If Embiid doesn't make the Conference Finals yet again this season, we'll be having a thread dedicated to Hussien Fatal and all the threads he has created in the last seasons (Embiid being better than Hakeem, Embiid being the most talented big ever etc etc.)
It's Embiid's 10th season so we'll be having an anniversary.
Messi. Jordan. Ali. Bolt. Senna. Serena. Karelin. Phelps. Rossi. Suleymanoglou. The GOATs.

Nah, it's funnier if we just reply to any post he makes with praise for Jokic.

Welching on a bet is the apex of lameness.

That said, do we really want to give people that do a thankless job for free an additional duty, especially when said duty will inevitably lead to them enduring extensive whining?

lol.

Mods don't need to do anything. Any time he posts, just remind each other that he's a joke and that we shouldn't take him seriously.

Honestly, he should have just taken his punishment.

We cannot live in anarchy. A lawless forum will fall. Mods need to uphold law and order. #Justice for CD_41.

On a serious note I saw another poster with a sig that read something along the lines of [USER] didn't honour sig bet. So maybe thats what CD_41 could do.

I just wish blocking a user completely hid threads they created. Half my Ignores are these guys who make five troll or bad faith threads a week. At least I can recognize a large percentage just by the reddit level titles.

HF has no reason to honor the bet. He's dug his own hole as one of the least respected contributors I've seen here. Besides, if the 6ers fold, we won't hear from him again until next season, unless Jokic loses a series of course.

Yes the problem really solves itself. Making a thread like this just feeds what he likes to do best.

The guy is doubling down on his lameness. He is who he is. Oh and if the internet isn't in the real world, where is it?

Hussein lost a bet with another poster and shouldn’t be posting on the general board during the 2024 playoffs.

Pathetic. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I could have sworn these used to be enforced.
Agree he should be banned. I honored all by forum bets, and would not post all season if I had lost. Not sure why I keep winning those type of bets Lol

Never heard that term before. Is that someone that drinks grape juice a lot?

It's cool that threads can be made targeting a specific user as long as a broader issue is attached. GB evolution :thumbsup:
