I voted for the 4th one, but I think its best the gifs be used for big games, or winning close games. They really do get played out after awhile.

I'm leaning towards absolutely no gif's in the PG thread. Let's challenge ourselves to stick to discussion about the game. The board's cumulative basketball IQ may actually increase if we went this route.

I honestly don't see the big deal with people posting gifs. I think the people that are complaining about it because "they want to talk Knicks" should post like normal. No one is stopping them from posting. It doesn't get "buried".

HER: "Yeah... *rolls eyes*
ME: "No, I'm serious. I'm all fired up from the big win"
HER: "So you look at porn?"
ME: "It's NOT PORN!"
HER: "goodnight"



so i can't post funny/topical gifs because some ballboy/sophomore's girlfriend has found a new excuse to not have sex with him?!?

That's messed up, man.

I hope you're reading this, drekwins... because i should slap you....

if you limit gifs to within the first 4 pages then you must also limit "bball analysis" until after the first 4 pages.

this board is so fun and so unique because it doesn't follow the rules you'd like to follow. this forum wouldn't be where knicks fans go if we start down this path..

I like this idea, except make it a 5 page limit.

I hardly ever post in the pg threads, this is one of the reasons why. But 4 or 5 pages is more then enough time to post your celebrating pics. Maybe even make it a regular thing after a knicks win, but eventually I wanna read and talk basketball.




that's because you're not funny/topical/savvy enough to play them at the right times

LOL

Why can't we have both a Post Game Discussion thread as well as a Post Game GIF's thread?

Many who visit this forum read it while at work, or at home with their family/loved ones. I don't think it's fair to make a Post Game Discussion thread "NSFW". GIF's and memes weren't as common on the internet during the TKF Keys days. We also didn't have much to celebrate during 23-33 win seasons.

This forum is still getting accustomed to the idea of winning games at a .650 to .700 pace. The Knicks haven't won games at this pace since 1997, think about that! That's over 15 years where all we've known is mediocre regular seasons. I feel this thread is a sign that collectively, we're trying to figure out the best way to handle being a fan of a winning team.

We're censoring ourselves based on people who are aspiring to be bloggists or ESPN freaks. Let's keep things ourselves. Don't let it be our national embarrassy! I say keep things as usual.

i have said it before to get rid of the gifs altogether. Nice to see some others coming around to that line of thought.

I am just talking the post game thread, the other threads with well timed gifs are entertaining. I was a big contributor in the "Caught cheating-quick kick-ass games" thread.

The problem with the post game thread is that its all the same crap. Repetitive and boring. The girl photos are lame also and I find it pathetic when you see people asking all the time "who is that chick in your avatar/post?" Not that I havent looked at porn before, but if i wanted to look at that i would go to a different site. Cant have a serious basketball discussion when you know that half the dudes on here have erections because thugger posted a gif of some scantily clad girl.

No one has said anything against having both a post game gif thread and a post game discussion thread. Seriously, I don't see why this forum can't handle two separate post game threads to make everyone happy. I could see the post game loss gif thread being very hilarious.

Screw it, I'll just take matters into my own hands. Watch me post both PG GIF's and PG Discussion threads tomorrow right after the game is decided.

I'm with you, we should just try it out today after the Nets game, if it goes well, then we can keep them separate.

Big proponent of keeping the game thread open. Most of the celebration stuff is happening there anyway.

Then a lil' later a "keys" type thread can pop up as somebody makes it. Maybe one poster will take that up (as TKF did) or maybe by committee.

But it is a real problem and about 2/3 of the forum thinks so. The current arrangement is going to be a turnoff to the women reading this forum but also a deterrent to posters that prefer a more thoughtful analysis of what is going on. A reader often has to dig several pages in to figure out a single thing that happened in the game.

This is a legit option, as well. "PG celebrations/reactions" and "PG analysis thread". I just think the transition (to celebration would be smoother within the game thread.

Really, even if the analysis thread only goes one page it serves its function of somebody quickly coming on and figuring out what happened in a game they missed. I just don't want to have to dig through 10 pages to find one of yours or Remi's or whoever's well thought out reactions.
