Damn your threads annoy me

I don't think it's really going to have any affect on the team...they're all professionals and they're aware that ownership changes hands from time to time in this business. I mean, it's not like when the Sabres went bankrupt and people weren't sure what was going to happen to the team. In this case, a billionaire is potentially selling the team to another billionaire, so, nothing to really worry about in regards to who is going to be signing their paychecks.

I think what annoys me the most about 'powerplayer's threads is the fact that I have to look at Pink's nasty, sagging side-boob.

It annoys me since we don't need six threads to discuss one topic. We also don't need a new thread every time something new happens or someone comes up with a new "what if". If we hear about TP going to the owners meeting do we start a new thread or could we simply continue the ongoing discussion in the existing thread? Pose your "What do you think will happen" questions in the established area instead of making a bunch of threads that barely differ in content. Just saying.

I couldn't disagree more.

While some threads are redundant, others that are related to the same topic ARE necessary.

Some of these threads that are to do with a big topic, like the rumored sale, become waaaaay too unwieldy in their size and fragmentation. Ever try to discuss a specific angle when there are 10 other people creating unrelated crosstalk? Not fun.

There are many times where I personally don't add to a thread because the thread has become so chaotic and all-over-the-road, that trying to discuss a specific or important angle is near impossible---unless you start a new thread---which may then be nuked or merged with the already gigantic thread because it's similar in content.

If you're unhappy with the way this board is moderated PP, which you clearly do based on your remarks, you're free to post elsewhere. Nobody is forcing you to be here. We do the best we can to try and keep the boards readable for the majority of the users here. If our decisions on what to merge and combine don't meet with your approval, I'm not sure what to say to you.

I think if you were to have posed this idea of how the team will be effected in a post in the main thread, people would have been more than happy to hypothesize and chime in. The beauty of this community is that unless the topic is in serious need of a good old fashioned thread jacking, we tend to stay on topic (though yes, some of us have ADD ).

This is just a simple poll to get an idea of how people think the team's play will be affected. Mixing this up with a moster thread about the sale in general would be a mistake.

I'm not saying that you aren't entitled to start threads or have a different opinion than I do but it is a clue when several people who have been members of this community for years tell you that you are starting too many similarly themed threads. It's not illegal, just annoying. Carry on man.
