Knicks · PSD closing, word to the new members (page 1)

Alpha1971 @ 7/20/2023 2:33 AM
I saw a sister Knicks Podcast is closing and some of its members may be migrating here to Ultimate Knicks. First off welcome. Just like to mention many of us here may have been members of PSD forums and migrated to Ultimate Knicks because while we all discussed the Knicks, the Forum at Ultimate Sports is way more chill and friendly. So if you migrate here, note the differences. Threads are open for anyone to create, conversations are not limited to a few threads. Also people don't take winning an argument over a player or acquisition seriously. We discuss all manners of topics in a more tongue and check way. So welcome but respect the differences of the forums and don't bring the toxic culture with you. Perhaps, other posters here can chime in and discuss the beauty of the Ultimate Knicks forums culture as they see it inorder to acclimate members arriving shortly. Don't be the people who move into a nice neighborhood inorder to turn it into your old neighborhood.

Also maybe don't use your former user names from PSD. Start new, life is change. Don't identify with who you used to be or ask who another person was at PSD so not to carry over old biases good or bad. Start fresh and approach interacting on Ultimate Knicks differently then how you used to on PSD. Do things the Ultimate Knicks forum way for now on.

It's the Alba effect

Best thing about the last playoffs. While TT might disagree. See that inside reference is something.Gentelman explain that Alba reference to newcomers, that will help highlight our boards personality. We don't come here to white knuckle arguments to prove we are right or the ultimate team experts. We get into the weeds at times but not at the expense of fun. We even when we have a skirmish never escalate it, a sense of humor is the best moderator

Well could be the prevalence of weed too

Wish I could smoke it and enjoy. I get neurotic. Once in College, smoked weed with classmates in Central Park and had a great experience. Recall " hearing the Earths heartbeat" while laying on the grass, and meeting a girl after singing her a love song. But last time I smoked I wanted to yank my tooth out with a set of pliers

Alpha1971 @ 7/20/2023 8:18 AM
Any of the Alba evidence available to post ? I can't do it on my phone while commuting. Heads on a swivel on the NY underground.

" Lovely Day " by Bill Withers is the song I nominate as the Ultimate Knicks forum Theme Song.

Is this thread worthy. I know this forum has lots of music lovers mostly rock fans, of I recall correctly.

For former members of the defunct Pro Sports Daily Forum, this board doesn't force conversations to remain in one designated thread. For example, if your discussing a trade it has to stay strictly in a thread for that topic. Inorder to discuss a trade or a free agent signing you don't have to have a link to said transaction to discuss it. Posters here don't keep a discussion here firing hot about a player they felt should have been drafted, or signed at the expense of another for 3 or 4 years. Then posters here don't go and search old posts from 3-4 years ago, to prove a point they have to " I' ll show that guy ". We dont claim expertise for making a opinion that might go out way and have to crow about it non stop. You guys at PSD might recognize what I am talking about. If that was your culture and the ecosystem you enjoyed, great for that past now dead forum. Just recognize the extent that those type of behaviors were practiced is not typical here. Many former members have come here to avoid that sort of thing. So if that is what you want to replicate, then those of you can keep your community alive at a Patreon, that was started by a PSD Knicks member. Or start one at Reddit.

If you misbehave, you will get the Fournier treatment and might be sent down to RealGM or Reddit.

This board is not just chill we are Trill. We moderate our selves with senses of humor. We realize sport is entertainment just like music or movies. Enjoy it and don't get worked up about it. Enjoy the wins and look forward to glory. Sure we lament the mistakes and setbacks. But sports is all about going forward after failure and that is a source of entertainment itself. So keep the arguments and claiming of expertise to a minimum and laugh with others and at yourselves. Plus enjoy the Rick Astley sound track of the forum, and learn what the Alba effect is, which was mentioned earlier. That's how we roll here.

Scales of magnitude my friend. Scales of magnitude. And if you site then it's because it's more the exception then the rule. Anyway, what do you like about this board ? Speak a little about the place and why you post, and what you would like to be preserved if a rush of new posters arrive with their own styles ?

It's the most 'mature' Knicks site imo. Most of the members are adults and keep the conversations civil yet fun and productive.
