LabattBlue Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Disclaimer...this is not a knock on any newbies, but... Has there been a huge influx of new members in the last month or two? Might be getting a little crowded over on TSC. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres1970 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have noticed a significant rise of new members, most likely because of all the Tim Connolly avatars. I think its simple: when they're winning, there's really nothing to vent about. Listen to any post game on WGR when they win, it's all non sense from the callers. But when they're losing, people need a place to vent. Instead of making the effort of calling into WGR and all that, they can just sign-up here real quick and say as much as they want.

Weave Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 94 new members since 12/1/11. I have no idea what the typical new member rate is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Also with the TWC MSG issue - more people need to get their fix somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Speaking as one of the newbies, for me anyway it's not so much I need a place to vent, as I need a place to really discuss the team. Most of my friends are hockey fans, but they're not really into dissecting what's going on and options for the future and things of that nature, just the relatively shallow and face-level stuff that casual fans are into. I enjoy a more in depth back and forth with good information and whatnot, which is much easier to achieve on a message board than when you're several pitchers in at a bar.

bunomatic Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've only been here a couple of seasons myself so I consider myself a newby but all I can say to the new ones is welcome aboard. The more the merrier. Quite A few of the new posters have excellent opinions and knowledge of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have no problem with anyone posting anything... the board is mostly opinion-based and most of us don't know nearly as much about hockey as we think. :D My only issue is historically this board has been far more civil that any other sports-related message board that I've seen (thanks, mods). People disagree, but it rarely degrades into name calling like you see on other sites. So I hope that continues to be the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Everyone is welcome. Chz is like our Statue of Liberty.....except with a short, tight, leather dress.

darksabre Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Your momma wears army boots. I'll give him Stafford and a 2nd to get her on the Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Your momma wears army boots. Your momma's so fat her cereal bowl comes with a lifeguard. Edit: I think my 70 year old mother could do a better job as GM than Darcy. You know you're from Buffalo when your mother calls you up to talk hockey.

I enjoy a more in depth back and forth with good information and whatnot, which is much easier to achieve on a message board than when you're several pitchers in at a bar. As one of the newbies I agree with this as well. I just need a place to discuss the sabres deeper then speaking with my friends who know little about them. It is a great place to read gossip and hear other people's thought on the team and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption City Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Speaking for myself, as a newbie, this season is the most I've been able to watch the Sabres since I moved from WNY to Nashville. And what a miserable season it has been. But you guys seem great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I noticed an influx too last week, thought it was Regiers family because a bunch of them were trying to come up with excuses for Darcy and defending him.................
