BTW, moderators change from time to time, but those changes have yet to be about someone's actions (with the sole exception of Thunder). People come and go, I left for about 4 months last year, and as I've tried to keep the staff with about 10 people, when I notice a dropping number of mods on the "last 24 hours" list I review who has been in and who hasn't and make changes where needed. Just prior to the start of this season I came across this situation and found several that hadn't been on in a month for a variety of reasons and swapped them with an equal number of highly active members that were proven good posters. It had nothing to do with what the previous mods had or hadn't done, only the frequency that they were present. I don't think I've ever explained that recent change, so I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Couldn't agree more. I don't get on here as much as I used to since I popped out a kid, but I still feel like this is the place I can come to when I need to talk football, vent, or discuss things happening in my life. This started out as a place to talk sports and trash, but over the past couple of years, I feel like I know most of you sickos. My boyfriend laughs at me sometimes because I'll start telling him about something I read on here, and he gets a kick out of how I make it sound like I was sitting on the front porch talking to y'all. This is a great place, and I for one have no plans of taking my smart ass opinions anywhere else. I love all you guys.

Nice post Deac. Especially considering all your other umm "issues" that I have gotten to know.
Not only has this board been like a big sometimes dysfunctional family, but when we get together in any numbers it tends to feel like a family reunion.
Hell this board has actually forced me to have friends that LIKE UGAg

You just might want to get one of your friends to taste that "Crown" I send you, NVA.

Well shucks deac. Appreciate the props and I concur with your sentiments about the board. I'm sure I'm not alone but when I have trips planned to areas of the country one of the first things that pops into my mind is "how many pairs of underwear should I bring". Then the second is usually "does any board members live in that area".

On a serious note I think the common bond with everyone on this site is that we all have certain degrees of humility. We certainly don't always see eye to eye but everyone here is big enough to admit when they could be wrong.

This is a great board and even though I started posting here about 6 months before TBDPITL started I think this board actually got better since the formation of that board.
Maybe it's just because we're halfway away from having voted for a president and halfway away from voting for a new one this board doesn't seem as contentious as it once was.
I do enjoy my time here and thanks Sad!

Nah, it's you're inability to win a bet, but the ultimate ability to man up and pay with tasty beverages. ;D Such as the tasty Crown that I am drinking, now. ;D Really, do you think guys at CBS would pay off on bets, such as this? Would they send you that bottle of Crown? Besides, the Jax guys, here, I have met dpb, and GT. Both, great guys, although GT needs to work on his golf game. ;D Regrettably, I had the chance to meet up with IrishNY, but shit came up at work and I had to cancel. Nevertheless, it's always great to meet guys on the board, and I will always make an effort to do so. So, if anyone is coming to, or through Jax, don't forget to let us know.

Tony, every one just passes through Jax. It is just a place to stop and have a drink or take a piss on the way to Orlando or South Florida.

Someone will mention it so I might as well beat them to the punch. Yes I am well aware that I am the "Family Dog" as it were. In the manner of Brian from Family Guy, yes I suppose you are

I've been around since the time Sadovin was smog on cbssportsline and thru the aborted attempts at boards like the original CfbParadise and others. i think someone needs to tell the other 20 or so guys that still post there that its aborted That board may still be in existence, but I was there when Sad aborted his efforts to run that board the way he has run this one. Erock, you have to admit, that place was never as welcoming to newbies nor as open minded as this place. I remember posting over there and getting ignored or ganged up on. My whole point is, he lost control of that board and others but instead of giving up, he was persistent enough to keep at it until he was able to build the online community that he envisioned. That's the persistence I wasa talking about. I'm glad he stuck with it deac its not that its not welcoming to newbies...its that alot of those guys have been posting together for a long time and there are alot of inside jokes that newbies dont get...and alot of times those jokes arent ever explained so the newbies generally wont get it...but if they stick it out most times they have a blast and get to meet a great bunch of dudes...like here...but yes i admit it isnt easy sometimes to do that

Well, I made an attempt to manage a board after I was booted. I didn't have the time to make it continue to work. It was fun for a while, then too much like work. It is nice to have someone that takes the time to stick with it.
Thanks, I have enjoyed my return visit.

AAHHHH isnt this thread sweet, why dont you wusses just give each other a group hug!!!
Ok, so that was my attempt at witty humor, trying to follow in my idol NCB's footsteps.
Now seriously, I have thoroughly enjoyed being here as well. Even though I have gotten pissed off in the past and taken a hiatus from here, I always migrate back. If any of ya'll are ever in south ga, I would definately feed ya. BTW, cff when are you coming back by? My dad said you can have all the pecan wood you want, there are plenty of trees to cut down. lol

It has been hectic. The new building is almost complete and too much other stuff going on with work. In addition to that, got a lot going on at the home front. It seems like I spend most of my time traveling back and forth.
