Sometimes after I've finished reading an excellent piece on Grantland I ask myself, "What would Grantland have to add to their site in order for me to never go to ESPN again?... Like, maybe if they had a scoreboard with links to box scores...." Anyway, the point is that I merely tolerate ESPN.

Sometimes I wonder the same thing about jazzfanz. I mean, this site survives on the productivity and insight of about a dozen people. If they decided to go to a different site, then what would happen? Would the next dozen just rise to the top of the foam? Or would it be a big hit to the usefulness of the site? Aren't you curious? What do you think, moderators?
 
Lol, at the possibly veiled consequence due to the timing of its post.

Personally I think a mix. Not every one would go to said new site and others, to an extent, would rise up. Both sites would be less than the site as it currently is.

I would just like to point out where you're profile pic came from. I mashed them logos together. I think Naos has a valid point about content creation.

I never said he didn't. What I did say is that I think both sites would end up being less that what Jazzfanz is now.

But as for my avatar, that is not the same as a thread designed to push the envelope.

Edit: Also thanks for the avatar. Rep incoming in case I never did. Nevermind: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ♪alt13 again.
 
The point is that we don't know what the quality of each site would be. Maybe jazzfanz would just start sucking and the other site would be good. Maybe vice versa.

All I've gotta do to get PKM on the new site is design a never-ending rep system. There's one down. I'm pretty sure I could convince 3 others to give it a try. There's 4. I could get off my *** and find funding for a couple of official jazz prizes to be passed out at regular intervals. There's a lot more.

This site does nothing to deserve the quality of production it sees. When a couple of ridiculously stupid decisions on moderators happen, then you shouldn't be surprised to see people looking (or wondering about) other options.

The point is you've ticked off some of the most valuable posters. 2 cases in particular. Log was actually told that he is no longer insightful and basically that he should **** off. Gameface has gone on boycott. Maybe you guys should be a little more receptive.

If you want to make a new Jazz site then all the best.

Said posters have also been slinging it just as well. This is from a poster/mod that likes GF and Log quite a lot.

But yes I agree that people need to chill out. That works both ways.

That's borderline bull****, alt. **** off? Hardly. I did create a post in which I told Log he used to be insightful and interesting. I added that he had become Trout-Lite specifically so people would understand that it was a joke. Perhaps poorly timed, I didn't realize the board was on fire. I think over the years I have given Log enough rep and compliments that he knows I appreciate his input. But starting numerous new threads as a protest is neither insightful nor interesting. It is childish. Log is much, much better than to have to resort to such tactics.

Gameface has gone on boycott. Maybe you guys should be a little more receptive.

What does that mean? We should just let stuff go, so we don't irritate anyone? I love Gameface. I consider him a friend. Like, in real life. But he is choosing to boycott. It was not thrust upon him. He'll come back. He porn-bombed the joint and still made it back. He's an important part of the scene here, I completely agree. But the mod staff is not going to worry about the preferences of individual posters. We do what we do to keep the board functioning the way Jason wants it to function.

Ultimately, as a poster, you're participation should hinge on the management of the board, not vice-versa (sorry, this is a recycled thought from another thread). As a poster, you have the freedom to participate on the board. If it is not meeting your individual criteria, there are probably many others that will. I am not saying this in a tone of if-you-don't-like-it-leave. I don't want anyone to leave. I'm just saying that expecting the board to be managed in a way that caters to everyone is unreasonable. It is more reasonable to expect that those who post here understand the culture and accept it as part of the experience.

If you got pkm, joebagadogpoo, hey hey, trout and a few other funny dudes to leave jazzfanz and go to a new site, then I would go too.

Im mostly here because of the funny posters who also love the jazz.

This place would suck if it was simply full of intellectual guys talking seriously and intellectually about the jazz.

Guys like gvc, one brow, darkwing, jimmy, etc have their place for sure but without the jokesters I would quit this place

Two of my favorites
 
I know Stoked tries to ruin JFC on a regular basis, but you don't leave a good marriage because one of your kids turns out to be really dumb.

So I have a question. When I'm on tapatalk, as is often the case, emoji's don't show up as images, just as text in brackets [...] that says emoji followed by a number.

Am I doing it wrong? Or do others have that happen too?

I can see the emoji that I posted. Not sure if it's just because I posted it or not though
