How and why are these old threads about Ash showing up? Is it supposed to be some kind of shaming posters?

Looks like some folks are going back, finding these old threads, then bumping them by calling out certain posters in them.

Actually it’s being done by me, a guy who didn’t like flood when he was hired and thought Ash was worse, but everyone else loved him, so I’m having some fun I told you so moments

Nothing wrong with that. I have done it too.
It’s all good natured fun.

Actually it's not. Read Board Rule #3. I'd think pulling up old threads simply to attack posters is a violation.

I read the rule and it says nothing about old posts. Enough of this participation trophy stuff. People made posts and gave opinions. Some were right and some were wrong. Live with it .
So people are having a little fun over a sports debate, no one is “attacking” anyone. It’s all in good fun. Relax man.

Actually, on most boards other than this one, that I've participated in, you get a warning the first time you necro a dead thread. Second time is a permanent ban.

Omg. If you don’t like the bumping of old threads, why would you click on them? Or why come into another thread that is talking about old threads?

It's not in "good fun" and you know it. It just goes along with your long time never ending negativity about anything Rutgers.

It's quite juvenile behavior by the 1-2 posters doing this, but I don't really get the OP. Is it not patently obvious when an old thread surfaces what is going on?

It is in good fun. Don’t you ever argue/debate with your friends about sports?
I thought Ben Mac was a good hire by the giants and said so. Guess what? He wasn’t and I got my nose rubbed in it.
It’s conversations about sports, that in the scheme of life don’t matter. So yeah it’s all in good fun.

I think he knew the answer before asking.

Yes but I don't say "Remember when you said xyz 3 years ago? Boy were you dumb"

This is the only place I've ever seen where wanting to think the best is considered a character flaw

The sad part about these old threads is how many of the posters from those old threads no longer actively post now. They may have gone over to the other board but they may have given up.

Well, some people find them fun.
I tell you what, I really hope ash has us in the Rose bowl next year and you can bump my old threads saying we we shouldn’t have hired him. I would totally understand and eat my words.

It would be slightly less juvenile if any old threads predicting Ash's impending failure upon being hired were to be resurrected since at least that was a minority opinion back in 2015-16. I would even consider giving a like to the OPs (and similar posts) in those threads if the predictions were fairly spot on.

Would never think to do that. Rather be patting you on the back saying "We did it!"

At any other message board on the internet that will get you banned for life.

Where are the mods???
The olds mods protected the idiots that bashed anyone that saw Flood was worthless. The same clowns are still thinking Ash can turn it around. The "Im a loyal fan and Im better than you" are the ones that need to banned.

Anyone who breaks the rules of the message boards should be banned.

No one wants Ash here but no reason to act like an as whole about it.

Nobody is breaking a rule here. No personal attacks. Just reminding the BS that has gone on here for years. As I said before if you can't take the heat and the payback by being an *** years ago move to the safety of the other board.

Don't get me started. BTW didn't you ban me for my bashing of our fearless, sports hating President?? [roll]
That's it! I've had it with you, you're outta here!!!

I would never, ever ban anyone bashing Barchi. The guy's a friggin' cancer for athletics.
