Guys are we averse to change or what. I remember when Bourru was inundated with request to change the format for the Forum, and I clearly remember when some suggested that compartmentalization would allow the topics to be filtered accordingly. Bourru worked on that, and presented this board to us and well done to boot. Googe Groups is still status quo and this new format that we wanted for some reason is becoming dormant. I do not get it.

I get it this way Wazz... We are a spoiled and demanding group. We want it all and in every manner of all. Some just do not have anything to say until something motivates them to open up. The old format provides a spontaneous utility which the new one appears not to.
A nice full length post goes great with the new, but the truth is we do not have that many people who wish to lead out on their own. Maybe in time it will take off, but till then I think we will be back and forth between the two formats. BTW your ass was delinquent not showing up for the game. I am still waiting for your teaching as to what ' offensive pass ' would have meant to the Ravens in the early part of the game. I was never into sports but at this late stage, I have connected with football. Took me a while to understand the movement up field via the 'downs' but the excitement has grown with the understanding. Think I will look closer at the Giants in the new season. We had a great time by Nat. show up next winter !

It requires some discipline to stay on topic in a discussion board. For sure it will take time for folks to change their habits/styles.

I find the board allows you to stay on topic, if you notice the original thread on Google Groups changes drastically and the discourse over time bears no relevance to the caption. A case in point is the topic 'Kweyol for Kelly' started by IJ. Bourru has repeatedly stated that he cannot vouch for the continued integrity of the groups. Maybe you think I am nitpicking, maybe so, I just probably wanted to stay in tune with the goings on. But what the heck, it is what it is. You right Bones I missed a good session, I am not missing the big one when the weather warms up.

I believe Bones said it best..."We are a spoiled and demanding group. We want it all and in every manner of all.."
Reminds me of a girlfriend I had a few decades ago !!
Fellas, have no fear. I have no doubt that the BB will take off eventually. It is a gradual learning and building process which will not happen overnight. Indeed, we are going through the same growing pains which permeated google groups in its infancy. Note that we can't seem to do without it now. The same will happen with the SMCAA bulletin board; just give it time. Right now, we're going through the "bathtub process" which is inevitable for successful evolution of any idea. The important thing is that we have launched the board !! The rest will fall in place only with time.
In the meantime, those of us who take time to populate this discussion board will be the catalyst for its eventual success. For this I thank members like IJ, wazzz, harryincali, chopin, bones, inch, Vaughn, Lawrence et al. Together if we keep plugging away, this rocket will launch.
Regards Sammy

So true. Kim Jing Un of North Korea finally managed to launch his rocket after repeated attempts.

Yes. Insomania. Dementia -- and listening to the 2013 TnT Kaiso Monarch competition.
Speaking about dementia - I suspect many of the googlegroupies are stuck in a catatonic state.
