I'll bet you won't find this particular type of learning in other football forums. I can only imagine what a Saints forum would have considering all the Cajuns. From welcoming Number1 to greased pig wrangling, we're going to need more new members to introduce themselves. We could also use a score board to count how many we've scared off.
I consider us well rounded and not afraid to approach any subject, regardless of how ignorant we might be on that subject. There's something for everybody and we learn quickly the ones that want to play and the ones that are just here to discuss the Cowboys.
And that is just fine with me. Some do not have the time to play around and have a limited amount of time to devote to this. Most of us who do play here have the time or we make the time and it seems to lean more away from football for a lot of us. I feel there is just so much I can say about any specific player or the team. Holy Groundhog Day, how many Rico Gathers threads have there been? And Dez has more than when he was a Cowboy.
This site is really different and when I was here once before I didn't like it very much because of all the too serious convo out in the main forum and my style of posting didn't fly here near as well as the old dc.com where posters knew to ignore me. They either played along or passed right on by.
I like the Members Zone and Off Topic much better than the main forum and feel more comfortable being me there than out there. And since my only NFL ball this season is going to be the Cowboys unless they screw it up like they did in ATL, I make these other two Zones my home ports. On the old forum, I don't think that would have flown. If I'd given up on the Cowboys, I would have had to give up on the Forum and that would have been really difficult.
I have no problem admitting I don't just like this, I need this. I need a good fix of my folks every day and if someone would have told me that I would become so attached to people I've never met, I would have called them wacky. Football used to be a good escape from the real world but this site has become more of that and even when we bring the real world in, we're trying to fix it or make fun of it.
