First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to the board. I am going to keep things pretty simple and not try to over moderate the board. I just want a board that encourages baseball discussion and is fun. Here's the rules; 1. No religion or politics. 2. No multiple threads for one subject. You won't get banned, but I will delete them. 3. No personal attacks. Arguing baseball is fine and expected. But don't make it personal. 4. No trolling. 5. No stalk posting. If I see posters stalking and attacking certain posters they will be banned. 6. No carry over from the other forum. This will put you under target, re-igniting feuds. I am giving everyone a second chance, please do the same. If there are any problems, I would first suggest not posting to opposing poster. If problems persist, PM me or one of the mods. 7. No links to the Cubs.com message board.

Seems fair. What about using too many acronyms and referring to ones self in the 3rd person? This is highly annoying and should make one subject to permanent banishment.

Looking forward to chatting on this board. Hopefully we get more members and can make this board what the Cubs board used to be.

I agree czar, that is the goal. Just need to get more members. Luckily on this one, I can weed out the idiots.

Maybe make a post on the Cubs.com board seeing if there's posters who would like to hop over?

I seriously thought about it. But I am worried about a lot of undesirable posters coming over. I would just delete them, and would definitely need to promote you to mod for that. However, a lot of them are cockroaches and just keep creating accounts. Then again, I think bannings here might be IP bans.

I was just thinking maybe make a thread over there asking who is interested and then you pick and choose who you would like to invite

Interesting to see what Dave thinks. I have been doing that in Bloomer's thread. It just sucks, because you can't private message on that board. It would make it much easier.

Hey Corn,
Appreciate you making the effort to start a forum. Looking forward to the opportunity to talk some Cubs baseball. Hope it takes off and we get some great discussion.
It's just ST but looking forward to Jake vs. MadBum tonight on ESPN.

Welcome to the forum BB, always enjoyed talking to you on the MB. I also hope this board gets going, just need to get enough members to get it going. Looking forward to the game too. Lineup looks like a pretty much regular season one and a fantastic pitching match up.

Good idea starting a new message board, hopefully this works out. I checked out Reddit and just not a fan of it and Cubs.com is flooded people suffering from mommy and daddy issues.

I think this board will do well if we just keep growing it organically. The more good posters we have, the more good posters we'll attract.

Welcome to the board, Chico. I agree about the Reddit page, seems like just articles and news with posters commenting on it. I also hope the board works out. Just need to spread the word.
