I'm laughing my butt off if the" art on a cruise ship" story is factual. I was quite sure that Marc had simply descended from the Heavens to Earth as a 40-something to be the scouting savior that the world needed. At least based on the incomplete gospel we'd received from him. But, fellas, there are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. I'm stoked about the new board and the return of some of my favorite posters!

Hello to all! John- thanks for "keeping the dream alive". For someone who is stuck in acc territory getting my UK fix is a much needed break! Best, Clay Glad to do it, I thought it was important to maintain a site where everyone could talk UK sports.

I like it too. Now, if you will just bring that monkey avatar back, all will be well in the world. lol I debated using that again. I will probably bring it back sooner or later. Monkeys are just fun.

I think a lot of conversation died because people didn't want Marc to talk to them like they were 2 when they expressed an honest opinion or tried to analyze a game themselves. Basketball is a game.... Not complicated algorithm analysis or anything. Marc sold art on a cruise ship and was then a scout. It's not like he came to the game fully qualified, and yet other people were silly to voice an opinion. Maybe not everything is insightful, but damn, enjoy the game and talk about it with your friends. I think I speak for other mods when I say that's what we want to see here.. Thanks for the honesty Casey

I think a lot of people liked the information that Mark gave but Hated the attitude , that is one reason I hardly ever posted! This is the reason I am sure a lot of people didn't post.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the 250 post club. The quest to attain membership will bog down threads with "thanks" and "cool" posts as opposed to real discussion. Looks like I had 1600 posts in probably 5 years on TBK so it wouldn't take me that long but I feel like it hinders the idea of community and ultimately divides it. I guess it just depends on how it's utilized...hopefully not as the only place to post for those eligible, thereby excluding a lot of people and conversation.
Can say I'm a huge fan of Casey's rants.

Well the 250 # is not set in stone. We may (and probably will) lower it eventually. Right now I have it set that way to make sure most discussion stays on this board. In fact, it may go away completely if it takes away from this board. It's just a test board for now.
