| We've had some folks over at MLive show some interest in joining us over here. One in particular was OstegoRocks. Before I open the gate to some of the 'decent' opposing posters, I want to get everyone's input first. If allowing any of them in here will negate the purpose of this site, in your mind, then we simply won't do it. (I've worked too damn hard to watch this thing crumble now ). So, I leave it up to you. (By the way, if you vote yes to allow some in, post the names of folks you would like to see. Maybe more importantly, post the names of folks you DON'T want to see....AZ, msutrader, etc., those we know.)

| of the haters. You know them.
If we could get good posters. I'll throw out goodbar and mag150 for just a couple. In my mind Cali would be a given.
Other names you don't even have to ask about.
Basically if they are dissing this forum on MLive, we don't want or need them. | |

| I was unaware of his whole story until this am.
As I echoed to Dog, I'm leaving this decision completely up to the forum as a whole. I may admin, but I honestly look at this site as a group 'project'. Democracy in its truest form will dictate this decision.
I'll leave the poll up through the wknd. After that, we'll tally votes and that will be that.
So, vote!
As always, Go Blue! | |

| I certainly don't mind a little friendly competitive talk, but I hope that you have a short leash with those that you invite and can ban them by IP and not just by screen name. I can't fathom how many names some of the trolls have. | |

| Subject: The popularity of this site will be immense Thu Jan 26, 2012 8:02 pm | |
| This site will grow significantly based on a simple theme of sharing Michigan sports. It works great on Rivals. Allowing these trolls to participate will compromise that foundation. WhatsYourDeal, Otsego, MSUTrader and the list goes on and on. WhatsYourDeal operates under dozens of nic's.
Stay the course and this site will blow up.
GO BLUE! | |

| We need your vote, folks. Poll will close Sunday night. _____________ 'Dog, I think that could definitely be the way to go if we end up split-decision....which looks very, very possible at this point. Great idea, thinks for the input. _____________ Side Note: I'm glad no one has chosen C so far. I appreciate that, friends. | |

But ADMIN and MODERATORS can delete and ban them as soon as they are weeded out.

About 6 years now, first game as a holder was Appy State!!! Minus the whole Appy thing...that's awesome. My father was on the list for years (before it was transformed into the donation/point system). We used to get those 3-game packages that all the people on the waiting list were offered. Nothing like having the same seats, but it was still nice to have 'dibs' on some tix before they hit the secondary market. I wish they still offered those (maybe they do). Anyway, I'm a stubhub and craigslist freak for tix these days....and I must admit, it isn't too bad. I took the gf to 5 games this year, combo of home and away. Western - Think I got a pair for about $112 (basically face). ND - $500 for the pair (ouch. But well freaking worth it in the end to be there) On the road at NW - she bought the tix for my bday....she has expensive taste, so I never even asked how much she paid. On the road at UofI - Bought a pair of tix for $50 (awesome!!!!!!) Ohio - Bought 3 for that game, taking my little brother up as his xmas present. He had never been to an Ohio game. Buying the odd quantity really hurt me price-wise. Think that was around $550 or so (still not terrible for The Game). Either way, it was a great season to spend the money on. I've never been to that many in one season (3 was the most, with the packages or just scalping). Once I get my business really running, I look forward to donating and hopefully landing season tix. | |

My wife is a teacher and one of her co-workers parents had tickets but were getting to old to go, he was not a fan and offered them to us!!!! I split them with another one of her co-workers while his two boys are at UM. I was at Western (have a daughter that is a freshman there so that was fun), ND, SDSU, and Neb. I also started my own business recently. What is it that you do?

| pretty certain if they show up and behave they would be welcome.
And I don't mean they have to bow to Michigan, just not get like (that forum down south!)
But I'm not sure we really want to go out "inviting" people.
I too wouldn't mind the 3 you mentioned plus Brutus and Talisman.
Mag150, greenbar, and even stamthebomb are ok if you don't get into tirades with them.
So anyways, let them find it and come. | |
