Why Do You Visit This Site?

[CouchCoach]

I was joking!!!!!

I was on the Texans site, and they killed it by extreme overmoderating.

However, I completely disagree w/ you about the cussing thing. Why in the world is it so important for you to cuss? I seriously don't get it. Is it that hard to refrain?

I cuss in real life myself. Prolly more than I should!!!!

It is merely a form of self expression that too many internalize as a personal affront to them, a sign of a lack of respect. That's just how self-important people have become. Words, they're just words.

The amusing part is that the term "family site" is used as the reasoning, as in children. Anyone checked the children's language on social media or at school? We are like 90 year old nuns compared to them. And don't try selling that "who did they learn it from", they learned it the same way I did, from the other kids. Ironically, it is the first thing to make us feel like an adult.

They need to push cussing way down the list of how people are being rude to each other.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment!! Just kidding! I love this site as I get all the latest Cowboys' news. I also enjoy reading other people's opinions, and some are very entertaining!

Entertaining? Entertaining? Like we are here to ... entertain you?" How are we entertaining!

Been here since forever.

She said "some" and did not mention any specific posters.

There are some very knowledgeable posters on this site as the OP said.
I'll admit to getting caught up in foolish arguments but have learned to hit the ignore button as I'm sure some have with me.
It's a real study in social psychology.

More or less similar to driving habits. If you want an instant social-contagion insight into someones personality and character, hang out at an airport car rental counter at 7:30 am on Monday morning - wow.

To cheer on my Cowboys and gain insight into how a pro team functions. Camaraderie.

I see your a social scientist yourself even if trained or not.

I come here because I finally realized that staring at my yard at 2 in the morning is really boring.

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.

really there are some really good posters with insight you might be one Kaiser

I sent him an invite and his mom just passed away

Well damn, thats unfortunate. Poor guy

 

[The Fonz]

I really don't care much about cowboys news or who is the best player I lost that interest long time ago.Sport is too corporate for my liking nowadays.

I have been coming here since the.net days for one reason( the people in this site is like a family )
you might agree or disagree on some issue but main core is without the people in here it won't be as fun

 

[Silver N Blue]

This is Cowboys family at its finest...dugh...

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I agree with your comments. Here are some of my reasons:

1. Content. The vast information possessed by this collective group is second to none.
2. Diversity of opinions.If everyone agreed this would be a boring place. Often the minority view actually ends up being the correct view.
3. Personalities. Some of you have one hell of a sense of humor.
4. Intelligence. Some of you have an incredible football IQ and I have learned a lot from some of you.
5. Train wrecks. Some posters here are like watching a train wreck. You know you shouldn't look but you cant help yourself. After you read their posts you feel dumber for having read their drivel.
6. Friendship. I feel like I have made some "friends" through this site, even though we don't meet and have a beer (which should probably happen).
7. Current information: This site gets you breaking news faster than anywhere else.
8. Behind the scenes information. You cant find that private, unknown stuff anywhere else.
9. Activity. You get pretty much instant feedback, regardless what side you are on. Its like throwing a pebble in a pool. You get instant ripples.
10. Spirited debate. Its healthy.
11. The Dez Fan Bois. It is funny to watch their ever changing excuses about Dez. Ha Ha Ha.

Good post!

Need more centerfolds or I'm outta here.

To expand on my first post, proper moderation is key to any forum short and long term success.

Other places would get too hostile between posters and you can't tell me that it wasn't getting personal. It was either a lack of moderation or they had sides in the beef which just lead to constant thread derailing.

I'm on a specific vehicle site where the Admin/Mods sort of drifted off. One I could understand due to a family tragedy, but the majority just left and never got new ones. It's the wild west on there now, which definitely prevents a lot of new posters from sticking due to the **** talking. It's becoming a ghost town as OG owners either sell the truck or get tired of the stupidness.

CZ has a very good moderation. I don't see mods taking sides, or at least being obvious about it. They can get called out but respond without using mod powers etc. Any bad quarrel is shot down quickly before too much animosity usually forms.

Which is why I'm on here just about daily. Sooner than later I'll be a supporter cause I truly like how this place is run.

That and proper use of the subforums lol. They are run properly and the zoners know where to post stuff 90% of the time lol.

Seen this part split another board/forum........next thing mod cliquish certain posters attacking certain members that disagree with their posts.

I like that if I don't come in here for a day two if too busy, I can come to page 8 of a thread, not read the rest, and say "because there is no site better at presenting Cowboy information and discussion"

That and I figured out how to get past my work-blocker

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I love how you guys play the victim and are obtuse to how others might consider your characterizations as insulting too.

You should try debating points as opposed to others challenging your opinions.

Easier said than done........lol

 

[jday]

@jday has some awesome write ups. There are others too but he came to mind while scrolling through the posts

Thank you sir. That is very much appreciated!

 

[Section446]

Good place to discuss our favorite team?

 

[kento40]

I still see debate. There was a time where less was said by the Homer's but once the fusillade of hate filled the pages the resistance rose up to protect the mother land.

I don't know why I love this, but I love this.
