Slapdad Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Okay, let’s get some other views on this post from the new BSU board. Is it bad form to encourage people on another board if it’s not a competing board (I.e. both boards are for the same team or conference)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ah, WilliamHicks doing WilliamHicks things. I wonder how his blog is going over that way? He probably has some really cool embedded songs on the side of his profile. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Nevada board I've been on has always had cross traffic and links to the board for whatever conference we've been in. There was even links to other Nevada boards (remember the ill-fated Battle Born Sports?) and it always generated more traffic, so I don't know why you wouldn't want people going back and forth. It increases traffic and encourages more posts. That being said, I'll say that the new BSU board is head and shoulders above the previous board run by Hitler Rafter, but that was a swing and a miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I didn't figure you for a Crying Drama Queen, @Slapdad . Didnt even get so much as a pm about this before you came running over here with it like a spanked step child. It's ok, Slappy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cry foul if you want, but make no mistake about it, you were the one crying about someone even mentioning another board. Are you suggesting that you posting here to advertise your board is okay, but mentioning this board there is out of line? Come on. PM's are fine with me. If you'd rather do it that way, then maybe you should have done so before firing a shot across my bow. Make up your mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slappy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Would not say I am surprised. I ribbed his mods a little a few months ago and he turned into a little girl about it. You have to have thick skin to live here. I think he might be to sensitive for this type a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mug, there's an old post above where you did just that. I've also posted numerous times over the years on the Nevada board with links or references to this board (or the WAC/BW boards before that) and I've never heard that stance until now. There are also references to the MWC board on the other board from Hicks himself. So pardon me if I respectfully disagree with that position. If we all want to agree that we should pretend that the other boards don't exist, then I'm fine with that. So far, the posters here don't agree that it's bad form. So, let's go ahead and hash this out now and then put it to bed. First and foremost, I was really trying to gauge the temperature on this with the other posters on this board because I don't agree that it's in bad form at all, especially given the ties between the two boards. But, beyond that, I'd say that if encouraging someone to post on another board (btw, I knew fotographir wouldn't and it was a joke about previous posts where he doesn't like to post here more than anything), then I would say that it's also in bad form for a board owner/moderator and try to make it more personal. @WilliamHicks, no hard feeling on my part, but don't lecture me about etiquette in one post and throw insults in the next. The beauty of the MWC board is that it pretty lax and the real appeal of your board is that is the anti-BC board. But that exchange felt like one that would go down on BC. Don't be BC....there's already a BC and it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But encouraging people to come from, say, the ESPN boards to here? Nah Quote Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Not at all and I hope nobody thinks we are competing. One leads to another. In this case, a "new" member joined our forum and Slap told him to head over here, I read that as in over here instead of there. I didn't delete the post, I didn't go all forum nazi, I stated that we support the MWC board but telling a new member to go to another forum is poor forum etiquette. @Slapdad Yes, I mentioned broncofans on here a few times when it was a new forum and nobody knew about it, but I stopped around the start of football season because I didn't want to be a forum promotion whore. This is all I'm going to say about this matter on here. It should be discussed on the original forum, not litter this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told Mug a long time ago "watch out for that Slapdad kid, he's trouble". Now you're trying to create a great big rift between somebody and somebody else (sorry, I didn't follow close enough to get the names) and next thing you know we're going to be looking at Mug's North Korea ties, and we'll be excoriating vegans, and... Um, yeah, it's OK to recommend other boards for reference. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t bother looking it up, because the answer is “too late”. What a sham. And I’ll bet the results are fudged too. I’m not picking another team until next year!
