red card Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I think the admins posting socials aren't always aware how scathing their posts can be to their network. And as always, the replies are the main attraction. Edited January 19, 2023 by red card Red and White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I think they are using the tweet as an unofficial poll to see if they should pony up and keep covering MLS this season. I'm sure there are some darts, aussie football or corn-holing they could fill the schedule with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I was wondering why the gym has separate "adult pickleball" times blocked out. BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 @Admin @JamboAl Since there haven't been posts in this section for over a month, perhaps we could keep it up, but drop it lower on the front page so it's not at the top anymore. Just a suggestion. I am fine with keeping it visible as it is a memento and could be interesting for those wanting to look back and others who are new to the forum. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, forgot to respond to you on this. I will log onto the laptop later to see if there’s some way I can move this off the top of the Forum page. I haven’t found out how it could be done on my phone; if I can’t figure it out, I’ll reach out to @Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
