General Discussion Thread - 01/12/2010

[Lunkwill Fook]

I'm thinking the best way we can sort of take what we had in the old format and bring it into the new is to have a new general discussion thread each day in this folder. This is where, I think, we can have our stream of consciousness posts and ongoing unfocused discussion. We'll just generate a new one each day (I don't care who does it. First poster, I assume). We can do this for the rest of Metsgeek's existence or until we find ourselves embracing the multi-threaded nature of the NewGeek. What say ye?

[Athena]

Sounds like a good plan. And one of the moderators can attach a sticky to it every day?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Yeah, that's what I just did. Anyone can create the thread and then me, Dep, Alex, or Eric can sticky it easily enough. I don't know if there's a way to automatically generate one every morning.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Uh...what did you do to make it all sticky?

[Dep]

haha, i dont wanna post in a sticky thread! ewwwwww

if we end up using the general forum for the daily threads, then the link dump forum may go away...i dont think we're using the automated link grabber anymore.

[Lunkwill Fook]

haha, i dont wanna post in a sticky thread! ewwwwww

if we end up using the general forum for the daily threads, then the link dump forum may go away...i dont think we're using the automated link grabber anymore.

That's true. Well, I put a poll in the linkdump to see what people thought. Obviously, it's easy enough to make the daily posting thread in there.

[Dep]

honestly, i would consider keeping the daily convo in the link dumps for the short-term...this may be a little too much change, too fast.

i think we need to help ease ppl into the transition and they're used to the link dumps being the hangout

but whatever, i'm open to anything.

sucks all my bosses are here today, i gotta be careful. they're out the rest of the week though w00t w00t

Tell everyone to suck it up and go cold turkey. Trade one addiction for another.

The more you guys talk about it, the more I think you're right. I think I can take this entire thread and move it into the linkdump section.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Over here, dudes!

[peejay]

i don't know if it is possible, but a sidebar would be nice to keep track of the action in different forums. it is pretty easy to get locked into whichever forum you are in by simply refreshing. not so easy to see new topics created etc.

sidebar!

there IS a sidebar from the home page...but it doesnt appear when you're in the forums

[Lunkwill Fook]

Dunno if that's possible. I have a feeling that's an Eric/Alex question.

[Ed in Westchester]

Where we at now?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Where we at now?

Your mom.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Yup, the non-Mets Sports thread is going along just as well as expected.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Did you expect something different?

[Squadron Nye]

I fear change

[Squadron Nye]

someone tell me it's going to be ok

[Lunkwill Fook]

someone tell me it's going to be ok

No. BURN!

[Squadron Nye]

I think we should simplify and consolidate the forums. The community is just not that big (yet) to stratify it so much

[Dep]

someone tell me it's going to be ok

its not, not at all.

[Lunkwill Fook]

I think we should simplify and consolidate the forums. The community is just not that big (yet) to stratify it so much

Well, the idea is to try to get the community to expand at some point. But, yeah, that's why I'm trying to create a discussion forum each day to make everything seem a bit smaller while we attempt to adjust.

[Ed in Westchester]

I likey so far.

gonna take some time to really get used to it.

[Squadron Nye]

wasn't the beauty of the old geek having a less moderated discussion forum? A free-for-all perhaps?

[Lunkwill Fook]

The idea of a general discussion thread is also helpful for the many Geeks that tend to come in via Blackberry, I think. Hunting for the right forum is a pain in the ass on those things.

[Ed in Westchester]

So how do I add a "sig" oh wise ones?

[Lunkwill Fook]

wasn't the beauty of the old geek having a less moderated discussion forum? A free-for-all perhaps?

I agree. Again why I think the general Discussion thread is important. It allows us to keep this freeform approach to discussion.

[Ed in Westchester]

I fear my new overlords.

[Squadron Nye]

Which caps will they wear into the Hall?
By Rob Neyer
ESPN.com

Hey, if we can wonder who will be elected to the Hall of Fame in 2013, why not wonder about the logos on their caps? The Hardball Times' Pat Andriola starts with Mike Piazza. After running through the numbers, Andriola's big finish:


Although he played better ball as a Dodger, he played longer while on the Mets, and exposed himself to the playoffs and the New York media, ultimately cementing himself as part of the franchise. Again, I admit personal bias, but if I had to guess, I'd say Mike goes into the Hall of Fame in 2012 with a NY cap on his head.



I agree that Piazza should go into the Hall of Fame as a Met. But it's close enough that his input might play a role, and I don't have any idea which way he's leaning. I'm also not so sure he'll be elected in 2012. Or rather, 2013.

Piazza last played in 2007, so he's not Hall-eligible until 2013. Also eligible in 2013: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Craig Biggio, Curt Schilling, and Sammy Sosa. Bonds, Clemens, and Sosa all will lose some votes because of the drug questions but isn't it possible that Piazza will, too? At least one voter has thrown out some wild accusations, and there's no telling what else might be thrown out between now and 2013.

Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. Yes, a Mets logo would seem to be in order if and when Piazza is elected.

What about some other top candidates and their plaque-caps?

Clemens won 193 games (including postseason) with the Red Sox, 84 with the Yankees, 42 with the Astros, and 41 with the Blue Jays. He won three Cy Youngs with the Red Sox, two with the Jays, and one apiece with the Yankees and Astros.


Look who it is???? I guess having an annoying disposition and lack of logic gets you places in blogdom

[Dep]

LOL. Pat is everywhere

see now, in the future....and we got no problem with posting shit in the general chat thread

but we're really really going to encourage ppl to at least double it-up and post it in a dedicated thead, if you deem the news/article important enough ( this one aint most likely lol)

same forum, just new threads.

I know it'll be a little weird in the short-term, but over the long-run i think we'll see real benefit from it.

conversations will be able to last for days/weeks/forever and not be lost in the nonsense that is our general chat.

[Squadron Nye]

I WANNA YELL SOMETIMES

BLOW ME WHERE THE PAMPERS IS..

bah I think I don't get yelling privilege

[Squadron Nye]

hmm that's weird, I guess I've passed some threshold

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Jovanowski suspended 2 games for elbowing Tavares.

He cause any damage? If not, how does an elbow that causes a concussion only merit a one game longer suspension.

[Squadron Nye]

Why don't they just cruise the off-topic part and bring it into the fold here?

[Ed in Westchester]

hmm that's weird, I guess I've passed some threshold

not really

[Lunkwill Fook]

Can you show me where the campus is?

[Ed in Westchester]

No clue. I don't think JT will miss any time.

Collie Campbell is a moron. The suspension guidelines are pulled outta his ass.

[Ed in Westchester]

oooh, my sig works.

I feel so, so...

I don't know.

[Lunkwill Fook]

JT needs a day off anyway. Dude looks tired.

[Lunkwill Fook]

By the way, I think this is hilarious.

[Ed in Westchester]

Now I gotta find an avatar, lest the asst to the HNIC get angwy with me.

[Dep]

LMAO@ ED's sig! that's awesome

HAGGIS?!?!?!!

ahhhhh - embedding images FTMFW!!!! it will add so much fun to our threads.

you can already clean up this forum if you want. you can kill all those other threads if you want. focus ppl on this one for now.

and honestly those other threads dont belong here

[Ed in Westchester]

oooh, I gotta check this out on my bb

[Lunkwill Fook]

Are you saying that instead of being bored, I should be productive?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Ahhh, cool. Eric changed the name of the thread to something more descriptive.

hahah Nah, I'm not a big power stick kind of guy, really. Just want to use the power I have to get the place running again. I moved most of the threads away so it's more obvious that this is where people should be coming.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Yeah, I did my profile image straight off my computer and had no problems at all.

[Squadron Nye]

hey, at least for the first few weeks, why don't you restrict the access to create threads in the general discussion forum and have a sticky for each day? I realize we want to move on and expand the community but it would be an obvious way for people who dont come here that often to integrate into the new geek

I understand that but i don't think it'll be necessary to restrict any access. I think having the forum at the top and named each day and stickied should be enough.

agree storky. I can't stress enough you need to have some continuity so the semi-regular posters won't be put off and can find the awesome characters like me. This way you create a good user base of which to build on

The BB version is a tad difficult.

could just be that "edge" is the suxxors

[Storkinator]

So anyone else having issues with attempting to upload an avatar? I got a simple, small image on my desktop. Smaller than what the maximum requirement is and saved as a jpg. But it's not allowing me to upload. Tried two times. No go. Anyone else?

there is a distinction between profile picture and avatar. also, needed to save image to desktop and upload.

Go to your settings, and then look down on the left side for Forum Settings. Towards the bottom of that page, you can tell it how many to display.

Go up top to "settings" on the upper right side...then find "forum settings" in the menu bar on the left

maybe he wants to be #1!!!

Probably an automatic setting on the forum that reverts all full caps posts. I don't think we can change that.

When he signed on, there was a minimum of three characters for your sign-in name. Eric fixed it, though. Now PJ and DL can go back to their old names, I think.

I thought it fixed the minimum globally. But maybe I misunderstood.

[peejay]

Why did DL change his name?

when he and i signed up it had a minimum setting of 3 characters for usernames. thus pj became peejay

[Lunkwill Fook]

I thought it fixed the minimum globally. But maybe I misunderstood.

No, I mean editing usernames. I don't think you can edit your own username.

[Squadron Nye]

No, I mean editing usernames. I don't think you can edit your own username.

Yeah that would be chaos in a forum like this

[Dep]

Question: Should I tell my friend at metsblog to announce the new geek on there?

LOL. i vote no

[PHL]

Hi PHL!! Welcome home!

Hi Athena! It's good to be back.

[Athena]

I don't think you can edit your own username.

Oh. I get it. Too bad.

[Squadron Nye]

you should change yours back. It feels like a golden shower threat

[Lunkwill Fook]

Yeah, I just tried and I can't change usernames. Eric and Alex probably can though if pj and DL ask them to.

[Athena]

LOL. i vote no

I vote no, too. Maybe when things are more established. But I would prefer some time to get our house in order.

[Dep]

I'll try to change his name

might need an admin though

[peejay]

Oh. I get it. Too bad.

if you wanted to be really cruel you could take this opportunity to steal certain regular's handles and then impersonate them for ever. that is wrong, though.

[Squadron Nye]

Okalie Dokalie I'll stand down

[Squadron Nye]

I was a little nervous someone may have taken my handle

[Lunkwill Fook]

How do you, in fact, know that I am "Lunkwill Fook"?

[peejay]

i am ok with the longer handle. i am sure they have better things to do wit their lives.

[Dep]

yea, i dont think i can do it.

i can see your name on my mod page, but i cant edit it.

i'll put it on the list

[Squadron Nye]

How do you, in fact, know that I am "Lunkwill Fook"?

your girlish disposition comes through the forum it's so strong

[Ed in Westchester]

edit function FTW!

: plans to insult people and then go back and change text when they object:

Someone please make sure Ramon gets a training class in this, so he won't reports when he f's up the blockquotes.

[Dep]

LOL. i only want to kill AUTOMATIC smilies, right? i still like the ability to add smilies in some regard, right?

i love you can see the # of lurkers. 30 = lots

The part where I can't use the money to buy Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3.

It's not about power. It's about sheer laziness.

with advanced posting you can turn the smilies off :P

[Ed in Westchester]

Wall Street firms aren't the only banks that had a banner year. The Federal Reserve made record profits in 2009, as its unconventional efforts to prop up the economy created a windfall for the government.

The Fed will return about $45 billion to the U.S. Treasury for 2009, according to calculations by The Washington Post based on public documents. That reflects the highest earnings in the 96-year history of the central bank. The Fed, unlike most government agencies, funds itself from its own operations and returns its profits to the Treasury.

Yeah, me and Lorraine suddenly got into rewatching it after watching a marathon on New Year's Day. We're up to season three at this point.

[Ed in Westchester]

I already found it, just before I saw your post. Thanks

[Dep]

Yeah, we hadn't started watching it again at that point. Maybe I'll swing by eventually, you know, on my way to work.

Yes pls, kill the automatic smiles. It's odd to think we've always had lurkers perusing the dump.. this just confirms it
