If true, he's wrong. As a libertarian I have an almost pathological need to call out BS wherever I see it, even if it is against my own interests. See look: MyBB is a relatively craptastic piece of message board software ever since it lost its lead developer, who I worked very closely with to make MyBB perform for such a large and active install. As that has slowly rusted into a bigger and bigger PITA to manage, I've had to start programming my own board software to run this site properly and quickly and responsively for the long term. See, I recognize and can articulate a shortcoming in the message board format here. That's why I'm fixing the problem. There's a word for people in business who don't have the ability to see their own flaws: unemployed.

ChicagoMan is an alias of a previously banned poster. He has no reason to be here and has been banished already.

Chip is a long time repeat troll offender who I've already slapped on the wrist a few times. His crappy attitude shows he's learned nothing from a shot across the bow so now I'm directing my aim broadside.

How is any of this power hungry? I understand you're agreeing with me, but I don't agree with your agreement. You're right but for the wrong reasons.

ChicagoMan was obviously the old desert bronco... his commentary is obvious. Chip seems to draw energy from DB and therefore its interesting that once ChicagoMan/DB showed back up it was only a matter of time before they were both banned AGAIN... hahahahaha.... Its your board... you do what you will.. I appreciate being allowed to hang out here...

btw - how is the new version of the software coming along? What direction did you go with? MEAN Stack? PHP? .NET?

I'm really mostly harmless. I don't even like to moderate. But there were a crapload of reported posts on this board and nothing moved them for 3 days. I gave the locals a chance, now I gotta come in and clean up. And occasionally with these trolls you wear a chip on your shoulder and dare them to make it move. And if they do, you smite them right then and there. They either reform their behavior and beg to come back under alias or it's addition through subtraction. But some people *ONLY* understand direct immediate consequence.

GoLang. PHP 7 doesn't know what it wants to be yet. How dare you suggest .NET to a Linux enthusiast sir? For the first time I'm actually genuinely offended.

For this I SINCERELY apologize... hehehe.... I have no experience with GoLang... now I have to go check it out... I spent some time in the MEAN stack world and it was interesting until they came out with Angular2...

Looking forward to what you create...

Personally I wouldn't fit well on twitter. I like to flesh out my thoughts on things beyond quick, short one-liners. And the constant @'s and #'s are distracting.

I know it's popular, and that's fine, but it's not for me.

I am right there with you. I don't mind seeing people's Twitter responses, but I am not on Twitter because when I want to say something, it's almost a lot more than 140 characters long.

You might know him by his other name: Drake Dog (banned)

I prefer to simply call him: banned.

If you have not tried twitter in some time, you should. It is mostly a news source for me and a very good one. You can follow who you want and while yes there are tweets there are mostly links to good articles and video. WMU athletics does a very good job of providing material on there and it is worth going there. Plus for those who are challenged at first by the site, youtube how to use twitter? I know...I know, but there are some up to date videos that really give you an idea of what is going on and it is really much better of a news source than anything we can find locally.

I read Twitter posts but,, I don't have a Twitter account and never plan on having a Twitter account.

In my best Arrow voice....god this board is money. Pure comedy. I’ll get my actual sports talk on social media.
