    I now lay claim to this sub-forum. There will be a toll.

    Just kidding. Thanks for putting this up, TTF. :clap:

    When I first read that, I read it as "there will be a troll"

    I have a feeling we may get a few. When I signed up, I was able to post instantly
    TTF, are you reviewing any new member requests or just leaving it open? Just curious

    I had those questions too. For now, he has it under control. If things get out of hand, maybe he'll form a posse. Until then I think he's trying to stay as hands off as possible.

    Sorry Knox, I missed this one...to answer your question, I'm not requiring new members to request to join yet. I am monitoring things very closely though, and have measures in place for when I'm not available to actively monitor newly joined users. But you're right, this place has grown way faster than I imagined and will likely need more active moderation as this place becomes more easily seen from the troll bridge. :thumbsup:

    Does it take a lot of time monitoring all this or is it pretty easy?

    It varies. It's definitely gotten busier the last couple weeks. The spambots find us pretty regularly now. :roll:

    So you're saying that speed bumps are now being replaced with remunerative bumps? :shrug:

    2011? I think Wham was still together back then and Nissans were Datsuns and BFT already had 40,000 posts in the first month of the TSF site. And Bennie hadn't been ushered to his Mom's basement yet.
    Oh yeah, Steelers hadn't been to a Super Bowl for......let's see............8 months. :hmm:

    I absolutely believe that’s true. All of the people not getting paid agree and threads would die much faster. This website seemed decent until you realize it’s a total scam. I don’t mind reading the unpaid comments. The ones that actually think Tomlin is a complete waste of time. He has 2 years with a playoff win in the last 14 years both include wins against a backup QB.
