Than the GQ. There is nothing but bickering and whining over there. The staff and reporters are good but I am tired of all the baggage. The 247 guys have handled this coaching search the best! I have found myself checking this site a lot more often than Volquest and I have not been disappointed. W/R/K, thanks for the hard work!

Thanks for the kind words, Justin!
I've said this many times before, but the people on our board is awesome. Even when things are tough, this board is much more civil, friendly and full of constructive discussion than almost any other board you'll find.

There is one major exception: the Cardinals vs Cubs debate always draws some strong responses, especially since Ryan is a diehard Card and Wes is a Cubbie despite their long list of failures...

I feel the exact same way. Used to have a membership there but never wanted to post because of all the bickering and whining. Im glad I made the switch, and thanks to these guys because they do an excellent job and have been great with all there updates on the coaching search.

I agree, I have been a member of tos for three years now, my account is somehow messed up where I cant post. I had a mod just a couple months ago try and help but were not able to fix it, and I have sent many emails reguarding this and have not had any response.

And that's saying something, because you're on the board.

I admit I'm a bit backed up on PMs during the coaching search, but I will address that ASAP.
Y'all are the best. Thank you. I mean that. If this place were a nightmare to moderate, I'd go crazy.

Same here. Made the switch and haven't regretted it for one minute.

Well, wherever there is people, there is whining and bickering.

Now that I have everyone's attention, what are the two little checks for at the top of the thread? One of them has a plus and the other is plain. Also, how does the up vote and down vote work? I saw something the other day about someone was out or only had a few left. How many do you get?

FBG, there is a little smiley face to the right of the "Post Reply" box - click on it and you can see the big selections of emoticons. Welcome to the Board!
