That would be nice, but I'm not talking about images in general, I'm talking about the need to reply to every thread with images now. You know, like the failblog stuff, or random gifs of people looking confused at one another, stuff of that nature. The thread that turned into the teddy bear nightmare when some are trying to have a conversation.

Sure, some of it is funny, but...when it's turning out to be every thread and reply, it kind of ruins things and defeats the purpose of even having a conversation in the first place.

I've said my peace I will move on....just wanted to throw it out there since it seemed to become a sudden trend that is popping up everywhere.

Are you kidding me Cosmic???

This is the most boring off-season in like 10 years!!! You are complaining about images??? I feel like that Iverson vid.

Please dude....during the season nobody will be posting images like we are doing now....there's nothing to even talk about right now.

I tell you what...why don't Martin and Andrew just shut the site down until the season starts so they can save on electricity???

Please re-read my posts. For you obviously missed the point.

I have no problem with images. I have a problem with a well thought out post replied to in a childish manner with some retarded photo. I have a problem with good threads being derailed as a result.

That's it.

I'm not looking for a crusade here I just noticed that 3 threads were destroyed today because of the childish RealGM style of replying to posts with a simple image of stupidity.

It's not cool and it's not funny. It has it's moments but it has become commonplace literally overnight. I'd rather that doesn't happen here.

Open any 3 threads on RealGM. Any... and you'll see what I'm referring to. It's migrating over here and it's ruined a couple of threads already for no reason at all.

Boredom isn't an excuse to ruin discussion and that's my point. There's other ways to cure boredom around here.

That's why Martin and Andrew put a turn images off button...

Comparing us to RealGM because we just wanna have some fun and fool around is a joke. RealGM is a wasteland of posters who are mostly 14-16 years old and douchebags like TrueBlue sprinkled in. There are 0 thoughtful discussions that go on over here. This place is nowhere close to becoming RealGM. There are many smart posters over here and nothing has been ruined by anyone.

The threads that are taken seriously are filled with serious replies. The ones that aren't get the joke replies. It has nothing to even do with boredom. People enjoy it. It's not going to be as dry as a dessert in here. Discussion is great but there is also not much to discuss right now. It's also not going to be a forum devoid of any fun. I'm not seeing where something like this you are describing has deliberately destroyed a serious thread. I would like to see examples with links to the threads.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I think cosmic has a point though...the pictures thing IS a bit obsessive.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

Sometimes a well placed picture speaks a 1000 words and gets the message through.

Eny that is disgusting!
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

with all respect to cosmic, who's a GREAT poster, i live for the humor on this board. there are some major funny cats who post here, and it gives me a lift to come on here during the day and get cracked up. after all, how much of male bonding is about busting balls and cracking one another up??

Same here...the guys that come through here usually have something to say. very insightful. pics and youtube vids, links, the whole alba thing....its all in fun man. this is definately a male bonding enviroment that even chics can dig. if we were that serious we'd be nothing but a bunch of stooges...(cue the youtube vid)

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
