Admins - I absolutely love this site and visit it everyday (I don't post often but I'm here everyday) - mostly while at work - but it's become harder and harder to do that with some of the profanity and images that are starting to appear. I know we are very passionate about the Knicks and those emotions come through in our posts, but for those of us that few this site at work (and are work with very sensitive IT folks) it's a little tricky opening some of the posts becuase your never really sure what's going to be in them. Are we being losy gosy on the initial parameters are is this the way it's going to be? The language doesn't bother me but if it is, I'm going to have to wait to catch up when I get home. Just wondering..
NY KNICKS 4 EVER! Will we ever find players like Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniels, Patrick Ewing again? I hope so.

I think we are going to have to start policing this a bit better....especially with the images. I browse at work too where an image of a scantily clad cheerleader in the game thread probably is not a good thing to appear on my screen.

I'm glad you were able to understand my mumbo jumbo. I didn't re-read to catch some of the mistakes. Thanks for responding.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

working from home rules.

how about this: I'll add code at the top of the page that turns on/off images in the forums. It'll default to ON and later on we'll incorporate into the profile section.

Good enough? Other suggestions in this area?

I think we need to keep the girl pics (Unless it's not skanky) in the Alba thread. It definitely can be akward if you're at work or the school library and something bad pops up in front of other people.

As for the language, I think everything is kept in check. Overall, you and Martin do an excellent job monitoring this site and certainly deserve the recognition you have recieved in all those magazine and newpaper articles.

that sounds good....i can deal with the profanity...most people mistype those words so it's not a big deal. having the ability to turn of the images would be fantastic. great idea! thank you.

Soooooooooooo, now on to the bigger issue. Search function? Heh? Heh?

Speaking of search function, I think there should be a special Allanfan20 Search function where there's a button at the top that takes you to a page that allows you to search through all your favorite Allanfan20 posts. I personally think this would attract masses upon masses of hoops fans and we would all get MSG recognition, hence, season tickets for all.

You're talking about season tickets to the circus right?

Yeah I agree about the pictures. I don't see much problem with profanity on this site. But then again I have ooh ahh on ignore so maybe that's why.
I just hope that people will like me

Yeah I asked a little while ago about disabling images. I don't mind browsing through them while I'm at home, but can't risk it at work. A couple other forums have this and it would be a really useful tool.

Could you make the screen look like a spreadsheet instead of a Bulletin Board? That way, when the boss comes 'round, he'll think I'm working. Oh, and it would help if all the text were encoded and represented by numbers to complete the effect.

Thanks.
