Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

so where should we discuss movies, music, tv, etc?

At an entertainment message board.

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

LOL.... I feel like Chris Rock in the movie "Boomerang" when Eddie Murphy gets played by Robin Givens.... "Damn... First the Fat Boys break up, now this...."

First the Babe Forum is taken out (that was for good reasons, as I saw the pic that did it in), now this...

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

if this is how problems get dealt with, then the whole forum will be gone soon i'd assume

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

Wow. I certainly wouldn't have donated a couple weeks ago if I knew this would be happening. Absolutely horrible decision. What's the point in even coming here if the board I posted on primarily up and disappears? Oh well, looks like I just got screwed out of $20.

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

I'm well aware that this won't be a poplular decision, however, as Operation Sports continues to grow, so do the problems associated with the EE forum. The majority of the topics that are deemed questionable ( race, religion, politics, drugs, etc.), all originate in the EE forum.

The removal of the EE forum may be temporary, it may be permanent. At this time, we are still undecided.

Well done. An extreme solution, but it makes a lot of sense.

Can I ask why you donated to a sports videogame board when you wish to discuss neither sports nor videogames?

I don't have a problem discussing sports or videogames, I am quite fond of both. And the reason I donated was because OS is a message board that I quite enjoy -- and because my username sucked. However, with the board I was most fond of being taken down, I'm left reconsidering why I wasted my money donating in the first place. It will be very hard for me to justify spending $20 on a board where I will now only be making a handful of posts a week, if that.

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

Personally, I think this is a stupid decision. Then again, I followed the TOS yet I'm getting "punished" so to speak.

That was the main forum I posted in.

I really do not understand this, I'm sure a lot of people would get bored of talking nonstop sports/videogames. The EE forum was different, that's why it was EASILY the most frequented forum.

Donated $40 and this happens? This is so fascist-esque. =/

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

Wow....I sure didn't notice a heavy influx of inappropriate material that would have led to this decision. All this means is that people will post off-topic material in the other forums, or just not come here as much. Both net losses, imho.

But as others have noted, it ain't our site to run....

because he enjoyed talking with the people here about other stuff?

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

and the boot camp continues....

yall might as well get rid of the non-sports and OS neirborhood while you're at it since they're not associated with sports as well.

Wait..before you say it....you're already considering it right?

This is ridiculous, no other way of putting it.

People came here at different times in their lives(2-3 years ago) when videogames were a big deal to them, but grew out of that. Yet they still managed to find a group of people with discussions that they enjoyed, and that became the biggest draw. That is my story anyway.

If I was coming here for the sports and games only I would have stopped a couple of years ago.

Oh well, thanks for running this site, it had a great run for me, hopefully it keeps being a popular place for sports and sports videogame discussions.

Re: Everything Else Forum Removed

Key word to this site's name... Operation Sports

If this is the case, shouldn't this same fate apply to the NON-Sports gaming and OS Neighborhood forums as well. If this truly is supposed to be a "Strictly Sports Discussion" Site?!
