Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 873148, member: 237"] I am not sure who you mean by newer posters. I can say I have at times joined the fun and I apologize. I have been around myself since 2001. Others who I think you may be referencing have also been around just as long. I spoke to the issue being an age gap and I still believe that to be partially true. What has happened is that the clique mentality that plagued the board for so long during what some call a more civil period has been replaced by a more modern social media quick post, meme , tweet frenzy at times. Its uncomfortable for some and I can understand that and feel its as far to moderate that stuff to ensure it does not fill up the hoops board while still recognizing times are different and those threads mean no harm. Just the same as the select group of posters who made up what once could be considered the sufan clique acted the way they did due to familiarity and shared interests vs having any sort of animosity towards new people or change( of course there were some grouchy and arrogant posters who are still that way but it comes with the territory). I think you could say the clique , elitist or whatever mentality is as over used as the juvenile one in terms of how frequently it occurs. I hate to lose a poster and remember great insight all the same but I think peace has been spoken and all that is left is finger pointing. Your post has hints of that in it as though to call the people out as juvenile and I don't think we need to go down that road. Again I willingly admit to participating on an evening or two of posts that likely belong on the hunor side or shut down do to going off topic after a 100 hr work week or after spending 10 mins being called an idiot by an abusive poster in an off topic thread. So by all means point your fingers at me as I can handle that. Im 30 and in the younger generation and enjoy having a good time as much as the very good hoops discussion. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday- go cuse!!! :) [/QUOTE]
