:lol:

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy
The Psycho has been banned for a month.
Charles is The Psycho banned from all of rube chat or just Purple chat? If he's banned everywhere then we'll be down to only 2 reliable Wild chat posters, Justin Case and me.....
JCVD and I have discussed this and The Psycho will be let out for Wild Chat only. We agree that he’s been reasonable there. So long as that continues, he can post there. Not here.

Today will be an interesting test. I plan to pop into the gamethread from time to time. I don’t anticipate making a huge splash unless I have to. Gentle reminders when things get out of hand. That sort of thing.

Just take care of business today and fn end that piece of shits season. I couldnt care less how we play, what the score is, how we win, just go Al Davis it - ie "JUST WIN, BABY"!

It would be nice if Aints pulled off an upset and at least forced Eagles to perhaps bring back Hurts early next week or if Niners get upset (almost no chance with Carr now benched), but I am happy if we get the W today, period.

This message board is run like a high school clique.

The moderators have to use fake names to hide behind to protect their friends in the clique.

They never hold their friends in the clique accountable.

If you disagree with the clique, they call you a bit.

I bet twgerber still has the ability to post a new thread unlike me and he is in prison for being a sexual predator.

Lol, I'm sure our collective fandom will resonate with the Packahs. They'll definitely feel the scary vibes throughout the sidelines that froob chat reigns down on them!

I'm seriously amazed that more posters can't just stfu even after Charles' efforts have been made ckear.

Admittedly I'm far from a saint, but I rarely drag shit on and have buried the hatchet with a few out there.

No one cares what your explanation is regarding your behavior- time to move forward.

All joking aside I support Charles's stance 100%

Only thing I would say is posters should pull on your big boy pants and not get triggered by every little thing.

I asked that you be restablished here so you could talk Wild. What have you done? Well, you made this stupid post not about the Wild. You created a new account that will never be allowd to post. If I see one more misstep I'm banning you permanently and forever. Yore call.

Incredible. The irony is I had absolutely nothing to do with it to begin with, in fact, I even said I don't care if he comes back early so long as the crazy obsessing stops.

Bizarre, needless shit.

PS. How ironic is that the good behavior by all the rubes here the last few days was rewarded with absolute pathetic Viking performance today? Good Lord today sucked.

I will say The Psycho clearly cares or he wouldn't become so emotional nor have gone through at least 3 different logins during his tenure. Too bad because I liked his Wild input outside of his obsession with Dumba.

The board did well today. No snarky attacks, from what I saw. Good job.


If the Vikings performed as well, we’d be talking about knocking the packers out of the playoffs. Dammit.

The bickering is annoying because spirited posters have to scroll past a bunch of keyboard diarrhea to get to conversion about the thread's topic. I never read that stuff; I just assume they're bots, mucking up the board. Having to sift through pages of lame bickering just to search for a real response or some foreshadowed point/take made in the past is nonsense and a waste of time.

The reason this board is "dead" is because Twitter made Froobs lose their imaginations and become lazy with their Vikings takes. They just 'Mr.-Potato-Head' something they see on Twitter or Reddit by taking someone else's full premise and making a slight deviation to it and pasting it here as their own. (Exact same on Polichat) I know this isn't what homeboy is talking about but is the reason we're not sniffing the Golden Age of Purple Chat anymore.

Get out of the hivemind of algorithmic sports takes, and do some investigative "work" while at work, and post some good shit you came up with yourself. Post something people in other forums have to come HERE to read, that they can't get anywhere else. Then start to notice it's YOUR unique take that gets plagiarized and "Mr.-Potato-Headed" somewhere else.

I hope that's true.


One problem has been delt with. Hopefully any other trouble-makers have gotten the message and have decided they'd rather stay.

This can be a good forum. There's a lot of folks with passion and some football knowledge that frequent this corner of the interwebz.

We had 25-30 registered users during the game yesterday and another 25-30 guests reading the thread. The forum was a little slow. Next step is to speed it up.

Thanks Charles!! Come join us sometime during a Wild game!
Geezus!!!! 😂 I just read through this thread, as I saw reference to it in Wild Chat……

Having not come around this place in years, I honestly didn’t know who The Psycho was. I some some things in Wild Chat, but mostly just some obsessions that got a little crazy with certain players, although we agreed on some, disagreed on others. He was actually pretty good to have around there.

I remember from way back in the old, old, old? Dawn….. the Speedyud/The Psycho vs cookie battles…. Didn’t he threaten to track down cookie at a game once?

Any way, glad I’m up to speed on this….. carry on!
