Now, I'm not saying that a lot of the general off-topic chat isn't uncalled for, and I try and do my best to stay out of it. However, that doesn't mean that the people who post in here are less worthy of respect than you or your buddies from the other forums get.
So they do the dynasty thread for you? So if I made a Carolina Hurricanes thread, I would have to reply to you and derail the main purpose of a dynasty thread.

Dynasty threads are to keep people updated on how the progress of your team is doing, not asking people who are following you about their day.

No, here is the issue:

You guys have a "clique" here. It is a vocal minority of users that have decided that you "own" the Hockey Dynasty forum. It pretty much pushed a lot of regular users away because they didn't want to sift through what "Johnny did on his day off". Hell, most of the story threads didn't even involve playing the game anymore, it was just who could write the best short story.

There are other websites out there, and I'm sure they would gladly accept you if any of you wishes to keep writing non-sports related dynasty content.

Re: Story dynasties are finished now (Read before posting)

Since your the boss Ill take your punishment

But I don't think you should punish those few people who havent abused there rights to write storys or spam there threads with useless nonsence. Im not taking shots at anyone, Especially shinderhizzle because he is on of my best friends here, I really enjoy alot of these BAPS here that have a great mix of on ice and off ice material, Example is bhurst99's BAP. I have a BAP of my own and have enjoyed writing and posting game and story updates and now that we are not allowed it shatters my hopes for my next project, Since im not very good at making dynastys I probley wont be doing anything now.

But please, Read my PM I sent you Millenium. IF you decline, Ill deal with it, But if you accept Ill be greatly appriechiative.

And one more question

Can you do story updates on a differnt website and link your followers to them?

You can update anywhere you want and put a link in your signature. Do not create a dynasty and put post after post linking your updates to another site.

Re: Story dynasties are finished now (Read before posting)

Millenium, rocknrolla has made an important point to me over meebo, it's like there's a group of robbers robbing a bank, and the police go in and arrest them and the hostages, it's not fair to the people who didn't do anything. Do you think something could/will be worked out eventually, because even you have to agree that it's not fair. I just thought I'd make that point, it's something I believe you should take into consideration. Do the innocent have no say in this?

At least our 'clique' is welcoming to people. If someone posts a comment in the thread of someone in the 'clique', said person responds and welcomes the person, unlike your Washington dynasty, which I skimmed the first few pages of and all of your comments were only towards people that don't frequent the hockey forums.

I honestly don't see what the problem is. If all of these people have such a problem with us(I feel insulted saying us, as if we're some sort of inferior race), they can just make their own threads and ignore what we have to say. It's like saying you won't play video games because some are poorly made, and you don't like having to see them mixed in amongst the good games when you go to Gamestop to buy your new copy of Madden. It's like saying you won't eat a banana from a crate that has a few over-ripe ones mixed in with the rest. It's complete blasphemy, and I don't for a second give credibility to any of it.

Re: Story dynasties are finished now (Read before posting)

It's a shame that the actions of some wrecked it for all. Some people on this board need to:

1. keep their petty arguments out of the threads.
2. don't tell us about your day. trust me, we don't care.
3. think before they post.

If everyone followed these rules, these boards would be a way better place.

I actually do not agree with this. It is quite fair as I have asked time and time again to clean this forum up a little. It is a cycle that happens - I pop my head in, tell you guys to clean it up, ban 2-3 people who are causing issues, and leave. A month or two later, rinse and repeat.

This ruling is for the foreseeable future. And I look a long way down the road, so don't look for it to change while I am admin.

Re: Story dynasties are finished now (Read before posting)

Really? So many people are getting ripped off though, did you ever think of banning the ones who are causing troubles?

If the Hockey Dynasty Forums were a country, there'd be a civil war going on.
