OT: Anything Goes 32: Topicality? What's that?

[BK]

Sitting in a pub here in Hong Kong and Chelsea Dagger comes on. Didn’t think any of it till the end when some random group of Chinese guys yell “Go Hawks”. Wtf.

Well one of the main reasons I’m on this site is gone. Not too happy.

Poli board nuked?

 

[hawksrule]

Very disappointing.

 

[RayP]

What happened?

 

[hawksrule]

Poli board nuked?

Yep.

 

[RayP]

Well that sucks. I lurked there a good bit. I’d never want to get into the discussion but enjoyed reading it when it was a complete pissing match.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yep terrible to see

Wish we had some advanced notice

Going to miss a lot of threads over there and interacting with some people daily as has been routine for years now

 

[RayP]

Just read their post about it.... that’s some pretty weak shit.

What a shame.

Takes too much time of the moderators? It’s literally stated for years it’s unmoderated.

And the mods on the poli forum are active participants. I’m fairly certain they don’t view it as a burden.

Nothing on this site can ever be truly unmoderated.

Yeah, this is..... odd. Just get some moderators then. Deleting it entirely doesn’t seem rational.

Yes I know, I think you get my point though.

Just kind of comical they advertised it as unmoderated for years then delete it and their explanation is it took too much time of the moderators to moderate it.

Any of our regulars have recommendations on political forums?

Honestly I would avoid them

Outside of HF political discussions are far too partisan and well over the top

Things have gotten worse in recent years with the US political landscape becoming for divided and volatile

 

[hawksrule]

It’s frankly the best forum on the site.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Anyone been playing Black Ops 4?

It’s the best COD in awhile. Hate the no single player.

I been grinding it in my free time on PC. Love the multiplayer and zombies

 

[Illinihockey]

Lets be honest, this forum in general is pretty crappy. The moderation on this particular forum is pretty good but the overall HF site is bad. Its over moderated and the rules are ridiculously restrictive.

Short work week this week.

Going to New Orleans on Thursday:

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Massive fire destroys Dolton home previously owned by Dwyane Wade

That mansion sat empty for years after he and his ex-wife got divorced and had that nasty custody battle

Was best home in my city before it sat empty for years turning into dump

Have you been before? Let me know what you think.

Have not but have high expectations. I think we’ll love it.

Have fun and let us know how you liked it.

I won't say what it is, as I'm assuming she's the only one in the world with this specific last name, but I am working with a lender rep whose hyphenated last name is legitimately 24 letters long.

I mean.... why? That's not remotely convenient! Just combine them if you don't want to favor one or the other!

And yes, her email is [first letter of first name].[entire last name without a hyphen]@[legitimately long name of a lender].com.

Edit: it's so long, I miscounted! 24! Updated! Why?

That being said, I now want to see her kid become an NHLer and have that mess on the back of a jersey.
