  This, but mainly by one guy. Anyway, congrats and good luck, Roller, you'll be good at this...you've got some pretty good posters on this site.

  How may we, as honorable members of this wonderful site, help it grow?
  
  I'd like to hear the Admins new mission statement.

  Tiernan only messes with the Browns threads, right? He is nothing more than an irritating fly. Easily ignored....

  I'm interested in your take on posters that seem to have multiple accounts that they use to just troll threads and start shit depending on whatever viewpoint is most controversial on any given thread. That shit needs to stop.
  
  Like other people have said. The way people disagree with each other here is beyond childish. Case in point to both of my gripes would be pretty much everything Monty Brunswick has ever posted.

  Agreed. The duplicate accounts are pretty childish.

  Wrong.

  Voting on Mods is huge, hell even asking for suggestions from those that run post on the site is a huge step in the right direction. Over modding has almost killed this site, much more so than Iqqy or buttwedge. I just lol at their stupidty and move on. QQ4F single handedly drove off numerous great posters. Other than that, we need more posters.

  As far as Iggy, the Tiernan comment is a valid point. How anyone could side with his opinions does tend to give the impression of a troll.
  
  Although I will say that Iggy has been spot on about Farmer/Pettine from the start. He just comes across as a ledge jumper is certain cases.

  The dude that calls me a "pothead" and my brother a "fatass" is going to whine about personal attacks[emoji23][emoji23]
  
  Quit being so defensive and it won't bother you. It's a message board. If you honestly feel that much pain from random insults, then something is wrong with you. Like that nailed it. It's like giving your friends shit. Either you can take it or you can act like a little bitch.
  
  As far as the site, if you don't get new members, the moderation doesn't matter. We have a set amount of people here that have been here forever. With no new members, we won't change. Plain and simple.

  I've never called your brother a fatass. I've seen other people call him a fatass but not me. Unless something's changed with your brother, I thought he was a skinny dude.
  
  And gee, wonder why I would've called you a "pothead?" Maybe a personal attack that came from you first? Like the numerous times you've called me "roid boy" and the like? It's not like you weren't "advertising" there for a while that you liked to frequently partake.
  
  If you look at my posting history, I only get "childish" when provoked by some idiot first. I don't just randomly start taking potshots at people for no reason like some. I'm here, for the most part, to talk sports, not to have to deal with assholes.

We always move on, because at the end of the day we are all supporting one cause and that is to see a title in Cleveland.
  
  Also, completely disagree with your take on IQQY. His act is 100% troll. Even if something is going well, he sets it up so he can cry/troll about something else. We all (well most of us) have caught on to the pattern. Tell me one time iqqy got excited off a win or play? Last year when things were going well for the Browns he was nowhere to be found. Whenever they lost and things were starting to go south he started to post a lot more. Same with the cavs. Things weren't going well, he was very active. Things going well... nowhere to be found. If that is not enough to convince you he is a troll, just consider the fact he piggys off tiernan any chance he can get. If that doesn't convince you he is a troll, I don't know what to tell you.

  Yeah, as far as Iggy goes, if he was simply a really negative fan, I wouldn't see the "troll" nature given to him. Hell, all you have to do is read a Steelers game thread and Ironman goes on weekly Iggy-like tirades based on his views of the play-calling. Some people may not necessarily like regularly reading others' "glass-half-empty (at most)" complaints, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that.
  
  Now, when you add in the constant over-the-top dramatic nature of the postings, warning signs start to come up. And when he speaks of a definite troll (Tiernan) with a sort of hero-worship tone despite the fact that Tiernan does nothing but bash and mock the teams he allegedly supports and the fanbases to which he allegedly belongs, it's hard to look at him as anything other than a troll who tries to be more subtle about trolling. Or at the VERY LEAST, a negative fan who realized that being that negative got under others' skins, so he blew it up into a pure act in order to troll people who disagree with him (sort of a Bizarro World version of Sleeper on OSU thread and his "best team ever, will beat everyone else by 40+ and you can take it to the bank or free iPads!" stuff). Especially when you realize that no matter what sports-related thing he's talking about, it's simply to be negative and miserable about it.

  My two cents: using more than one name is bull shit.

  Haha you've 100% called me fat before.

  Wrong. You have me confused with somebody else. I've seen your pictures before and know you're not fat.

  Youve called me skinny fat before..unless i'm thinking of COA but i remember you jumped on that bandwagon.
  
  Even if you did, I wouldn't care. It's funny.

  ...This site will never grow with just the few number of posters on here trashing each other daily. The OC needs to get more people interested on posting about sports since many on here fled JJ when they started to charge to post. Yappi seems to be doing well but JJ is dead & about to be buried so there may be an opportunity to grow in this area...hope this helps.

  I didn't want to throw anyone under the bus but I'm pretty sure the one you mentioned is the culprit. The last pic I saw of you, you were a skinny "kid" and I think that was from the JJ Huddle days when someone would start a "look at me" thread and most would post pics.

  You usually don't run into the bickering on Yappi that you do here. With that being said, Yappi is an infestation of Cincinnati dicks. This site has Cincy posters, most of which are cool. Seems like everyone on Yappi has six usernames.

  I've called S&L fat (several times. Pretty much any time he calls me a ginger, virgin, hipster or similarly other names) and BR has def jumped on that bandwagon calling him fat before. /fatgate
