Hey, Steve!
You weren't the only one who thought that, as you may recall, but it is sad to see the end of this forum over the past couple years. Baseball mom did her level best to maintain meaningful dialogue, but at the end of the day it only takes one fruitcake to poison the well.... I post occasionally on the Scout Indians forum, which is very lively year round and more firmly moderated than this forum. It is sad, especially since we have lots of history with some of the Players forum members from back in the day, guys like you & me, JoeZ, Becky, TribeSC, and a bunch of others I can't remember right now. But it would appear that this forum has gone the way of pets.com.... |

I haven't come back to this forum for months. First off, noone but me was still here, second, there's not much to discuss this off season yet. Spring training is around the corner. If I'm the only person still on this forum once we start hearing news from spring training so be it, but this was my first Indians forum and I still love it, even after 2 or 3 moves of sites. Later. Don't blame Chriscl, I think he enjoyed getting rises out of others more than he believed in many of his rants.

B-Mom, it doesn't matter what chris cleary believes or not. The point is that his incessant, uhh..... UNPLEASANT, shall we say, behavior drove folks away. As more left, the conversation dwindled, leading more to leave. Now it's pretty much you and the crickets, apparently.
Is Scott D. still moderating this thing? Or has he abandoned ship as well? I haven't seen him on the Scout board in a while, either... |

Hi Jeff!! How's it goin'?
"You weren't the only one who thought that, as you may recall, but it is sad to see the end of this forum over the past couple years." True on both counts. I don't know why Tanner felt compelled to tolerate that abusive behavior. He seemed to think it was funny. And don't even get me started on Gammp.... "I post occasionally on the Scout Indians forum..." I've seen you once or twice. I myself post there sort of sporadically - multiple times a day in multiple threads for a brief while, then nothing for a couple of months. "...which is very lively year round and more firmly moderated than this forum." Firmly moderated? That's one way to put it I suppose. I like the way it's done, but the one mod drives me nuts with the constant whining about supposedly "duplicate" threads, and other petty housekeeping issues. "It is sad, especially since we have lots of history with some of the Players forum members from back in the day, guys like you & me, JoeZ, Becky, TribeSC, and a bunch of others I can't remember right now." Ahh, the Players' Forum. I sure do miss THOSE days. Dennis Nosco, when he still used his real name as a username, Julie Kohler, who became Julie Dailey. I lost touch with her 6 or 7 years ago. JoeZ shows up on Scout occasionally, under the bobbinheaddollman handle. Haven't seen him recently, I know his health is an on-again off-again issue. If I knew how to access them, I'd be curious to dig through the Internet mirror archives to find those old forum pages. I got onto that board when I first got online, 1995 or 1996. Can't believe it was so long ago now. Do you remember when that board got "invaded" by the "Chief Wahoo is racist" people? It was funny, because all of the various factions on the board at the time suddenly stopped sniping at each other and started working together to defend the honor of the Chief. Ah, memories...... |
