Is this board dead?

[Noop]

Is there some secret board I don't know about? I might have to go check out one of those online leagues for the rest of our members. Weird Stuff seeing this board so empty so to speak.

[Klinglerware]

People have been having trouble getting on to this board (I just get a pop up ad from time to time). That could explain it...

[gottimd]

Maybe its because Autumn is about to begin, everyone is getting prepared?

[Raiders Army]

Technically the board was never alive. I assume that most people who post on the board are actually alive...probably with the exception of the machine otherwise known as QuikSand.

[Noop]

I am not sure about that because the posting has almost slowed to a crawl around these parts.

[hukarez]

Anytime there's a Circuit City ad displayed (especially the website itself), my Firefox won't display the rest of the page. It's happened to me a couple of times today on this board.

I've had a bitch of a time getting here as well.

Yellow skin, people. Yellow Skin!

You love asians dont you?

You are welcome to take a look at the eNFL. We are missing a few owners and the new season start today. :cool:

May I suggest using a skin that doesn't display ads? I use Firefox and haven't had any issues getting on the board or having it display properly. It's been slow at various points in the past (though not recently). I use the Solecismic Yellow skin which has no ads.

[cthomer5000]

Yellow Skin = no ads = smooth sailing.

I've made the switch.

I use yellow as well.

Day at the Office = no ads = smooth sailing.
Fixed.

[Icy]

I'm going to switch now, maybe it should be a sticky as using the standard design i get just the top banner and not the board itself 90% of times.

[SackAttack]

No ads in Firefox on the Sideline skin for me.

[Icy]

Ups the yellow one is so ugly.

How DARE you!

EJECT HIM!!! :mad:

OMG! Kodos and I agree on something!!!

To answer Noop's original question:

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=42824

SI

[Noop]

I have been on yellow so maybe that is why i never have a problem logging on.

[Ksyrup]

Me, too. For once, I haven't noticed a problem at all.

[Anthony]

i've noticed this place not being all that interesting much anymore. you gotta figure many people are posting in the werewolf threads (which i avoid like girls avoiding cthomer). might just be this place ain't much to write home about unless someone's wife is writing religious/political posts and her husband is going on a crusade to clear her good name.

think about it, in the past we've had Hornsmaniac, the wigs, various trolls du jour, myself, and any hot topic (Hurricanes, pro athletes committing crimes, latest white girl missing, Schiavo, etc.). that's plenty of stuff to entice us, lots of ammo for drama. not so much the past week or so.

but generally, the quality of the threads are weak. not a knock on anyone in particular, just stating my opinion. there is a considerable less amount of topics that i'm interested in here nowadays. i refuse to be like jeeber and masturpost, i only post when i got something to say. less interesting threads=less of a desire to post.

And how do we fix this for IE? It happens to me as well in IE (though just the last few days)...

The yellow skin seems to not to have this problem, you cna define the skin you want in your board profile, in the options menu.

Btw, i'm getting used to the yellow skin, now it doesn't look as ugly as at first.

What? Are you saying there is a giant mutant squirrel gathering the nuts off this board and hoarding them to feast on during the course of another long, cold, desolate winter?

Oh and yellow is ugly like Martha Plimpton.

Sideline Green rules, baby!!!

[timmynausea]

I made the switch. Yellow 4 life.

[Buccaneer]

I saw the yellow skin when it was first made it I still say it's the ugliest bulletin board skin I have ever seen to this day.

[MJ4H]

HABITUE

(the best skin -- dont know how you people use anything else)

[Danny]

Wow, I've been using the yellow skin the whole time, I quite like it.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

Of course the board is dead...I'm not posting here much anymore. I have a new man in my life, taking up all of my free time. :D

I will agree that I have found less interesting stuff here recently, but I've noticed in the past that, for me, the board will go in cycles where for a couple months there is not much that interests me going on. This must be one of those times.

[sachmo71]

I am not sure about that because the posting has almost slowed to a crawl around these parts.


Perhaps we just need more pee-pee and poo-poo humor?

[cuervo72]

I've always used the yellow skin.


(though if I do say so myself, the FOBL forums have MUCH more appealing skins that uh, somebody here made)

And Jeeber, *surely* you could find better than Tia Carrere...

The hubris involved in this post is off the chart :D

[Anthony]

to say i've provided at lot of entertainment here would be an understatement.:)

[RebelMan]

Agreed with some of the peeps above. The yellow forum skin is quite nice.

[ThunderingHERD]

I saw this thread earlier today and switched to the yellow skin for the lack of ads/loading fuckups.

I still feel like I'm cheating on this board with some other board, though.

[ThunderingHERD]

And I just bothered to read the rest of the thread...

Of course the board is dead...I'm not posting here much anymore. I have a new man in my life, taking up all of my free time.

SHHHHHHH!! I thought this whole deal was a secret.... he doesn't know it's mine, does he?

Are we still on for tommorow?

[Vince]

When I got here, the default was Solecismic Yellow. By the time I figured out (or we were allowed to...not sure if we had skin options back then) I could change it, I was too used to the Yellow to change to anything else.

[Subby]

All the old school grizzled bitches should be on sideline green, yo.

A good banning will get things moving. Or a fisting thread.

[wade moore]

Agreed.

There it is! Now someone say something about doing it in the butt, and we'll be back to normal!

Preferably, a christian who's trying really hard to be good!

[rkmsuf]

The ghost of Franklinoble reccomends you do it in the butt.

[Anthony]

i remember Franklinoble. he used to be a fun guy.

I love the yellow skin. This place isn't FOFC to me anymore if I'm using another skin.

[rkmsuf]

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

[JeeberD]

Heh, you and Arlie were in a dream I had the other night. I don't remember how it started but I just remember seeing you and giving you a hug like we were old friends. Then I introduced you to my fiancee' and told her that you were the lady who just had a baby. Weird stuff I dream about...



And Jeeber, *surely* you could find better than Tia Carrere...

*shurg*

She's the first one who popped into my head. Who else should I have chosen?

[cuervo72]

Hmm...I guess if you want to keep it board safe, that makes things tougher...ok, carry on.

That poor woman.

For a split second I was thinking mrskippy was involved somehow. Phew.

[Daimyo]

Sideline Green is #1. All other skins are 2nd or lower.

[dawgfan]

I didn't like that color scheme at the time either, and especially not after we originally switched to Gamespy and got used to the "Solecismic Yellow". That green is just really hard on the eyes...
