Looks like they locked the thread, no surprise. Surprised it wasn't deleted altogether.

@Tilly i was a member of another site prior to the Chip Kelly hire. Got tired of the BS associated with that place and searched for a new home. Found your epic Kelly thread and was hooked due to the free wheeling nature of that thread but I noticed the constant complaints for that freedom throughout the rest of the site. After looking around more, realized that was a one off so I kept searching and found this place. For the record, I had a good number of posts in that thread. It was great.

All that said, I don’t agree that those restrictive rules help with popularity. It may maintain the current membership but I’d be surprised if it helped it grow much. This place has grown a lot and I think it’s a direct response to how it’s managed.

Anywho, I was always a fan of yours and I don’t agree with any of these dudes here whining about your style of moderating. It fits that site. But you ought to stop by here more often and “stretch your legs”, so to speak.

ooooh...another good one. And ya'll said Byrd had bad comebacks. More like, you have nothing good to retort with.
I'm find it interesting that you felt that me saying I thought you were a girl was an insult. Why else would you hurl an insult at me? Do you think women are intellectually inferior to men? Do the posters back at SG know that you're a chauvinist? Now we know.

The Coaching thread was certainly an epic one off over there. Apparently they have no love for barnyard critters either. Astounded that a grown person would take their diaper rash to another site to vent. This world is in trouble.

I type this from a safe space as defined by Toby, I love my bar

This is a bar atmosphere only because most of the posters here post while theyre hammered as hell. I bet Swonkey has a pint of turkey in his back pocket now

Tilly was probably the best mod for sure over there. No complaints about him. Other mods there though...I really shouldn't say much cause it wont be nice

Hey man. I miss you over there, but have been lurking in your hoops recruiting thread. Good stuff.

I could be mistaken but I don't recall seeing anyone complaining about Tilly's style of moderating. I think that's a strawman he made up (again, unless someone can point to a post I missed, in which his particular moderating was the issue). The issue that I, for one, raised was that Tilly came to this site under false pretenses.

To recap, a certain group of posters from Gator Country quit posting over there a few months back, and switched to this site instead. The group included nearly all of the most prolific right-wing posters from the political forum over there. The exodus caused traffic on that forum to plummet.

So Tilly followed us over here, ostensibly just to make friendly conversation. He indicated that his intention was to post on both sites. However my suspicion was that he was here pursuing some sort of agenda out of loyalty to his "home," as he refers to Gator Country. I was ripped by one of the other Gator Country expats for saying so, and told to take it easy on Tilly.

However, after posting here for a fairly brief time, Tilly went back to his "home" and stopped posting here. Then, in jhbyrd's thread over there that is the topic of this thread here, Tilly said that based on his experience of posting on both sites, Gator Country is the better site. He also disclosed that Ox had offered to make him a moderator here, but he turned it down. That was a needless, sh*t-stirring remark IMO.

So my response to reading his post was that I felt vindicated, because it's apparent to me that the only reason for Tilly's foray onto this site was so that he could have a premise for making his "informed" pronouncement about the comparative superiority of the other site. His subsequent reply to my response was off the mark. Either he intended to re-cast and distract from what I actually said, or he just didn't get it.

Nah, they just don't want to drive more users over here.
I mean in fairness' If I was worried about that, I wouldn't be here. I would just hang out there and rip this place.

No...it was locked because it was silly.
