OT: Things that annoy you on MGOBLOG
August 25th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
Thread hijacks.
Also, did people see what Josh Metellus has to say about the CB competition (LINK)? Let's discuss that instead.
August 25th, 2017 at 9:59 AM ^
comment only to say they don't know, never watched, or don't care about the topic.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
I don't know nor care what you mean
August 25th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
I don't know nor care what you mean
August 25th, 2017 at 10:57 AM ^
It's the worst when they do it twice.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:02 AM ^
Podcasts. Looking for prose here, not audio.

Threads that start with SIAP and explaining that they looked and saw nothing. I know commenters can be mean sometimes, but look if your story has been posted and if you can't find anything post it. If you were wrong take your lumps and move on, we all make mistakes. But spending 10 minutes explaining that you are sorry if it was posted before getting to the actual post really grinds my gears.
August 25th, 2017 at 11:42 AM ^
+1 for SIAP and another +1 for finishing with grinds my gears.
A tip of the cap, sir

And then think anyone who disagrees with them are tin hat posters

Someone already posted this thought. C'mon man! It's seriously just two posts above it. IBD.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:25 AM ^
I won't lie I got a good chuckle out of this one. But, then there is IBD, I am sure I have done it before too, but are points at that much of a premium that people have to flood comments with IBD.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:16 AM ^
1) Nonsequitur advice threads...like "Hey MGoCommunity, I am buying a new car and would love to hear your thoughts!". And before I get the "then don't click on it" comments, please read #2:
2) "Then don't click on it" comments - If the site didn't push threads off of the main screen with no real way to go back to find them, I wouldn't mind #1 so much... but the fact that often the good relevent topics on the board topics are lost to Drupal oblivion because of this tripe makes it particularly annoying. Hopefully when the site upgrade happens in 2026 this will all be worked out.
August 25th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
The fact that @mgoblog is not an official representation for the blog, but rather Brian Cook's personal, highly opinionated twitter account.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:15 AM ^
The strange meta stuff about that Wolverine Devotee guy.
August 25th, 2017 at 11:07 AM ^
or people accusing anyone who makes a positive comment about WD as being one of WD's several dozen alternate accounts.
August 25th, 2017 at 12:49 PM ^
August 25th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
Yes, my long con went on for 7 years, but you finally discovered my secret.
Holy shit, my 7 year anniversary on this site is coming up in a couple weeks. I've wasted so much time here.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:17 AM ^
Hope the whole system vanishes when the board is redone.
It's very easy to tell that people aren't always themselves out of fear of the whole voting crap.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:19 AM ^
But do you want everyone to be themselves? Some people suck.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:22 AM ^
August 25th, 2017 at 10:22 AM ^
Because I like real conversations. If people suck, so be it.
August 25th, 2017 at 12:56 PM ^
It's how we police ourselves man. Have you never noticed that those that speak freely seem to get a shit ton of upvotes?
If we can't vote, somewittyname will say some shitty things.
Wasn't the voting on hiatus several years ago? This was before I started posting, but it was a constant complaint to bring it back. I don't think the board would be as good without it.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:18 AM ^
Hey it's Friday Posbang. It's a positive, Pos-Posbang, posbang. And all other forms of posbangs.
Although that being said this particular thread might be my favorite accidental posbang of all time. I think i've upvoted just about evey comment in here
August 25th, 2017 at 11:12 AM ^
they are basically point-whores
August 25th, 2017 at 1:16 PM ^
Agreed. Now posbang me!
August 25th, 2017 at 10:22 AM ^
"I don't mean to be a dick" and then proceed with being a dick.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:25 AM ^
I know Drupal was brought up above but the whole site migration thing in general. It's been "happening" for years even when I was a lurker it was talked about. I realize the monetary investment to upgrade but the site crashes and unavailability are so annoying.
August 25th, 2017 at 11:33 AM ^
1. Comments that are tinged with (or blatant) racism, homophobia, etc
2. People posting that there is info on other sites that are paywalled, but can't post it. If people aren't going to share that specific info, why post about info on another site that you won't reveal? I get the real reasoning, but would anyone bitch about sharing a paywalled NY Times article or some other news publication?
3. People posting they are sorry if a link has already been posted.
August 25th, 2017 at 12:41 PM ^
People who are triggered by things which aren't there.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
August 25th, 2017 at 10:30 AM ^
About a bad post...
August 25th, 2017 at 10:31 AM ^
I'm just here waiting on the "OT: Things that annoy you in my house" post.
August 25th, 2017 at 10:33 AM ^
And how weird is it when you meet someone who says they're a M fan and never heard of mgoblog ?
August 25th, 2017 at 11:04 AM ^
We should be jealous of those fans that haven't heard of MGoBlog. I'm sure they lead very productive lives away from their computers.

The phrase "I trust the coaching staff"

Too many freaking marsupials.....
August 25th, 2017 at 10:53 AM ^
August 25th, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
People that don't realize how important I am.
SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE ALERT!
August 25th, 2017 at 10:57 AM ^
Posts about "Hello: Class of 2035"
Most posts that aren't about sports
Podcasts and videos I can't watch at work
All of you

If you don't get it, you probably never went to a game before 2008.
Miss those free programs...
