Hey guys & Gals!
I posted in this forum because i DO want views, meaning people have read this.
This will be my 4th summer here and it is no different than the previous 3. EVERY single summer it gets kind of quiet around here with nothing more than bases. Alot of people simply DON'T bet baseball. We have "Regulars" every year that take a few months off until NFL, College Foots, NBA & College Hoops Start. It is nothing new and it doesn't mean that all kinds of regulars stopped posting for reasons people speculate on daily. Some may, BUT MANY others just don't care for bases or would rather have summer "Family" time.
I guarantee come football season that there will be 1,000 people here on the 1st Sunday of football. It gets bigger and bigger every year.
There have been a few disagreements here lately or people just seemingly frustrated for whatever reason. One person in particular has acted as childish as they come and i can say that because i've read the emails. "WE" are done kissing that ass and trying to mold the site to their needs. It is seriously ridiculous.
To the others (like chuck) who post threads seemingly out of frustration for whatever reason (Today). I say this. Chuck, my brother, there has to be more to it than views or responses 'cause that's NOT you.
I never sugar coat my thoughts here and never have. We have an "Open Door" policy and will help any member we can with any problem BUT, if we don't know it exists, it is hard to help.
I'll be the 1ST to ever admit here than when i 1st signed up in 2002, i thought views, responses, and love was what made you a key member here. ANYONE that says they didn't look at the views even sub-conciously (<--- Spelling ?) when they 1st came here is not telling the truth. If you post DAILY and get no views or responses, it does kind of feel like you are wasting your time OR not liked very well. It's a normal feeling and it does feel different than getting 1,000 views and 50 Good Lucks.
I seriously just don't care anymore. Some days i post plays and it quickly falls to page 3 with limited views and responses. Unlike in the beginning, it's O.K.
I post, just to let people here know what i'm playing. If they like it, like to just look at it, OR want to fade it, that's up to them. My records in some sports have been downright HORRIBLE and that's probably a GREAT fade! That's why my records are posted, so YOU can decide. I've been updating them every 1-2 weeks during the summer.
Some people used to think i posted all my different sports in several posts during the day just to bump my thread. The truth is that i've used my own kind of "Format" for posting each sport for years. I use the footballs, basketballs and so on to let you see how many units i'm risking. It is a style i like to call my own and have used it as my "Posting Personality" here for years. I can't put them all in post one because you cannot use more than 10 smiley posts in each post. I also look at what time each sport starts and cap them here or there throughout the day. I play ALOT of sports and it takes forever trying to do everything at once.
Summer is truly a grind with bases. Take some time here and there to refresh the head.
Last thing. Some posters here who do NOTHING but add negative crap into threads ARE about to get a warning 1st and a release 2nd. I'm here ALOT and have been daily for years. With that said, i could go into MANY threads and post negative thoughts or call people out on records OR just dispute something they've said or done. I've done it in the past when things get out of hand but i don't do it nearly as often as i could. People like mmw are in for a wake up call soon. People who are fairly new, don't post plays often, and run their mouths consistantly will be shut down. Like i said, i could say alot more too but choose NOT to, so take that advice. Others, i have NO INTEREST in defending because i have 100 reasons NOT to care!
All thoughts are welcomed and appreciated!
