How is avoiding the banter any different than me skipping debates on baseball players from 40 years ago?

Posted on September 3, 2026 at 12:17:41 PM by BBA

Feels like a lot of stubbornness to me. This board is thriving. Trolls are gone. Taco is gone. Boards2go was just down for a month. The site is easily hacked.

Sure we can’t agree that posting there over this board is at least a little weird?

Thread:

I think jj put it best on why some guys post on B5 but not here... - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 10:57:26 AM
- Ohhhh, I *understand* why they post there. (And only there) I just wish it weren't the case that they weren't more tolerant of the bullshit here - By Alpo September 3, 2026 at 01:05:47 PM
- Agree. Easy enough to scroll past, but the fake masculine tough guy shit is tiresome. However there are other schticks I find humerous and worthwhile* - By mtb September 3, 2026 at 12:17:30 PM
  - Good post. I would add posters constantly shitting on Michigan.* - By MasterBates September 3, 2026 at 12:20:53 PM
- Terrible post. Board 5 sucks* - By Poster P September 3, 2026 at 12:09:52 PM
  - take it up with jj* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:12:22 PM
    - I didn't read his post. Yours was awful* - By Poster P September 3, 2026 at 12:13:40 PM
      - Lol, you are growing on me.* - By MasterBates September 3, 2026 at 12:34:27 PM
      - which one? lots of awful ones to choose from* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:15:14 PM
        
        You must be quite slow. The one I responded to* - By Poster P September 3, 2026 at 12:15:52 PM
        
        OK, but all I did was paste a jj post from earlier on the board. That's awful?* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:17:22 PM
        
        I’m tired man. You win* - By Poster P September 3, 2026 at 12:18:01 PM
- This board is 50% politics, is that an issue, or nah?* - By MasterBates September 3, 2026 at 11:39:36 AM
  - possible, but not that I am aware of* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:12:45 PM
- So stubbornness has nothing to do with it? This board is radically different than when B5 was created. * - By BBA September 3, 2026 at 11:33:45 AM
  - agree, that board has zero activity and this board has solved the issues of the past.* - By crumbs September 3, 2026 at 12:19:26 PM
    - not all of them* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:20:08 PM
      - Then go to Bored 5.* - By crumbs September 3, 2026 at 12:35:32 PM
        
        I like 'em both* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:36:12 PM
        
        Sounds like you’d be happier there. Nikos can use the break too.* - By MasterBates September 3, 2026 at 12:39:44 PM
      - You can submit enhancements to Nikos for the 100th time.* - By MasterBates September 3, 2026 at 12:31:16 PM
  - The posting volume is so radically different. B5 has never been a “dangerous trap” in the way this board can be… - By Craig September 3, 2026 at 11:38:57 AM
    - I can see some of that, but I think many use this board as a primary new sources for Michigan spots, politics, current events, etc - By BBA September 3, 2026 at 11:47:14 AM
      - They surely lurk this board for the same reason. They just wish to avoid the juvenile banter. * - By Spirit September 3, 2026 at 12:05:44 PM

      - ^This, especially the title & first sentence.** - By kccambo September 3, 2026 at 11:52:27 AM
  - no, I think it is just what jj said* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 11:35:03 AM
    - Your take loses a lot of credibility if you try to maintain stubbornness has nothing to do with it. - By BBA September 3, 2026 at 11:39:50 AM
      - fwiw I believe he also posts on other fora, so the effort is appreciated in more than one place* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 12:11:57 PM
- Exactly * - By Spirit September 3, 2026 at 11:29:14 AM
- There are only about 5 people who only post there - By Rich September 3, 2026 at 11:27:28 AM
- I get it; the Taco tax was real, and iterations of it have shown up.* - By kccambo September 3, 2026 at 11:21:47 AM
  - lol...it was danny who coined the phrase Taco tax, iirc* - By ajs September 3, 2026 at 11:32:58 AM
    - It was perfect :). That written, much of that stuff has been cleaned off this board.** - By kccambo September 3, 2026 at 11:38:15 AM
- Yup. - By JoeMama September 3, 2026 at 11:14:08 AM
