Fuck The Athletic (its from SF) ESPN (its from NE) and fuck Deadspin, VICE, Reddit, and all the rest

We really cant. But thats a subject for another time.

 

dont you have a personal relationship with Irish?
im sure he's a forgiving guy

 

I just drank way too much coffee that is a lot more powerful to the normal coffee i have been drinking. They bringing the stuff down from central american volcanos that my grandparents used to drink before doing all their superhuman feats. Probably why this came out so excited. Excitement is good though. Even if its spurred a little by caffeine. But its really more to do with all the other stuff im doing. Its like the more shit you do the more amped you are to want to do more new shit. Its weird, im so tired all the time but its good because I sleep better because im tired. Pushing it pushing it and pushing it. Probably making up for all the time I was being too chill sneaking smokes like Obama.
But president chill is out of office and now its time to MDSPGA!

If there is money coming in through gaming then the citizens get a cut.
Its not about putting any pressure on Irish to take on responsabilities. Its about having more unique guys like Irish and/or giving the unique guys we have a platform to shine or shine us all on for a few minutes of our day.

We have had a bunch of guys come through here who are as good as guys that get paid to break sports down. They like the freedom here and hone their skills then leave. They leave because we do not foster their talent, we don't foment their growth.

As far as growth, thats not in my vocabulary. Not in the standard forum idea of growth.
I dont want numbers, never cared for numbers. That was other guys bag. I dont plan to use any adwords type of monetization anyway. Not on the site at least.
Even if its just us as core members doing this stuff, it will attract casual users who will be able to comment to our threads using easy one click methods. No one will have to ever sign up for DSP to post as a user.
There is a mod that allows you to sign in using whatever authentication system you already have locked into your phone. Not just google/facebook but about 15 other ones that people use.
New users are like immigrants. They have all the human rights but are missing some civil rights and cant vote but can reply and see pretty much everything.
Members have full civil rights, can start threads, vote in polls etc... They are residents. Polls will be integral. Residents might be incentivized to pay a poll tax here and there.
Citizens have the extra right to edit/fix the threads started by members. Full rights.
All of us here would be citizens in this scheme. The goal is to graduate Immigrants into Residents and Residents into Citizens.

Trophies come into play with that. It has to be like a role playing game of sorts for it to be enjoyable. Not simply a level/trophy grind but something with some kind of real world meaning.
Getting a trophy may actually get you a trophy in the mail. A shirt, a plaque, a sword?

 

hmmm...

 

racist

 

whiskey for all sinners!!!

 

everybody gets whisky then.

 

Is there a problem?

 

DSP WANTS YOU!!!






(to pony up some cash)

 

What do we need the cash for?

This site has been supported by volunteers for a long time. If we're asking for money, it should offset the site expenses first.

The cash is for upgrading the forum software and updating the design.
