If you ran MgoBLOG for one day......
Ban anyone who posts a topic about what you would do if you ran MGoBlog for a day.

You got me for a second there. I mean, for like literally one second. But you got me.
One word (rubs hands devilishly)
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
So much Kate Upton
So much less Kate Upton*
Agreed, it's getting creepy and (dare I say it) RCBM-esque
There was a current events blog I used to visit that I quit because it became a gruesome cult of personality for the blogmaster (hint: Lizards, that's all I'll say).
But the guy was a tech genius and his site was amazing. The best thing was that thread comments loaded in real-time from the latest post, so you could literally watch the thread refresh. Cool story and all, yes, but that was an impressive blog technically.
That's actually not that techmaster-hard. It's just an ajax function.
I'm a /nerd
That's pretty basic functionality, actually. You should hop on IRC, which has been around forever, and really be amazed.
I do miss the neg to Bolivian.
Without the stick what good is the carrot?
I know nothing about the programing requirements or how it works... The old scoring system where pos bangs (and usually more entertaining) neg bangs were really something.
Edit: beaten to the punch!
The posbang and negbang thing
Reach out to former players and ask them to do some live blogs.
I'd limit ellipses to three dots...period.
That's impossible. Females don't fart.
like someones spouse is from Ohio?
They don't poop either.
They just bitch instead
I'd shut it down just so everyone would freak out and think that Hand committed.
Oy, I've been reading A Song of Ice and Fire too much: I read that as "the Hand" and wondered which plot-line you were referring to.
I feel you vastly underestimate the number of soccer fans here, including Brian Cook.
That's 19 more than the average college football blog.
even with an OT forum people would still bitch. maybe more...
If you ever visit RCMB you would know what the potential of an OT board would look like.
Which is kind of curious, since they have other boards for their OT shit, but their main board is still all crapped up.
If you get the posbang/negbang back, it works better than having an OT board. The crap OT is punished with a negbombing and then removed by a mod once the tribe has spoken.
Having a dedicated OT board is like creating a space for mediocrity to flourish.
Return the neg Brian.
I actually like some of their OT stuff. The comments, well, yeah, but I sometimes scan RCMB simply because there are some interesting OT stuff. Rather than clutter our main board here, I think you could get a nice OT thread, and then like others said, have a true pos/neg system again and if it's unwarrented OT it gets bombed. If that's the biggest downside, and you can get some cool OT links, because lots of us at least have similar interest (I like the Space OT links, for instance, but not everyone does; others are the drinking threads, the pro-sports teams, etc that a lot people like to reasonably justify a thread, but not everyone does like it). I've long thought a OT thread would be nice.
Also, FWIW, I do like the set-up that the MSU 247 has with the Duff. A general recruiting thread, then a thread for individual recruits. When someone has an update or whatever, that person gets pushed to the top and people can discuss that recruit. Maybe it becomes more difficult to moderate if people don't follow the rules, but I think it's a pretty nice way to get the people interested in recruiting to sort the info and give a place for people to discuss those recruits.
I visit other message boards and they have "General Talk" boards. Yes, they allow people to start topics that I wouldn't discuss but the beauty is all that trash is filed away in a completely different forum.
Either way, no big deal. I will continue to wade through the garbage posts to find the gems I find and enjoy here. I was just suggesting a way to make it better.
Michigan sports are not linked with any other pro sports unless there is a player that played at Michigan on the current team. I have a feeling if I posted a topic every day with my favorite pro teams more would complain since my team is not from the state of Michigan.
Just my opinion.
I'd be into that, but maintain some kind of points total before you can post there.
Basically it's a "shoot the sh*t " room for regulars. I'd love to get to know some of you people better and you seem like folk who could converse on other topics.
Get rid of people who make multiple accounts.
Well, maybe not permanently.
