Real Deal

Discussion of other sites is allowed as long as it isn't promoting them intentionally...but I'm not going to allow members to bash any other active site.

There's no way I'm selling OTR. I have no idea who Rush is, and he/she doesn't concern me. I shut down OTR for a day not because of a rumor about me, but because someone pulled strings and manipulated the entire community. Ask the members who were around. Misinformation is bad information. Yes, I know former members are spamming. I created a topic about it earlier. And what a former member says about me doesn't concern me, either. Nobody else has ever owned OTR. I've had basically the same staff for over five years. I don't promote trolling on other boards to get back at them. I don't need administrators from other sites assisting me with everything I do. I don't create 15 different sites with multiple domains, sell any, purchase any, merge with any...don't care because I don't need it. There's nothing more to say, really.

Not the new one (although you can talk about that one coming out, too), but I just KILLED IT with Karl Malone, and I used the keyboard, lol. http://i33.tinypic.com/qys1eb.jpg "NO JOHN, YOU DO NOT GET TO SCORE."

Gotta put Bryant ahead of everyone when he's healthy. Tossing the statistics out the window (because you'll have to do that during the upcoming season, since Wade, James and Bosh are sharing now), Kobe is the most complete player out of everyone in the league. 1) Kobe 2) James 3) Wade 4) Durant

We had a choice between choir or band, had to pick one or the other (sucked), so I picked the trumpet. Ended up ranked #1 in the state of Kansas for two consecutive years, in state solo competitions...so I stuck with it after I shattered my ankle playing ball. On the other hand, I absolutely HATED band. Didn't like marching, didn't like anything about it. People would all go and see movies and [expletive] together, and I would never go, didn't even really know anyone in my band besides this really hot clarinet player.

Nothing important? As mentioned, he did serve a purpose. Had it not been for Person, I'm not really sure if Kobe could've continued playing...and he may have opted to get the surgery. Maybe a good thing for the future (the surgery), but I wonder how that would've changed things for last season.

Don't spam my PM system with other sites, simple as that. I'll not only ban the member(s) doing it, but I'll also delete the accounts, completely, and ban IP addresses from viewing the board as a guest, then post your name and the site name in this topic, for everyone to see. A simple "http" and ".com" search in the database provides me with those links. Nothing further to discuss, so the topic is closed.

Silva will probably win, but he's losing a fan more and more each time he taunts his opponents. I'm to the point where I want to see him tap (not knocked out from some lucky punch). This might be one of his toughest fights yet, though.

He was making a suggestion, people. If you have nothing to contribute to the topic, stay out of it. Not really difficult unless you're too childish to gather your maturity in topics such as this one. As for the change, I don't know. I believe I increased them to 140x140 a while back, but it only made it worse for those who have trouble viewing topics because of the GIF files being used.

I wouldn't mind seeing him shoot 0-30 and getting into a fight with Bosh, just because the fans are getting to him that game. Would be sick.

It's not the arguing, it's the guys that act ignorant in topics. I have let many, many debates turn into arguments. That's not really that big of a problem most of the time. But those that really do care about the site (not saying you don't) know that the problem is the immaturity, turning topics into something completely irrelevant on purpose before they even hit the second page. People acting like they really don't give a damn about the discussion here. Someone will post something about card collecting, and it turns into trash. A member made a mistake and wants help cleaning out his system and passing a drug test? Okay, either help him out or don't reply. There is much less stress over it, really, than there was a few years ago. I'm not even to that point. But if it gets to that point, I'll just start dropping people myself. The moderators hand out generous suspensions. I'm the exact opposite.

The Boston-Miami game will probably contain at least 80 combined free throws. But with Shaq playing, it should help Boston reach at least 10.

http://www.openoffice.org To be honest with you, Open Office is almost as good. Basically the same thing, and I believe it's fully compatible.

Sorry Nitro, I needed to close the topic.

Yeah. If it's just some girl you like, I wouldn't consider that a big deal...but it's your girl. You're in a relationship with her. You have a right to be upset, and she has no right to go looking for sex elsewhere, no matter who it's with.

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I know what that means.

Whoa...didn't know he never scored 50 at home. Learn something new every day.

When he returns to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers, what do you honestly expect fans to do, and what do you expect from LeBron? I have this feeling things will be thrown on the court. Maybe similar to the Lakers fans throwing their foam fingers last year (dumb). Maybe old LeBron jerseys? :o I've heard that Cavs fans were planning on not showing up, but then changed their mind because they need to be there to support their team. I also expect some of the loudest boos I've ever heard every time he touches the ball. Will LeBron even play over 30 minutes? I wonder how he'll react to all of it.

Just adds the possibility of 10-15 points in the paint for Boston, a true big that actually has a good offensive game under the rim (I don't consider Davis a center, and Perkins isn't an offensive threat most of the time). Miami should be concerned, as well as Orlando, honestly.

Read it again and again. Mods, just start handing out more suspensions. Seven days minimum. Don't worry about the activity...we'll deal with that later. If you see someone causing problems over and over again, and he/she won't let it go, drop them from the site and I'll increase/decrease the suspension, or hand out the permanent ban. Gonna keep this up as long as we have members acting bipolar. It's good to be funny every now and then, but it's completely idiotic when you're trying to be funny all the time, and you really aren't. At all.

LMAO, sounds like you've already got the plan ready. I'm not so sure anyone else can give you advice.

Other than Hedo and Bosh, what players have spit on the franchise after their departure? Just curious...because I really have no idea.

Typo. And Ellis looks like an all-star caliber player that's actually in the same boat as Kevin Martin. He's not a team player, and he's not a first option on a successful playoff team. And yes, teams do have to settle on fillers, bad contracts and average-to-bad players to get what they really want...it happens all the time. If there's someone out there that the Warriors are targeting, and they need Cleveland's help to get the trade done, they will do it...and if it means getting back Mo Williams JUST to get that particular player from a third team, they will do it. Not sure if you have something against Cleveland, Mo Williams (because of what he said to Wade), or what...but Mo is no scrub. He's a legit starter...overpaid a little, but so are a ton of players in the league.

Nobody said the Cavaliers were going after Mo Williams. They would have to take him to make salaries work, and if they wanted Hickson (like Phoenix did) and another decent player from a third team. Stop overreacting to what people are saying. Monta Ellis is not THAT great of a player.

:o
