Do any of you guys post on there site..i think it's a good site jus a little confusing how it's set up..i usually read the threads and articles, never posted anything..seems like a decent site
I'm an ultimateknick loyalist, but we have lost a lot of good poster's on this board..
I used to love MSGnetwrk boards, but the censor sht got ridiculous (hint hint martin).. Good thing Allanfan hook me up with this site..
Still haven't gone to one of the get togethers, but thats only cause im not in NY as much since i moved to maryland....
I still can't believe TMS hasn't come back yet..good dude..
"Posting & Toasting" Looks like a good site, especially for those who want to be long-winded - looks like you sort of make a blog post and people respond to it. Triple Threat would love it.
As regards the posters we've lost.... Without specifying any particular situation, I think the mods here are quite tolerant. Speaking for myself only, I've observed that the people who've left more permanently were thin-skinned and uncompromising. Either that or they were incorrigible trolls. Even so, it appears that guys who want to come back have been given that opportunity, sometimes numerous times. (I say this as someone who has been around nearly 10 years. Cripes!)
Otherwise, I don't think we've "lost" a lot of good posters. I think a lot of posters probably just got burned-out on posting. It happens. Sometimes I think particular threads have caused bad feelings (specifically the political ones) and people don't feel like coming back for a while.
Some good ones left on their own accord such as BlueSeats I think, who I had enormous respect for...Fair dude and insightful...Oohah made a cameo recently, couldn't resist taking a lick at MDA,haha...But we lost a few, maybe burn out is right...

You are right. I will post headlines some times but posting day in and day out I am burned out. I really don't know what to say. I like reading some positive posts and what I mean by positive mean it don't have to be a positive message. It can negetave as long as it makes sense. Like the post I put up this morning that it was important for the Knicks to beat Clevland by 20 points becaus it seems like they have our number.Yes that sorry team. I woildn't care if they lost the last 3 games but they should have made a statement to the Cavs that this is not the same old team.n So we made the play-offs and what are we going to do 4 and out? 5 and out? Loosing to Cleveland tells me that this is the same old team. Watching Amare have players blow by him is a shame. He gives up more points then he scores. Melo making no effort. no pride. If this was the case he should have not even played the game. Take a one day vacation.
Im not on the banning bandwagon but if you don't monitor things you lose more people who will turned off by out of hand threads then perhaps the actual "Offender".
This place works. bring the argument on a "factoral" basis and respect is usually reciprocal even agreement is not apparent.
