Other Forums In the Wasteland
What other forums should we start? Do we need separate FB and BB forums? I don't think we would need those bince I highly doubt we will have the critical mass necessary to support them.
I do think we should have a separate baseball forum with a Cubs, Cardinals, Royals, Twins and Sox thread pasted to the top so that no one has to fish around for threads. Perhaps we will also have a Yakult Swallows thread in there too, although Yakult is what triggered my assplosion in the crapping your pants at work thread.
Rule Addendum
I added an addendum to the rules that I think is wholly unnecessary, as we have a good group of posters and I don't think anyone would do this, but that I want to make sure is clear on a going-forward basis. If spank keeps coming around, I would ask he helps us police this one. Here it is in its entirety:
Addendum to Rules - I think this goes without saying under e above [No copywritten stuff], but ABSOLUTELY DO NOT copy any content from any premium message board or pay articles from other sites bince we don't want to bog this board down with recruiting mumbo jumbo that other sites, whose operators' livelihood depends on breaking such stories, publish. This site is just a service to give Hawk (and some Illini) fans a spot to talk about Off-Topic matters (and sports on occasion) with a fairly relaxed set of rules and I want to make sure it doesn't interfere with anyone's ability to earn a living. No one has any expectation of profit from this site (with the exception of the hosting service proboards) but at the same time, this site cannot be allowed to materially harm other boards' pecuniary interests, so please be extra careful if you break a story from another board and be extra vigilant in reporting any stories to me or socal in the event it appears that any story infringes on another site's intellectual property rights.
Thanks,
