I generally want the board to stay active, even though the moderation is more difficult without sports happening, as it's hard to fault people for drifting off topic with so little to actually discuss. But I certainly have better uses of my time... if I wanted to watch/referee political sh*t-shows, I wouldn't have killed my Facebook account. That said, the rare, interesting tidbit periodically coming in around OSU sports is still worth it for me. you killed your Facebook account. MBA said he did the same thing. I did two years ago and I thought I was unique. And I mostly killed it because the political stuff got old and I had trouble from stopping myself from laughing out loud at two ignorant "friends"

Sadly I know no other Beaver fans. I might as well just turn in my "Go Beavs" card if this place shuts down. Until then... Go Beavs! I'm genuinely intrigued by this.. did you just randomly adopt the Beavs one day as a youngster in Reno? Go to school at OSU, but no other family members are fans? Dislike the ducks so much that you went all in on the in-state rival? I should clarify, I know beaver fans, I grew up in Corvallis, but no one I really talk to on a regular basis or that I'd think to call or text "hey we just signed the 46th best OLB in the country!" In fact I get more beaver-related texts or DMs from people I've met from this site than guys I've known 40 years.

Someone hacked it in a roundabout way and I decided that was enough. Good decision.

I have another idea for you to consider: require posters to post under their real name. No internet handles, usernames, etc. roryhunt thinks that is a stupid idea....

I would like our Names. If we have to Hide behind some name to post than maybe it would make for better discussion.

No...please don’t!! During times like this...this is exactly what we need. If you need funds, I’m sure many would contribute to a fundraising campaign.

Jon Packard here!
Sorry, had to go with the make. Jon 200 seemed goofy, but would probably fit in today!

Wait, didn't this board grow out of the pure-orange site that was up for more than a decade? Have I been talking to the wrong people this whole time?

Dennis Duster, Jon Packard, Warren Datsun, Steve Pinto. Sounds like the beginnings of a Springsteen cover band. I call bass.
