You won't find a better group of people than the ones here. Fun and informative. Players tend to be pretty liberal with their comments as gamblers often do....I'll paste the thread about things most board members have in common so you can see the type of people you will find here...You will enjoy your time here.....http://derbytrail.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=common

We are just one big happy family, right Rand?

So many strong bonds have been formed from here (and the old ESPN board). I guess maybe sometimes we should be more "sensitive" to new posters. Just like it when newbies earn a little respect before calling others out.

Oh no, we aren't a happy family. Dysfunctional at best. But it doesnt mean the people aren't 90% good at heart. Therefore its a good group.

Right, there are some. But I'm only close to a few on here in actuality and see them 3 times a year or so....Its kind of a neat online relationship if you think about it....I don't talk to my best friends everyday, but I talk to this haphazard group 10 times a day. So we are connected. Even to Andy.

Sorry we're not living up to your high standards, Tits...err Grits.

No picture, PP? I'm highly disappointed.

But sometimes it just gets to be too much, trying to follow a good thread that has been hijacked.

Blame Kev. He is like the Taliban on here when hijacking.

I'm trying to be a better poster for Grits, Cajun. She brings alot to the table and I don't want to lose her.

Hoss...if i'm not mistaken the thread she's complaining about is the "buy a horse at auction..monkeys fly out of your ass" thread. Totally ridiculous thread considering a handful, at most, on this board will and/or could be in that situation one day.

It's ok to dream but that doesn't make for a great thread IMHO.

I believe that was the thread being referred to as well... and sad as it is, that thread was fairly tame compared to most that have been "hijacked."

I will attempt to tone down my joking posts as well.

she will come around to our sense of humor...


but I agree that you do need to stop hijacking threads Jamie....

I've been relatively quiet on here lately...

You were solely accountable for last night's hijacking, Kev.

J....not wrong at all to say that bro. You feel how you feel.

I freely admit I am more guilty than anyone else...old habits die hard I guess. FOR YOU...I will make an effort to tone it down.

I only stated this because, as DaHoss and a member that messaged me, agreed, it does make reading a thread difficult. And the concern is a legitimate one, whether one is a new member or a longtime family member. That's not important. Connecting with others is.

And honestly, the sexual posturing, maybe take some of it the private message route, because, it's not something most are interested in, if they're not the ones involved.

I guess I'm saying voyeurism just ain't my deal. Doesn't do a thing for me. LOLOL

"Being from the south and all it's hard enough to read a paragraph, much less 50 posts in a row with sexual innuendo. Omg slow down guys LOL. *bats lashes*"

You can't be for real.
