Put that issue in the parking lot…

But I like Rush’s “Vital Signs”.

“Everybody got to elevate from the norm.”

This is a religious thing in general, in my experience. Mostly older people, but not guaranteed, and not necessarily conservatives, either. Just people very deep into religion.

Edit: This has been covered elsewhere as well.

Quantum Leap.

I liked both the original and the remake a few years ago. Would have liked to see more of the remake. :(

That has to be some kind of special exception in IE6 that they were doing for debugging, and they failed to remove it. Crazy.

I can understand where the reputation comes from - spammers and trolls will do everything they can to shit all over everything. Maybe this isn’t the best way to address that problem, but I definitely understand the desire.

I run a forum for a very specific model of RV, and fucking spammers came in so often that I shut off registration and register everyone manually after they send me an email. It raises the bar just enough. Every now and then someone will whine about it, and I’m like, I hear you but this is much easier than cleaning the mess the spammers always leave.

Twitter was useful for getting updates about sports during games - for example, an update on whether a player who was injured might return to the game, or sometimes, more detail on something weird that happened (you’d be shocked at how poorly informed people in the arena are, compared to those watching on TV). A lot of this depends on who is feeding the info, though, and the more recent beat reporters for our favorite hockey team haven’t been as active on Twitter, so I closed my account after Musk bought it. Haven’t really missed it.

But even today, every article about something that happened in a game will embed a Twitter link for video. Like there’s no other possibility - just Twitter.

I’m not defending this, just saying that sports use it extremely heavily.

Yeah part of the issue here is that there are so few users that the more niche topics just don’t get a lot of traction.

For example, I help mod the Washington Capitals hockey team community, but mostly it’s just two of us talking. We recently decided to stop posting game day threads for every game, because there’d be one comment in them (usually me), if we were lucky - and we were the last NHL team community to end the game day threads; most stopped long ago. The overhead just wasn’t worth the reward. We decided we’d focus more on the general Hockey community, hoping to build that out a bit.

(We didn’t give up entirely - we posted a sticky thread that is for all games, and we’ll make a top level comment for each game in there, asking people to respond to that comment for that game. If they don’t, not a major issue. This way we still have the forum for the game discussions without having to worry about posting it every time.)
