Rumor on several arenas are that this is some sort of announcement of merger between sites. Not sure which ones.

Some posters are going to have to go, some are needing to be banned and others have to promise to not speak their mind.

Just what we are hearing on the fringes. Several sites to "be named later"

just my opinion but bringing back 80 is the right thing to do.

you cannot give a warning for faba bashing & a banning for ji bashing. don't send us the message that its more important to take the high road for rival site bashing than it is to disrespect faba

Ladies and Gentleman.

Please take your seats. Max will be joining us in about 5 minutes. We would like to take this time to thank the NY Jets for joining us on such short notice. Also the members of the media that are here, we thank you for covering this event as well.

The format will be as follows:

Max will make an opening statement. Then questions will be allowed. Since this is done in message board format we expect the question and answer session to last approximately 3 - 4 days. Please plan accordingly.

We ask that you refrain from the use of flash photography and that you disable all electronic devices including cell phones, palm pilots and that thing in Brenda's pocket. Yeah definitely shut that thing off please.

Thank You.

Would that be like saying the Soviet Union and the U.S. decided to join and form one big country?

Max

Thank you for joining us this afternoon. We call this press conference to address several issues. After my statement I will be taking questions from the media in attendance.

Opening Statement - JetNation.com Press Conference 07/12/06
The State Of JetNation is good. In just over one short year we have around 1,500 members and are approaching 10 million hits per month. To those that say this site is dead, I know the facts tell another story. This site is something that I am proud of. I think it is a site that we can all be proud of. In just over a year we have had more trials and tribulations here than any of us would have preferred. The end result is always the same...JetNation prevails.

JetNation is and will always remain a place for NY Jets talk. We don't now nor will we ever take ourselves very seriously. The goal here is not to get press passes or make a ton of money off this site. The goal is to talk Jets and have fun. It is that simple.

This site is on the verge of big things. With football season right around the corner we are expecting record hit counts. We have a new lineup of editorials coming your way this season that include the JetNation report card by GOB after each game, Tuesday Morning QB by Tyson Rauch, weekly Fantasy football columns and a new soon to be unveiled JetNation podcast. The point is, we work hard to bring you Jet news and to keep the perspective fresh and unique.

JetNation has experienced some growing pains along the way. Some people that started with us are no longer here and that is unfortunate. But JN is looking forward to a future which is bright.

Changes

JetNation.com is free. As long as I own this site, there will never be a charge or fee associated with posting here. This also means there will never be a fee for premium content. JetNation will never again solicit Paypal donations from its members. There was a one time Paypal campaign that raised $1,200. These helped us settle our obligations and get current. Those donations were greatly appreciated but are never expected again.

Through the use of text links and minimal advertising I am happy to report that JN now breaks even each month. So we thank you for your help in the past and will rely on the few sponsors that we have chosen to keep paying the bills.

So there are no changes in the day to day operation of this site. It is still free. We do need to address the issue of personal attacks. These must stop immediately. We have been pretty loose with many of the rules. The rules remain the same:

No cursing may be posted (you may curse out loud as you post if you feel the need to)
No nudity may be posted
Political threads\conversations are not allowed because it gets ugly and NY Jets talk is our ultimate goal here
Personal attacks will not be toleratedThe last issue seems to be where the confusion comes from. What is a personal attack? Everyone has a different opinion. The moderators opinion is the only one that counts. If they deem your post as being a personal attack, it will be deleted.

Respect

We need to increase our level of respect for one another. In many ways we are comfortable saying things over the internet that we would never say to someones face. This can offend people and leads to problems.

Treat people with respect. This goes for the Moderators especially. Smizzy, G.O.B., Faba, Tabor and Sperm have all done a lot of work here. When Storm was a mod he had his balls busted constantly. It is all good and fun but there is a line. Please remember, they receive zero pay. Most days are fun. But some days can seem like work here. Please, we ask you to make their life easier by treating them fairly. We do not delete\lock all that much. If you feel the need to question their judgement please do so in a professional manner. Again, the pay they receive is pretty lousy. Especially considering the amount of work they do.


Beastiality

Still not allowed.

Bannings

Everyone has an opinion on this subject. Everyone apparently has a list of people they would ban if they could. Up to this point we have banned only a few people. Banning is our last resort. All bannings so far have been permanent. I would even say that everyone who has been banned so far has wanted to get banned. They were trolling, looking to cause us grief.

Today I banned 80. He has been warned numerous times about personal attacks. Again what might be labeled a joke to some is considered offensive to others. Best that you not travel down that road most times because it leads to no good. 80's banning is a JN first. It is a 30 day banning. We are going to try this out much like our friends at tgg do. In 30 days 80 can rejoin this community if he still wishes to do so.

Closing

This site can be fun. We need to just remember there are a few rules. We are Jets fans we have enough to be miserable about already! Thank you all for posting here. Thank you all for growing this site. Please stay with us while we continue to grow and bring you more content.

We appreciate it!

I will now take your questions.

To answer the question that was submitted by MSNBC.com:

JetNation.com 's stance on Kim Jong-iL remains the same. As long as he harbors nuclear weapons he will not be allowed to post here. We are trying to be diplomatic with him but we will not cave.

If he wants to post here that is our best offer. Although for a small shack with gold week vacation rights on the Tumen River we would be willing to let him keep some short range missles.

He can take that offer or leave it.

Next question...

3. Only on my anniversary

Green DNA
07-12-2006, 02:02 PM
I will now take your questions.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Max, when you turn into the MSNBot Spider - is that a geek's equivalent of Clark Kent turning into Superman?

Yes. That is exactly what it is.

Max
07-12-2006, 02:15 PM
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

More important than a webmaster. More important that a state governer. Less important than the President. Congress level or higher typicall.

Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

This is why we are eliminating the penny. The return on investment simply is not there.

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

No. Only our souls go to heaven. The body as we know it today, ceases to exist in the afterlife.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

Same reason a manhole cover is round. So it doesn't accidently fall into the ground. Oh wait that makes no sense. Not sure actually.

What disease did cured ham actually have?

Green Jets Disease.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

The next man who steps foot on the moon will be the first. The next person who travels stress free to the airport will also be the first. The point? Many improvements await.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

Agreed. Much like the saying, "They are selling like hot cakes". Cmon if the hot cake market was thriving it would be sold like a commodity. Hot Cake futures were up today on news of a special new batter.

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Yes. Legal aid is required though.

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

Tough one. I will have to get back to you on that.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Because they are far away. And they couldn't see them with other tall buildings in the way. Deeerrrrr.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

If you have a women sitting next to you and you can see her bra and panties please tell me you aren't concerned with this? If this is a cross dressing question then a mod should move it to the correct forum.

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

Yes. The cop might ticket them but they can definitely drive in it.

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

If you were on an Island with Ginger and MaryAnn and no male competition would you try to get off (the island I mean).

If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

He was heavily leverage in Acme stock options. He was penny wise and pound foolish in his pursuit of saving a buck.

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

Not sure but it feels good.

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Huh?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Hemorrhoids are often misdiagnosed. Please come a little closer so I can check.

What does this respnse tell us about the overconsumption of hotcakes among Jets messageboard owners, operators, and moderators? Also, do you know what syrup certian operators and owners(ones run form Long Island would be of great interest due to rumored overly-generous applications of syrups) uses in order that I might purchase stock therein?

Anyone want to fill me in on the joke?

TomShane is not someone I would describe as creepy. When I think of Tom at this point I think of what an amazing writer he is. And I just hope he isn't writing a book about me, lol.

You have never gotten a warning. You are the man. Also a model citizen.

I have no inside info on Alk.

Yes, it looks like ole stupid & jerky has fallen on hard times and getting more desperate every day. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to roam amongst the civilized world, well at least not without supervision and some heavy meds.



Besides, I would hate to be accused of personally attacking someone who isn't here to defend themselves. Lord knows that kind of stuff never goes on at any other websites.

I'll answer #3 for Max since he has no "inside info" I'm not albino, the pictures you saw just happened to be before summer. Unlike that old fart community that you live in, we don't have sun year round and we have to make do. Now that it's the middle of the summer I actually have a tan.

just my opinion but bringing back 80 is the right thing to do.

you cannot give a warning for faba bashing & a banning for ji bashing. don't send us the message that its more important to take the high road for rival site bashing than it is to disrespect faba

Bring back 80? Why? The kid called my friend (Savage) an "old dirt bag"...now, some of you clowns might find that funny. I don't! And because of that, Savage is gone. You know, one of the things in life I have learned is that not everyone finds what you (speaking in general terms) might find funny and the other might find insulting...just think before you post something is all.

jetfanfl, I'm sorry savage is gone as well.(he's the one who told me about this site for which I am forever thankful) I thought he had thicker skin than that though. 80 wasn't the only one involved in the thread which led to savage leaving, and old dirtbag is not the harshest insult i've seen thrown around here.

my reason for not wanting 80 banned is 2fold:

1-stated in my post you quoted
2- he likes me dang it :)

I'm glad to hear its only temporary though. I thought bannings were permanent

thanks tarbor.....you're knack for spotting good humor is impeccable:)

That was the point I was trying to make yesterday. What some people think is funny, isn't always so. Rather than figure out where the line is...just don't hurl personal insults at all.

Yes it would be simple.

Will it happen? No.

You see, that's where a lot of the problems exist...the evil POTW stuff. Posters try to be funny at another posters expense. Not always, but it does happen...it's the old "let me see if I can one up you".

good point max. my reasons were based solely on the faba,ji thing. my inbox isn't flooded with complaints about potential problem posters like yours is. if there was a history of problems behind the banning, fair enough.

JFF-Sav is a big boy and he knows the block that he is working on. What 80 did was wrong in that thread, but Sav was obviously having a bad day.

If that simple thread alone made Sav leave, he has less gumption than I once believed. I would have to believe it was more than that. That is his business, and I will respect that.

I repeat, the name calling that was done in one instance in that thread was wrong, but if that makes a person snap and leave, particularly of the fortitude of Sav, well I would be dissapointed.

You are 100% correct...it is more than that. But, I just won't go into that out of privacy. Savage I think will be back down the line though.

sorry jetfanfl but I come to this board for jet football insight & a nice diversion from my stressful job. its the offseason & I really luv the humor this board exudes. dna for instance, is a poster who cracks me up & I look for his posts cause they're usually wrought with humor. I don't think he ever does it by offending anybody.
I seem to be the butt end of a lot of the jokes around here & do not find it offensive in the least, as I enjoy good humor.
there was no humor flying in the thread that savage chose to leave, & that kinda thread is not the direction i wanna see.

I'm sure the guys you were golfing with had you carrying their balls strapped around your neck.

Sorry Barton but thats not Jacobim Mugatu (though the resemblance is striking)....no,that is Lil' Cletus,and he's not making golf/balls jokes; he's trying to tell you about child labor laws.What is saying is that they're silly and outdated. Why back in the 30s, children as young as five could work as they pleased; from textile factories to iron smelts. Yippee! Hurray!
