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

This girl I work with was having trouble sleeping so she called me, as she often does, to talk her to sleep. We talked idly for a few minutes, and then she asked me what the Federal Reserve was. So I summarized ~220 years of American banking history, including the various central banks, Lincoln's "greenbacks", the year 1913, FDR's outlawing of private ownership of gold, Nixon taking us off the gold standard, and today's economic fiasco, in five minutes. Needless to say, I'm sure she was out cold after the first 30 seconds. B)
