Are you upset with me for speaking when spoken to?? 😬🙃 Anyway, much love PR hope all is well. Yes, the posting rules are still in force, at least through the end of the month. Please respect the rules as a result.--AdminAre you guys censoring lively, but respectful debate on a message board? 🙃 Do posters think this is a good rule? 😬 Yes, some rules are needed based on past behaviors. I fully support our moderators on this.

Well guys since the mods don't want to answer my question, I'm out. I don't really see the point of being on a message board where people discussing opposing views in an adult manner is not tolerated if it exceeds a certain amount of posts. It's been fun engaging with you guys and I wish you all the best. Take care. One of the last quality posters on this board is out because of a ridiculous rule meant to stifle debate and conversation for a… wait for it…. message board. Great work mods. If you don’t like certain posters that post too much, just remove those specific posters privileges if it’s over the top. Why subject the rest of us to arbitrary restrictions when for once folks want to actually discuss issues of substance to the program?

Sad that a rule put in place to curb people with inane views that repeat themselves ad nauseum now get to revel in legitimate posters succumbing to said rule against the initial intent.

Admin, can I give you a list of others I'd like to do the same? 😜

This is just plain sillinesses. Look at the reasons for roster turnover at Duke/Kentucky compared to Georgetown. The former are programmatic change due to the recruitment of elite players moving on to the NBA. The latter, desperation due to a highly incompetent program lead who could not find a HC promotion in the NBA so he backed into a consolation prize. Yeah, but I'm not disputing that. The question is if the team wins will you find it difficult to root for the "program" based on the circumstances that brought them here? I doubt that will be the case. Fans care about wins and losses. And if we're talking about the "casual fan" that DFW references that's even more so. Am I wrong? My opinion yes. As a double alumnus the product we put on the court goes beyond Ws and Ls. It has to be consistent with the mission of the University - sports as another avenue for the development and formation of the young mind - not as a means to a end.

Yaboy is terrible alright... a terrible loss for the board. Wow. He supplied LOTS of GOOD info. I'd welcome him back with open arms.

If we lost Yaboy....we should just shut the place down.
He never caused any trouble and brought a ton of knowledge to the group.

To be fair - looks like DFW reached out to Yaboy on Twitter to let him know nothing he posted was cut/chnaged/removed/held and Yaboy confirmed he left of his own volition. Hope he decides to return.

Correct. I'm a Yankees fan and can't stand Brian Cashman. Try being an Orioles fan lol Y’all are 27-9 right I don't recommend anyone trying that. My apologies, hoyaatheart. You've had a tough couple of decades. At least they're finally trending up a bit.

TC was jokingly referring to himself as the "terrible poster" when it was inaccurately noted that he left. Off-season is usually brutal around here. Off-season coming off 0-20? Hell on earth, apparently. There aren't many posters who are happy that Ewing is still around (ironically one of those posters is the main reason why the multiple post limit was put in place). But the constant repetitive negative posting has become just too much. We get it, people aren't happy. But a select few are hammering that home to the point of making this place unreadable. Probably the main reason why YaBoy left (and a nice job of one poster playing a part by being a 5 year old).

Here's to hoping YaBoy reconsiders. He always provided solid information and had well-considered opinions while also keeping things on topic as opposed to attacking other posters. I, for one, would do well to follow his example more closely. Hopefully, he was just having a bad day and the posting rules just caused him to make a snap judgment that he reconsiders in the near future. If not, he'll be missed by many here.

At least they're finally trending up a bit. 2012-2016 was very nice This season is about to get exciting with the incoming call ups of Rutschman, Rodriguez, Hall, etc.

Light at the end of the tunnel. Having said that, the moving back/heightening of the left field wall isn't going to help much on the free agent market for righty power bats but it'll definitely help in attracting pitchers.
