Why can't I start a thread?

[TheYankee]

What is with the fascination of starting new threads before you've even contributed 20 posts to the entire forum? I dun get it.

[Jersey Yankee]

^^ I'll give you a few hints. ^^







And just in case that wasn't clear as mud:

[TheYankee]

^i get it know

[Hitman23]

I'm not quite clear Brad, I think I need more examples.

[Jersey Yankee]

^^ Don't get me started, Steve.









Let me know when you're ready to wave the white flag.

So you're pretty narcissistic, huh?

Me? Never. Besides, I never went on a thread-starting spree when I first got here. I likely went for a month or so (or at least my first 1,000 posts) before I did this.

4 "I's" a "me" and a "my". In a like 30 word post. Maybe we should refer to Dr John about your narcissism. Often people will overly preach about the things they are most fearful of inside themselves. Kind of like Chad Curtis.

Did I go there? Yes I did.

[CalYankeeFan]

I just find it ironic they started a thread titled "Why can't I start a thread?"

Well, you did specifically ask about me, so who else was I to reply about? Someone else?

Yes, Steve, that post was all about me ... myself ... and I.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. You've identified that you have a problem.

Yes, but which problem? I've already started way too many threads. I don't even start any right now.

As for the gist of my comments, I'd only say that the newbies shouldn't have to worry about making some "impact" on this forum, as if their obligation is to "make their presence known" around these parts. They could try having fun and letting people see their posts, deciding whether or not to reply. In short, enjoy your stay here and become part of the environment ... preferably, the BETTER part of the NYYFans environment.

There's no "I" in team.... but there is in Hitman23.

That yer not a team player, mebbe?

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... that yer thread starting permit should be revoked.

*runs & hides*

[Hitman23]

They should be revoked anyway. Nothing I start has any true value to this website. I have thousands of posts under my belt, all nonsense.

Dude, I need to stop hacking into your account. Those were my words also.

Yeah, right. Like guys on the internet never lie wabout what's under their belt.

So what's a few lies here and there about some notches under the belt? I mean, who's even counting?

Just to give you an idea of what makes the rule frustrating, I wanted to start a thread in the Around the Majors forum about the new ownership of the Padres. Considering the name O'Malley is involved, I thought it might get some good discussion. But I have to wait 6 months? By then, it will be old news.

That would be an absolutely stellar topic for this thread (already in progress):

So to start a thread you must have both:

-6 months
-50 posts


Correct?

Where are posts counted, in what forums?
Out-of-Play/Other Sports/Here?
