    You should get an avatar. That would provide some momentary amusement.

    I grew up in the '60's and always wondered what are these hippies going to do when they get old?

    And now I know.

    I'd like to see a separate forum for discussing Forum alternatives. :smile1:

    My concern with combining the forums is based on how I think the forum works. Please correct me if I am wrong. Whenever a new comment is made to a thread, that thread goes to the top of the thread list. That means on the restructured On The Field (OTF) forum, there would at times be a lot of In The Stand (ITS) issues pushing OTF issues down the list. I am much less interested in the ITS threads than the OTF threads. I like having the college football game-related threads stand alone. In addition, I would like to see the OFF the Field issues and non-game related antics moved out of the OTF forum to the ITS forum. I understand there is a gray area for a lot of issues but doing this might get more readers to visit the ITS forum more often.

    I am not opposed to trying the combined approach to see how it would work but my vote for now is NO.

    This was like our version of the Spring Football game." Worsteman" looked good early with his nefarious comments and asked for two football forums.

    His call was not heeded, but "eschewed.":smile1:

    So the Mergers took the lead and were still ahead, going into the final quarter.

    The momentum of the thread turned, when "OldHippie," out of boredom, pulled an end around reverse play and changed his vote, from Mergers, to Keepers.

    A late field goal of votes, by Keepers supporters, enabled them to pull out the win, just before time expired.

    You can see a total recap of the thread, on "Hornfans Extra," with your host, Hornfans Administrator, Dionysus.

    What kind of oversight was done during the voting process? :smile1:

    I think some guy from the UN and Jimmy Carter were brought in by Dion, for poll watchers. So you know everything was on the up and up.

    Might want to check Worsterman's vote or votes, since he's nefarious. He could have slipped in an extra ballot, despite such detailed scrutiny.

    We should install a confession booth for LC. Then Hornfans posters could come clean about such things. "Bless me Father, for I have double clicked since my last confession, so I voted twice in a poll.

    Of course, this would be non-denominational, sorry LC, but we must be pc, on our pc's and mobile devices.

    We also would need a disclaimer. LC is not an actual "man of the cloth, except for wearing sansabelt Hagar slacks, with spandex." He just plays one on Hornfans and may or may not have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, the previous night. For confirmation pm snek.

    Whatever standard monitoring protocol the NSA uses for these things.
    He should be receiving a call from our friends in the Washington DC area any day now.

    I want to change my vote as I think my ballot had a hanging chad. And it will keep the thread going. Very entertaining which is what Hornfans is all about.

    That would tie the vote. Hell, merge the forums for the summer and see how we like it.

    Note: I am considering a name change to HornWaffler.

    So now we need another poll, on whether to "keep the thread, about whether to keep In The Stands Forum."

    Should we merge it with this thread, or start another one?

    Mr. Speaker/Administrator, I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks, at a later date.

    I think to be fair this vote should have been conducted on the "In the Stands" board.....Let the people speak for themselves!!!!

    Please do not change my vote. I want what happens in the stands to stay in the stands.

    No point in adding extra forums to check when both boards address the same sport and there is tons of overlap as to what belongs where anyway.
