hrm. Strange since I saw that the OT forum is Private when I wasn't signed in.

IDK, but this is a total pain in the ass.

I usually only log in to post. Now it seems I have to log in all the time.

Yeah, I've gotten to the point where a lurk once in awhile and log in even less. Not sure how often I'll be coming back here if I can't lurk. Just logged in to say that.

It certainly makes browsing from work a bit difficult.

So seriously though, anyone in the know want to chime in here? Sometimes it seems like there's a concerted effort to accelerate this board's inevitable demise.

Maybe it was some default-change by OS or something and the mods aren't aware of it/able to do anything about it guys. We don't know yet.

Weird. Then again when I'm not home I use Tapatalk so wouldn't notice. I will note that Tapatalk just stopped having some errors with this forum, so maybe something is going on under the hood...

there isn't enough going on about FOF (other than the card game no one cares about...oops did i say that out loud?) to come here, Off Topic is reallt where its at. and if i have to go through a few extra steps to come here and view Off Topic then i have to start asking myself is this really worth the trouble? i like to take the pulse of the board quickly during work on my phone, i don't have time to go through the whole log in process. this is lame and should change. like quickly.

Guests are usually the only people who are ever "viewing" a thread that I start. I've lost my limited audience!

I think I've intentionally logged out here maybe 3 times in a decade. WTH is with you people, you mean you actually log out & back in routinely?

My computer at work resets the Internet so I would have to login every time. I usually login just to post. Same with my iPhone it seems to lose my cookies like every five days or so. Not sure it is as big of a deal as people are making (unless I am unaware of something) but it is annoying. |

its not so much about being annoying, its just the main draw of this place used to be about FOF, but that was waaaay back. since we've all moved on from FOF except the same 4 or so people who are in each other's leagues its just a matter of taking the time to formally log in as opposed to just getting the content you want anonymously. do i want to go through the trouble of logging in everytime i wanna read the Walking Dead thread? good conversation, but i could take it or leave it. why do i have to log in for that stuff? i don't like the way this community is run, by being a lurker it allows me to be on the outside looking in and makes me feel like all the wacky decisions that get made here don't affect me since i'm not participating. when i formally have to log in it makes me feel like i'm trying to be part of the crowd here which isn't the case. i like being anonymous.

The only change for me is that I probably won't check the site on my phone as often, I'm just curious what the upside is.....Obviously they want more people logged into the forum, I guess that's an advertising thing?

I don't think 93 people logged in instead of 67 is going to make much of a difference.

Honestly putting more thought into this it makes no sense. It's completely counter to what Operation Sports would want the admins of this site to do because it will kill page views. Those people that normally lurk will not login or not create accounts, which will reduce the amount of page views, in turn that will lower the value of the site to Operation Sports because it will not generate as much revenue as they are accustomed to...
I'm just going to assume someone made a mistake, since hiding the most active forum on your message board with the most conversation and most page views is basically shooting yourself in the foot.

It is kind of amusing that so many mod decisions here are about trying to help people visit the board from work, and then there's this change which makes it more difficult to post from work.

This is the first stage of a coup by the members of the Cool Images thread. Workers-from-home and laxly-supervised workers unite!

The sky is certainly not falling but after 48 hours it'd be nice if someone in the know said something about whether this is permanent or what's the what with what's going on.

I'm sure he was more interesting prior to being banned and starting that new account. Edit: I think the change is dumb, as is putting 40-year old people in "time out", but the one upside is that this thread contains lurkers threatening not to lurk anymore, which is fun.

Actually, I asked Ben about this today. He was otherwise pretty occupied (trying to juggle work and his hospitalized mother), but indicated that this was a temporary solution for dealing with some recently banned asshats (paraphrasing). Seems they lurk looking for other instances of "bad" behavior, and then bitch at him for not banning those users as well. This is why we can't have nice things.
Once the dicks in question finally give up, we can go back to normal. At least, that's how I understood things.

That's probably the main asshat -- I'm not really up on who all the banned users are, but was aware of that one.
