Well it says he got here in February 2005......Originally posted by Programmed2Kill
it's been getting better, but threads are far too quick to turn into flame wars. Especially if that thread contains the words "Kobe" and "Bryant"-Rocky Balboa"Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment

Re: Bad Rep????
I like to think of it as the official "gas can" forum of OSFavorite Teams:
CFB: Ohio State Buckeyes
NFL: San Francisco 49ers
NBA: Los Angeles Lakers
MLB: San Francisco GiantsComment

Re: Bad Rep????
I don't think this forum is outright bad. It just attracts a lot of imature and younger posters. There's some great conversation and passion within this forum but the age factor tends to bring things down a notch or two.
At least it has gotten better so that's a positive sign.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Bad Rep????
Because as soon as non-regulars to the forum see one bad post or one bad thread,they make it out as if it were armagedon or the apocalypse...I haven't seen a bad thread or really moronic post since...Crunk and NBA Superstar have been on hiatus.Comment

Re: Bad Rep????
Lots of posters have been banned/put on timeout or are on hibernation because Kobe Bryant isn't playing.Just wait till Arsenal moves into Emirates Stadium.Comment

Re: Bad Rep????
without the official Kobe "first year not playing in MAY/JUNE, MY LIFE IS OVER" Bryant thread, this place would be a zoo and would require help from the FBI to clear up all the trouble.
with that said, i agree with nkhera1. THank god for the lakers not making the PO'sComment

Re: Bad Rep????
The reason why are that there are in-mature "fan-boys" posting sometimes who couldn't tell the difference between Dominique Wilkins and Harold Minor.
However though it has been pretty good lately which is a huge bounce for this forum.XBOX 360 is my GodComment

Re: Bad Rep????
If you guys want to see some serious immaturity go on over to Sportsline's forums. For those of you that have been there, you know what I mean. I haven't been here that long and I'll admit I've been blasted a few times for speaking a little frankly, but overall I'd say this is the best group of sports forums I've ever joined.

1.Pearl Jam
2.Sonic Youth
3.Minutemen(and Mike Watt's later stuff after Boon died)
4.Meat Puppets
5.The Pixies
There's a ton of others and although these guys are nothing new, they beat the **** out of 95% of the bull**** today.(Nickelback is the ****ing antichrist)Comment
