achildr1 255 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I'm kinda curious about what other teams fans are saying, like us at LGW. I thought I knew one of the Pens sites but it was pretty lame/seemed like it wasn't used a lot. You guys know where we can prey on some unknowledgable/less fortunate hockey fans? ...besides the Hawks fans that seem to love to share their delusions on LGW....

Guest Scrosby87 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Quick question for you guys----- I don't get to see a lot of Bobby Ryan play, but if it's true he signed 5 years at 5.5....I just can't see him being worth it? He's not better than Getzlaf and Perry (Or even close and never will be)... How can anyone justify giving him that type of money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Real quick way to get banned from the site is going over to team's forums and causing issues. Say no to trolling, I ain't talking fishing. Stay classy folks.

achildr1 255 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 No issue causing in mind. It was more of a joke towards ChiHawks newbie-fans who love to spread their message of ignorance about how exactly the Hawks are going win the next 17 Cups. A lot of Pens fans are like that too, except they have a little bit more reason to be, its called repeated success! Otherwise known as Red Wing hockey. I was curious to see what other fans are talking about, that's all. BTW, letsgopens isn't quite as bad as I had thought/hoped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Say no to trolling, I ain't talking fishing. Stay classy folks. Yeah, I know. I once thought about doing a 29 forums in 29 days thing, where I'd try to get banned from all 29 forums around the NHL. Then I found out about this rule on LGW about not trolling on other teams' forums, so I never did it. I wonder why we have a rule on LGW, which controls what members do on other forums? I mean is it really the mods business what I do on the rest of the internet?

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 half the threads in that forum are just people trying to buy/sell Penguins tickets and merchandise. Not to mention complaints and "ZMG CROSBY'S GODD!!!" threads. Vancouver's forum has twice the number of posts LGW has, but if you read their threads, they're all complaints. Not to mention, just like on LGP, there are no less than 5 threads per page on how Luongo is the 2nd coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 letsgopens is a lot more active than this forum No not quite. I visit that forum every now and it pales in comparison to this one. I wanted to see their reaction to the whole Kovalchuk situation and there was hardly anything. LetsGoPens.com is pretty much all about the Pens. Its Pens talk and ONLY Pens talk. In addition to a lot of Wings news, there's tons of hockey news in general here. During the trade deadline and the start of the free agency period, I just come here for news. I know someone will have seen it on TV, a website or heard it on the radio and post on here. 2 Original-Six and IILeiBlazeII reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scrosby87 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 You must not have been looking very hard on LetsGoPens.com. There is "Penguins Hockey", and then below that is "NPR" (Non Penguin Related for those of you who couldn't figure it out). check it out... Pens fans are very knowledgeable, and unbiased.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I wonder what the Panthers forum is like? Only 4 topics: "Will we ever win that big goblet thingie?" "I wish we had Luongo back" "Why haven't we re-signed Lilja?" "How do you get ice to freeze on a floor? I've only seen it in cubes." 3 IILeiBlazeII, Datsyuk Fan and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean is it really the mods business what I do on the rest of the internet? I believe Matt's reasoning for this is you are a member of LGW and hence represent LGW in general. We don't want the reputation of being internet asshats. You all can think of examples of sites that have poor reputations. You can do whatever you like on other hockey sites as long as you cease posting here I guess. Trust me, I don't really like going to other sites to make sure our members are behaving within reason, but I do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, I don't really like going to other sites to make sure our members are behaving within reason, but I do it. I see the need for the rule. I know how it feels when other teams' fans come here and act like idiots. It is annoying. If they come and bring a different point of view to the table, and add to the conversation, that's wonderful. If I ever went on another site, I would be sure not to use 55fan as a name. The question is whose name I would use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 I've been on LGP for a while, some very good posters there just have to skim through a lot of the Crosby band-wagon fodder. Btw any see Crosby hit that home run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted September 10, 2010 Letsgopens has a good group of fans. I post there occasionally and haven't had any beef with anybody, nor has anyone taken any beef with me. Its obvious when someone comes to another forum to troll, despite how good they think they're cloaking themselves. The ones who are genuinely interested in talking hockey (ie Duckguy) are equally obvious. Just be respectful if you go somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me, I don't really like going to other sites to make sure our members are behaving within reason, but I do it. This. Also, if the members of the other forum discover that the trolling is coming from an LGW member, it tends to cause them to sign up here to retaliate. Trust us, retaliatory trolling is about the last thing we need around here. To get back to the OP's question, LGW is a member site of the Hockey Alliance, which has links to blogs and forums for several other teams as well. You might be able to find a few good sites there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
