did you show up at the piston forum after game 4?
I've been on their board for the past several days talking smack. Their "moderator" just deletes my posts.
They can dish it out, but they can't take it.
I heard Larry Brown was reminding the team about the Boston Redsox.
Yeah, right, like the Pistons are going to come over here and win 2, back-to-back.
LET'S FINISH THIS THING TONIGHT.

I will actually agree with you. The Pistons board is typically filled with young children. There is very little talk other than Detroit "HOMERs" saying how great we are. The Mods are very quick to take control of the baord. The most common thread you will read there is: "Rip is so hot".........
However I do think we will win tonight. Thursday, who knows. But I feel good about tonight.
Am I supposed to run away and hide under a rock after my team loses?
What do you expect. You come to the enemies forum.
Most of the time, they just post pictures of the 'fro and the mask and don't really say anything. I posted that picture of Buckweat (a.k.a. Ben Wallace's reaction to Horry's 3) on their site and it was deleted almost immediately.
I don't see anyone deleting YOUR posts. Or Mouse's posts. etc. etc.
Which board? I visit several.
There are some excellent members on our board, JoeJam seems to have the best insight and most constructive posts.
Overall an okay board, but nothing like this one. I think I have about 100 posts here and 2 on our board since the playoffs began. A tribute to Kori.
Overall ratings of boards I've visited since the playoffs began from 1 to 10
Philadelphia 1
Indiana 5
Miami 2
PISTONS 4
SA 10
well said.

All the Pistons boards blow ass except www.wtfdetroit.com.
I hate boards that delete ...pistonsnation is like that, that is why i stoped going there...
All the pistons message boards that ive been to does suck.
Ya. There are some good ones, but stay hidden unless your a decent poster. All the people nowadays on the Pistons boards are bandwagoners that delight more in talking about topics such as "Rip is SOOOOOOO hottt" and "Does Rip have a gf...hes hott", and the ever famous "Rip spotting"
I was banned from Pistons.com for spouting off a few years back. There's not much worth while in terms of quality Detroit Pistons forums. That's why I post mostly at national sites. I echo Jochhejaam when he says that he's got more posts here than on the home forum. Props repeated to Kori.
Not that I'm speaking for Kori or timvp, but it sounds like you guys could think about working out some sort of deal where a FSP hosts a Pistons board in exchange for some moderation and/or financial support.
One site hosting the best Spurs and Pistons boards would be pretty awesome, and a big step in FSP's march toward world domination.
I agree... ^^^
.... Imagine if there was an Internet Message Board in the eighties for Lakers AND Celtics fans.
Definitely something to think about, but I think a key to a good messageboard is the people. The board would be nice, but where would the traffic come? If it druged up the same old Piston trolls that the other Piston sites get, no thanks, you know?
The best defense against trolls is a critical mass of knowledgeable real posters who know when to ignore them and when to drown them out.
Like I do with whottt.
This site probably bans less than any NBA forum on the net, and still keeps signal-to-noise high.
Very, very true.
Then again, I don't think I've seen traffic less than 150 people viewing at any given time, and usually well over 300. I'd love to see that with a Piston forum, but you just don't see them around.
Thats right. I'm truly amazed at how well this community runs. Sure, you have your bad eggs, but for the most part the people here rock.
I would love to see such a community for the Pistons. Unfortunatley, it's never come to fruition. Which I just don't understand. There is obviously a great fan base.....but they're non-existint in the cyber world. Too many weak boards filled with bandwagoners,children or homers.
Maybe IF we lose this series, Piston fan will become a little more humble, and chill a little. Perhaps then we would see a better following on the boards.
Nah, just give Rip some plastic surgury so he is not as "hotttt" and half the bandwagoners at the Pistons board will leave.
LMAO! So true!!
