"ridiculously easy to get around it" Way to stick it to the man bro. Make sure you grab extra mints and toothpicks on the way out. "I also disagree that anything else short of a paying money for news content is freeloading - getting eyes on advertisements is worth something. " Yet, no one said that. I TOLD you what it is worth. The article I linked to told you what it is worth. Publications are starting to tell you it isn't worth enough. Educate yourself instead of defending your ability to save 10 cents per day.

Then you need to send your thoughts into Josh Barnett, the new BN sports editor. I would give examples of the poor writing you find for each author listed in your letter. The opinions on this board are often formulated through the consumption of others, BN writers included, plus the interviews, stats and analysis they present, etc... No one here lives in a vacuum. The $12/season price isn't exactly a high dollar vote of confidence. It keeps the doors open and the bills paid.

If anyone is looking for my support against the Buffalo News paywall, you are barking up the wrong tree. It's their content. It's their business. Complaining about the media has become bloodsport in this country and it has risen to destructively absurd levels. Readers rail against low-quality "clickbait" when the content is free, but if the publication tries to offer higher quality for a SMALL price - people freak out and pound their fist on how they will never pay for something that they think should be free. NOTHING IS FREE. Everyone wants high quality journalism, but no one wants to support a business model that actually employs people with talent to create that high quality journalism. If the Buffalo News made $3 per 1000 clicks on an article, one reader would have to read 1000 articles in one month for them to generate the same revenue as one subscriber. It's absurd. Everyone talks about getting their news for "free" elsewhere. What publication is going to produce a piece like Tim Graham did about Darryl Talley? Some blogger on a fan site? How much time and resources did that piece consume in production? Do you think that was covered in "clicks"? If you want an education in the publishing business, read this from The AthleticTO published earlier this year: https://theathletic.com/40690/2017/02/27/letter-from-the-editor-why-the-athletic-has-a-paywall/ THAT is what you need to know about today's market. It sucks. Stop expecting talented people to work for peanuts. And the "news" you find here comes mainly from paid professional writers. When they go away, the news here goes away. Then all you will have is Chris Brown and Bills press releases to no one. The Buffalo News is asking for $12 for the ENTIRE season. There are cities in this country that pay more than that for one hour of minimum wage work. there are a thousand ways to illustrate just how small an amount that is for 4 months worth of content. If Jerry Sullivan isn't what you want to read for $12 a season, send in a letter to the BN. Tell them to hire better quality AND you will support them with subscriber fees. But they have other writers and produce a lot more content than just him at the moment. Ultimately, this is about the getting what you pay for, regardless of the publication. Journalism was ALWAYS a pay to play endeavor for 100 years. They tried 15 years of ad-supported "free". It's failing. Find a publication you value and subscribe. I subscribe to the New York Times for this very purpose. Attitudes need to change. The amount of hysteria surrounding $3/month is appalling. You don't have to subscribe, but stop expecting something for nothing or something for too little.

The room was perfect, but maybe next year we could park them in a different order? I'd start along the road and build the U out and towards the shed. That prevents the last 3-4 cars being unknowns from being right there grabbing up space and splitting us up. Ryan was on one end and Mike/Rande were on the other.

So everybody but me? What the !@#$. Even my brother made it in the background.

No it doesn't. I should know.

This thread is fine. Please feel free to discuss topics that aren't related to the live Bills game.

Ok, survivor link now works. It appears as though they deleted all the previous survivor groups. When I chose the option to renew it, it gave us a new group number and removed the ability to send invites to last year's survivor members. The link now goes to the correct group. Ok, all set with the above links. Both group numbers changed.

The email invites to the Pro Pick'em were sent out. Something changed with Survivor and I couldn't send group emails out. Maybe they got sent together? The password is either 2017 or 2016. Irritating that I can't change the Survivor password.

So, it looks like passwords won't be an issue. We have converted over to https, but there are some hard-coded links (to emoticons I think) that is preventing some threads from being secure.

A lot of people have trouble receiving the password recovery email that gets sent out. I assume their ISPs think it is spam and filter it out. I'd rather not field a bunch of requests from posters who need me to reset their passwords. Ain't nobody got time for that.

At some point very soon, I will be moving my sites from http: to https:. I don't know if this will have any ill-effect on browser saved passwords, so make sure you have them in case you get locked out.

It's not a crash. Something keeps happening with the sabrespace front page that ties up the database.

I know. I've been crushed at work with proposals and this week I've been out at a field test in a tick infested field. Updating the schedule in the database is just a painful process because of how it is configured. I'll try and do it this weekend.

Have you reported this thread? Have you? Yet, you took the time to write some passive aggressive BS... you either report it or you deal with it.

Seriously?

Why did it matter that this was reported before it happened? Seems rather irrelevant to me.

So, what you are telling me is that you are actually fluid in math and science, it's just that you chose to dismiss peer-reviewed, published research by a professor at the Univ. of Cincinnati because it didn't meet your standard for mathematical rigor? Got it. BTW, please vaccinate your kids.

It's better to just say you didn't like math and science in school. "Momentum" is a term stolen from science to stand as a proxy for one team is outplaying the other or random events are breaking one team's way over the other. Teams have this fictitious momentum all the way up to the point they don't. Then a miraculous thing occurs! The other team now has it! Oh no! Houston had all of this fictitious momentum, up until the point they stopped playing better than the Bills. This fictitious quantity also led to Don Beebe stepping out of bounds and not getting called on a TD catch. And once the Bills captured the lead - do you know what happened? Houston turned around and tied the game. So much for that momentum. 👎👎👎 Momentum. Just an awful fictitious entity to defend.

Like. 👍
