It hasn’t evolved. It has devolved. This place has gotten progressively worse - mainly this year.

What were its notable positive attributes before the devolution happened?

Men to start acting like men and not act like soft little b!tches when challenged on something

Or have wimpy dog pics living in CA, but no judgement.

If the Eagles win this thing on Sunday, Kelce might need to do a second separate rant just on the Niners.

1) When not if

2) He shouldn't say s*** about the whiners.  They don't deserve the time

3) Kelce's speech might very well be "What did you think was going to happen?"

Your testosterone insecurities are showing.  Try to develop some character. You need to be more woke … white old timers keeping their equity.

What's the over under on whether or not he says Toxic masculinity?

Wimpy?  Get back to me when your dog wins at Madison Square Garden in the dog show Super Bowl.

You all are in charge, and I can't imagine what you have to deal with and the frustrations that come with it. I'll only add that this forum is a home for people like him. Yeah, he was a curmudgeon, and his choice to ignore warnings is on him, but he was a worthy contributor, not just a troll coming on here to cause problems. For those of us who have been here for multiple decades, it's no small thing to have taken away, especially two days before the Super Bowl.

 

Maybe that already afforded him some extra consideration before his ban, but going back to the first forum in the late 90s, I've never asked for a mod to reconsider their decision and hope he could be brought back at some point.

People for the most part understood this was a message board. Specifically a sports message board where poking fun, pushing boundaries, name calling, joking around is all in the nature of it. None of us actually know each other outside these walls. People now report everything like little babies. Suspensions & bans are handed out like hooker cards in Vegas. Place has gone from good banter to a G rated Disney movie.

I didn't love seeing 4for4 here,  but I hate seeing him gone.

I remember one of the times he got suspended was right at the beginning of the Phillies in the World Series. I think the guy just gets riled up when things are poppin’

Of course you omit the fact that poking fun, pushing boundaries, name calling, joking around has nothing to do with football.

You are losing your cool.  Count to 10 and take a deep breath.  Exercise some self controll … some maturity.

The historical record doesn’t agree with you. But feel free to continue living in your fantasy world.
