He was honored at a White House ceremony, along with the other nine recipients of the award. In 1993, he received the Florida Bar Association's Legal Aid Public Service Award.
Rob is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and for the Eleventh Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Southern, Middle and Northern Districts of Florida, and the Supreme Court of Florida.

Yes, now I'm going for the hat-trick
One singer, one model, one actress
from Devlin (Ft. Wretch 32) – Off With Their Heads Lyrics on Genius
Scoring three times (in sports, such as football. Or soccer, but we haven't got time for that here) = a hat-trick. Aside from this being the third of his hat-trick of verses, Wretch hopes to score with:
A singer (e.g Beyoncé),
a model (e.g. Miranda Kerr)
and an actress (e.g. Scarlett Johansson).
An ordinary man may be happy with just one of the above, but Wretch believes he should aim for all three.

EAST TEXAS - Those who deal with domestic abuse everyday say as the economy gets worse so does the violence.

"Comparing it to last year, it has increased, there has been probably about 50—percent of an increase of our clients".
Crisis Center officials say, they're bracing for the time period following the holidays...when their numbers tend to go up each year.

North Carolina (i/ˌnɔrθ kærəˈlaɪnə/) is a state in Southeastern United States. The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. North Carolina is the 28th most extensive and the 10th most populous of the 50 United States. North Carolina is known as the Tar Heel State and the Old North State.
North Carolina is composed of 100 counties. North Carolina's two largest metropolitan areas are among the top ten fastest growing in the country: its capital, Raleigh, and its largest city, Charlotte. In the past five decades, North Carolina's economy has undergone a transition from heavy reliance upon tobacco, textiles, and furniture making to a more diversified economy with engineering, energy, biotechnology, and finance sectors.
Traffic on roads may consist of pedestrians, ridden or herded animals, vehicles, streetcars and other conveyances, either singly or together, while using the public way for purposes of travel. Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic.
Organized traffic generally has well-established priorities, lanes, right-of-way, and traffic control at intersections.
A school bus is a type of bus specifically designed and manufactured for student transport: carrying students to and from school and school events. Outside North America, the term can often be applied to an ordinary bus used for a school service or an older bus or coach retrofitted to become a dedicated school bus; the term "school bus" often is applied to bus routes assigned for the purposes of student transport as well.
The first school bus was a horse-drawn coach, designed to carry 25 children. It was constructed in 1827 by George Shillibeer for Newington Academy for Girls, a Quaker school in Stoke Newington, north-east of London (UK)
Student transport is the transporting of children and teenagers to and from schools and school events. School transport can be undertaken by school students themselves (on foot, bicycle or perhaps horseback; or for older students, by car), they may be accompanied by family members or caregivers, or the transport may be organised collectively, using buses or taxis.
A traffic ticket is a notice issued by a law enforcement official to a motorist or other road user, accusing violation of traffic laws. Traffic tickets generally come in two forms, citing a moving violation, such as exceeding the speed limit, or a non-moving violation, such as a parking violation, with the ticket also being referred to as a parking citation, notice of illegal parking or parking ticket.
In some jurisdictions, a traffic ticket constitutes a notice that a penalty, such as a fine or deduction of points, has been or will be assessed against the driver or owner of a vehicle; failure to pay generally leads to prosecution or to civil recovery proceedings for the fine. In others, the ticket constitutes only a citation and summons to appear at traffic court, with a determination of guilt to be made only in court.
School bus stop laws are laws dictating what a motorist must do in the vicinity of a bus stop being used by a school bus or other bus, coach or minibus providing school transport.
Greyhound Lines, Inc., based in Dallas, Texas, is an intercity bus service common carrier of passengers serving over 3,700 destinations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, operating under the logo of a leaping greyhound. It was founded in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914 and incorporated as Greyhound Corporation in 1929. Today, it is headquartered at 350 North St. Paul Street in Downtown Dallas, Texas under the ownership of British transport firm FirstGroup, which operates Greyhound as an independent subsidiary and a division of FirstGroup America.
Along with its flagship Greyhound brand, and the subsidiary Greyhound Express brand, the company also operates or co-operates BoltBus, NeOn and YO! Bus.

Share Open Gallery 12 Photos A contemporary rug, designed by Maine native Angela Adams, inspired furnishings and accessories in the Tower room. Tags: home offices blue photos coastal style living spaces black photos brown photos daybed study den sawhorse table View original photo. A cozy chaise, upholstered in a firefly fabric, provides a perch for reading and reflection. A eco-friendly floor lamp, fashioned from paper mache with a charmeuse shade, offers light during evening hours. A faux-bois table, painted with low-VOC paint, serves as a perch for reading material. A Peruvian alpaca throw is close at hand should evenings turn chilly. A steel-plated, sawhorse-style desk topped with glass offers an opportunity to concentrate on work. "I couldn't do another big wooden desk. The room would have been overpowered. I wanted it to feel light and airy up there," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. The Tower is surrounded by 12 windows, which reduce the need for electric lighting during daytime hours. At the top of the stairs, three manipulated nature photos, purchased at a Plymouth gallery, greet guests. "This is the room in the house where you are most connected to nature," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. "That's why they worked so well." Reversed shiplap pine gives the ceiling a rustic touch. Sky-blue paint and a caged lantern with paper shade complete the surreal feel of the space. "That light is the cherry on top of the sundae," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. "The last place I could use a square design element." Whether viewed from the Tower or the Living Room, the staircase – complete with custom oak railing — provides a sweeping view. A recyclable nylon carpet runner, placed over solid hickory wood stair treads, protects wood surfaces from high traffic. Steel-plated desk legs continue a linear design story repeated throughout the house. Clear glass desktop accessories keep the room light and airy. Embroidered throw pillows echo the sky-colored palette and remind one that the space is meant for relaxation as well as work.

Bossier City Police are investigating a single vehicle crash that left a Haughton man hospitalized with severe injuries.
The crash happened at around 7:15 a.m. A Chevrolet Impala driven by 20-year old Cody Matthew Colston was traveling east on I-220 when it exited on to the Highway 80 off ramp, lost control, struck the embankment of the Highway 80 on ramp loop and rolled over multiple times.

Duson, LA (KMSS) — Am Amber Alert that was issued for a three-year-old girl in Lafayette Parish has been canceled after officials say she has been found safe.
After a violent domestic encounter with his wife, Ransom Taylor arrived at his mother-in-law's home on Paul Molbert Road just outside of Duson where his three-year-old daughter Kailey Taylor, was being cared for and took her and his mother-in-law's car a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville.
Ransom gave the child to a friend who made arrangements to meet with investigators for the child's return.
Before finding the child, Ransom sent a text message to his wife threatening to kill himself and their daughter.
Kailey is currently in the custody of the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office and is in good health. She will soon be reunited with her mother.
The investigation is ongoing.

The state's film incentives took a big step forward Wednesday. The Senate Finance Committee approved raising the tax break for production companies from 15 to 25 percent.
Wilmington and the state were stung this spring by the last-minute loss of a Miley Cyrus movie to Georgia, which has a 30 percent break. Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo testified before the finance committee in Raleigh Wednesday. He is cautiously optimistic as the bill moves to the full Senate.
"They want to make sure the incentive is proper. Obviously, things are tough right now; people are cutting back, teachers are being laid off in some cases. They want to make sure the incentive is fair and it is equitable and it is something that makes sense, " said Saffo. "But if we are going to be in the game in regards to film and the film industry we are going to have to step up our incentive. Forty-two states in this country have film incentives. Twenty-eight states have higher incentives than us."
The timing is a challenge as state lawmakers are in late-stage talks on cutting spending and raising taxes to produce a balanced budget by July.
There is a companion film incentive bill on the House side awaiting action.

Vigorfit Home Gym or Bayou Total Trainer DLX?by Jo LevyNov 30, 2006
Popular Products in Sport and Outdoor
The Bottom Line These machines are so similar it may just boil down to money or your weight.
I compared the Vigorfit Home Gym to the Total Gym 1700. I have been asked to compare the Vigorfit to the Bayou Fitness Total Trainer DLX so a consumer can make an informed decision. Lets take a look at their similarities and differences. 1. Vigorfit costs about $375 and is made by Fitness Bargains, Inc. Bayou TT costs a bit less at about $300 and is made by Bayou Fitness. 2. Vigorfit offers one model. Bayou offers many. I saw this as a pro for Vigorfit because they make it easier for the consumer to choose. 3. Vigorfit makes a point to say that you will buy this one model with all the upgrades. Bayou is upgradeable. This would be your choose. Vigorfit has all the attachments you could want in my opinion. The DLX does as well but you can spend more on options. 4. Neither uses any kind of computer that can that break down. Thats a strength these types of trainers have. 5. They both claim to combine strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, and flexibility. They both claim to add Pilates to their exercise menu however Bayou makes a Pilates piece of equipment in addition to the DLX. Vigorfit also comes with a Pilates bar. 6. They both use a glide board this is what you will lie down on, face, or sit on. This is the piece that gets moved with your body weight. 7. Both give you the option of adding weights (plates) to a bar on the machines. 8. You will get a lifetime warranty on the Vigorfit. Bayou will give you a one-year warranty on both the frame and the parts and a lifetime warranty on the rollers, ropes and pulleys. 9. Vigorfit measures about 27 inches wide by 84 inches long by 44 inches high. The DLX measures about 20 inches by 86 inches by 44 inches. 10. Vigorfit weighs 76 pounds. Bayou weighs 90 pounds. 11. Both allow the user to be up to 6 feet 2 inches tall. Bayou's Advanced DLX goes to 6 feet 7 inches. 12. Vigorfit allows the user to be 350 pounds plus 100 pounds of weights. Bayou DLX can handle a person weighing up to 385 pounds plus 100 pounds of weight. 13. Vigorfits glide board is 1 � inches thick. Bayous is 2 inches thick. 14. Vigorfit has 11 levels of resistance; Bayou has 10. 15. They both have weight bars. Weights are not included but two weight clips are included. These ensure that the weights dont fall off. The weights are sold separately on both machines. 16. Vigorfit has an exercise manual that can be attached. Bayou has done something different. They have cards which are used as an aid especially if you are new to working out. 17. Vigorfit has resistance bands at the base of the machine. I could use none or I could use all five to increase my resistance. This will give you up to 188 pounds of static resistance. 18. Both machines feel sturdy, steady and well made. 19. They both fold. I wish I could just tell you which one to buy. This has to be your decision. I will go out on a limb though and tell you that there was something I liked about the Vigorfit that would make me lean towards buying it. However the machines are so similar that perhaps it will boil down to money. You can save money with the Bayou DLX. If money is the issue or you weigh 375 pounds then the decision is an easy one. Good luck. I hope the consumers have found this helpful and I look forward to reading your reviews! |

The CW Announces A VERONICA MARS Spinoff Web Series
By Malik Forté on January 15, 2014
Last week we got our first look at the crowdfunded return of our favorite private investigator to the big screen. Now comes more exciting news to go along with that, with the recent announcement of an upcoming Veronica Mars digital spinoff series.
As of now there's no set date for this, and it could very well be released after the movie's March 14th launch. Given that as of right now it's being deemed a "spinoff," I couldn't even tell you which characters are going to be a part of the webisodes. The announcement came by way of The CW, which stated that CW Digital and Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas will both have a hand in the web series' creation. So if anything, at least we know that the series is in good hands, and that, right there my friends, is enough for fans to be excited about.
HT: Variety

Been using this stuff for a pre-workout recently (I go to the gym right after work when i'm a bit sleepy). It won't help you lift more but man this stuff is good! Nice clean energy with no crash. I don't feel like i'm about to fall asleep as soon as I leave the gym now!
I've gone up from 11 stone to about 12 and a half now. Though i'm sure most of it has gone to my gut

Well when you're getting closer to the time post something in this thread. I might be able to donate a little bit. Not a lot but i guess every bit counts, right?
09-26-2013 #1756
09-27-2013 #1757
I believe it's a local YMCA charity for children and families in need or something. So I don't know if donating would be worth it to you since it's locally based. I'll have more details as it gets closer. If I'm not ready for the 42K I'll be majorly over-prepared for the half marathon. Just listening to my body right now.
It's not for 7 months, so I have a while to train. Doing 4 running sessions a week and some resistance training and calisthenics and ridiculous amounts of stretching to enhance my running performance on the days I'm not running... and occasional rest days of nothingness. I'm trying to aim for a sub-3.5 hour marathon, but I'll see if my body lets me... lol. The guy that got first place last year did it in 2 hours 58 minutes or something. Friggin' cyborg. It would be cool to win a medal... even though it's a charity."Love the life you live, and live the life you love." ~ Bob Marley

I have zero interest in long-distance running lol. That takes guts though, so respect to you runners out there.
As for me, I finished my cut. I went from 180 lbs to 167 lbs on LeanGains over two months. I started the cut without any muscle. Was just skinny-fat after being sick for a year, so I didn't exactly look shredded after the cut, but not bad either.
So I'm starting a slow bulk right now, and on a more interesting note, my workout is going to entirely comprise of bodyweight exercises. The common misconception is that you can't achieve a great body with just bodyweight exercises, but that's only if you never advance past the basic moves (pull-ups, push-ups, squats, etc).
You have to progress gradually to more and more advanced moves and by the time you can do things like handstand push-ups, planche push-push ups, pistol squats, front levers, etc, then you'll have a very good body. And that's when I might add weight, but just getting to that point will take a lot of hard work.
It's not IDEAL for bodybuilding, but due to my funky lower back, I think this is the healthiest and most sustainable training approach for me. And that is 100X more important than doing another lifting routine that hurts my back after two months and puts me out of commission for another year. Bodyweight training will also improve my mobility and flexibility, which can make certain lifting movements easier in the future if I decide to try that again.
So this is my routine to start off:
Day A:
Pull-ups (Pyramid X 1)
Lunges (Pyramid X 1)
Inverted rows (Pyramid X 1)
Hanging leg raises (Pyramid X 1)
Chin-ups (Pyramid X 1)
Day B:
Push-ups (Pyramid X 1)
Bulgarian split squats (Pyramid X 1)
Pike press (Pyramid X 1)
Calf raises (Pyramid X 1)
Bench dips (Pyramid X 1)
A pyramid means you do this (say you're doing a pyramid to 5):
1 rep
pause for a couple seconds
2 reps
pause for a couple seconds
3 reps
pause for a couple seconds
4 reps
pause for a couple seconds
5 reps
30-60 second rest
4 reps
pause for a couple seconds
3 reps
pause for a couple seconds
2 reps
pause for a couple seconds
1 rep
This is usually recommended for beginners in order to increase your rep amount to decent levels. Then once that's achieved is when you can do typical hypertrophy ranges (i.e. 4 sets of 12 reps).
M: off
T: off
Th: off
S: off
So that's three days a week, but I might change it to four days a week, since you can recover faster with bodyweight workouts (less stress on the joints).
As for my diet, I'm still doing LeanGains, which means Intermittent Fasting + Counting Macros + Carb Cycling.
Current macros are as follows....
Training Day:
Carbs: 250g
Fat: 60g
Protein: 190g
Rest Day:
Carbs: 50g
Fat: 90g
Protein: 190g
The calorie level is at about maintenance, or slightly above. Since I'm slow-bulking, I'm increasing calories gradually from my cut. So I'll probably increase the calories again in a week depending on how much weight gain.
Any thoughts?!?Last edited by Ixion; 09-27-2013 at 17:57.

I miss working out!!
I didn't practice for a little bit over a month now and most of my definition is fading away slowly, but surely! I'll try to get back this month or maybe next month.

Back to the running finally, did a 5K every day from last Monday 'til now, Sunday's my day off, partially because I'm hungover. :3 Tomorrow I'll start getting back to incorporating the bag, floor work and weights again. All about getting back into a rhythm.

Question for our European friends who use games for fitness:
I'm considering buying Just Dance 2014 for my family, comes out tomorrow. We liked the 2 or 3 other JD titles we've played. JD 2014 has been out in Europe sonce last week, has anyone tried it and if so was it good compared to the other games in the series?

Well, since there were no replies yet and I did end up grabbing it I'll say this: so far after we played it for about 2 hours last night. so far so good. It's fun and plays well ike the others. The song list isn't as good as we'd like but it's not bad at all. The others did have a stronger track list initially though but they will undoubtedly release more tracks soon enough. Overall we like it.

Hey guys [in the know]. Quick question here about nutrition.
What is generally the better fish to eat? Cod or Salmon?
I've just been looking as cod and salmon fillets on a grocery site as I'm really looking to give building some muscle a real go, and what I looked at, salmon apparently had more protein than cod.
Anyone able to shed any light on this matter, or even offer any advice as to what I should be looking to eat?
I'll say right now that I don't think I'll be able to eat like 6 or 7 meals a day, due to time restrictions and money... Shiz is expensive!

Still same story for me. Bulking and working out. I have pretty nice forms and very nice arms vascularity however I lack in mass so i am working on that. Keeping my six pack in form while significantly trying to gain weight and working on my chest as well. Legs is where I lack the most and started concentrating on them more. Other than that not much to say really. Gonna keep working out 4 times a week until school starts again and then switch to 3 times.
10-10-2013 #1771
From my, not particularly knowledgeable, standpoint, salmon's probably the best out of those two. Having said that, I had a three month period of trying to gain a little mass and muscle and my diet revolved around low carb, high fat/protein foods, (coupled with protein shakes - perhaps overboard). Boiled chicken, lean meats, different types of nuts, are all good aspects of a diet for building a bit of a muscle. Do a little cardio in-between to offset the amount of fat you'll be taking in. A medium jog every other day is what I did.

10-11-2013 #1772
Okay, that's awesome, because I bloody love salmon right now!
Right. I play to have fish and chicken, with some rice and vegetables, and also have a protein shake pretty much straight after a workout. If I get peckish I'll be eating some fruit and nuts. Does that sound pretty reasonable?
I intend to throw in some time on the treadmill and bikes every so often too. Will probably look to jog in my local park rather than use a treadmill, so that I can easily go into a sprint if I want to.
Thanks for your response, by the way.
10-11-2013 #1773
Anytime! Make sure it's brown rice, the difference can be a bit substantial; egg whites are a great low-cal, low-carb source of protein, too; usually start my day with four of those and a bit of low fat yogurt, but each to their own. It's about finding out what works and getting into a rhythm.

I just hard boil the egg and deshell it and separate the white from the yolk, and eat it like that. It's not the best way nor the nicest by a long stretch.

Today's guest is Janice Barcello.
Janice will be talking to us today about the Anastasia books which are also called the Ringing Cedars series.
These books focus on a girl named Anastasia who lives in the Russian Tiaga and lives among the forest and animals there. She is known to have special powers and a deep connection to all things natural. Schools have come into existence based on her philosophies which are completely run by the children, allowing them to be creative and self sustaining. They solve their own problems together and produce the most amazing artwork.
In our discussion with Jeanice today, we will be talking about what it means to be 'natural' and we will explore the gifts that we all have that support our connection to God Source.

By David Perfect for what I need it for , - Had an AT&T TL7610 that lasted about a year before it started to go out on me. Had issues the entire time though with people not being able to hear me clearly on it. Did some research and the PRO 9470 had good reviews and took a gamble. Well, it's well worth the price. Also wanted to add I got it for a bit less here versus anywhere else, given that I also needed the applicable adapter for our phone system. So, that was a plus.

By Headhunter use it every day , - Excellent sound quality, even when hooked to my inexpensive standard desk phone. One click and you're connected to your computer audio, and another click and you're connected to your cell. One minor flaw: the plastic attachment between the headset and the over-ear hook is a bit flimsy--occasionally the headset falls off the hook when I lift it to my ear.

By LubbockBill Great device , - I've bought two of these before and liked them both so much, when we had a receptionist that needed a head piece, we bought her the same thing.

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm a die-hard Cavs fan, I try my best not to think of the Browns and the mid-'90s Indians were one of the highlights of my life. I went to college in Pittsburgh, where I got to see first-hand what happens when a city actually wins something. Now I live in Brooklyn; I do my best to cheer on the Nets, but it's kind of hard when all the games are attended by transplants looking to see their hometown team...not that I haven't done that.
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's in Political Science. After finishing school and moving to New York, I worked for two years as the Lead Copywriter at an e-commerce company. That was all good and fun, but now I'm looking to move my writing and editing background into the sports realm.
Hey James, thanks for the edits. Appreciate it.
Thanks for the edits and the feedback, James!
Thanks for the edits and feedback James!
Thanks for the edits and feedback, James. I really appreciate you taking the time to look over the article.
Hey James. One of recent articles has been live for quite some time, but hasn't been edited and I was wondering if you could give it a look. (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1609696-complete-guide-to-san-antonio-spurs-postseason) Thanks a ton, Garrett.
Thanks for the edits today James
Hey James, thanks for the edits! Especially appreciate you going through and finding that preseason pick to add in. As for the "others receiving votes" section on that George slide, it wasn't necessary because they were all included one slide later under Aldridge's section. Again, much appreciated for taking the time to look over it!
Thanks for the edits and detailed feedback today James. Always great to hear from a fellow Ohioan.
Just read your profile...yes, block out the Browns, because not only did Modell stick a knife through those fans' hearts, but he twisted it when Browns great Ozzie Newsome brought the former Browns first one Super Bowl and now two, plus arguably the greatest defense ever to play in the NFL.
How is living in Brooklyn? It's one of those places that was always on my list of potential spots to land...though I've only spent time in Manhattan, something about it spoke to me.
Thanks, as always, for the edits, James. It was tough to leave Boozer out, especially after his monstrous game last night!

OPKO Health Receives Core Technology U.S. Patent Allowance
OPKO Health, Inc. (NYSE:OPK) today announced the receipt of a patent allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the patent application titled "Structures for Controlling Light Interaction with Microfluidic Devices".
These allowed claims cover devices incorporating microchannels and integrated optical features adapted to ensure reliable and sensitive optical analysis in microfluidics. The process of performing accurate optical measurements in microfluidic systems can be very challenging, often requiring expensive optics with delicate alignment and calibration. The invention described in this patent addresses these challenges by integrating three-dimensional optical alignment within the fluidics. As a result, OPKO's inexpensive disposable microfluidic cassettes incorporating this technology can be easily analyzed utilizing simple optics. Such optics can be provided in a low-cost, low-power analyzer as small as a cell phone and operated in any environment. No expensive alignment features or techniques are required, enabling such a system to be operated by anyone. This technology can be used in conjunction with the OPKO suite of technologies for point-of-care diagnostics.
"This is yet another of the technologies we have developed to make high-performance clinical assays robust and easy to use at the point-of-care. This technology will enable us to make existing lab tests available for use anywhere and rapidly accelerate the adoption of new tests," said Phillip Frost, M.D., OPKO's Chairman and CEO.

So I used to post here fairly frequently and have stopped actively posting on the GCB in the last few months. I often come back for a few minutes, but I never end up getting further than the front page, and I usually end up back on the vesti after a brief while of staring at the thread list here. Here's a few thoughts: I think part of the reason for this is the fact that on the GCB, the "number of threads created to "number of replies each thread gets" ratio is way, way, way lower than on the vesti. It can be somewhat difficult to get involved in a thread that has been going on for a long time and has multiple pages of replies, unless you've been involved with it since its beginning. At this moment on the GCB front page, 36 out of 50 threads have multiple pages of replies (using my PPP count), compared to only 17 of 50 on the vesti. Similar to how a group of people meeting together spawns initial conversation that's easy to take part in, if you try to join a group that have been discussing a topic for a long time, it's somewhat more difficult to be an active participant in the discussion. That brings me to a related point that even regardless of the amount of replies a thread gets, on the GCB, new threads aren't created at a very high rate. The last thread on the front page of the GCB was last replied to on Thursday (today being Saturday), while the last thread on the front page of the vesti was last replied to less than a half hour ago. While long, detailed, high volume discussions on a relatively limited number of topics may be more in line with the community feel and style of this board, it also makes it a bit less accessible for new (or returning) users to take part in. Even with this being a close knit community, I don't think fresh blood is ever a *bad* thing. Obviously you guys don't want this place to turn into the vesti, but I think you have to admit that the vesti does have some definite benefits over that of the GCB in its current state. I think this would be a much more dynamic and attractive place if everyone made a conscious effort to produce new content in the form of fresh threads... but then you guys might be perfectly happy with the status quo and totally against that idea. Idk, what are your thoughts, GCB?
Quantity =/= quality. I feel we pull threads out of our asses all of the time, but you want more? "Love this picture of Katy Perry" "What did the Vesti have for dinner?" This is what I see looking at the Vesti for a couple of seconds. I don't know about you, but I don't want that here all of the time. Most things we probably have a collective thread for anyway. Yes, some of the threads are huge time sinks. This is why being a part of the GCB for an extended period of time can be a satisfying posting experience, being a part of those long discussions (or circle jerks, or spam threads, or whatever) from the beginning; though, I personally have no problem jumping in the middle of discussions, which I do pretty much everyday (everyone's in a different time zone here, so it happens). I liked it when you posted here regularly. You should start again.
This place hasn't been "inaccessible" in years regarding the user base. There was a time from like 05-07 where if you were new, you'd only be accepted if you took your anal pummeling with a smile. I remember getting drilled by Mario2 and Ray within days of first posting here. Adidas also got it pretty bad though he stuck around, it's why he still wins most improved user even though no one's given him shit in like 5 years. Most of the GCB's spastic user base has left or grown over it and now the only requirement is that you aren't a dipshit. This place hasn't been "hurf durf get off my turf" IGNCB levels in years.
You have a short term memory issue if this is a problem. Another comparison to the Vesti and GCB. Vesti is like WoW, where any casual can jump in. GCB is like Everquest or FFXI where you work as a team from beginning to end.
Yes, quality doesn't equal quantity, but when the volume is over 200 times that of here, you only need one half of one percent of the quality to result in the same net number of genuinely interesting and unique threads... And I can tell you that (imo) the vesti puts out more than one interesting thread per 200 attempts
How is 50 threads every half hour a good thing? There is no way any human can keep up with that. At least on the GCB you know if you skipped a topic it's because you weren't interested in it.
And yet despite having a ton more users no one is interested enough to push those threads to 2 pages.
I can see where you're coming from but at the same time, the number of regular users on the GCB has been constantly growing over the past year or two. Or at least it feels that way. A good chunk of that is the GSF people recently, and you certainly can't expect that to happen on a regular basis, but there's still been several others. You can look back through several of the threads and pick out a bunch of people that are more recent additions to the GCB to go with all of the old farts that have been around for 10 years. In a way it's too bad if people let the larger threads and pace of the place keep them from giving it a chance. While more activity would never be a bad thing, I don't think we have to make an effort to try and pull double or triple the amount of topics out of our asses just for the sake of having more.
I agree, but I think there's a balance. Having a topic be dead for three whole days before ever slipping off the front page just seems a bit too slow for me, and that's not for a lack of active users
Fair enough. That's why I post on multiple different boards. I feel I'm part of 3 or 4 communities instead of felling like I'm watching a mass stream of consciousness.
GCB is like Pokemon Red while Vesti is like Pokemon Black 151 is more manageable but can get a bit boring after a while, 649 is impossible to master but you get more flavors to choose from
I like both. But the the vesti is more active so it draws me more and has funnier posters. Will continue to post in both.
They both have their advantages. The GCB is a slower pace, but I feel I get more mileage out of my posts in the threads here. I feel closer connected to this community than any other on IGN. The Vesti has a lot of great points to it, and I enjoy posting there, it's just a bit different in terms of environment. Both are worth posting on in their respective ways.
I don't think any mod enjoys reading through hundreds and hundreds (and thousands) of posts in order to develop an understanding for a problematic situation. I think if you're only willing to permit mods who absolutely love dealing with extremely long threads, you should remove the vast majority of current moderators. Very few are thrilled with the prospect of spending a half hour of their time to determine whether a user is trolling or not.
Why do we need two Vesti's? We are the apples to your oranges. The yin to your yang. The dog to your cat. The chocolate to your peanut butter. The Baskins to your Robbins, if you will.
To be fair, the point of my OP was to highlight the aspects of the vesti that can be seen as things the GCB could potentially improve on. There's a difference between "x should be the exact, identical same as y" and "x should consider taking page from y's book"
yeah pretty much this.... if you want me to start cranking out shitty threads I can, but I really don't like making threads unless I feel like its worth while, and I think most GCBers feel that way.
To be fair, if the point of your thread was, "If the GCB was more like the Vesti, I'd like it more" then
No offense to the GCB, but a lot of the time when I come here a good chunk of the new threads are stuff that I saw on Reddit hours earlier...
People say stuff like this and think it's an insult. I don't want to talk about that crap with the people on Reddit. I talk about stuff here because of the community. I don't want either the GCB or Reddit to be my news source.
At the end of the day the GCB is more community and relationship driven, where the Vesti is more content and volume driven... depends on what people are looking for I guess.... theres more of a random conversation aspect and almost anonymous feel for something like the vesti or reddit, where the GCB you know pretty much every user personally on some level.
I don't really get the big deal. Every board is different. The Vesti is by far the fastest board on IGN so of course there are going to be more threads on there. There would be no point of different boards if they all moved at the same pace, had the same topics, and had the same communities.
None taken. I'm not here for current events. I'm here to discuss them with people who's opinions I respect.
i'm sure there's quality users on the vesti, it's just when the board's that active they end up putting less effort into their threads if it's going to fall off the front page quickly, or they make it more of a shock thread to get attention so it doesnt fall off. they have to adapt for their audience too, and the different stuff appeals to the vesti
I don't understand feeling a board is 'inaccesible'. I think sometimes we over complicate posting on a message board. I've never posted here before this week. I don't feel it's difficult to do anything. If there's a topic you want to add to, add to it. If you want to start a topic, do so.
I try to get into reddit, but those boards are ugly. It feels like everyone else is a different site.
but why in this case should the GCB want to take a "page" out of the Vesti book? They're entirely different, and supposed to be... If both boards were extremely similar, there'd be no point in having separate ones.
Pretty much this. I enjoy going to the vesti and reading the thread of the moment, and it is a guarantee that I will at least chuckle. However, I can't think of one instance where I had a decent discussion about a topic over there, since there are way too many posts and there are more users trying to get a laugh out of the situation. Here it is slower but I actually feel like I know these people.
The question is, though, would it ruin the GCB for you if it took less than three full days for a dead thread to fall off the front page?
from my experience of posting on this board over the years this is the gcbs perception of activity less than 1 day: too fast 1-2: fast 3: normal 4-5: slow more than 5: too slow right before the new boards we were looking pretty rough, getting up to a week almost, but then we got back to 3, and now with the merger and high board placement, its fast. the pace would have to nearly double though for it to be too fast in their eyes. it's always been my goal to keep the gcb at least a 3 day pace. when the gcb was sort of dying, i stepped up my posting to keep us there. other users like panda, frog, and trap stepped up too when things were slow.
If they were good threads with decent discussions, it would be fine. But thread spam with topics that never go beyond the first page is why we have "Got Something To Say".
i should have read your OP alex. it's rare to find someone talking about thread count in terms of what's on the 1st page. it's something ive kept an eye on over the years because it's an important indicator of the gcb's current health. i think there's nothing to worry about with the gcb now though. don't think i need to step up the posting again anytime soon.
Thanks, man <3. I just feel like, if it only took 24 hours (or less) instead of three days for a dead thread to fall off the front page, there would be a lot more life to the GCB from an outsider's perspective. I love the fact that the community is so significant here, but that doesn't mean that the board has to sacrifice quality threads for it.
If you use Reddit Enhancement Suite you can disable subreddit specific styles. Anyway, your expectations of the GCB, to put it plainly, are wrong. This board, as most others have put it, is about relationships, not content. Many of us have known each other for a decade, or at least have developed friendships that quickly transcend the IGN boards themselves. I think I speak for many GCBers when I say that page 1 threads not replied to since Thursday is okay. We are not here solely to +1 or constantly share memes or even create new threads for the sake of creating new threads. We are here to develop friendships, keep in touch, share fun stuff we find with people we know, and just in general have a good time with internet guys and gals we are comfortable with. You admit we shouldn't turn this place into the Vestibule, but why do we have to turn it into anything? The GCB has developed and evolved itself over 10 years into what you see it as today. And to say you are confused or intimidated with our long threads confuses me. Here's a walkthrough: "Got Something to Say?" - Talk about anything "Post the last gif that made you inexplicably laugh" - Post gifs that make you laugh... or that you find interesting "What are you playing? Version 09.Holidays" - Talk about the games you're playing "GCB TV Club" - Talk about the television you're watching "Ye find ye self in yon GCB Book Club." - Talk about the books you're reading "BUTT/HURT" A GCB game that is now over. You don't have to have a "club" membership to post in any of these. Plenty of people who cruise by the GCB pop into one of them and tell us what they're playing, or watching, or reading. Honestly when I called my TV thread "GCB TV Club" I didn't think I could be any clearer. Sorry if I sound sorta antagonistic, I just finished Skyfall and thought it kinda sucked. I hope you keep posting here in the future, regulars are sure to get a kick out of what I have planned for the coming months.
but your reasons are basically moot points, because they are part of what makes the place an entirely different environment. So I ask again; WHY would or should this board become more like the other when the other already exists and serves its purpose excellently? we don't need two vestis, just like we don't need two gcb's. that would be redundant.
I guess when it comes to growth Alex, ever since we've been in the top 5 boards for positioning, we've received natural growth. If we were on the bottom of the board list or hidden away growth it something we'd have to be concerned about, but it looks like we're just slowly getting bigger. Like I was saying, there's nothing to be concerned about. It might be intimidating to new users, but hopefully that encourages the more quality posters to stick around instead. In regards to returning users, they know what the GCB is all about.
And when we GSfers came over, we brought much the same - a community that most of us have been part of for years to the point we're kind of like a family. That is maybe why we fit so well in here: the GCB offered what we had and what we were looking for.
