Wtf is this planking nonsense? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Re: Wtf is this planking nonsense?

What's entertaining about laying down? Seriously?

If I post a picture of me naked on top of a chick, who's also naked, is that funny?

Maybe I've been gone too long and missed something but we're not at a point where simply just laying down on your chest is considered LMAO-worthy?

FWIW, I'm 25 so it ain't like I'm some old geezer sitting in my Rocker on my Front Porch with some straw in my mouth reminiscing about the 1920s-40s but damn, simply laying down is considered "OMG LOOOOOOL" worthy now? Sheesh

I don't find it entertaining either. Some are mildly chuckle worthy. But you made it seem like because of this (and other fads, which you have not mentioned) are why this society are lost.

Just like the society with the pet rocks. Just like the society with mullets. Just like the society with big 80's hair. Just like the society with the poodle skirts. Just like the society with the Charleston.

I know you aren't some geezer, but you sound like one. Every generation will think they're better than the previous because they can learn from them, and every generation will think they're smarter than the next because of the stupid **** the next does. This is going to be true. It was true in the 20's, it was true in the 50's, it was true in the 80's, it is true in the 2010's, and it will be true until the day we die.

OK I think it's OK for you and others to not think planking or any other fad is funny. But it's the anger and bitterness that really confuses me. It's the "oh this generation is done for" comments that really have me

Is it really that serious? You would really take it that far though? Lol.

How do you seriously and honestly correlate the two?

I find Gilbert and these pics at least semi entertaining, I feel like I shouldn't be looked down upon because of it. Oh well.

Another, stupid, stupid, stupid fad which unfortunately is getting it's 15 minutes of fame like the Homeless Guy in Cleveland got.

If not anger or bitterness, I'm still asking you how you came to this conclusion just because planking caught onto to Facebook and Twitter.

It honestly makes no sense at all to me, haha.
