David Mc, it is an obscene word that was edited by this site. It's a standard old time U of Wisconsin phrase, though not officially endorsed by the university administration.

I don't see any harm in having a forum for sports talk. So I guess it would be a good thing. I probably won't be on there much since I'm a Cleveland fan.
Seriously, the Browns had a 6 point lead with NO time remaining on the clock and still lost! ![]() Oh well, maybe next decade...oops...I mean next year. Jantz |

An O/T subforum would be a good idea IMHO, just keep religion and politics out of the mix....

It's an obscene word that I employ at least twenty-five times a day. I can work it in three times in a five word sentence. But it's a slippery slope as far as Net54 is concerned. Use it once and before you know it we're just another internet cesspool. Just sayin'.

Actually David, I consider you a good friend and member, but I am the one that edited it. We can't have the F bomb flying around, regardless of how it's used or where it's used elsewhere. We have some very young audience on our board. It can be a phrase anywhere else (I use it under my breath, often) but please, not on this board. thanks much

BTW, we are getting a fresh back up on our forum (never hurts) so if I hit the wrong button, and we go into outer space, we will be able to be back up and running in no time. Once that is done, hopefully today, I will fiddle around a little and go ahead and make a forum for OT and one for Sports talk. I think a little bit of OT on the main board is a good thing so don't want to ever stop that totally. To me, it keeps things a bit more lively. Also, I doubt we will have too many rules in the OT area....so I guess politics and religion can be discussed? Once we make those forums we can chat and see what most folks want. Unless I see, or hear something different, I am leaning towards doing/trying these areas.....

Why would anyone want to discuss religion on Net54?

I am a little curious of anyone's thoughts that voted against trying this section? I always like to hear the other side of the story to make a more informed decision. Would anyone that voted "no" like to chime in as to why? I am sure there might be some good reasons and would like to hear them. The only thing I can imagine is that it could take away from the main board but maybe (probably) I am not thinking of everything. Anyone?
BTW, as I said in the initial post, this section certainly isn't about "me" wanting it as I don't keep up with most current sports too much. I am in the vast minority but I just don't care to keep up with them. I watch them a little but that's about it. My wife is an avid sports fan though and keeps up with a lot of them. Quite honestly I could care less about most current major league sports.... but that is just me.

Couldn't one sell a rookie card of Sandy Koufax without feeling the need to quote passages from the Old Testament?

I'm just a long time lurker but I voted no. My reason is that anytime over the last 12 years or so that I've been active on the internet that I've seen a good topic-specific message board like this one start to go down that off-topic path, it ends up tearing the board apart. People can be very intense about their sports and politics. There are plenty of message boards for that stuff, and I think that the current system of only having the occasional off-topic thread here on the main board is a good way to keep the sports/political emotions in check.
Even though I only lurk, I love this message board and would hate to see it go downhill. Last edited by JohnBrownsElbow; 11-24-2009 at 10:23 AM. Reason: I can't spell. |

Even Legendary did it in their just closed auction. Pages 354 and 355 specialized in that sub-category. I find it insulting to collectors. |

Leon, you'll be happy to know the other UW saying is "Go Badgers." I was indoctrinated young, as one of the first stuffed toys given to me as a toddler was a Bucky Badger. And, yes, I've heard my mother and sister say the other saying.
p.s., for those who missed it, Leon jokingly 'bleeped' over 'Badgers' in 'Go Badgers.' I thought it was my error and went back and fixed it. Last edited by drc; 11-24-2009 at 04:01 PM. |
