Why Do You Visit This Site?

I like being around other like-minded Jason Garrett fans.

I'm sure some of these cats here if they knew my home address would wait outside to beat me up lol.....its ok I keep them on there toes .....La Pappy where reality meets the grid-iron tooth fairy....ouahhhhh....

Why would they wait outside...but eventually you have to exit your house....
And no, I am not that type of person to go to someones house or work. You would go on ignore though, which I have came close on about 90% of your posts....

I don't have anyone on ignore. Too entertaining to yank their chains when I'm feeling a bit ornery.

Plus, I just skip over stoopid posts. It's a skill I've acquired after many years of realizing I was getting POed reading ridiculous stuff. So, now I just use the skip method!!

Other than that, I am just here for the beer so to speak.

I'm here for the information also, now that I've complained I should also be clear that there are at least 30-40 posters here that could do a better job than most of the beat writers covering the Cowboys (assuming they would take the pay cut). They went into a different line of work, but its more insightful to read their best posts than a lot of the paid content covering the team.

I've observed the same thing. I rarely read articles about the Cowboys any more because there is much better stuff on here.

Some info sharing, some opinion sharing, even the arguments are not out of control. I feel it can be over-moderated at times, but to be fair, that is probably why the arguments stay tame. I probably visit this site about twice per hour during my day. Good site.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

I ask myself that question every day.

It is part of my parole. I check in here and I don't have to get a job and am allowed to hang out with all the "wrong people".

Given the past 22 years, this site helps with emotional support.

Personally, it would not surprise me just how MANY people have benefitted psychologically by CowboysZone. It is an excellent coping mechanism. Heck, @Reality should charge every member for the free self-help service alone. Just kidding boss. I'm broke.

From my experience on the internet in general, there's no such thing as over moderated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You haven't seen my toe fungus!!!!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Plain and simple.......clean, well-moderated site. Most impressive to me is how rare it is to see personal insults among poster.

I disagree. When you have mostly grown men having a conversation on here and you have to say heck like a 90 year old nun, that's a bit over moderated. IMO

Good grief peoples.

Site rule #1 - You will not publicly question the actions of the staff or how this site is managed.

Let it go. Let it go. Turn away and slam the freaking door already.

The main reason I created CZ was to give Cowboys fans a place to get together to discuss the Cowboys without being harassed and trolled by fans of other teams.

I will admit I never expected Cowboys fans to become so divisive among themselves, but that is more of a reflection of the internet and society as a whole rather than specific to this site. There is way too much "you either agree with me or I hate you" thinking these days throughout the world and that includes the internet.

I guess I am less affected by this because I really don't care which players or coaches we win with. I just want to win. When we don't, I want new coaches and players. That's not because I hate the old ones but more so because I want to see changes that provide a little optimism of some kind for the next season.

I get complaints from users all the time from all sides of arguments. I get people complaining that CZ is too negative and filled with too many haters. I get people complaining that CZ is filled with too many Cowboys homers. In the end, if both sides are complaining, that at least means we're doing something right here

Despite what some people may say about CZ, I think the staff and the users do a pretty good job of keeping the discussions and debates as civil as possible given nastiness you find elsewhere on the internet and on other discussion sites.

Let's face it, no matter how much you love the Cowboys, there's only so much "rah rah" you can listen to with no counter thoughts when we are over 20 years since our last Super Bowl run. No matter how much you hate some Cowboys players, coaches and/or the front office, there is only so much hate and so many rants you can listen to with no counter thoughts without finding yourself leaving the site each visit feeling worse than when you arrived.

One thing I have always said is that "winning solves a lot of problems." When/if the Cowboys ever win another Super Bowl, the atmosphere will improve considerably on CZ. That is, at least until the next season happens and they don't win one.

I think the staff here (not talking about me) does a great job of keeping the homers and haters inside a wide, but manageable, area of civility that helps make this site worth spending our time on each day.

For me, CZ has been around so long that I enjoy socializing among friends and familiar faces who provide brief moments of escape in my busy and sometimes very hectic life.

The users here make the site worth visiting for me because the Cowboys sure haven't helped much lately
