couple guys built the first forum, I joined under my real name the first week but made a new acct about 3 weeks later because I was too much of a computer noob to change my name lol. I noticed that over the past few seasons it became more adversarial, to the point where people rarely discussed the post as much as the poster. im looking at the roster here and I realise that most of the people who posted that I enjoyed are here now.
I am pretty choked that I was banned permanently and that I had no recourse, but in all honesty, the atmosphere over there got worse when they opened it up, I know that sounds elitist but it was frustrating trying to sift through tonnes of garbage to get small nuggets of discussion. the majority of the posters there dont even read posts before chiming in, they barely even read the titles. I read a bunch of threads here before joining and I see more actual discussion, and more people being civil while disagreeing than I have seen on ES in a long time. I know this place isnt meant as competition, and I am hoping to get my acct at ES back but I think I will be staying here for a while no matter what.
I promise to try not to be too much of an asshat, key word being try.
so whats up nerds?
