    Another thing.....I am sure that if one indoor league folds, there will be 100 more announced to take it's place. The ideal scenario is one super Indoor league via a merger of multiple leagues, but that isn't going to ever happen.

    No. The ideal is multiple regional leagues with minimal travel to save on costs.

    This looks familiar.  I saw it on a van earlier this morning.

    The misspelling just hurts my eyes. Why would you leave out the second 'e'?

    I really appreciate Chicago’s naming conventions, because it’s easy to be clear and concise in traffic reports about which road you’re talking about. “[inbound or outbound] [name of expressway]” is pretty easy and unambiguous!

     

    Except that those of us (me) who don't live there can't keep track of which is the Eisenhower, the Dan Ryan, or the Tri-State. 🙂

    I got murdered by them today again on mobile.  "Congratulations Google User!"  I'm close to giving in and just clicking through to claim my prize, since once you get into a loop of those you can't really use the site for a while.  PC is fine, but I did have to turn on an ad blocker because it was essentially unviewable without.

     

     

    Just put up a :censored:ing ad-free paid option already.  I go on dozens of sites every day - at least 5 of them are other Invision or phpBB boards - and this is the only one I have any issues with.  The experience isn't even comparable. 

    In the defense of the board, not everyone has this problem, and certainly not to the extent you have described.  I get it -- I have had a periodic problem, but again, not like you have described.

    My PC is fine thanks to AdBlocker.  I still unfortunately run into the bad ad issue on my iPhone 7, which has no content blocker installed.

    I have no re-directs on my laptop or PC, and have no adblockers installed. It's been a while since I've gotten a re-direct on my phone - again with no adblocker.

    Just seeing if different users/configurations helps any.

    Yeah this is REALLY bad. It's every single thread. I can’t go into a single thread (including this one, SEVEN times before I was able to actually finish this post) without this happening. It’s killing the boards, and makes me feel like this may be the thing that legit kills this whole thing for me. 

    At this point, I'd say it's you more than the boards. I'm not having anything LIKE this issue, and it appears no one else is (unless everyone has decided to not post about it).

    Not sure about everyone else, but it seems like the amount of full page border ads I’ve been getting recently has decreased dramatically. 

    I tried to access via mobile this morning, and couldn't even click a forum section due to the border ad. I'll probably just not use mobile until I see that there aren't issues anymore. I can navigate on computer, so that isn't an issue.

    It seems like ESPN had a great thing going with Tirico and Gruden (and Jaws at one point), and once they messed with that they could never find a combination that worked. 

    I didn't realize anyone actually liked Gruden the announcer in the last 5 years. He was awful, calling every player the greatest thing ever.

    Just an FYI, I made the same mistake, they're interested in the links of the Amazon redirects, not just screen caps.

    I know, which is why I said that I close my browser on the phone as soon as it happens. I'm more interested in making sure my phone isn't subject to a malicious website than in grabbing screen caps.  Sorry.

    It seems that the Pacific Coast League is slowly moving everything near the central United States rather than the Pacific coast. New Orleans seems to be the only PCL club that would fit the bill for the Southern League. (Cant imagine Nashville or Memphis dropping down). As for the Southern League Ive heard Chattanooga had been wanting a new ballpark. Havent heard anything regarding Tennessee Smokies but I do see Jackson as the likely candidate.

     

    Meanwhile the collegiate Northwoods League appears to be closer to adding every Wisconsin town, another Wisconsin town to the circuit as Waukesha looks to build a new ballpark in time for the 2019 season. With Kokomo Jackrabbits and St Croix RiverHounds already set to join next season this would give the Northwoods League 23 clubs for next year, 11 of which are in Wisconsin (Eau Claire, La Crosse, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Kenosha, Mequon, Madison, Wausau, Wisconsin Rapids, Hudson and Waukesha). The new ballpark in Waukesha, a Milwaukee suburb, are to be built less than 20 miles from a new Franklin, WI ballpark being built for a new independent American Association club for next season. Meanwhile in Beloit, it looks like they may be close to getting a new ballpark built to replace their current ballpark which is not in MiLB standards. Wisconsin must really love baseball.

     

     

     

    The new ballpark in Waukesha is anything but a done deal. Along those lines, there's also talk of one being built in Pewaukee. The two locations are MAYBE 10 miles from each other. Mequon is a 40 minute drive tops from either of those two locations (I was there all summer long as Official Scorer for the Chinooks).

    "for accounts banned due to circumventing"

     

    I read this as being connected to the account and I also read it as applying to the dupe account.  My guess is that it was meant the way you are interpreting it (and I am sure a mod will get to this soon enough).  But I read it as NJTank being eligible but not Tank's "Sunglasses Bobby V" because the latter was banned due to circumventing another ban.  I don't read it as "people that ever created a dupe account."  And I don't quit understand why we'd consider bringing someone back for being a jerk, but not if they happened to do that.

    I'm guessing because dup accounts have been a no-no since the Nick voting scandal, so it becomes a clear line that can't be crossed. It is as clear a rule as can be, which makes enforcement easy.

    I agree with this.  Maybe it starts the clock over.  But, for example, Tank came in the day after and did one.  To my knowledge he has not been back.  I don't know why dupe accounts are double-secret worse than being combative or vulgar.

     

    EDIT: Actually now that I read that:

    • Appeals of a CCSLC account banning are not eligible for accounts banned due to circumventing other CCSLC bans/suspensions or for accounts flagged as spam accounts.

    I'd say that, for example, Tank could appeal as NJTank, but he could not appeal his dupe account (and why would he?).  NJTank was not banned due to circumventing.  It was banned for his argumentative behavior. 

    But he created a dup account to circumvent the rules. He can't be allowed back based on how this is stated.

     

    ETA - It's not the account, it's the person, that matters.
