I always like to watch an active board during the commercials. But the group at ESPN is so childish and the threads so broken up that I have given up.

Agree, it is not just the childish behavior of the trolls and the regulars who are turning into trolls it is the entire operation of the board. Each time I go over there I have to scan entire lines of posts looking for the most recent. I end up reading the same silly crap over and over again. Then you add the supertrolls with their arguments and one word posts to make you bother reading a thread and you have what ESPN has turned their board into.......CRAP

I never saw the old forums over there, (ESPN) but the biggest problem with the new ones are the people that post. I asked a simple question about what I see as a rule that contradicts itself, and if someone could explain it to me. Out of about responses only ONE person tried to give me an honest answer. Unfortunately this person misunderstood what I was asking about so my question is still unanswered. The biggest problem was the rest of the posters were engaged in what Jim Rome would call a "Smack-off". (That's where posters tell other posters how stupid they and their opinions are.) It appears that most everyone over there is not concerned with educating someone, or an honest exchange of opinions and ideas. They just want to insult someone. Some people make such retarded statements for the sole purpose of baiting others into an insult contest. (My apologies to the truly retarded out there, because I know retarded people are not THAT stupid). So other than being an exercise in futility, the forums over there are doing just fine.

Often good posters won't bother to post over there because the supertrolls, as the chief calls them, will hijack the thread to play silly games with each other. Same group all the time. Randy and all his names, southsiderronny, gsmack and Linda. Everybody knows randy is an asshole but still they answer his stupid posts. Amazes me why people just don't ignore him. Even when it starts to get better, one of them will post something and then it goes downhill. Or Linda will answer randy then a couple long winded wannabees will swap mega posts with her that nobody bothers to read.
The old system made it a lot easier to ignore the supertrolls.

What was your question? Did you get it answered? Re-post it in the general forum if you want, I'll try to answer it for you if I can. I'm usually about half right

Linda is cracking her whip over at ESPN.
Has the usual wannabee writing volume's, not to mention some with brains taking her for real. I am pretty sure the person who writes her statements is one of the ones pretending to make fun of her posts using his real ID.
In her own way she dominates that board now.

I don't mind lindale. Kind of amusing. I picture an 80 year old grandma smoking a stogie typing on an old Hewlett Packard or Tandy computer with a huge monitor that only has a 13" screen with 4 colors. I guess I don't mind trolls that post long paragraphs as opposed to the morons who just post short crap like "Kyle sucks" or "dale jr is gay".

I just came from the ESPN board and believe it or not the troll or stupid posting ratio seems to be down.
I think a large number of the troll names we recognize are the work of just a few different posters. That being said, they have figured out to shut up for a while and let the board get busy again with real postings.
Whatever the reason, it is nice to see posts that make sense.

I mostly skip what she writes.

gsmack must be high or drunk. He is on a rant over there about it is not right that Danica Patrick lives and gets to race and Dan Wheldon had to die. Kind of spooky.
