The Internet Message Board Drama.
Apparently a few people find not only this blog, but the entire Blazermania site and it's affiliate boards (http://www.blazerboard.com) to be disloyal to http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers
I find this interesting.
As you can all tell, http://www.blazerboard.com is not heavily used at this time, and probably won't be in the future.
Why is it there then, and why is it affiliated with http://www.blazermania.com ?
Well, here are perhaps, a few reasons.
1. http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssfbreaks on several occasions, making it completely unusable.
2. http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf is often invaded by what is known as a 'troll'. Typically disgruntled Laker fans who keep living back in the year 2000. (You are not living on a Conan O'Brien night show segment, LF's. Back to earth, with you.) Usually they will come in at the start of night and disrupt thoughtful conversation. It generally takes the mods anywhere from one minute, to TWO HOURS to get rid of the trolls and the posts. (although it only takes them thirty seconds to get rid of my asking people if they are on narcotics.) Http://www.blazerboard.com offers an alternative place of discussion during the time that the troll tries to take over http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf
3. http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf mods do not seem very friendly when in regards to site creator, PHATGUYSRULE posting a link to the newest interview/article on http://www.blazermania.com , often deleting the post to a good article, or questionnaire.
4. http://www.blazerboard.com is (I believe) more heavily and objectively moderated. There will be no out of control spazzes like Oregonlive sometimes contain.
I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
Neither http://www.blazermania.com nor http://www.blazerboard.com take away from the hits that the http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers site receives. There are many people from both http://realgm.com and http://www.basketballboards.net that visit only the main page, the Eric blog, and Canzano's blog for information, then return to their own little forums. Many people avoid the http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf forums because they are disorganized or full of spam.
http://www.blazermania.com did not affiliate itself with http://www.blazerboard.com to take away anything from the http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf boards, but simply offer a place to post when http://www.oregonlive.com/forums/blazers/index.ssf is broken or invaded by trolls.

some people just need to chill out a bit.
good article :)
The Blazer forum on Oregonlive is a sensibitchfest. The regulars act like a bunch of overlord douchebags. It's uber pathetic.
