    Influx of kids

    Is it normal this time of year for alot of kids to come on the boards into the game forums and argue over the games even before release?


    I mean, some guys I dont see contributing to the forums much at all besides to bicker over the games through release.

    Seriously, I feel for you mods sometimes. Its not even funny.

    We do the best that we can. Unfortunately, with Madden just releasing, and the NBA games on the horizon, this is probably the busiest time of the year for OS. Not to mention that there's also a new console releasing in November.

      Adding to what Sully said. We also encourage people to PM or notify a mod if there are things we miss. Obviously, we can't catch everything, so we really rely on our readers to help us out. The more help, the better we can all make OS.

          Greetings gentlemen, I couldn't help but take an interest in this thread and its topic and wanted to thank KDRE here for at least shedding light on this incident occuring somewhat with vigor and unwarranted post to put it mildy.

          I know you are all doing your best in maintaing the peace and harmony that this site brings with its unique style and various degrees of cyber/internet conversations and various topics, it is quite an experience at times but just recently has this issue arisen and with great regularity.

          I have for the most part tried to do my part and be respectable of every members rights and have conducted myself as a model member only to be the victim of these incidents for no know rational reason...but I am mindful that alot of them are younger members and do advise them of the TOS and just a general respect period as to get along and contrbute or just enjoy the site for however you precieve it to be as long as its in a positive light and causes no problem...you are welcomed here is what I reply.

          Again thank you gentlemen for your replys and again to KDRE reassuring me that this is a good site with positve people who do want to see the peace and harmonious atmosphere this site provdes for members with an interest such as myself and I assume KDRE since he did make this observation and brings it to the forums attention.

          Hopefully this post will be viewed in a positive light, its been a most trying week dealing with these board incidents and I see they're be handled by the staff with great care as to be fair and give chance and opportunity but still there are a few who do no adhere to such rules and display an out right disrespect it isn't nice having been a victim of such assualts and unwarranted attacks...I'm probably being over dramatic but you've seen my post and replys so I know you are aware of the sitution I'm just glad I'm not the only one seeing this.

            I'd just like to point out that some of these "kids" are in their forties.

            Immaturity is not restricted to the young, just to the "intelligence challenged".

              I try to be a mature member, even though I'm 17. Just showing that all "kids" aren't immature.

                  Exactly ... one of our great mods is NyJets, and he's only 11.

                  But a very mature 11.

                    11? Is that a misprint? Well, I'm a year older than him.

                      It was a joke.

                      And a hilarious one at that. :y4:

                        No doubt about it.
