Bring Back LOTS

[HALL85]

You had phone conversations and did business with people you had no prior connection to just because of LOTS?

Personal business…lol…one poster represented long term care insurance….and yeah, having our SHU connection counts for something.

Whatever happens to Barone Sanitation, I gotta be kept on. I need that W2. As you can see, I'm facing a long convalescence here, and Barone is my secondary insurance carrier. I need it.

And because you asked, another poster was an executive for a software company that had a division that employed autistic people to perform repetitive tasks…something that was a wonderful program but required very specialized onboarding and training. So LOTS wasn’t all bad.

Actually I didn't ask, but since you bring it up, was that software company called Webistics?

No…based in Lehigh Valley.

Maybe I should grab a fire extinguisher. Heard that friend of yours had a spontaneous combustion in his company.

I respect JD's decision to not want to add extra work on top of current demand to moderate another forum. Moderating the Trove and the Pirate Crew are more than enough time and effort, I wouldn't want to have to add a 3rd forum take away from his efforts to improve the 2 sites which bring all of us here.

I am with you 100%, but this board isn't even moderated as it should be. You and <20 other posters are worth reading, because the posts aren't overly optimistic or scathingly critical -- over and over and over again. It seems like a lot of what goes into moderating a board is "too much work."

Hi Bobbie, thanks for the shout out. The new moderator has made it clear it was his decision to discontinue the board. It took a year to come clean, but the truth always sets you free.

This thread was a bittersweet reunion of sorts, up to and including Hall85 doing fantasy business with fantasy people. He never disappoints.

I hope you are well and will be attending games this year. I will be back for another season. Like everyone else, I can’t stand the new NCAA business model but I still support the Pirates. If they put forth a team, I will be there to watch.

"put forth a team?" An endorsement from Bob is akin to Kamala's for El-Sayed. Please move this thread to LOTS.

Seems there's a strong common denominator with every single thread that gets locked. I won't mention any names since donnie already did.

You should have been here for the "good old days."

The problem is also that "political views" are converging with sports like never before so it shows up on the free board very easily, especially with no LOTS board and during the off-season when there’s little to talk about.

Don't miss it at all. It's basically just a forum where misinformed & gullible narcissists think they have the super power to actually change someone's mindset with their overly liberal or conservative views.

I was. Longtime lurker since the Captain era.
