JFC!!! Enough!!! I left here at the end of October because I couldnt take the same shit every fucking day in and day out!!! THIS IS A VIKING FAN SITE, NOT A POLITICAL SITE!!! Can we please get back to talking football? or ANY other thing other than Politics??? Not one person here has, nor ever will convince the other person that they are wrong!! So why fucking bother?? I mean I get it, the news really isnt the news and this may be the only way to get the truth out, but the constant bullshit and arguing and name calling is tiresome!! As a Mod here, I got so sick and tired of having to read all the bickering in case there was a possibility of a blow out, and then even more tired of reading the complaints by people who literally just said much worse, then got their panties in a knot and had to file a complaint!!
Purp1eOne started this site nearly 3 years ago when we all left VF for a new home, a better home. Well, many here seem to have no problem destroying their own home then!! We started this place as a Community, well this Community hasnt grown, in fact its shrinking!! we chase away new members right away as well.
THIS IS P1s SITE, He built it, he spends his money keeping it going, he spends his own time updating the software as well. Please show him some respect and thanks for all his hard work and follow what his dream of this place was suppose to be!!
We dont need anyone here thinking they are smarter than or know better than what the guy who built and owns this site anymore, just follow the damn rules, and lets get back to talking football, any other sport, music, tv, women, beer, etc anything but politics!!
This place may be in danger of shutting down if we all dont change, if you dont care, then leave now, if you do care, change your habits of posting here, after all the guy you are arguing with is also a Viking fan, which is the main reason why we are here!!
Please dont make dad get the belt, or just send you another warning PM. The Cooler is open for business, and it will be cold in there!!
Thank you!!

I have never in my LIFE been more confused why it is SO difficult for someone to just not open a thread and read what they don’t want to read.
It’s like screaming at a bookstore “CAN WE PLEASE NOT HAVE ANYMORE LOVE NOVELS!!!” Fricken go to another isle bro.

To a point I fully agree with you, but in todays technology age where everything gets earmarked in Google and where ever else. If you google Viking fan site Viking Horn pops up as one of the most popular ones, but if you look up the most popular posts here, not many are Viking or Football related, so it throws off potentially new members who may want to join, until they see the politics and arguing, then they move on real fast!!

If you had stuck around and posted more football it would knock the other threads down faster Glad to see you. One note, ice cones don’t sell good in the winter. Same goes for football in off weeks or season. Most of us have been fans long enough to know whats going on with team. Only so much football can be talked or argued. This site realizes life is not just football and entertains all topics. I checked out Prouds board a month ago and its only football. After a few threads I had to leave to get some air. Its a great site but its only football. I cannot talk football 24/7/365. I am less let down now because if they lose life goes on and other topics can be discussed. Pol is different now vs 10 years ago. Quick access to info means more info is out there than before and its important to some people. If a person wants to skip it they can. There’s a great core of posters here who have been around the block a time or two and know when to disengage. I think its great all topics are open. We have a generic drinking thread as well. Music threads. Joke threads. Good news threads. This is the WalMart of boards whereas other boards are like Ace Hardware. Ace is great but thats all you get. Here you can decide what section to shop in. Anyways, stick around! Tell me, will Adam go off this week? Cheers my friend!!!

There are 33 threads on the first page. 3 of them are clearly political. Many of us like discussing politics, and this site is a lot more courteous in those discussions than most, so we do it here WITHIN those 3 threads. Is that huge thread on drinking football related? I don't hear any complaints about it. As far as that goes, I haven't heard anyone else complain about any thread regardless of the content -- if it looks like something they don't like they stay out of it, just like I stay out of the drinking one because I don't drink. Now I could be wrong, and maybe you have knowledge I don't, but if a football fan came here and left because we had the audacity to talk politics in 3 threads, he probably wouldn't stay around long anyway since a lot of the football threads can get more argumentative than the political ones. JMO, but you're the boss.

Pretty sure the site is just fine Bob, really have no idea what you are talking about. Good mix of football and politics as well as other OT threads from time to time.

It’s like screaming at a bookstore “CAN WE PLEASE NOT HAVE ANYMORE LOVE NOVELS!!!” Fricken go to another isle bro. The problem is that some people do not want certain political views being discussed in a favorable light. Weather or not they are part of the conversation is inmaterial. By the way...........nice to have you back VikingBob.

JMO, but you're the boss. I left for what? 7 weeks or so?? I still got the chimes on complaint reports and saw the political threads blow up and cause non stop Arguing among posters that came here originally from a different site because we were the outcasts this board was started by all friends and was suppose to be self moderating. Well as we grew it started splitting which caused more arguing It isn't a pretty sight to see when you're just looking in, that's all I am saying. If we could ever learn to discuss instead of argue politics then maybe the country might be in better shape... As for the Drinking Thread, if I remember correctly, it was one of the very first threads here and has been a staple of this group for many many years. Check it out, it's much more than just drinking! I am not the boss P1 is the boss as this is his site!!
