Why would y'all lock the single most successful thread in the history of the soccer forum? Over 100 posts and nearly 1000 views.

Just a question.Sure there were some turds in the pool, but if every thread that was 10% tripe got locked, where would we be.

I'll take Italy in the finals btw. I can't stomach the French winning it all.

Nishlord · Post by **Nishlord** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 10:13 am

Because I felt like it, and I got complaints from others.

Thread's still open, by the way.

Gee, I don't know ... 5 pages of soccer bashing in the WC Forum, maybe?

There's a place for that, called the main forum. Check it out sometime, unless you'd care to link me to all of the "We suck in basketball," "We suck in baseball" and "We suck in football" threads in the NBA, MLB and NFL forums.

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 1:07 am

But we rule in all those sports.

If you don't like the thread you could have started your own, or not read it. Locking is a pussy move...kinda like soccerplayer diving.

I disagree. This is the WC forum. that means we discuss the WC here. That includes smacking it. For chrissakes, look who's moderating (alledgedly) UF, sahkah hayta extraordinaire.

No, it doesn't.

This is a sports forum. It's not a "bash the sport" forum.

Wtf is the matter with you cunts?

Can't stand the fact that there's nothing else of relevance going on in the sporting world?

Be constructive or get the fuck out. Nobody is forcing you to post in this forum. It's really not that difficult to understand, nor would the bashing be tolerated in any other sports forum on this board.

Could somebody get rf a tampon?

STFU you whinny little cunt. Don't wanna read the sahkah smack, then scroll on by.

Where the hell is fess? Fess, ban this pos or atleast unleash some of your almost world famous sahkah smack.

Yes, that was done as a joke, but also to get folks like e and KC Scott and anybody else who actually would give at least a part of this tournament a shot, with an open mind.

Thanks for reminding me though. Fester provided some comedic relief and spurred some spirited discussion.

"sahkah hayta extaordinaire?" maybe. But then again the intention was to at least get him to watch some of the games in this tournament, with an open mind.

Because, after all, as everybody knows there's soooo much going on in the American sports scene this time of year.

Link me up to it, will ya?

Fester's no longer a mod.

Thanks for reminding me.

Anything else?

Look, RF, I like footie. I really do. I like the serious discussion, but I love the flame jobs, when they are done with a little wit.

So, when did fess get sacked or did he quit? And why didn't I get the memo.

Does he have to turn in the mod company car?

RadioFan · Post by **RadioFan** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 2:39 am

My bad ...

Fester was made a mod, he wasn't asked to be one. He was unmade as he was made.

Also, before I lock this thread, somebody please link me up to the "We suck in basketball," "We suck in baseball" and "We suck in football" threads in the NBA, MLB and NFL forums.

TIA

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 3:19 am

There may not be one....but you're free to start one up. I could start a we suck thread about my Lions, and probably will when the season is upon us. As for the other sports, my teams are pretty good. Until then..happy censoring.

Your best move is to keep all threads open, especially in forums that generate very little traffic. Because for all you know, a negative "take" on soccer could very well turn into interesting and positive discussion about the game.

Dude, I sorta' like you...seem like a decent sort and all...but learn to live and let live for a change, or cross my heart I'm telling orcinus what a shambles you're making of this place.

We wouldn't want that, now would we?

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 4:47 am

Bottom line...locking the thread was bush league. Nish (the only mod of this forum) didn't lock it. Could it be because he realizes that higher traffic is good for the forum overall? Whoever locked it just pussified the forum dedicated to a sport he's been defending as non-pussy....I smell irony in here. Instead of arguing points, dude locks the thread and threatens to lock any threads that oppose his views. Nice little sewing circle you're creating over here.

RadioFan · Post by **RadioFan** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 6:28 am

My, My, My.

Insert Johnny Gill resets here, clones. And try taking in a little more R&B to all of your pathetic lives.

Where, oh where, to even start with you whining, fucking no-life CUNTS.

Let's start with Mgo.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Your best move is to keep all threads open, especially in forums that generate very little traffic.

How about you actually READ, before posting, much less try to tell me, what my "best move" is, Magoo.

RadioFan, on May 8, in a thread leading up to this very forum wrote:Forum opens: May 15

Forum closes: When folks stop posting, and/or based on how the U.S. does ... no later than July 15 (Hey, the final is July 9).

Oh, so sorry. I guess I'll have to ~ gasp ~ stick to my word.

But don't worry, it if makes you hurt pussies feel any better, yes, this forum will be closed as of July 15. Unless, of course, you whiney fuckbags want me to leave it open for the next four years, because you're still attempting to do everything except post about the topic at hand, I.E. the World Cup.

Oh, but by all means, keep telling me how "unfair" and "cruel" I am.

Now on to the next mensa, whom, unless I'm wrong, just pulled the Orcinus card, and made me laugh. Hard.

War Wagon wrote:Who died and made you like T1B overlord of all things right and proper?

What part of this forum will be closed after the World Cup is over and/or posting in here stops, do you fucking not understand?

And what part of pissing in a sports forum do you NOT understand, Wags? Or should I start a "Hey! Kansas City sucks at football because their fans don't understand football!" thread, in the NFL forum?

And lastly we have this, from WolverineSteve, who started a thread berating soccer in general, and U.S. Soccer in particular:

WolverineSteve wrote:Instead of arguing points ...

What "points" were being argued, outside of "soccer sucks" or "we suck?"

Ya'll think that would be tolerlated in the football, baseball or basketball forums here?

It was fun while it lasted, but now it's time for this entire forum to be closed in two weeks or so.

WolverineSteve wrote:Nice little sewing circle you're creating over here.

Thanks for playing, fellas, and thanks for knitting a while. I think I'll stick to my word, based on how "intelligent" you guys seem to be about this sport.

Get your tardness in, while it lasts, mensas.

Few of you want this forum to remain open for the next four years, so try actually bringing sports takes to a temporary sports forum, next time, K?

WolverineSteve · Post by **WolverineSteve** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 2:28 pm

Actually the original thread was born out of a frustration in the US teams performance. I think you could file that under soccer related. I also think it was pertanent to get a pulse on what others thought about the team and sport in general. Many people could give a toss about soccer except during the WC. Many relish the opportunity to win a World event with a team sporting the red, white, and blue. It give us a chance to swell up with national pride. So when our highly touted team shits down its collective leg, alot of us were pissed.

Now if you don't like baseball, football (college or pro), hockey or hoops bring your ass over to those forums and I guarentee your threads that bash a team or sport will remain open.

socal · Post by **socal** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 2:44 pm

RF,

Apart from keeping this World Cup forum open for four years, why not have a general soccer forum?

Trust me. You didn't laugh nearly as hard as i did.

See that tag under my nic?

It's a joke!

RJ glossed me as that one time and it made me laugh.

Seriously bro, cease and desist with the CUNT smack and what not.

The false bravado doesn't work.

I'll tone down the bravado and start a thread after today's Final is over.

Wags, Orc and I haven't talked in a while, but he did send me a bar tab. :? Good to see him in the main forum.

Yes.

But it should be called 'Sahkah'

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 5:54 pm

How 'bout a false bravado/sahkah forum. It would be a place where the haytah and fans get together, discuss the usual topics and threaten one another?

Nishlord · Post by **Nishlord** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 5:59 pm

We've already got a false bravado forum. It's called 'Click here for Zyclone's recent posts'
