I just feel we need a thread to welcome everyone. I expect some new members shortly ( sure hope I'm not wrong)

I'm from the ESPN board where I go by haroldseattle I'm trying to get my handle here changed to that. I'm a die hard Seahawk fan, as I'm sure you are to. Anyway, I like to get to know the CBS posters, I heard that some of you really go deep with the research. That's great ! On the ESPN board we have guys that are draftohlics and know there stuff, now if we can just get them to start posting here.

Lets start introducing ourselves to each other.

Hey Harold, It's been up and down on the ESPN board for a while. But I'm ready to just talk football without the trolls popping in every.single.time.

I've lurked on this site a few times before but it seemed dry. I'm sure it will pick up as more and more posters come from ESPN, which I'm sure will continue.

Welcome in, guys. As to your concerns about trolls, I and user Misko are mods of this board. We generally discourage trolling team boards, so if you have a problem, we'll deal with it.

I should note that some features of the site (sending pms, some profile features, making bets on games with vcash) become available when you hit 50 posts.

Thank you for the welcome Harold! I'm a CBS transplant that went by seahawks_8 on those boards, it was time for an update on these. Glad to have SportsHoopla at this point, the interface is much better.

It's easy to embed YouTube videos. Just wrap the video code (the code after the =v) in [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] with no spaces in the brackets. Make sense?

Welcome, fellas. Real happy to have you guys. :suds:

You can post youtubes here. If you hit 'post reply' or 'go advanced', you'll see the youtube logo in the editor.

(1) Go to youtube, and take a look at the link. Here's an example:

'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AuvapArtkg'

copy the part after the = sign (that I have bolded here)

(2) Hit the youtube option on the editor, and then paste it between the '['youtube']' '['/youtube']' tags (the quotes won't appear - I had to do that so the software didn't interpret that as another vid. You can also type in the tags manually). The video will be embedded:

Thanks Doublejive. I like to talk with opposing fans, well mostly seahwaks, because it has become a good rivalry as of late. Both teams are built the same and both pretty damn equal. Should be good games for years to come. And being able to have friendly banter and quality sports conversations will just make sports that more enjoyable. Plus I don't mind eating crow if I am wrong :)

Good to see you here Sonny,
Like you I lurked here wanting to give it a go, but like you said, it was dry here. Now is the right time to get this board rolling. Now we got enough posters to have a conversation and that will help bring in the others who have lurked here.

The trolls on ESPN have been way over the top. Now we can actually talk football, rather then have a insult fest.

Howdy, howdy. I'm new to this forum. I was/am an ESPN member but it seems the boards are dying there. Its really amazing how a couple of posters who only wish to aggravate people can be so effective at disrupting a good time.

Here's to SportsHoopla! *raises glass*
