Randomness Dos

[llipgh2]

I like Pavel's line or reasoning. Not saying we aren't hockey geniuses...but we need guys like a Mikey or Netwolf. They bring info we can't.

At the very least, while there may be a contingent of people on LGP that there is seemingly a collective disdain for, its better to leave with grace. Especially since that place was pretty good for a long time.

[MR25]

lli, yeah, but from what I could tell they removed the mods from it.

[dodint]

Can we make a quick ref for people who changed their names? This is confusing!

Look in the Who Are You thread.

The easy solution is to use the "Location" field in the profile to house the old name for a month or so until we get it. We used to do the same at an old board I used to go to , except we used the Custom User Title field which populates right under the name.

You know, right above where the AVATAR should be.

Well, that might tip them off as well.

[llipgh2]

Is this a hipster emoji? :ugeek:

[Rylan]

I am in favor of no avatar. I love the clean look of this board, and more often than not avatars end up being dumb IMO. :geek:

[King Colby]

I often wondered how much of Mikey's behind the scenes stuff was real, how much of it was made up, and how much of it was just grandstanding

[AuthorTony]

Isn't that the point?

[King Colby]

And yeah avatars mess up the visual appeal - symmetry is gone, everything is a cluster, it's just an eye sore

what were his behind the scenes stuff?

I've always enjoyed mikey's posts even when I don't agree with him.

He definitely has sources through writing for HF.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

oh, are you talking about sources?

I thought you meant "behind the scene stuff" like he murdered someone or something

Just watched the jimmy V 30 for 30. What a great team and a great human being

I'd say he's pretty legit and for sure very knowledgable about the majority of players in and around the league.

[Rylan]

Yea, I respect mikey. Especially before he became a pretty regular poster because he didn't get himself involved with the daily drivel.

[Kicksave]

I hope that mikey and those guys make their way over here eventually.

By those guys, I mean other X&O guys.

[MR25]

The hardest part for mikey, I think, was trying to maintain a level of good discussion with people like Hugo, syphilis and CG who more or less tried to talk over him and wouldn't listen to what he had to say. I think he just got fed up with it, and started lashing out more.

This is pretty accurate.

[Rylan]

Draftnik would be a great person to have around.

HAHAHA there was a poster named syphilis?

[MR25]

No, that was a nickname because their name looked like that and they were like an STD.

It was that poster who took stuff someone said like a year ago and attack them with it and was generally not a pleasant person. Had to have been a woman or a 14 year old, because they were really unbalanced.

ugh I still type letsgopens in the url bar...

Whoa there matey, are you saying all women are unbalanced because obhave and lli can probably beat your assterisk.

That's the vibe I got. He'd see a post and be like, "that's not quite true, here's some knowledge you probably didn't have." Person would respond badly/disrespectful. Mikey would try again. Bad response again. Bewilder Mikey enters hulk mode.

Hulk mode becomes more normal due to the crap we all had to slog through to get to any decent convo.

which still shows that women are unbalanced? haha
