Off Topic: Thank goodness for this place.

I lurk most of the time but this board is way better hands down.

It's too bad it's not more family oriented.

i wish you all would stop posting this kind of thing and actually come over here more often and post so we have more discussion going on here.

Everyone seems to like this board better so we should have more discussions here. A restaurant can't succeed without food, Much like this place can't thrive without discussion.

I like the fact that we can post pretty much whatever we want

And thats exactly the problem. On statistics alone if you have 30,000 people there are going to be some asshats. Unfortunately it only takes a very small percentage of non bathers to fill the room with the malodorous stench of raw sewage.

That's why I have my Falcons discussions here. I might fire off the occasional one liner over there for my own personal amusement if I'm bored or drunk but I can't remember the last time I actually tried to have a discussion. I mean why bother really. Case in point, I have more posts here in leas than a year than I have in a decade over there. Trying to discuss Falcons football over there is like going to an away game in your own stadium

But the point is not really to contrast or compete. For me, if this board did not exist I simply wouldn't have Falcons discussion at all. So cheers to the crew here, I don't care if there are five or five thousand of us, you are filling a need where there would otherwise be a void and for that I am very thankful.

The Game Day Experience here is what I love most about here.

The language here can get pretty foul, but its football. This isnt a forum for little girls or church nuns.

That's true but those non church nuns are an entirely different matter!
