    We’ll be happy to deal with any and all inquiries via PM.   

    Is there an individual PM address that gets sent to all mods? It might make this round of questions easier.  I'm interested in asking about it, but don't want to single out any particular mod.

     

    That said, have you considered posting the 'reason' for a given members punishment in the announcement of said punishment (which is normally locked against future comment)?  That was what the ban hammer thread had morphed into once upon a time before it became a piling on thread.

    So, for the last few weeks, there has been an ad on the very bottom of the page that constantly makes my screen go down to it. It pulls my screen down, and then when I try to scroll back up it just pulls it back down. While not a site-breaking issue (I just refresh), it is extremely annoying.

    Yes - me too today.  This was also another autoplay volume ad.  Ugh.

    I miss "You Might Like" over this :-)

    It's not mutually exclusive for Cam Newton to have (1) said a sexist thing that he shouldn't have and (2) been unfairly targeted for criticism because of racism

     

    He actually made a really good apology, it sounded sincere, like he wrote it himself, and wasn't just "I'm sorry if anyone was offended"

    But ... you should never apologize 'if you were offended'. Someone was offended. Just drop that part from the apology.

     

    I chuckled when I learned that "route running" is slang for guys chasing chicks. If that is where he was really going, trying to make a sly joke, it's kinda funny.  I get that it was offensive, but that makes it kinda funny in my mind.

    For around the last week, I can't read notifications or (as I just found out) sign in on Chrome for Android. Three different devices are having the same problem, on wi-fi and mobile data. They're all up-to-date AFAIK. When I click on the three lines in the upper right corner, the screen dims like it normally does, but nothing ever pops up. I can use the other buttons at the top; it's just the important one that's the problem.

     

    Anyone else?

    Me too

     

    ETA - Thanks for the update. Not intuitive at all.

    True, but morally, it just seems wrong to me. It seems wrong for someone to steal your design, but then make it theirs using their money.

    So - are you okay with having taken the Navy logo in the first place to make a logo that you could sell mini helmets on which it is used?

     

    Edit - I'm not really trying to be an ass with this. I find the juxtaposition of IP theft an interesting mental game here.  I'll shut up about it.

    From a moral standpoint; don't do it.

     

    From an economic standpoint; do it!

     

    It's really up to you, though. I personally wouldn't do it.

    That's an awfully expensive high horse.

     

    Don't misconstrue what I'm saying. You have an opportunity to make money off of a design you made.  Make money. You never know where it could lead.

     

    Side note - Is it really yours since you admittedly started with the intellectual property of Navy?  I thought what was theirs is always theirs.

  7. Into the media realm for the next few days. I'll be volunteering for NCAA Round 1&2 games at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.  I'm in media credentials, so media members will be coming through the group I'm in to get passes, information and the like.

     

    I'll be pretty scarce until the week is out starting at about 4 PM Central tomorrow.

    I also have gotten such messages on mobile, mostly on my phone. My tablet hasn't really had such problems while accessing the boards, not for a while at least.

     

    The moderators need to seriously tackle this issue real soon.

    I'm guessing if the moderators aren't 'seriously tackling this issue', it's likely because it isn't widespread.  Maybe you need to see if you've gotten your phone infected.

    My take on Joe Buck calling baseball wasn't serious. I think Buck does a great job on baseball games.

     

    I worked in sports radio for a while too. What did you do at your station? 

    It's a stretch to say I was really IN sports radio, but I've been on-site producer / spotter / statistician (and off air color guy - feeding my observations to the PxP guy) for high school football on one of the sports stations in Milwaukee.  My on air broadcast partner is a real pro, and does PA for non-revenue sports at one of the Universities in Milwaukee (MU) as well as PA for the Lakeshore Chinooks.

    Just take the NFL stuff and add the following - Joe Buck hates your team and he loves the team your team is playing. He's an unabashed Cardinals homer, except that Cardinals fans are convinced that Buck hates the Cardinals too. That's all you really need to know to get an idea of how he calls MLB. B)

    Your take on Joe for MLB is the same as the take on Joe for NFL (at least as I've heard it).

     

    Having worked in small time sports on radio, I take pride in preparation, and I'm not even on air.  I don't take issue with Joe/Troy from a preparation standpoint, and that same thing can't be said about the majority of broadcast teams.

    We've had ads here for a while. There's no need for this specific style of ad. No need for it to be so large.

    So you're willing to cover whatever revenue would be lost by shrinking those ads?  I'm sure Chris and Yzerfan would be happy to chat with you about that.

    Honestly, I really don't care what it means. I appreciate the advice, but I think you're assuming I'm taking the whole thing a lot more seriously than I am.  I was just trying to answer someone's question. We've already wasted way more time on it that necessary. B)

    Me neither. Just having fun!

    Yeah, I get the Wizard of Oz reference. What I meant was I have no idea why Mockba chose that as his member title. Probably should have worded it better than I did. 

    I always assumed it was a tongue in cheek 'hey, it's a message board - lighten up'.  I consider it good advice whenever I'm on a message board.

  14. Yeah - what's the issue with Photobucket? I often see/hear it scoffed at here, but haven't had an issue with it.

    • PBs UI is just garbage.
    • PB is comparable to MySpace, and this is in no way a compliment. They constantly try to change but the site simply refuses to admit defeat, getting worse and worse with each revision.
    • PB is annoying as hell about embedding images, often redirecting you to the photobucket page of that image rather than simply the .jpg or .png image itself.

    I mean it's not the worst thing in the world, but I personally despise it.

    Thanks for the responses. I haven't had any of those issues, so they're news to me.
