The page doesn't go anywhere; it dynamically loads your post into the page. That's why it doesn't take you anywhere, there isn't actually a page load during a reply, it just adds the reply to the end of the thread.

100 posts, or 365 days.

No app. It's something we'd like to develop, but the cost is tremendous. The more sites we operate, the more feasible it becomes.

Oh, you really don't want to.

This is the link to the Mets forum: https://grandcentralmets.com/forums/forum/6-new-york-mets-talk/

Word filter scaled way, way back. Most common swear words will go through just fine.

I've mastered the bass-ackward relaunch at this point, but yesterday was even more bass-ackwardish than usual.

I don't know if this is a hot take as much as it's perceiving Semien in a way differently than I perceive him.

Cody wrote this for DiamondCentric early in the offseason, and asked that it be ported here. I also do not agree with this take.

Ah yes, the permissions on that forum were weird, I updated them maybe an hour or two ago.

The three horizontal bars on the top right is all sorts of messed up right now, but I should have all the links updated within the next day or so.

You motivated me to search for something I've never looked for before: a tool to isolate usergroups, and move users en masse. Everybody with an account here is now an Old-Timey member, which means this thread is now irrelevant.

That's weird your cellphone is struggling, as we don't had ads running. Badly-coded ads are often the biggest culprit when it comes to difficulty navigating on phones.

For sure, and I'm happy to add anyone who wants that access. The reason I'm getting out in front of it is because there's political talk in that forum, and we'll be attracting new users. I've seen what happens in those forums when new users are given access immediately. It ends in bans, and lots of headaches. This way we have a natural buffer of existing members not being exposed to people who register just to stir trouble in political threads, which is sadly common.

1. We can't change the top navigation to "Crane Pool Forum", there isn't enough room on phones for that to fit. But I can certainly add it to the forum main page, I will add that to my list of tasks. 2. Yeah, that's an SEO thing. It will help that forum climb the rankings in the very-common search of "mets forum". 3. Yes, there's a whole subsection of the site that's highly customizable. It's called the activity feed, and I'll get a blog post up on it soon. Look for the newspaper icon near top right of all pages. 4. Ugh, I completely forgot to turn off the profanity filter, it's on by default. I assume you all want it back on? I can do that.

Top of every page, big orange "forums" link.

Okay, so what we typically do to prevent asshats from destroying the off-topic forum is that we hide it behind two things: 1. Post count 2. Time since registration After X number of posts, users are moved to the Old-Timey group, which can see that forum. Because we just migrated users yesterday, sometimes this functionality is broken. If you'd like access to this forum, just private message me and I'll toggle it on for you.

I've been thinking of this for awhile, but until recently we never had a centralized spot to bring our sites together (now DiamondCentric.net). If there isn't enough traction for a league on this site alone, we can expand to a larger pool of sites, which should bring in plenty of users.

We're looking for front-page contributors to write Mets content for the 2026 season! If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Mets takes, this is the perfect place. While we generally lean into analytics and analysis, we also take a “come as you are” approach to baseball and give writers a lot of leeway to write about the game in a way that interests them. That could manifest in historical pieces, previews, or regular series. It’s a matter of finding your niche in the fandom and carving out a space for it. If this is the kind of baseball talk that interests you, please reach out via email at brock.beauchamp@grandcentralmets.com or reply to this note. It is also noteworthy that we pay our content creators. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. If you know someone who might be interested in creating Mets content as a side job, please share this with them!

Oh hah, you visited during the four minutes the Mets forum was missing as I merged content. Bad luck on you. 😀

Image courtesy of © John Jones-Imagn Images Welcome to an all-new front page here at Grand Central Mets! Along with being a long-running forum for fans of the Mets, we will now provide fans with thoughtful articles from fellow fans and writers. It is all part of an ongoing effort to create a one-stop-shop, a community for passionate Mets fans. Before we discuss the articles, you will notice that the forums are still complete and in mostly the same spot as before. It’s all still there. The only addition you may notice is that there is a new forum for commenting on the front-page articles. So, what can you look for and expect from the front-page articles of Grand Central Mets? To answer that, I’d like to encourage you to click on our sister site, Twins Daily, for what you might see over time. Here is what you may find over time: Deep statistical analysis on a player or topic. For those who enjoy looking into baseball's many advanced statistics, some articles may help provide reasons for team or managerial decisions, situational analysis, and more. Minor league articles. The plan is to have daily minor league reports on the Mets affiliates throughout the minor league season. You will see how the teams did, how the players performed, some highlights, and more. In addition, we will provide prospect rankings and more. Player profiles on major-league players or minor league players. As relationships are developed, we hope to do some player interviews and stories. Maybe there will be stories on current minor leaguers, big leaguers, or even former big leaguers who call New York home. News articles from the day. If a player gets hurt, we will try to analyze how the front office will adjust the roster and maybe how the manager will alter lineups, rotations, roles, etc. Trade or free agent analysis. Draft coverage before, during, and following the MLB Draft. Historical articles digging into some of the great (or not-so-great) Mets teams since the formation of the team. But the history of baseball in New York is incredible, and we'll look back at aspects of it. Video! In the coming days, we’ll roll out our video section, which will feature short videos about Mets' major and minor league players. We are not looking to duplicate Twins Daily. This community is already so very strong, so passionate. We want to add to that community and provide more options for Mets fans to connect to their favorite team. The articles, much like the writers, will likely evolve, and that’s a good thing. What if I want to write for Grand Central Mets? That’s a great question. I’m glad you asked. First, feel free to reach out via email at brock.beauchamp@grandcentralmets.com or contact any of the other writers and express interest. But, you will also note that the user blogs page exists (top of every page, giant "Blogs" link). If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Mets takes, this is the perfect place. We will frequently be monitoring the blogs, and if we see quality writing and interesting topics, we may reach out to you about writing on the front page. It is also noteworthy that we will be paying our front-page article writers. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. We ask that you support our writers by clicking on their articles, reading them, and leaving comments, questions, and feedback on the topics. This is just an extension of the forums and another means of enjoying following the Mets. I am seriously looking forward to knowing much more about the Mets, their farm system, and more.
