I tried to do that once during some April Fools or another. The response was not positive. ---

This is my point. 50 threads is a lot of content to create without repeating anything and with the flood control set to 60 seconds, even if you have all the OPs in word and ready to cut and paste, it’s still going to take you an hour to wallpaper a forum. Unless you pick GD, GQ, ConCC, or ATMB, the other posters are still going to outpace you. ---

Don’t be so harsh, there’s a perfectly valid reason for all of this. **What Exit** has created a time machine, and has hatched a plot to snatch various baseball players from the past in order to create the ultimate team. Once here, he’ll give them plastic surgery and funny fake names, have them loose a couple of games, and then make billions betting on them. It’s foolproof! ---

I enjoy the threads. It would be nice if you could create multiple polls in one thread, but you can’t. It probably would have been better if he had parceled it out and just posted one thread on the topic a day - maybe 2. As it is, since I am a sucky poster and can barely get up the energy to post in one thread in a day, let alone 11 I just voted in all the polls and didn’t bother commenting. One or two a day, I probably would have taken the time to comment. On top of that, since the nominations were from 3 years ago. It would have made sense to put together a new round up of nominations. Might have made it seem less out of left field (ha ha) and would have been more of a current community effort. Still. I voted in all the polls. (also, I usually don’t notice when Snowboarder Bo does the quarry thing - somehow I skip them over without paying much mind. But, I always laugh when someone else points it out.)
