I'm lovin' this board alot!... Much to offer!
...Hopefully we will start to see quite a few familiar faces over here. But I do have a question for you jhansle1: ... One of the reasons I am posting here right now was the technical issues over at the Trib. Maybe I experienced it more than others, or it just didn't bother them as much... Unavailability of access, long lag-times when posting, etc... It was always a nightmare on game-days. ... Do you think your server will be able to handle a hi-volume event if alot of new members show up?
That problem with the other board really irritates me as well, but the administration's failure to address it, especially with those who inquired, is what really pisses me off. The only time the mods over there made their presence felt was when they were deleting threads which were even remotely critical of the situation...bunch of friggin' Nazis.
Hopefully this board takes off and I can put those tools in the rearview mirror.
It would be great if we didn't have a lot of those down-time issues here. I was excited to try to do a real-time "MYDRAFT" on draft day in which we all posted who we would pick at the exact time that the team was on the clock, then comparing at the end to see who ended up with the best bunch of players. However, the fact that SteelersLIVE crashed pretty much every time we were on the clock made that essentially impossible. I sincerely hope that this works out better. I'll have to go back there to chat Penguins hockey occasionally, though.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

Don't forget about game day either. Sometimes it is next to impossible to log on when the Steelers are playing. Then when I do log on I don't think my posts are going through and I wind up sending 4 of them back to back to back to back.......
I agree with the sentiments above. The technical difficulties of the trib server were very annoying. I don't know about everyone else, but during those really busy periods, a lot of the time I would have to sign back in in order to post. That, to me, is the sign of a server crash.
If the server can't handle the traffic...you should like...upgrade it? lol
So hopefully we'll be alright here. That stuff happening on gamedays was very annoying.
