So, what's it like on this board?

I'm an Iowan. The FSU diaspora brought them to the shores of HROT for many years. Turns out I like most of them a lot better than most Iowa posters. Thinking I might hang out here awhile.

That said, I just perused the thread titles here.

I've had a house near downtown Tampa for the last 21 years. I've barely been there for the past 2 years due to helping out with elderly family members with health problems. 10 years in Palm Beach and 25 years in Miami before that.
I have a buddy who is from the Palm Beach area. Involved in the sugar business. He lives here in Greenville, SC now. His wife brought him home.

@alaskanseminole @brian Nole
thanks for the heads up.
So it’s official that HORT went paid? Any reason given?

Ryan and Motel Beta Kilo. Apparently one of Ryan's alts (Gibbs) posted AI pictures of Kakert and was talking trash about Kakert's wife yesterday. At least that's what I've been able to piece together from various chats and posts.

I messaged Tom and asked, but haven't heard back. Our assumption is to purge the board of the recent influx of multi-handle trolls. It was getting out of hand and apparently I missed some personal attacks by gibbs.

You would think it would be easy enough to ban based on IP addresses. Never understood why they allowed multiple handles time after time.

I vote no- other than @baltimorened, these offshoots from other boards have literally only been stupid trolls or rage filled incels and conversation is now at a minimum on this board. It's just angry tirades or sh it posts
None of the the Iowa/FSU posters who have showed up in this thread are trolls. Frankly, if we all just stay here the hawkeye board would have about 10 to 20 posters left who are not trolls.

I would say 40%.

Nice to meet you.

What percentage of this board is MAGA?
There's more non-MAGA than MAGA, but the MAGA guys word vomit continuously so it makes it look like there's more than there are.

I'd say 10% true leftists, 30-40% pubs that say they dislike MAGA but hate dem policies so they voted for Trump, 30-40% MAGA diehards, and the remaining 20-30% are prob "independents" that lean center right but loathe what the republican party has become

I will add that I was at the Jan 1, 1982 Orange Bowl where Clemson won the national championship. One of my father's college friends was a pastor in Summerville, SC. He came to town for the game. I remember being fascinated by the Tiger doing push ups on the elevated wooden board after every score.

I'm feeling catty today, apparently. The guy you responded to is like the old woman from The Notebook. If you coax them along for a really long time they'll sometimes erupt from their fog and show some cognitive ability. It's rough, it really gets your hopes up. Then they go back to normal and you realize it's better just to smother them with a pillow (proverbially). I can't remember if that's how The Notebook ends.
Welcome gentleman
If we’re referencing movies, Dpic is this boards “Boggs” and he loves fresh meat

This board needs a maptap thread. Tomorrow though because I think I had my worst score of all time. Apparently, Bhutan is not on Africa's gold coast.
Please feel free to start it. Maintaining that damned leaderboard was a lot of work 😜. I kept accidentally deleting rows and then having to search through pages and pages of threads to rebuild it. I will maintain the one over there (I’m on a paid account), although I guess traffic will drop to a trickle.
