It shouldn't be a place that you're updating 10 to 20 times a day, or just using as a place to chat with friends, or organizing a league that would be a private league except that it's not private and is being jammed into your eyeballs



Aw man, this is all pointing to me hugh?


That specifically, at least. I tried to actually read your diary at some point and I just don't have the patience to do so any more. If you're enjoying it, more power to you - although I am of course the living embodiment of awesomeness and supreme modesty, it's not your job to cater to my tastes. I am just adding my opinion without having had time to marinate it in honey and butterfly kisses.

There is a reason I don't visit the USA forums as much as I used to, and it's because of these newspapers or whatever they are. Honestly, if they were interesting or funny I would read them, but most of them are just updates on a team. If I wanted to follow your team I could look on your team page for stats, results, etc. Another thing that I don't like is that there is a place for these things on the offsite, they can easily be put there and not clogging up the main forum here.

Oh well............................................then it is. sorry. I should've started that league thread earlier. I'm just bored this summer. It's time for me to get into the real world, not the computer world............but thanks for the honesty, +1.

I will be honest here, I would probably be able to read these, if:

1) They were funny or interesting.
If some type of decent humor was thrown in every now and again then I could manage. Or if interesting topics were brought up, that provoked some type of thought and ended up in a mini friendly debate or something. Something! Right now the going ons of teams in mostly bot filled leagues are not interesting to me whatsoever.

2) They didn't look as if it was written by a 5 year old. A very excited 5 year old.
Not trying to be mean , but random bolded words in all caps, with dozens of periods and exclamation marks annoys the living daylights out of me. It might just be me though.

Right now, all these threads seem to consist of is, arguments over spelling mistakes, some mock-private league discussion and people trying to make jokes out of anything to get balls.

It is interesting new users which is aways good and I'm not telling people to stop, the USA Offsite has a spot for these newspapers where the only people who are going to read it and reply are people who are going to have something to add and some advice to give.

What would I know though, I'm just a Canadian!

I don't know why but the mock-private league thing seems funny to me. I just don't know. I'm laughing out of my chair.....just don't know why. Maybe cause I'm a little joyed up. IDK

I agree with what hrudey, adchester, and Bballin said. It gets really annoying when I come onto the forums and see like 20 posts in the team diaries everyday. If you like doing it, you might want to go to the Offsite for that, where some of us can give you some advice for your team. Otherwise, it seems like I will have to keep clicking the orange arrow to the most recent post of your thread. Something about seeing unread messages in my forum page bother me for some reason.

Has the Denver Daily been closed, Like i posted/requested awhile ago? I completely moved mine to offsite., as far as I am concerned it can be closed, and deleted. I had a great abortion joke for this.... but don't know if it's appropriate, so, Potato.

K I'll limit myself to five posts a day right here, but really, how come the offaite is like, ghost at times??? At times there's only like, 6 people out there??? It's crazy! Not like here, there's always something going on in these forums. But I'll limit myself.

AND it struggles to even get to 10 people at once, and 10 is very few to me. We came close, but I only seen it broken when this site was down.

Let me try to get some of my friends to sign up for it...........to BB Mail! (right after my game.)

But you are more likely to get good advice from there, than in here. Right now, there are 10 people online in the Offsite.
