Boneyard clearly has its faults.

The Boneyard, albeit is an excellent source of WCBB news; however, with that said, anyone who remotely criticizes UCONN WBB, especially Geno, incurs the wrath of the board to a point where several posters have been needleslly banned. I am a member as a UCONN fan.but seldom if ever post, rather just lurk as they say. I find this board much more receptive and civil to opposing points of view than the Boneyard who are way too sensitive to someone who even remotely posts something they disagree with.


You're an example of how CharlieBBall should have acted

While definitely a UConn fan, you aren't as "in your face about it." You don't just start a bunch of threads about UConn, then try to suggest that you did so to ask for comparisons with ND, even though you didn't. Also, many of the times that you post about UConn, it's in defense from a comment from a ND fan, which is definitely fair. Also, you try to come across as informative and not just pushing UConn. Plus, you established yourself on the board before starting threads.

My general rules for posting on other teams' boards are:

1. Be polite and don't just start threads talking up your own team. Generally, post mostly to defend your team, and do so by actually defending your team, not attacking theirs.

2. Don't attack the other team (at least not much). Generally, it's better to build up your team than try to "raise" your team by tearing down theirs. If you beat them, it's because your team played better, not because theirs sucked.

3. When you do start a thread either make it about their team or have a clear tie-in between your team and theirs in the thread.

I can't say that I've followed these rules 100%, but I do try.

Of course, on neutral boards it's a different story.


Nice to hear, friend! Never knew you were a member.

If it's not a secret, what's your handle there?
