Glad to be here and thanks Ragu for setting this place up. Any chance I can get my 3,358 post count from JI so I can fit in with the cool kids here?

We'd have to censor the shit out of this place for Tapatalk and we don't want to. Mobile is very user-friendly. |

Just signed up.
Between this and JN I should get my fill of Jet depression. Thanks for setting this up Ragu. Any of the JI fantasy football guys in here.
Look forward to a league in this forum as well.

I think too many of you guys feel like you have to polarize the decision... like, in order for you to be happy with Ragu's site, you have to take a dump on JN or whatever other alternative there is. I post on a handful of boards, they all come with their pro's and con's... the adamant "I belong to this tribe, all others are shit" reeks of insecurity. They are message boards, lighten the fuck up. I should have worded my post better, and left the part out about JN. I was just try refer to the posting styles, and how JI allows more lude behavior. Like you said there are pros and cons to every site. Liking one better than another doesn't make you insecure, and you're reading way into my post if you think "taking a dump on JN makes me feel happy with Rugu's site". What I was trying to say is when you post somewhere for a long time you get to know the people and build friendships. It's inevitable. JI and JN are good sites in their own right, and have tons of knowledgeable poster, but still different. It was nice to see Rugu and others put this together for everyone so we could continue what we had on JI. I'm pretty sure they feel the same way otherwise they wouldn't have wasted their time. No need to lighten up here. The insecurity comment goes beyond just you, all you did was sound like many guys where my statement is spot on, if it doesn't apply to you then don't take offense. No harm meant. |

I post on a handful of boards, they all come with their pro's and con's... the adamant "I belong to this tribe, all others are shit" reeks of insecurity. They are message boards, lighten the fuck up. Good post. I've never really understood the "If I post on THIS site, I have to hate THAT site" idea. And, it works both ways, there is/was a ton of dislike by JN posters for the JI site. In fact, it's what drove many of them (you?) to JN from JI...they really didn't care for some of the moderators, posters or maybe Sean. Everyone has their own gripes and reasons, and that's fine. But I'm cautiously optimistic that that won't happen between ragu's site here and JN. There will always be some people who either don't get or don't like the brand of humor, self-deprecation, and randomness that was the JI hampur - Guys like DICKHEAD and SG3 go out of their way to trash JI and put down the Hampur crowd, and that's fine because those are exactly the types of people I don't think we really want here. But again, most of the folks at JN I actually like and I was disappointed that they had left JI in 2008. But we're here now....it's different...guys like Ham are long gone and hopefully don't come here, this isn't Ballbather's site, etc. So I feel like this is a fresh start and I see zero reason for any animosity between this place and JN with the exception of a handful of posters who seem to have had trouble just about ANYWHERE they've gone. And, I do remember you from JI, Dr. Zaius / Integrity 28,....but it's been a long, long time....I think it was the Herm and/or Mangini days. In any case, hope you stick around. And if not, I'll see you on JN every once in a while. I think with guys like Crusher and I being fans of both JN and this version of the Hampur, it can mitigate some of the polarization. For a lot of people though, they need polarity in order to establish a sense of belonging. Like politics. Can't change that. I originally joined JI during the bongo59 "Jets are trading up for Reggie Bush" draft. I had been on the ESPN Jets board and TGG.com before that. JN works for me, but this gives me a channel back to dialogue with many of you peeps that I miss from the foundational Hampur years. |

His 7-team trade rumors the day before the draft were the thing of legend. |
