META: Off topic season is OVA

Submitted by Brian on

Kids! Fall camp has started and that means we are in season mode on MGoBlog. Off topic threads are now verboten with limited exceptions. 

Those exceptions are: Detroit pro sports threads in moderation. End of list. 

As a reminder, the following things are on topic: 

  1. Michigan sports
  2. Big Ten sports
  3. Michigan opponent items
  4. College football/basketball/hockey in general
  5. Things about the university or Ann Arbor
  6. META is not on topic, but it is not offtopic. It is META.

Putting an OT in front of these makes me a sad panda. 

Happy posting.

Feel Christmas coming, but this post is the equivalent of mom putting out the advent calendar and opening the first little door and you getting a crappy piece of candy because this is last years advent calendar but she forgot to put it out because she was "away at mommy camp" and you had to stay with uncle Todd who was doing his Gaia thing with his spirit woman Rainsong so instead of Christmas and an advent candy you got winter festival and a piece of vegan jerky that Rainsong makes and you didn't get days off school because living with Todd there was no school nearby but instead of it being awesome you had to hang around the yurt and make soaps to sell at the coop.

There are some single-issue accounts that can be funny (THE_KNOWLEDGE, THE_IGNORANCE, I only post in GIFs, Craig James, etc). This is not one of them. By the way, why didn't you name yourself "The Ghost of No-OT"?

Over and out.

that he should have called himself 'Ghost of no-ot'

-or-

maybe it's not just a coincidence that "no-ot" suddenly registered and started posting the very same day that Brian issued his META Proclamation .  Could "no-ot" be a minion of Brian, assigned here for no other reason than to seek out violators?  Or could it---heaven forbid---be an alter-ego of Brian himself, mingling among us to sniff out infidels?

META topics must wait when the Tigers are busy crushing the spirits of the Indians and their fans.  This also explains the permitted OT list, although I feel like it should include a Columbus-area soccer game in a little more than a month, as well.

This is a fun discussion.  Your username is creative but here's a tip:  You worry about your content and the moderators will worry about what is acceptable and what is not.  They get paid good money to do this so please let them do their jobs.  If you do, you won't have to post anymore.  See, I just saved you some time in the day!  You're welcome.
