#sleeperwins
We are talking about the moderation of the site on a thread about moderators. Not why Sleeper thinks ND sucks on an OSU thread.

The actual discussion likely would have fizzled out anyway. There's only so many users and their posts congratulating Urban Meyer on being the next head coach. That's the beauty of forums, thread titles aren't absolute, discussions evolve and go widely off topic all the time.

So start a new thread about the topic you want to discuss. LEave the other thread for the topic it is supposed to be about.

Doubtful. Did I mention I was a moderator of a site much larger and more active than this one? I wasn't any different there than I am on here.

As has been stated by others, off topic is to be expected. This is not the same as the topic devolving into insults and clever ways to insert "fail" into words.

Usually I only bring up ND when ND fans starting trashing Ohio State. I said I retaliate tit for tat, but I am the only one that ends up getting punished.

You are thinking about different posters than, because I rarely use that moniker and I rarely insult users unless the post something ridiculous and they need to be called out for it. No different than anyone else on this site, I'm just better at it.

It is now. It didn't use to be that way. I feel this site mirrors that site when it first started going downhill. The admins were almost as naively optimistic as this one, guess who won?

Me.

I wasn't aware that was a rule. If it is, its not applied evenly to everyone on this forum. If it is a rule, its a terrible rule because discussions are ever evolving. I'm starting to think you don't read my posts.

You won by letting the site die?

Congrats?

My comments are to you, not necessarily about you (at least, not as the primary offender).

where did I say it was a rule? It's just general common sense that you don't need to discuss someone at Notre Dame dying in every single CFB thread you post in.

Because its dead. It died long after I left. I left because the community was becoming to close knit and I was sick of hearing the same cliches, memes, and inside jokes over and over re-hashed. This forum is slowly becoming the same thing, maybe I'll leave this one too.

Another thought, when a thread has gotten to the point where it's just become a slap fight, why not just close it? If someone wants to continue the original (or related) topic, they can start a new one.
