Grandpa maybe thats what we call old people in my family..

Wrong. I'm considerably younger than you lol. I joined when I was like 13 or 14.

One forum is basically the group that trolled Hos to the point of leaving the Zone, and the other is the forum Hos started after he left lol.

They're both dead too.

Hos forum isn't dead.

It's not like here, but there's content/

Idk I haven't visited it in a long time but it was dead then.

Anything that was posted was the same broken record as here, more or less.

Booze man still posts here once in a while under another name. It is not me and I am not saying who it is.

When you get an answer like that, he is trying to hide something.

I hope you mods don’t think this is aimed towards you. I’m very grateful for the work you do, and the time you spend. @Reality I’ve been a fan of yours, and hopefully a forum friend of yours since 2006 so this has nothing to do with you.Im eternally thankful for the work you’ve done. . It’s nothing but a love for the site, and a love of the Cowboys that have made me decide to say this… I’m sure I speak for a multitude. At least I hope I do.

It’s time for CZ to be the most awesome and most amazing Cowboys fan forum on the internet again. What has happened to this place? I get it, I’m as disappointed as you are with the team. I wish everyone from the FO, to the QB, to the staff, and all the other players would bring glory back to the Cowboys.

With that being said. Every single thread does not have to be about how much you love, or how much you hate Dak Prescott. Every post doesn’t have to end with the same argument. It’s beyond tiring and has driven many great fans away from the site.

All of you, the people who think he’s the best, and all of you who think he’s the worst need to stop trying to argue that point in every single dang thread! You’re not going to change anyone’s mind.

At one time a few mods would warn people not to make a thread a Dak thread. Some even got benched when they broke the rule. Where did that rule go? We need it back immediately!

This is a Cowboys fan site. We don’t have to agree about anything other than we are all fans of America’s Team! You’re not a better fan , and he’s not a worse fan than you because you don’t agree. The fact that most people take time out of their busy lives to talk about the Cowboys, should be enough for everyone to realize that the person you’re arguing with might not agree with you but they are still a fan!!They still have a right to express their thoughts and opinions.

It’s ok for all of us to have our own opinions, it’s ok for you to argue and debate how you feel. But why in a thread about the Defensive Line do you have to discuss Dak and remind us all how you feel about him? Why do you have to talk about Dak when we are discussing Trevon starting practice again? We don’t need your opinion on Dak when we are talking about Mize Zimmer having a different approach than DQ!!!

Mods, please bring a change to this place. Stop the madness. You have the power. I don’t want to act like I have an answer for it to be 100% effective, but I have some serious suggestions on how to begin the process.

I just want this to once again be the best Cowboys Fan Site on the planet like I know it has been, and how it should be.

Go COWBOYS!!!!

TLDR: OP needs to start his own forum. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

I was just guessing at what your "Old" name was....

 

[OGSixshooter]

I don't know about past management but...I much rather the current leadership. I've made 100000 posts - and counting - on online forums and I've been kicked off of 1 or 2 boards (including this one about 15 years ago lol).

Bottom line: Most management tends to pick a side and then run the losing side off the board. This board allows a balance.

Free speech is not FREE...it costs in tolerance and division. But the alternative is FAKE CONFORMITY...so...I value places where they are willing to pay the coin for free and unscripted opinions. The goal is NOT to have a Kumbaya board...as if once that happens it will be good forever and ever. The GOAL is to have a place where the honest opinions of Cowboys fans can be voiced...and to discover how we all feel about those opinions. The latter is unscripted, organic and real...and those places will always have an audience. The stuffy HOMER boards that demand fandom are TRASH.

 

[OGSixshooter]

There’s nothing balanced about this pls right now. We don’t all have to share the same opinions but we surely can all respectfully disagree with each other. It’s currently chaos.

And order would be...what? And "order" according to whom?

These well-intentioned goals are just a trojan horse for everyone feeling like you. No...the jungle is not evil or good...it just IS. And human feelings about things is the jungle...if you allow honest discussion...it truly IS WHAT IT IS.

Yeah, this is a Dak post...you can run but you can't hide.

The mods have always been fine.

The problem is the volume of nonsense like this last paragraph makes it impossible to keep up with.

They're both dead too.

Who were you before you came back as Mac_MaloneV1?

Was that smoke for me? Please say yes.

Yes I literally quoted you.

That last paragraph is pointless drivel.

When you get an answer like that, he is trying to hide something.

He has always sounded very familiar. A lot of commonalities with a current prolific poster. The guy running after #6 puts off a similar vibe.

Not that it bothers me. It's entertaining.

lmao ok Columbo

I haven't posted on my other account for years. I just changed it because I had so many people on my ignore list that the board was unusable when I logged in again.

3. All opinion forums get nasty from time to time.

This right here. I've never been on an online forum related to any topic that doesn't get straight up combative at times.

You just have to live with it and avoid the threads where the arguments are occurring. Just by doing that you can avoid the worst of it.

9.5/10 times just from the thread title I can determine the civility of the discourse going on in there and if it something I don't want to partake in, I just don't click anymore.

I've come to the point where I think it is better to under moderate than over moderate as it leads to more authentic discussion.
