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. Become a Mod and see all the complaints about people getting their panties in a bunch. Then go back and call the person they just complained about something even worse. It does get tiresome real quick

It does get tiresome real quick That's fair and a side I don't see but I really enjoy the people here from both sides of the political aisle. Compared to the blowups I have seen in prior sites it just seems like fairly mild disagreements here and I don't want it to change.

I have yet to be on any board and not see some some dust ups and complaints. Humans, we do it all. But this place has way less than any other board I’ve been on anywhere, and I’ve been in a lot. NBA board. College football board. Pol board. Many Vikings boards. You will never find a board anywhere without it. But there are many posters who I would love to have a beer or shot with here, I’ll buy first round.
We always start season with optimism and it fades. Except Favre year and Moss year. We fans have come to realize we may never see another Super Bowl with Vikings. But we have it in common and choose to talk life stuff too. The board owner has been steadfast in allowing other topics and should be commended for it. Most boards start off one way and change to accomodate new posters. Then old posters leave and new posters move on and it dies. Very rare to find the same rules in place now as 3 years ago. All at his expense. Not changing to commercial site or bringing in ex players who then you have to pussy foot around. Nope, its the same board as it started out to be and I for one give kudos to owner. (Thanks P1).

I am probably the first member besides P1. He and I talked about starting a new place after the last place started falling apart we knew what we wanted. And yes politics and OTs would be allowed. Many told us dont do it. we hoped everyone would police themselves but it just didnt happen.

PB was one of them and does this on every board. Now that he’s gone its been very civil. All of the dust ups in past few months had him involved. He tried hard to bring this board down. He failed. He might have gotten a few others to leave so in that regard he won the battle but he lost the war. Board is still here and humming along just fine.

I am pretty new here, but the football talk is what brought ne in, and what keeps me here. I will jump in a thread here and there and talk a little shit, but hell I usually step right in it. So there you are!!!! I think I will enjoy your enthusiasm Bobby!

I don’t understand the issue here. If you don’t like the political threads then don’t open them or participate. I rarely post in the political threads but do read them and get a kick of it. This is a free wheeling board that has a bunch off different topics. Why people like the OP have to come on with a lengthy rant about topics they don’t like is beyond me.

I have no interest in talking politics on a Vikings board so I just avoid the threads. Easy, peazy. That said, It doesn’t bother me to see a few political threads posted. I would rather they were posted in a sub forum but no biggie either way.

Become a Mod and see all the complaints about people getting their panties in a bunch. Then go back and call the person they just complained about something even worse. It does get tiresome real quick I was a mod for many years on the original PT. I did get tired of it and quit. That's an option, you know.

Not really, again I was one of the original founders of this place. P1 and I discussed what we wanted here long before it started up. P1 has also taken time off from here as it sometimes gets overwhelming. As have other mods. This is OUR home and OUR community, let's all try to respect that Thank you

I agree. It's too much politics on this board. And politics is the last I want to discuss in a world that become mad and insane. Football is w kind of escape area - at least for 4 month per year - for me. So I would like to see a clear separation between football and non-football related stuff. Maybe just do not put everything under category "discussion. Just an idea....
