Unchained and his little lady, pvfan, just to name a few, but it seems like the old heads have not been posting. Is this just the lull part of the year for posting?
Just not much going on this time of year.
Unchained is making a statement at this time...he told me that when his children saw the two women kissing he was truly offended, and turning off your avatars is not a fair way to tell someone to deal with it.
Wow, if thats offensive then I could compile a list of complaints.
Language used by all on here including those who are absent. The constant flow of anti-government/ administration on here border line treason. The none relenting slander of players, coaches, posters ..etc. Moral and social issues that have been made to be nothing more then personal attacks.
I do not like to read about people bashing our government and our involement in humaitarism issues in which countries are killing people over greed, religous and political motivation. When we intervine and we should based on everything our country was found on and if our own "religous influence" is even true we should feel obligated to help people, if I had to hear "dont open that thread" everytime someone feels its their calling to call our president or our government morons or idiots, I wouldnt be able to come to the site.
I agree with what your saying nobility.
Anyone seen pvfan? Someone was telling me that he got banned from pv sporting events(or at least basketball). Hopefully he makes it back on here, I enjoy reading his crazy arse tantrums [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Like I said before I gotta agree with this. I guess it is were I have kids myself. But as far as the gay people posting on here you wont see me giving them any grief.

What kinda statement is he trying to make?/
Can the forum not operate correctly without him on here?/
Who cares if he's MIA, poster's come and go....
Like an old pair of shoes that has been outgrown/worn out that you have to throw away, this forum has become to me. There's a million other ways that I choose to spend my time nowadays. For the longest time, I have sadly watched some quality people leave this board for various reasons. Some left because of the language. Some left because of the content. Some got fed up with the gay angle, and others left because they simply couldn't disagree on a point without getting run through the mill . Thank God we live in a place where not only can whatever be said, but a person has the right to say "I don't need this" as well. To the frends that I have made on this board: Thank you for your friendship-you all know how to find me. To the enemies I have made-same goes for you. As for the comment Blue made about the board being run correctly without me: Different folks have different opinions of what is "correct" to them, but at the end of the day as I have said many times, this little piddly forum means nothing in the grand scheme of life, so obviously I have zero problem tossing it to the wayside.
Times change, people change.
If people leave because of something, that is their choice.
I actually wanted to calm the langauge down, so glad the filter does work, because I can express being ticked at the world most of the time without having to cuss too much, not that I'm all innocent ears or eyes as the case may be, but anyhow.
As for this board, it really shouldn't be quite as petty as the others can be. Hopefully this is more your older folks, or at least the ones who have been around and can argue, can complain without being branded or such.
I think some just like to complain no matter what it is, some think everything should be allowed as long as its not something that bothers them, and thats a hard thing to view. We all got different views on what is right what is not, but thats just life I guess.
I'm sorry...this is totally random, but every time I see the title of this thread I think of that old song "where have all the cowboys goooooonnnnnneeee".
Get to feelin' better Rock! Just think - Spring is in less than 2 months!
you never know, some people may care, no one said it could not operate...assume what you want, but you know what that does.

I agree with all you say Unchained. This forum has become a cess pool for bottom dwellers. The administration here absolutely stinks. The mods cant do their jobs because the admin wont let them. Since Jim quit and turned the forum over it has went straight down hill. I urge all that agree to please quit the forum. And to the rest I will be praying for you. Also if anyone is interested in making a nice clean familly forum you know how to find me. That or shoot me an email at [email protected] Also I am not saying all is going to hell. I just really care about the content that kids see on here. I know you have to be 13 to be a member of the board but you dont to view it as a guest. And to the ones that say watch what your kids view on the net. Why should they be turned away from a local high school sports forum? Please dont reply to this if you have no kids. It just doesnt apply to you. You just dont know until you are there yourself. I saw in another post that the ones that agree with the content that has been on here either dont have kids or are actual kids themselves. Just look at it from a parents standpoint for once. PLEASE!
Ok hunter, what exactly would you do to fix it. I'm sorry to tell you, that because you agree with someone doesn't make it so, because you don't like something, doesn't make it a sin or abomination. It doesn't make you wrong but you're human and just as capable of sinning as anybody, including judging.
The ultimate responsibility of being a parent is to the parent, not to everybody else. That is one of the biggest problems with the world, not the fact that some think differently or may be more liberal or open minded than you, but that they expect others to do what they want.
You don't want your kids to see adult images or something they shouldn't, then don't try to get the tv channel to not show it but monitor what your childen watch. That's the problem to me, too many people want everybody else to do the work for them.
Its funny, I'm the one who was pushing to get the language filter fixed, I'm the one who is paying to get the stuff done so when you want to come on here and judge on what is or isn't fixing things, get your judgemental self right.
Now just because something offends you or makes you mad doesn't mean I agree with you, just like something you might like, doesn't mean I disagree with you.
You don't want to see anything questionable on here, but yet I'm sure there are some (and yes I know there are some) who don't want the bible verse and such that was on here on here, but guess what was said, if they dont want to see it, dont read it.
The problem with being fair, is that fair doesn't always suite your particular likes/dislikes or for that matter my personal likes/dislikes.
I care about the content that is seen on here too, one reason I created an old timers forum (trying to make sure if anything questionable was posted it was done in there), but lets not go extreme, or make sure you cancel any catalogs coming into your house, walmart sales papers, etc because I'm fairly sure they have women in bras in them *gasp*
Fact is, its a hard line to decide what is/what isn't allowed on things especially when what bothers/offends one, might not bother some others and we try to look a bit bigger than one or two people. You're always going to have a few people who don't like something. Like the brokebacks, I don't agree with their taste, but unless they go to far (like Jesse did), they have a right to voice opinions. Now if they go to far, and go into hate and attack, then yes they are gone. If they start messaging every guy and telling what they want to do to them, they are gone. If they defend the lifestyle, thats their right, just like its your right to defend a Christian lifestyle. I don't agree with them, but like is said, I'll defend their right to have their opinions.
And sorry if I sound hateful, but obviously you don't realize that things aren't always as cut/dry as you think. There is a lot of grey. I'd say you never thought that some would like to do away with anything religious, I know you have heard that a few think the 316 at the end of your name is 'offensive' just as there was a lot who thought Austin 316 was.
We just live in a world where everybody wants to blame everybody else for things. If the kid doesn't do well, its a teachers fault. If a kid doesn't play, its a coaches fault. If you don't get what you want, its a politicians fault. Lord knows, I'm as bad as anybody to place blame, but watch the news, read the papers, and you'll see that too many people want the world to raise their kids for them and then act shocked or mad when something happens they don't like.
Again, sorry if I come off hateful.
The language didnt bother me. I really didnt see much bad language. It was the pics that you allowed to stay in the avatars. And when I would ask a mod to do something they said you wouldnt let them. And yes I know I sin but I do my best not to. No one is without sin. And as for the Brokebacks I could care less what they post as long as it doesnt go too far. I have nothing against gays. I love each and everyone of Gods creations the same. I dont agree with their lifestyles but that is them not me. All I ask is when certain pics are placed on here that are not in good taste is that you let the mods take action. I know I flew off the handle on Mega before and for that I am truely sorry. I just got fed up with the questionable pics. But like Unchained I bid this site farewell. I will not reply or post again. And after you answer the next question I will not read this site again.
On a side note: Rock do you have kids yourself?
If you dont care then please take the 316 off of my name.
You can take the 316 off yourself (although not sure where that is).
And I had spoken to Mega several times before about that, but I have news for you, go to sportline.com (CBS site) or several other sites, you'll have things as showing as Mega's was, a point that was made to me but not by Mega.
With the ability to turn them off, it does allow the ability for someone to not see them if they find them offensive. I really wished the ability to turn off a particular one was available to all, not just through firefox and I do agree with your concerns about it, like a_football_fan I think said, you found Megas offensive, someone might have found Burrheads with a bottle in it offensive, someone might have found yours offensive, there is very few 'cut and dry' issues. If the ability was working before, I would have disabled avatars for a bit to have made the point. That was what I was attempting to do but when we had them taken out of signatures, it corrupted something and things weren't able to simply turn them off. I try to treat people like adults and hope that common sense or a bit more public sense works with them. There was good points made on both sides of the issue, and I'm sure some might not agree with decisions made, but some will not agree with any decisions made, that's just the problem with dealing with a large group of people who have differet views on things.
But do you or anyone you mentioned have kids?
Yes several, well I dont have several but other people do have kids. There is nothing wrong with trying to protect your kids, and in a manner shelter them, but its also not really good to think there isn't going to be things out there, and to be honest, if the worst thing they see is what was on here, then you're doing great. I forget where I was the other day, but someone was talking about their kid on the computer, tried to go a disney site I think it was, and as you might guess, most of the close relatives of the sites (see slight mistakes in spelling, different extentions .com .net etc) go to different sites, needless to say they didn't go to quite the same wonderful world of disney they were planning on going to. I mean its like whitehouse.com used to be (I have no idea if it still is) was totally not related to whitehouse.gov but many people clicked it innocently.
I mean I'm sure that others will tell you this, and if you are around kids in schools, you definitely know this. The parents who think they are sheltering their kids, that their kids are totally good kids, tend to have no idea how bad or how far their kids are.
Just seriously, food for thought.

I gotta agree with hunter here. It is different when you have kids of your own. But the pics have since been taken down hunter.
I believe that is barbeque sauce in my pic. Not for sure. Have to ask football fan. He would know!

He couldn't drink and smoke at the same time. By the way, Clintwood High School has blocked access to this site because of the questionable material. This is a Sports forum by the way! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
lol it may be, I think I seen Counts chug a bottle of barbeque sauce before
I agree too that its different when you have kids, but if you're afraid that something might be on here, check it out with the kids not in the room or such. Because even though we try to be around, sometimes things chance when we're not.

Are you serious?
Nope, they blocked it.
Most of the schools blocked it and not due to questionable material but because you had people ranting about how much someone was going to kick someones butt tomorrow night in the game.
playing devil's advocate here...did you call all the schools to know that is the reason people ranting, has nothing to do with cursing, homosexual pictures, among the discussions? I don't know if the next night's ball game is the reason they block it.....
back when i was in school they blocked it for the fighting amongst schools actually
Actually I talked to 2 people who were in charge of blocking it in 2 different school districts. Good enough? You had lots of coaches who wanted it blocked, didn't want all their secrets and such revealed, kind of the same reason you had a lot of coaches who told players not to post on it during season.
When I was at PV we could always get on it. I do remember a period though where we had to go through a proxy to get here. I'm not sure I'd made it through high school without this thing, those computer classes were boring.
Like I said devil's advocate....would it matter if it was "good enough"?

Nope, it wouldnt matter, I dont think. I mean some of them block email, almost anything.
your a grown man whinning about 2 girls kissin...
do you not let your kids watch tv?
Still don't need to be on a sports forum. Why should it be on here? Give me one valid reason. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Could be Heinz 57, could be Colt 45. It's open to interpretation. That was my whole point--a kid could see it and think one thing when an adult thinks it's harmless.
maybe it shouldnt have been on here but he wasnt breaking any rules, and when people sign up they have to be of age..
why should you have a picture of a guy grillin out on a sports forum??
And how many posts have been made on here that shouldnt be made?? How many insults, calling outs, calling people idiots, etc....how many posts have you when angered about something made and then had to edit....?
We'll complain about 2 girls kissing, but yet when we have congress talking about Clinton getting a [censored] in pretty good detail on tv, thats all ok, right?
Because i didn't do it to cause controversy. I would never cause any controversy! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
