    Oh, I'm always forgetting which teams have roofs. Heh.

    I went to my high school reunion last weekend, and I was amazed at how old people looked because while I look older than I did when I was 18, I think I look much younger than my age. But I got a lot of comments from people on how young I looked, and I commented that it does have its disadvantages. After a long day of running up and down the stairs, hauling arm loads of music here and there, a seat on the bus would be nice, but I don't look 'old enough' for anyone to be so generous.

    We're getting a lot of rain here. Good thing this rain hasn't stretched a bit further north or I'd be watching a screen with 'Rain Delay' on it and that weird non-music in the background.

    okay, now that y'all understand one another, can we call it good and call it a day?

    We can't merge threads into article threads or vice versa, which is why things get locked and redirected. We've merged a ton of threads ... you just don't always see it because you aren't right there when it happens. I can see how it's a bit ... disconcerting ... if you are posting and all of a sudden the thread becomes something else, but honestly, we do it quite a lot, especially when 'big' news breaks and everyone rushes in to talk about it. And as for this, the questions was 'Who is coming up?' I don't think it's a stretch to have that answer and continue with that answer in the same thread, especially considering that MANY of you were hoping it would be Meyer. To me that was a very logical segue and was indeed being discussed, so to me, it was a no brainier to merge them. Really, not a big deal. And, it's been done lots, you just never were right there for it.
  8. Squirrel
    It's been done that way before. And Dave's thread was only 18 posts in and I knew there'd be an article thread up before too long anyway, so it was just easier to consolidate from the get go.

    Rebuffed your invites??? When did I get invites? Lol! No way I'm gonna rebuff that now next time you are in Chicago or I'm in New York!

    Sweet, but underneath it all, Dave loves us. He really does. Can't judge a book by its cover and Dave is a pretty smart guy. Things don't change if you don't squeak about them. And I don't mind people bringing issues up in this forum ... whether it's to like something, suggest something, trash something, or whatever. I'd rather these discussions take place here, where everyone can see them and comment, than disrupt the baseball forums with non-baseball stuff. Some people sometimes go a bit over the top when they are trying to make a point. Just gotta take it all in stride.

    Lots of reasons ... one, to more accurately reflect what a thread is about; two, to correct misspellings (i.e. Brunanski ... but I left that one on purpose because I'm a brat); three, no clickbait; four, after a thread is in a few pages, it might change direction, or the news of the day changes it (ie 'Who will be called up?' changes to 'Who will be called up? It's him!'), so we want to help direct flow better. Sometimes we get requests to alter titles from the original poster for various reasons.

    If we had a system where conversation could more easily be merged, I'd love it. But this is how it goes. Again ... then we should have 3-4 different threads on the same topic? REally? What's the answer here? Let the 3-4 threads on the same thing just go off with people having to repeat posts? We have a lot of that as it is when threads overlap, but there were two disccusions on Meyer coming up going on ... merged. End of story. When the article comes up ... that becomes the main thread for discussion and the other gets locked. I don't like it, but that's how it is.
  13. Squirrel
    The title of the thread was changed to reflect the call up ... 'Who will it be? It's Meyer!' I think was there. No need to go through 6 pages ... but you will be merged if you start a discussion that is happening elsewhere. It's how it goes. There is no need to have 3-4 different threads with the same discussion. I know you like to start threads right and left, and that's fine ... but this topic was already being discussed so it was merged. Simple. But it doesn't really matter because as soon as an 'official' article comes out, we are instructed to close the non-article thread to continue the discussion in the article thread. That isn't something I particularly like, but it's how this system works.
  14. Squirrel
    See above ... when we get an 'official' article that comes out by one of the writers ... everything continues in the article thread. We used to be able to merge the two but now can't. It's not a perfect system, and one I don't particularly like because, well ... I don't ... but the idea is to not have 3 or 4 different threads going on the same thing.
  15. Squirrel
    Dave ... if you read through that entire thread it was who will be called up in his place? Not about Tonkin per se, and many there were calling for Meyer to be called up ... and then news of Meyer was already announced on that thread and there was an ensuing discussion going, then you ... without looking ... start another thread. Besides ... once the 'official' article comes out, it gets locked anyway to continue the discussion there. That isn't my 'rule' btw, that's just how it is ... but we really don't need 3 or 4 different threads on the same topic.
  16. Squirrel
    It messes up the flow when this news was already announced in another thread and there was already an ongoing discussion there. Then you start another? Now we have 3 threads on this? Four with the added article thread. Continue the discussion there. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/18860-time-for-meyer/

    Thanks for breaking the news! This is awesome!

    I haven't really been annoyed by the auto-play ads on the site for some time. The expandable ads on my phone, however ... annoying! It actually blocks content.

    This is the forum to bring up these issues. Baseball forums are for baseball. This is the forum for site issues. It's not being 'relegated' anywhere to be forgotten. You can also send a direct PM to Brock, who handles these issues for the site.
  20. Squirrel
    Which is why I am not correcting the misspelling of Bruno's name. I think it's fitting to leave it that way.
  21. Squirrel
    If I didn't know you were being tongue in cheek, I'd delete this part of it. The rally roger I liked ... ask Bark ... the Olsen twins, not so much, and I wasn't alone. And what is said in game threads needs to stay in game threads.

    Squirrel replied to DaveW's topic in The Sports Bar

    I mostly agree with this. But I think the negative response Obama receives from the public has every bit as much to do with the color of his skin as it does his politics. The amount of disrespect he has been shown is the lowest of any president, republican or democrat, and that is not mostly because of his politics imo. And yes, racism isn't hating another race, but there is certainly plenty of hate that bubbles along with it in certain circles. I think hate is taught right along with it.
  23. Squirrel
    About what?
  24. Squirrel
    Lol. How did I know that's what would happen?
  25. Squirrel
    Losah! (But no more Olsen twins!)
