Words to live (and post) by, courtesy of stephenrjking:

News for obnoxious fans of all teams: Engaging in schadenfreude over the athletics troubles of your rivals is a perfectly enjoyable, reasonable passtime during the week.

Gleefully pointing out the errors of a select few former players and asserting that somehow the fact that they played at the school is what caused them to commit their illegal acts is classless and hypocritical. Unless you jump on Michigan's grave for guys like Rick Leach and Braylon Edwards. Guess what? Every school has guys who, over the course of decades, have played for their sports teams and gone on to embarrass themselves at later times.

Thanks Chop for the assist.  I didn't see that thread but it was the homophobic slur that gave it away - if I recall correctly that is one of his calling cards.

FWIW it is funny though when you go on a rant like I did with someone and their comments get cratered.  For all the world it looks like I'm yelling at they poster who said his name makes him break out in hives.....lol.

It's too hard to go around tracking IP addresses and stuff to make sure a banned poster stays banned. Even if someone identifies themselves, and they're not being a horse's ass now, I'll let it stay. I mean if the former troll is back and hiding by perfectly mimicking a kind, conscientious, intelligent and productive contributor then Mission. Fucking. Accomplished.

Debated whether this was mention-worthy or not... but what the heck:

The flowchart for creating MGoContent (Octal9 put together an image) is stickied at the top of MGoBoard. Unfortunately, it no longer has an image, as far as I can tell, so the thread is basically pointless. If it's not possible to recover the flowchart itself, might I suggest un-stickying the thread to keep the top of the page cleaner?

Congrats on the addition to the family, but I think we've found the limit on how OT we'll go after Christmas. Because a) I had a second to do it and b) there were some cool responses, here's a screenshot of the first fifty comments. Hopefully that helps.

and thus not able to see if you removed the points of user with Oregon State comment, but if you did, I think it was a bit harsh. 

While rape jokes may be in poor taste, this comment didn't cross that line and direclty target the alleged victim, and I'm not sure I've seen someone lose all points for a post this mild.

Within reason, I'm not going to try and decide which rape jokes were "harsh" or "mild", they're all unwelcome; using a lyric device to (loosly, granted) equate rape with a bowl game practice just isn't something I'm comfortable letting stand as is.

The best rule of thumb is to not make rape jokes at all. That's a pretty basic posting rule that's been enforced in the past, and that seems to be the reason they aren't seen often on MGoBlog.

Don't know if you should be questioning another guy's manhood when you're spending ten hours on a Friday night watching Kate Upton videos.

Left it up for about an hour, got some seemingly good responses which can be seen by clicking here.

I also took a second to do some research, and maybe your buddy should try using the contact information from the Alumni Association- France. They also have a Facebook page that I'm sure could prove helpful.

Advice from MgoblueAF:

Have you tried Whiskey Joe's. It's on the other side of the bridge, but a cool bar:

+1 (813) 281-0770
7720 W Courtney Campbell Cswy

Also, in my experience most national chains will have BTN. Call ahead to BWW's or Hooters (the original one is right in town) and I think you'll find a "yes" pretty easily.

In the OP's defense, I had to actually go look for it on the front page after seeing a couple negs. On the other hand the front page is where the search function took me.

Seth is probably the guy to start with on this one, unless another mod took away points on 11/23/12, which was after Seth's initial neg for an unrelated reason (there isn't a description for it).

This is very interesting.  It looks like points were set to expire but instead 100,000,000 were awarded, and then taken away the next day, and then accidentally taken away again at the end of the year.  In other words, there's an addition of 100,000,000 and then two subtractions of 100,000,000.  I assume this is an accounting error but I'll leave it to Seth to sort out since I wasn't the mod that was involved.

Disgruntled former moderator.  I got a lot of problems with you people!

I remember when they were sometimes when someone was awarded points temporarily that even after they were taken off when the 1 years expired they were taken off again. But I thought they had stopped expiring.

You broke MGoBlog. What seems to have happened is your initial sentence expired on the date it was supposed to, and took away 1 million points twice. I don't really want to pick through the database cause it's large and little things going wrong on export or import or me saving could make a hell of a mess, so if you suddenly dip a billion points again post here and we'll take care of it.

There's a sickening video going around of a high school kid in a rival's t-shirt making 12 and a half minutes of jokes about the thing you don't make jokes about. Don't post it.
