Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Well I am going to state my opinion even though it doesn't really matter. I think the only reason Jaz and sirbrian should get rid of a Purdue fan is if they come in here and just say nonsense that pisses people off, but I think that should go for IU fans to even though it is their board. Plus if you IU fans didn't have anyone to argue with, you know you would miss us so lets just all be friends here!

As long as fans from both Purdue and IU are here, this board is gaurenteed to survive.

Especially uncensored. :)

I dusted off my old Chem 101 book, and saw an interesting correlation with this board.

1) The pH (percent Homer-tude) of this board needs to stay within a reasonable range.

2) Purdue fans act as a buffer to achieve this. When IU fan posts are reasonable, we tend to stay in the background, hanging around to read some of the posts. If the pH rises too high, e.g. "I'm 100% sure there will be no further Sanctions", we jump in and call bullshit, and the pH drops back down. (I just realized that poster may have been clever if he meant that last statement as a pun. If so, my bad.)

3) The Purdue fans keep the pH level in check, saving the IU Regs from the unpleasant task of calling out fellow IU fans.

It's all good guys! :cheers:

That's exactly what I meant to say earlier, thanks for taking it to the bones and clearing it all up, Lars.

If it ain't broke..

Just be respectful of others and promote quality conversation and I don't give a shit who posts on this board :cheers:


Remember fellas, there's a reason we left the ESPN boards. It eventually became a troll haven and EVERYONE started getting censored as a result.

My feeling is that if you are a Purdue fan on this board, you need to present what you say in a specific way to get some respect. I'm not an IU fan, dislike them as much or more than any Purdue fan, and I will root like hell against them in most cases, but if you are going to discuss them, you have to at least be logical and keep any hate out of it. It gets on my nerves when there are fans of another team just continually bashing and bashing one team, especially to a group of fans that created this site for you and upkeep it and do some cool things. Keep any jabs in good fun and laugh when it gets given back. Its part of a rivalry, good natured joking. Thats why I think the IU/Purdue rivalry IMO is better than the IU/UK one. The basketball may not be as good, but at least the fans can co-exist and have friendly conversations with friendly jabs thrown in there.

Really, just keep it fun. Talk sports, look at half naked (or completely naked) women, and drink some beer. Thats kind of why we are all here correct?

i'm pretty sure i've said this before on here but just to make sure i'm heard i'm gonna repeat myself.

if i ever sound hateful PLEASE CALL ME OUT ON IT and i will immediately apologize.

nine years ago i was as layed back as it gets but being down here with thes sec fucks i've gotten some fairly bad habits. i love all of the opinions on here and would never want anyone to hide their thoughts...its definitely what seperates this place from all the others...but just like stated above we should all be respectful AS POSSIBLE when saying what we say.

Thanks Again For Inviting Us Here!

:cheers:

We've learned that when tAmazingHoosier warns of "a little vag," it's definitely NSW. :)

Yeah, I could practically see the girl's stomach I think. I don't even want to know what "a lot of vag" is.

I'm guessing it's probably like one of those jokes when you lose your car keys inside of her, go inside, and then can't find your way out.
