Yes. Do it. Just get the parameters in writing. This is a nice place to hang out. The only problem is that there is just not enough traffic, which results in a lack of fun posts/ideas. Best part of the JI heyday was all the various idiots chiming in and creating a buzz. This is kinda where I’m at too. At the point where we’re at we might as well start a Whatsapp group. I haven’t been posting or visiting much. Partly because of work but also because you all bore me except for a few. There I said it. Usually, when I check in, there are no members online in The Hampur with only a few guests reading. And when members do participate, it's usually the same couple of folks.

Not for nothing - the Jets sucking terribly for two years has drained overall enthusiasm. If things go well in Jetland traffic will build. It was Rex's ascendancy that really drove growth over at JI.

This. Its simply it. Everyone is rightly disgusted by the jets. I didn't even watch one full game last year. Never has that happened before. And if McClown is starter I will not watch again.

Me too - I was in here a lot less. Saw a few games but missed a ton - espy after McC broke his hand. We're on the upswing! I can feel it!!

First Jet game I saw live (1983) Jets were up 21-7 vs Atlanta. Billy White Shoes Johnson caught a TD pass and ran a punt back for a TD in the 4th and the Jets lost miserably 27-21 IIRC. My first time at a stadium and I felt gutted.

I meant that we were all hopeful after that magical season. And every year since. I started following the team around 1965. Good Lord. I actually remember that game. Had a season ticket for half the season so might have been there, too. Just can't recall.

Ok, my take. I love the idiocy here. You horse’s asses make me laugh.
In the hay day of JI, the main page was about football. Sure there were a lot of idiots but you could go there and occasionally see some good Jets talk. If you wanted idiocy, you could go to the Hampur. Lots of laughs there. Sure some of the mods were assholes but on the whole, the Hampur had some relaxed rules.
Again, I love this board but it is probably the least user friendly board of them all. We start out with welcome dickheads. Funny? Of course. But if you are looking to get more traffic, it’s gotta turn a lot of people away before giving it a chance.
Then anyone who comes here sees very little talk about the team. I get that the Jets suck but there simply hasn’t been enough football talk. It has picked up since free agency and the draft getting closer.
Unlike the hay day of JI, this board is more about the Hampur and less about football.
I’d hate to see the board die but if we want it to succeed and getting more traffic is the way to do that, we need to make the football part of the board better. Maybe change the name of the board to something that is more Et related and make the Hampur what it once was, a diversion away from the main football page.
But what the hell do I know.

Cant disagree with any of that.

I used to make this argument over on JI when people complained about The Strip being negative. The mood of the board reflects the team's performance. If we were 12-4 every year it would be a circle jerk.

i for one am shocked that the demented post-alcoholic vision of an angry violent roided-up ex con with barely suppressed homoerotic tendencies and blatant divorce-murder rage did not take off on the intherwebz like gangbusters
da fuk?
