Welcome to "Off Season Mode."

[Taco John]

Every year, since June of 2001, we've opened up the "Mane" board to off topics. We started doing it because by that time, we were about the rip eachothers throats out rehashing the same Broncos topics over and over again and things got dry and redundant. It's worked pretty well to keep people into the forum over the season and give people a look at the personalities on the board away from the football talk...

The off topic forum will remain open. And during big Broncos events where things are flying fast and furious with the Broncos news, we'll move threads to the offtopics in order to keep things relevant. But during Broncos down time, the main forum will be available for off topics.

Please keep the poitics threads cultural, instead of political. That's to say if you want to post a story about some whackos wanting to add a "piercing" tax to body peircing shops (for instance), that's ok. If you want to post a thread about George Bush looking like a monkey and how much you think he's a dope, take it to the Politics forum. Preferably, the only straight up politics threads are for breaking events of national importance (ie. the state of the union), and not just some minor thing (on the grand scale) like court nominations, or new polling numbers.

I think that about covers it... Play ball...

[Taco John]

Oh yeah... And 3 off topic posts per day per person... Preferably only 2, but if that third one is a doozy... That way nobody is crowding up the forum.

[broncocalijohn]

maybe someone can update the front page also. Old stories and old poll question

That may put a real cramp in Boob's style if he ever returns.

So our President is a primitive primate...he's still kicking the terrorists asses! He's just using higher primate technology effectively. Kinda like a kid with too many toys...he likes to play...cruise missles...GPS bombs...B-52's...F-117's...GI Joes and Janes having sex...he's got lots of toys in his box. Dubya seems like the kind that would strip down GI Joe and GI Jane to their underwear and try to make them perform an unnatural act...I blame Babs, his perverted mother. She should of kept the underwear drawer locked.

This guideline will be abused consistently.

Wow.

I'm sure of it... But we have mods to move excessive stuff to the off topics board...

[Rascal]

Just a question...do you mean actual posts...or new threads? If it is actual posts I feel sorry for your mods.

[Rausch]

Forcing me into the "relevant posts" corner is seriously cramping my style...

Don't worry. You have a Mock taunting exemption.

[FADERPROOF]

New threads, post replies about off topic **** all you want, just limit actual new threads to 2 or 3.

[Sassy]

It's not even "Off season" technically...and the board is looking "messy"...My vote is to keep them separate all year.

[-Slap-]

I've always contended that off topic threads should remain in the Off Topics forum.

With football season over, the main board should be expanded to include other sports. Most of us follow hockey and/or basketball and/or baseball, and that will fill the dead space.

This way we don't get stupid, self indulgent bull**** on the front page that makes the place look as gay as Chiefs Planet.

But that negates all of your posts Slappy regardless of topic ;)

That is a pretty good idea, actually. Can we move the general hockey thread from the other sports forum or do the mods disagree?

No doubt... I've found myself scrolling right on past more than half of the threads on the main board since the change. :(

Funny, I scroll past most of the Bronco stuff now.

Season's over and the next one isn't for so long that talking about it now will just make it go longer.

[HEAV]

All you have to do is look at the insane Mock post about Tiger, to know that offseason mode sucks.

Their is plenty of NFL info out their, not just Bronco info, to support the maine forum. The only real down time is from Feb to March. Even then there are topics going on.

Hell! If you want an offseason mode make it a all sports threads. Nuggs, Avs, Crush.

But for god sake kill the stupid threads.

[ColtSteel25]

Hey how about Jake Plummer a week ago? Good performance from what I hear.

I was on the Chiefs planet last week. That site absolutely owns this one.

actually Taco John owns this site

[Blueflame]

actually Taco John owns this site

TJ kinda "owns" Chefs Planet,too, from what I've seen.... :yayaya:


As for you, ColtSteel, if CP is so "superior" to OM, why are you here bugging us? Judging from your two posts on this thread, I'm thinking the Mullets are more your speed anyway...::)

[FADERPROOF]

Looked better than Peyton Manning.

[Clockwork Orange]

Then go back. You probably fit right in with the trailer park atmosphere over there.

I agree. Everything is out of order.Uhh

[BIM]

Hello guys. Is there a place where I can find the AFC vs NFC record for this season? I looked at nfl.com and didn't find much.

[Blueflame]

I'd try profootballreference.com...

Welcome to the Mane! :wave:

[BIM]

Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I gotta head out. Have a good one.

[listopencil]

Sweet, I've been waiting all season to put some goofy **** on the front page for no reason. Like this:

Hey - are you the same BIM who used to be a regular on the DPO?

Where you been, dude?

That be me!!

[Sassy]

Hey TJ...I still can't get central time to work :(
My "central' is actuall east coast time ;D

[Hogan11]

I kinda think this was a bad request to make. Not only does it invite Hockey hating clods to spew their crap on the thread, but an ongoing effort is going to have to be made to keep it on page 1 of the main forum, whereas it was always on page 1 in the other sports forum.....it'll get lost in the back pages in the main forum.

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

That be me!!

:thumbs:

Glad to hear you're still live, livin,' and breathin!'

Welcome to the OM!

I think all the old gang is here now - except KCB*tcH and Gilligan. ;D

The elderly's for one.

... and the poor... and those who rely on student loans for college... and Katrina victims...

Essentially, everyone who is not a "have" or a "have-more".... y'know, his "base". :P
