Does this only apply to Media Related accounts/people?
Or is this referring to everyone?

I would say everyone.
I say this because sometimes I get tired of seeing people post things and then having to precede my post with "if this is true"

BroncoPhilly

I hope he is living well some place watching the broncos. I had a minor broncophilly incident several years ago which prompted my screen name change from oldbronco1. My current name is because I started posting again the night kimbo slice lost to Seth petrazelli.

Bronco Philly doesn't melt down, he makes everything else chill around him so it looks like he's melting.
Right Chuck?

How about we recognize who is giving us the info and exercise some patience due to the fact that they have to work within the guidelines of wmu?

There there, just look up at night, pick out the brightest star, look at it hard and you'll see BroncoPhilly looking back at you, he's never really left you little buccaroos.

Just so long as people don't make something up. present it as fact and that get offended when they can't confirm their story. No need for that kind of behavior.

Are you saying BroncoPhilly is ChuckNorris?

Source!!!!!???!!!
RE: Poll: How should we post rumors/information without a source? - Chipdip - 09-26-2012 09:47 PM
Some people simply love to be critics (does Liam ever show up other than to blow smoke up peoples butts).
Some can't stand it that someone else is more in the loop than they are.
And then of course we have simple petty jealousy. Of course no one would admit to that, but it's out there.
Try this poll question
a. I do not think we should have a recruiting site like Rivals
b. I think the Rivals people do a nice job and hope they continue with it
Note to the confused-
The Rivals guys do this on their own time. They have jobs and are in school. Interviews and press conferences consume an hour to an hour and a half. Writing, editing, adding pics and posting takes another hour or more. These guys drive to away games on their own dime. Keep dogging them and I assure you they'll throw up their hands and say "screw this." And once again our recruiting info, and insider interviews (The 4 part Hawkins interview was great) will come from true rumor and innuendo.
Why do you discourage these young men rather than encourage them. I don't get it.
RE: Poll: How should we post rumors/information without a source? - Nacho - 09-26-2012 09:51 PM
All of the above.
Which brings me to my next question.
Why don't we all post on the rivals site?
Because the forum there sucks.
Why don't rivals guys move to 24/7 Sports?
????? The forums there are great. Easy to use. Better poster rating system. All the recruiting/news information would be in one place. These guys could post their full articles on the board for those to see and it wouldn't be like they were pimping out their articles. I think it would be a lot easier.

It would be virtually impossible for a second message board to pop up and thrive for wmu fans. It doesn't matter if it's rivals or 247, this board has way too many roots.

We moved from scout to here about what.. 6 years ago? No problem.
Edit: I just looked at the first thread on here. 2002 and I'm not sure if that was the first one. Really? Has it been 10 years? Damn.
Edit 2: Looks like it didnt get real active until 2007. So I was close.
