It's called having fun. Lighten up.
How much is "it being fun" until you just come off like a jerk? 75% of these threads are about opinions and discussions. This one got crapped on or joked on by a small handful for whatever reason. I know we have little cliques on here and its funny to team up but it really isnt.
So as a MOD, you should try to keep it on topic and maybe tell the jerk posters to actually have a conversation. It isnt funny, it derails the thread.
The meme was funny... and appropriate to the threads direction. This is a rumors thread and almost all of it is bullshit, appropriately called out as such.
The thread can still move forward as everyone essentially knows it's almost all bullshit. That's why it's fun and interesting.
There was a BS thread about trade rumors a few weeks back that culminated in the Jadaveon Clowney thread. It's rare that stuff like that happens, but every now and then, BAM, lightning in a bottle.
Shane11, I understand your frustration, but complaining about "cliques" and such here is irrelevant and most likely incorrect. The same guys you think are in whatever clique together will be at each other's throats in the next three threads. If you don't like how the mods handle things here, go start your own board. OK, so that was an intentional overreaction statement on my part, just like your overreaction. Anyway... how about you become such a respected poster here that you get invited to be a mod? Then you can can use that respect and influence to bend .NET to your will and keep those darn veering-off-course threads on topic more often.
P.S. I understand there is a shortage of professional cat-herders these days. Anyone who could whip .NET into shape, keep the threads ruthlessly on topic, etc. could pretty much write his own ticket for his next cat-herding gig.
