bubba9497 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Everyone is excited and wanting to share a wealth of news posts, which is great...however right now the site is bombarded with viewers trying to catch whats going on in FA and with the Skins, and it's slowing down the site. before posting a new news article 1. Please double check to see if it's already posted. especially if the article is more than a couple hours old, because it is a 99% chance someone has already posted it. Just have a little patience and check first. 2. Be sure to post the true headline in the Title, as well as identifying which paper or website it came from (ex. WP: XXXXXX, or ESPN: XXXXXXXX etc...). Posting a different title makes it easier to miss the thread and double post. 3. Be Polite, if someone shares news articles, don't criticize with little comments like "it sucks", "you pay for this junk", this is a "waste of time". Right now we are so busy that just slows up the site even more, and other viewers click expecting a debatable response, or a funny line... wastes their time with an insult. 4. Don't start a new thread just to make a point about a topic already posted on another thread. 5. Most importantly CLICK ON THE ****** **s, Give something back to the best Redskins site available on the INTERNET ***edit: I am forbidden by google to allow you to say this, but thanks for the sentiment:)~~Blade*** I am not a mod, or in any way a rules enforcer, just offering a little common sense advice to help make the board run a little smoother during the viewing blitz period Accidents happen. I appreciate your time. Thanks and enjoy. (I do not speak for anyone else but myself, and am in no way affiliated with extremeskins ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who doesn't get this part of what Bubba's saying should go to the NEWS section or any other article that he or I post & see how we do it. If you post the source & correct headline, it's alot easier to run that through the search engine & see if it's already been posted. Helps to really cut down on the multi threads of the same article.

BG Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Beter yet, DON'T BOTHER posting NEWS cuz you aren't going to get a scoop award if you are the first and there have been regulars here doing it long enough........

Renegade7 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 i'm getting sick of people coming in a starting a thread on a signing that already has 3 threads before it. It's not cuz i'm mean and insensitive, its becuase i have cable modem AND ITS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE U CAN'T TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO TO LOOK OVER THIS SITE!!!!! good lord! wheee, my opinion, for the next few days BAN anyone who comes on this site and just starts thread without looking to see if was already posted. This is rediculous. I'm not a mod either, but this is starting to get me angry. And u won't like me when i'm angry. ----------------------------------- 0-16, 19-0, skins fan till i die!!!

O.S.F Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Just a suggestion: turn off sig line and graphic in your profile. I dont know much about this bbs software, but typically all the graphic loading hogs bandwidth. Maybe the mods can turn this graphic off on the server side during heavy traffic time. Maybe it's time to send in the checks so Blade can upgrade the server. We might neede that for Monday morning come September... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
