The pub was a wilder and crazier place back in the day. I'm referring only to the publicly available pub. The group that was in there behaved like recent college grads and pretty much nothing was safe from mockery or insult. Even Growl took part in the roastings/harassings etc back then. It was very lively with many different babe threads and goofball web games etc. and some adult convos. This was all before and during the brief time GC was hosted at Scout.

Once we left Scout and we upgraded our forum software, rep was added. Both neg rep and positive rep. (PD was like a freakin cylon with all the red rep he would get.) People got their feelings hurt by neg rep and it was removed so that only positive rep was available. It then became fashionable to trade rep and an entirely new group of people arrived in the pub to do just that. They weren't terribly receptive to the rowdy, nature of the pub and the take no prisoners/say what you want attitude there. Friction arose and the old pubsters lost. Most were banned. The place was never the same after that.

This is how I remember things without going into too much detail. Others will remember it very differently.

rep?

lerxst6 · Nov 18, 2017

I suspect it’s a self imposed gag order. He probably handed his phone to an assistant because he’s afraid he would tweet “I’m about to hire Chip Kelly!!! It’s time to score some points baby!! Go Gators!!! Whoooooooo!!!”

Anyone else notice the Twitter silence coming from SS? He always tweets after a UF team win.
No gameday tweets or retweets at all.

Reputation. It was on the vBulletin software. Now that we're on XenForo its been replaced with trophy points, like/dislike/cmon man etc.

It’s the altering of the entire package - uniqueness and individuality get lost in favor of a consistent standardized look

Not for me man

He should let 'Nature Boy' introduce Chip at the presser, Sunday.

Never posted here before but I’ve read for a while and paid particular attention to this thread. Just wanted to thank all of y’all for the on-going entertainment! Made the end of this season much better than I assumed it would be.

Each to their own. To me it seems like the new generation is all about making everything look different from what was intended. Hardwood and big round fake boobs and what have you got - they all start to look the same, like a plastic doll a 6 year old girl plays with.

No thanks man, I like natural
Click to expand...

I don't like fake boobs. But shaved has far more rewards. I mean arm pits are supposed to have hair...do you like hairy legs and arm pits as well? My GF actually does look young..but she's 23..so she should lol.

That's right...my 31 year old ass went for the girl getting her Doctorate at UF. Get the young and then she can support me once I inevitably crash and can't get out of bed for a long time. Somehow I have survived three bike accidents with minor scars. Counting blessings...I went off on a really weird side bar here...freaking Jim Beam

Totally agree. Give me natural proportions over perfected lines, circles, shapes etc.

I was being facetious though.

I don't believe we ever really got an answer from you... What prompted the heat change from July to Humid August?
Click to expand...

The system of course.

(Most of what prompted it was posted here by bowie and today's update by Goldkamp on TOS which is posted several pages back...and a couple of PM's with some insiders...and a small core of posters that have a good track record with these things. (A lot of PM's going around to say the least)
No deep insider stuff from me. Just remember....all the system does is try and gather the pulse of the situation.

I have a small circle here, and enough insider contact to feel good about the title.

Just remember Florida weather changes quickly. Lets hope we keep moving forward.

Back to football, I was watching this...

Corral, looks legit. Kelly would have this kid with a statue next to Tim, Danny, and Steve.

So who cares about rep, or trophy points? If you’ve got a good thing going and having good harmless fun, why change it - unless it was mandated - like Tilly just did a few pages back with ix-nay on the bouncing boobies

Welcome. Just as an FYI, this is the only thread worth paying attention to. You can get a primer on thread etiquette on page 136.

Can you link this? I think I totally missed it. I did see Bowie's update, at least I think I did.

I have heard from a couple of places that UF may get a bargain because their pay does influence his NFL buyouts and that is in play here.
Click to expand...

If Chip is smart, and he is, he structures his contract to not make a lot of money while his NFL buyouts are still in play. Instead, he tells UF to put that money towards his assistants.
