Didnt realize he was trying to make it a side business. His posts didnt feel the same as when eric turner was here. Also interestingly while this may not be a place to advertise side gigs many folks that have left still have their stuff reported here so we still be doing that work for them (reporters, cover 1, and i guess Dean now). Its an interesting community on the web youve built and i have a ton of respect for it. If he was breaking terms i get it, but it didnt seem that way and I dont know why yall wouldnt want to link to Deans work or be generally supportive.
He stopped interacting with the community and started posted his own links. Anything written elsewhere could have been discussed here. Unfortunately, he chose not to do that and didn't feel like the rules should apply to him. He is welcome here anytime to discuss the Bills. I have no animosity. It was just a weird position to take.

Lots of podcasters promote each others work. Many times because they are also consumers of that material. Do the owners of this site think they should have exclusive control of TC reports? No. They will probably read Astro's posts and so have an interest in getting better reports (also better reports will cause more discussion and thus traffic). Lastly, helping Astro get ability to attend camp could result in TBD getting someone to attend TC eventually. Does that get to your why sufficiently?
did you just fall out of a coconut tree?Dean is always welcome to discuss anything in the community. He did for many years. It was his decision to stop discussing things here and to promote his work elsewhere. This place is for people who want to be here and discuss the bills. It’s not a place to advertise your side gig. he was not accepting of this rule that applies to everyone who’s ever been here, including cover 1.
he’s free to login at any time and share his thoughts. I’m sure we would all welcome that. But we all abide the same set of rules here.

Other employees of TBD include:
- Scott Sarama: Administrator
- \GoBillsInDallas/: Article Researcher
- Rockpile: Historian
- Nervous Guy: Global Moderator and Senior Advisor
- Simon: Global Moderator
- AIO: Global Moderator
- Alaska Darin: Forum Moderator
- Just Jack: Forum Moderator
TBD had advertising to pay for operations. And it has a circulation -
- TBD members aka circulation: 22k
- Batvia Daily News circulation: 7,800
Certainly, the readership here is higher than most small town daily newspapers, which likely get press credentials.
Astro's reporting is far more informative than anything we could get from the credentialed press.
I probably haven’t updated that in 20 years. Also, 22,000 registrations does not mean 22,000 active readers.-

Or, younger people trying to fit in or belong to Something because they have horrible parents... if they even have that. I suppose it's the same as religion... just trying to hang with the in crowd. Even if you're not gay... they will for sure take you in.
The straights don't even mention it, there is nothing to hide. They don't promote it.
you may want to look up Occam‘s razor.-

How many openly heterosexuals do you have in the troop? Probably none. The 2% of the population, at best, strives to let themselves be known though. It's funny to me actually. I'd like to see them get their Bull Riding award... it's a zinger.
You should bring your troop down to St. Pete in Florida this weekend.... a whole bunch of colors in the parade, they should just Love it.
2%? You should update your priors. There’s been a lot of new information since 1950.https://news.gallup.com/poll/470708/lgbt-identification-steady.aspx
Note their numbers for the overall population and the numbers reported by younger people who are increasingly feeling more comfortable to report such things. You may be off by a factor of 10.

@SDS - Please let us (me) know if this is for sure going to happen. I'll need to put in for PTO as I work Saturdays, and I completely forgot that fact when I signed up.

Golf requires goofy pants and a fat @$$. You should talk to my neighbor the accountant, huge @$$.
In all seriousness I'm an old fart now and somehow I keep thinking, "huh, golf might be something fun to do." I used to work at this driving range/go kart track/batting cages in Irving and we'd "advertise that we're open" by riding the carts, using the cages and shmackin' golf balls on the range. I used to drive the golf ball picker upper cart. People get really excited when you drive by in that. "I'm gonna hit the cart!"
Uh, anyway, I'll be there. I'll borrow my son's little plastic clubs, that'll get it done. Four! See that? 600 yards. Same amount Josh Allen's gonna throw for in week one.
is there a serious answer here or are you just clowning around? -

As a courtesy to the other board members, please use more descriptive topic titles. A single name if far too vague to post as a title and provides little insight into what specifically the post is talking about.The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate.
Thank you.

in just an FYI, unless we need to mix things up to make things work numbers wise, my three family members would probably go out on their own.

Please let me know if you’re interested in this and for how many. I need to get an idea on reservation numbers. Probably will look at Byrncliff but will consider others if there’s a consensus.

Astro Notes Update **Link to Friday, July 26 Notes added on pg 4**
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
we do. But it’s in the context of people wanting to be here, actively contributing to the community without self interest. Be here because you wanna be here. Talk to people because you want to talk to them. I think it’s a fair policy.
