Lichoya

[aussiehoya]

Now lic,
you know I love your enthusiasm as a hoya fan. I also dislike insulting people on this board, so please read this post in context. remember that this intervention is for your own good.

Your writing style, although it has gained some notoriety, is simply unacceptable to me. It has got to the point that I find your posts unreadable and just skip over them. This dismays me a little because I'm interested to hear what everyone - you included - has to say.

But the thing is, the posts themselves read like an over-excited 5 year old who can't quite gather himself.. It is truly frustrating. Another apt description: your posts read like the text version of verbal diahrea (sp?). Also, the 80 smiley faces in a row must stop. For the love of all that is holy.

This intervention is going to be tough, but we're doing it because we care about you and the health of your posts. We know you can change.

That is all.

This is one of the worst examples of clutter I've seen on this board in a while.

Don't you have anything better to do Aussie?

lic keep doing what you do man.

[TBird41]

Personally, I think that all the attempts to get lic to post "right" are more annoying than the way he posts. But, then again, maybe that's just me.

Could not agree with you more TBird.

[aussiehoya]

I agree with Aussie. lichoya68's postings are basically unreadable. Plus, he posts continually while saying nothing. The guy started a couple of months ago is now way over 800 posts. I commend his enthusiasm, but I, lilke many, will continue to scroll over his nonsense posts.

[Fan Of The Game]

All in good fun.

For me it's only partially the writing style. The other part is is need to add on a meaningless thought to EVERY topic that comes up. It's OK to keep some of those thoughts in your head. Too often I click on a thread because I see there have been new posts, only to find out the new post is Lic reminding us "go hoyas".

I love the enthusiasm, just not the technique.

[MEGAFAN]

Speaking of technique, more annoying than anyone's posts is when a thread requires horizontal scrolling to read.

Is this your fault Aussiehoya, or someone else who entered this discussion? Normally it only happens if someone inserts a large image (and if the image is good enough, the pain-in-the-a$$ness of scrolling may be justified). Pleeeeeeeeeeeasssse fix this.

LET'S GO HOYAS!!! SINK ST. JOHN'S!

[GUHoya07]

it's wildhoya's doing, he entered that extremely long space-less text and it threw things off.

I think that was wildhoya's homage to lic's posting style.

[Joe Hoya]

Blame goes to wildhoya on the horizontal scrolling I think.

Wild's post was without spaces, so the computer reads it as one word. It doesn't cut words in the middle, so It put the post all on one line.

This has been your "HoyaTalk Technology" update for Friday, February 18, 2005.

Oh, and don't ofrget hoyas play saitn johns flush johnnys in the storm of jeff green and ashantis 333333s if you can go to madison SG and dont youa re not a real hoya or hoyas fan come on everybody make predictions in predictin thread go hoyas go jeff go ashanti go roy, roy roy roy go bobo bobo fananafana fobo and who else go ramell you do good things when you get on the floor and darell PLEASE shoot more three pters because you have sweet stroke just be more confident we gotta win dont matter what stats sheets say after game, just matetrs what the big scoreboard screen says, we just need one more pt then those banned form BET johnys!!!!!!!

Wow, that's strangely refreshing.

And sorry, I started this post before anybody had answered the question, then got carried away...

[SoCalHoya]

Yeah, I hate horizontal scrolling. So annoying.

[MEGAFAN]

Of course, I just realized that after I posted and scrolled up. I was too lazy to check, but not too lazy to post something about it. Well, thanks for the very quick three technology update responses. And oh yeah...

GO HOYAS!!! ISNT GREEEAT TO TYPE MEGA STYLE LIC HOYA TOO ALL CAPS ASHANTI TOWNISGREAT DONT KNOW IF HES FROM CAPETOWN BUT HE HAS A CAPE, HES SUPERMAN AT LEAST WIT HISBOY BO BO CALIFORNIA BOYS.... DREAMIN.... MAKE IT OUT TO MSG STTTT JOHNNNNS FLUSH THE JOHHHNNNNNNIIIISSSS GO HOYAS!!!!!

[prhoya]

I have to agree with AussieHoya. It is very difficult to read Lic's posts and I end jumping to the next entry. I have decided that if he does not take the time to write in an easier-to-read style (as every other poster), then why should I spend time trying to decipher his posts?

I vote for giving Lic his fifth star and Hall of Fame status now so that he will not feel the pressure of posting in every thread a couple of times (to say the least) to reach that status as fast as possible.

[GUHOYA11]

Apparently after my comment last night, I also agree with aussie hoya (what up stafford, it's riley) that lichoya's posts are getting quite annoying. I tend to just skip over anything he ever says. but at least he loves the best college basketball team ever. I would rather have a solid supporter of my favorite basketball team, than none at all...Hopefully i dont get really hammered again tonight and post on the board at 3 am...See you guys tomorrow at Cafe 31. Noon?

[MEGAFAN]

Cafe 31 at noon is correct. But not tomorrow!!! Sunday.

I would be up for meeting then tomorrow as well and even camping out for 24 hours, but I think they'd kick us out eventually and we'd be too drunk come tip-off.

[EasyEd]

I agree with AussieHoya. At first it might have been amusing but it's gone too far. It is very annoying to go to almost any thread and see several posts all of which are illegible without an inordinate amount of time concentrating. Long ago I started skipping them but it takes much of the fun out of looking at the threads. Please consider posting like everyone else.

[michiganhoya]

To me, at least, it would be one thing if lic posted once or twice a day in his unique style. I could then overlook the gibberish. It is the fact that he posts 20 or 30 times a day (it seems) in that gibberish style that gets me worked up. He clearly doesn't spend much time, if any, composing his thoughts before he posts. What is the purpose? He should have his own thread where he can post whatever he wants constantly.
