Well, I'm desperately hoping it'll be a better one. :)
(Actually, that one wasn't horrible, just utterly unconducive to starting a message board discussion.)

Based on his earlier posts, he's under the mistaken impression that we're a clone of the GSN board; actually reading a message before replying to it isn't considered mandatory there. He'll learn eventually.

Boy all you did was not read the topic, the quote you replied, and came close to a Rule Five violation, all in one shot.
Go back to the GSN boards if you don't like it here. No one will miss you.
-
I knew it was a complete boondoggle over at the GSN boards, but is it as bad as "Has anyone seen this show?" and then just waiting for "Yes, I have seen the show."? That's what IM and e-mail are for. As usual, I think I'm vastly overthinking the situation here.
-
Well I read what Chris wrote. He said "No! Next Question Please". It is like you guys don't care what anyone has to say unless it has to do with game shows. I don't like Poker either, but hey the guy was just trying to see if anyone here liked it. It is obvious no one does. I am not trying to be a mean person. Heck I know how it is trying to get someone to type some english. You guys know how bad it is at the GSN boards. I am not innocent in any of this. I just wanted to know why you guys can't be a little more nicer to new people. Now go ahead, Flame me.

How about you get some more posts under your belt before you try and take cheap shots at everyone else? I won't get into how you didn't bother to read Chris's comments. What kind of discussion did the OP expect? "Does anybody watch [the show?]" It looks like he wants a yes or no answer. If he wants a discussion, he should indicate that.
Does that sound harsh? Maybe. But, I'm sick of people bitching and moaning just because someone makes a smart-aleck response. What's next, an ATGS comparison?

While we don't rule with an iron fist -- we've had some threads veer off-topic and no one's been disciplined for it -- you look awfully silly criticizing the members of, well, a game show forum for expecting game show talk. Never mind that this isn't really the issue here.
I just wanted to know why you guys can't be a little more nicer to new people. Now go ahead, Flame me.
I fail to see how Chris's comment amounted to "flaming." I'd say that maybe he could have been a bit more descriptive, and had I been the one who responded, I might have. But he did nothing wrong; as Brandon pointed out, if the OP was trying to spark a discussion, he didn't really do a good job of it.
You guys know how bad it is at the GSN boards.
Actually, you'd rather have us be more like the GSN boards, where people aren't expected to stay on topic or follow basic netiquette and where people actually are suspended or banned for expecting others to do so. Heck, you found it necessary to bash us (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=10817&view=findpost&p=121444\") just for trying to get someone to stop breaking our rules, and you held up the "bad" GSN board as a model for us to emulate.
It seems that you're upset not because we allegedly treat people poorly for not meeting our standards right off the bat, but because we have standards in the first place.

Yes that is it. Give new people a chance to get to the Rules of the forum. Most new people don't even pay attention to the rules. Again I was not trying to be mean. I just want you guys to give the newbies here a little time to get used to stuff. I like the three strikes rule, but just don't do it right away.

Do you realize that you just contradicted yourself? But then, you're not consistent about how "bad" the GSN board is, so this isn't surprising.

Let's see... you "know" how bad the GSN board is... and yet you want us to be more like it. And we should have rules but not enforce them... because the "bad" GSN board does the same thing. Er... no.
I'll remind you again that, in the earlier post of yours to which I linked, we'd explicitly said that dad1153 kept breaking rules after being reminded several times -- and you criticized us anyway. The fact is that you don't want anyone to have to follow the rules here no matter what. Sorry, but that's not going to happen. Most of us are adults and we expect that our members will behave like adults. (That is, after all, the first of our rules (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?act=boardrules\") -- you know, the ones you want us to have but not enforce.) And adults, unless they're in politics, follow the rules.

Translation: you know that your proposal to have rules but not enforce them really is as contradictory (not to mention outright silly) as it sounds, so rather than try to defend it (or to explain how that really wasn't what you were saying), you're going to pretend that this is about spelling and grammar, then take your ball and go home.
We don't expect perfection or anything close to it, but we do expect more of our members than the GSN board does. If you can't meet those expectations, then perhaps you're better off there, as "bad" as you said it is.

You know, there's a lot I could say to you, but because I actually know how to follow the rules, I won't.
You need help. You come here attacking people for making smart-aleck comments, then when you get called out, you start whining and trying to make everyone else the bad guy. Maybe if you'd take accountability for your actions, and stop crying, you'd get somewhere here. By the way, running is a cowardly move, esp. when you'll be right back to bitch about how bad this forum is.
Hint: you don't know nearly as much as you do, so you're only making yourself look like a dumbass. Go on, call me names, because I know you'll be back, and you do too.

Amusingly enough, since I'm a copy editor, sitting and looking and making sure every sentence is correct is exactly what I do for a living.

At least this guy has a sense of humor.
To answer the OP's topic: I watch it on a rare occasion, but most of the time the J!/WOF hour cuts into it, so I don't get to see it as often. Plus I don't understand the appeal of TV Poker. I think it's more fun to play than to watch.
Unless it's Celebrity Poker Showdown. Now that's appointment TV for me... except Bravo would rather air Law & Order: Criminal Intent reruns instead.

Unfortunately, from all indications, it looks like "Celeb Poker Showdown" has gone out of production completely. Phil Hellmuth, Jr. was the kiss of death on that show.

It was starting to get a little played out, but yeah, you'll notice that swapping that asshat in for Phil Gordon helped not one single bit.

If you read the rest of the thread, you would see that some of us do, and some of us don't. Still, if you're looking for a discussion all about big name poker players, then yes, you're probably in the wrong place. Sure, it's on GSN so it technically qualifies, but most of us prefer to discuss the more traditional game shows. I'm sure there are plenty of poker discussion forums.
