I had this funny new Idea

So, after reading all of the crap that is posted on the flipsider forum, I am very pleased to consider myself a member, primarily, of this forum, and only a vagrant on that forum.

Stemming from all of the negativity on the flipsider forum, here's my idea:

Eli should make a forum that would be solely for the purpose of lurnin' its new members about the proper etiquette and techniques for posting non-offensive messages, in a sense training these forum newbies for the big time, the flipsider forum. And only after 50 non-offensive posts in the little guy forum should a member be able to make the jump to the big guy forum!

hahaha, that would be so funny. But totally necessary. Sometimes things just get so out of hand there.

I like it, and forum vets (not neccesarily a footbag forum) could be mods in that forum and decide which posts were good and which weren't good enough to count as part of your "50 worthwhile posts".

I just see too many posts that have no constructive nature whatsoever. Posts that are sarcastic in tone and accomplish nothing.

Ellis could use a lesson in this subject himself. Maybe you all havent noticed that sometimes Ellis can be rude. And "training these forum newbies for the big time: the flipsider forum", huh?? Didnt he basically just take the idea for forums directly from modified? Flipsider doesnt own the sport, kids.

Ha! good response Ace.
Where are you in AZ?
Im goin to school in tucson starting in the fall. Sure would lika a kicking partner, you dont happen to be anywhere near tucson, eh?
Anyway, the poll really was a joke. I dont really see a point in making a forum in order to moderate a forum. i just thought it was a funny idea that could actually never end. imagine a forum moderating a forum moderating a forum moderating a forum moderating a forum moderating a forum . . .

i can't stand the flipsider forum. the only reason i'm glad it's there is that it gives those kids that wanna argue a place to do it rather than doing it on this one. in my opinion the FLIPSIDER forum is the moderator for THIS forum. PIECE BROTHAS!

True that true that.

I think the only thing worth looking there for is the newb zone, and that is still pretty shitty.

I had this funny new Idea

Should Sir Ellis Archibald Fitzgerald Piltz create a forum for training newbies how not to be so fuckin' offensive on the Flipsider forum?
