Here is my annual "it's the off-season" post.
During the regular season, the board is pretty tolerant of off-topic threads but they tend to be at a minimum because there's so many other things to discuss. But now that the season is over, we will run out of stuff to talk about especially those folks that don't follow the WNBA or recruiting. So, feel free to post OT threads in addition to discussions about UConn and UConn alum, the WNBA, the European league, etc. In the past we've debated best pizza (a topic almost as volatile as Red Sox vs Yankees), discussed college majors, careers, vacations....so many topics I can't remember. If there's something you've wondered about your fellow Boneyarders, ask away. Please do remember to steer clear of politics & religion; those threads will be moved to the Cesspool.
The off-season is also a great time for fans to learn more about basketball in general. Don't know the difference between a small forward and a power forward? What are people talking about when they call say someone is an off-guard? If you've wondered about this stuff, go ahead and ask. RESPONDERS - please be kind to the people asking questions and remember there was a time you needed to learn these things, too. Any posts that put down a person asking questions should be Reported (click on the link at the bottom of the post that says Report) and it will flag the post for moderators.
Are people interested in a Lurker Day? We didn't have one last year (my fault). For those who don't know, Lurker Day is a period of time, usually 4-6 hours, when only posters with less than 75 posts can talk on the board. That means that none of our resident know-it-alls can dominate a conversation. I know in the past some people have objected to the term Lurker but all that means is someone who tends to read more than post. It doesn't mean you hang around in street corners with nothing but a raincoat on
So, enjoy the board in the off-season. It can get quite lively here and I do like that we have more visitors from other schools. I hope more of you come out of Lurk mode.
