I am always watching.

Well I just kind of found it funny that last week I had to go to an Orioles board to interact with an ORG member about baseball. Sad.
Odd you should mention it: I hadn't read Sundeck in quite a while, then just came back to it a week or so ago and was impressed. I'm not sure that an outsider would be able to tell one board from the other in a blind taste test.
I've debated whether to respond to this since I read it, so I'm just going to make a short comment.
I probably fall into this category, but speaking for myself only, I did not take it personally nor have I felt the need to "adjust" in order to get into ORG. I simply chose not to post as much or as in depth as I used to because of the constant feeling like I was in an audition. I came here simply to interact with Reds fans in the best environment possible, not to feel like I need to be a certain way in order to get accepted. Also, I have had a lot of personal problems in my life recently and they made my time here a much lower priority. If I am not ORG material, then so be it, I'm fine with it.
Please know that I do not mean my feelings as a way of criticism towards the forum or it's design. When the change was made, there was a consensus that a change needed to be made in ORG and I did not agree with that. Now, I know I was totally wrong because I find 95% of my time now spent at RedsZone is now lurking and reading ORG. The quality of discussion that goes on there is just fantastic and something that I never knew could exist in an internet messageboard, and the creators, moderators, and the members of ORG deserve a lot of credit for making it what it is today.
Okay, maybe it wasn't short but I said what I wanted to. :thumbup:
Go Reds!!!
I read it once every couple of weeks. And even then, I find the content to be either totally stultifying or merely a doppelganger of the discussion being held on ORG.
I see no reason to go there unless a thread title catches my eye.
I check it out occasionally to see if anyone in the Sun Deck is talking about me. When I find that they aren't talking about me, I get very sad.
I am a member of the Sundeck and i don't even read it. It seems to me that I get a much more satisfying read on the ORG.
That thread makes my head hurt too. Honestly, I feel really bad that I don't read Sun Deck as much as I should - especially since I'm a mod - but it's not necessarily the content that pains me, it's the tone. And a lot of it is repetitive to ORG but that's to be expected.
Yeah, I went to grade school in a school that had rooms that were called "pods"--no walls separating the individual grade levels. Hippie as hell.
There's no fighting city hall on this one; the mods' job was made easier, so basically, that was that. When it's framed that way, I have less of a problem with it philosophically. But then, who cares what I think? Right?
