    Alonso. They haven't replaced that power.
  2. Lefty Specialist
    Shouldn't it be Myanmar Shave?
  3. Lefty Specialist
    So, in other words, udderly useless.

    No offense, but it's hard to look good when your colors are brown and mustard. I'm glad we have [MetsBlue]blue[/MetsBlue] and [MetsOrange]orange[/MetsOrange] to work with.

    The Unisphere is also a registered trademark so forget about using it.
  6. Lefty Specialist
    Definitely #3 for me.
  7. Lefty Specialist
    Ditto. I think we have a winner.
  8. Lefty Specialist
    And I agree with the directional arrow!
  9. Lefty Specialist
    I would think there are MLB restrictions on using that official logo.
  10. Lefty Specialist
    The blue lettering needs to be more 'Met cap blue' rather than navy.

    Another vote for Grand Central Mets. The 7 train even stops there.
  12. Lefty Specialist
    This.

    Well, I would think the forum name would be the overall site name. If it's, say, 'Mets Journal' then the forum would be 'Mets Journal Forum'. That seems pretty clear to me. You wouldn't name it the Crane Pool Forum any more than you would name it the Spanky and Our Gang Forum. It's all part of being a piece of the bigger entity.

    Or maybe instead of Amazin' , they use Amazon'.
  15. Lefty Specialist
    To maximize the SEO, I think it should be called the Amazin' Metropolitan Lindor Soto Mets Citifield Seaver GaryKeithRon Piazza Krane-Pool. Or the AMLSMCSGKRPKP for short

    So we've been batting this around for 9 days and 8 pages. Most people who frequent this forum have weighed in by now one way or the other. Knowing that this old place won't be totally going away and will be a refuge if things go sideways is a BFD, as Joe Biden would say. A banner indicating the address of the new place would be needed, but that's sitemoving 101. It'll be easy to screen out BatMags if he decides to sneak in- we all know his style of writing and abuse, so he'd be picked up pretty quickly. It'd be nice to try to contact those who've fallen by the wayside over the past few years but i don't know if that's possible. I'm ready to load Granny, Jethro and Elly Mae into the truck at this point. It won't be what we had, but what we had is slowly dying, and there's at least a puncher's chance the new place will be better. It'd be nice to get things up and running by Opening Day so we can bitch and moan over things Metly at the new place. Again, just my .02.

    So, Buzzfeed?
  18. Lefty Specialist
    Oh well, not a cheapie. 3-0 Cards.

    Tong looked sharp in the first, a little less so in the second., but two scoreless. Tong still looks like he's 16.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Gary Cohen and Kaity Tong announcing, with Mr. G as the sideline reporter. "Those winds out of the northwest at 16 miles an hour really held that ball in the park, Kaity"

    Bleh. Nice to see a Tauchman HR. I think he'll be a useful addition. I know most of the pitchers today will never see the najor league roster, but jeez, those walks. It was like a horrifying replay of the second half of 2025.

    I have a 1 pm appointment with our accountant to discuss our tax return. I will DVR it, however.

    They're standard team sites. Articles, analysis, I'm sure there's a game preview and re-cap in season. They look to be clean and well-run. Yes, there are ads, but they don't seem overly intrusive. The forums are....eh. Of course, what can you talk about if you're a Marlins fan? We could probably provide a little je ne sais quoi if we were the Wal-Mart greeters at the new forum. It's inevitable that the CPFishness would get diluted over time. That's life.

    I'm glad I taped it. I fast forwarded until there was a hit. So I was done in about 5 minutes.

    I belong to a very esoteric collectors organization. They have a website and had a forum that had grown moribund after a few years. I'm also a member of a forum run by an outside group who was a little more 'out there' than the organization. Over time, the organization realized the worth of them and brought them into the tent. The forum link from the main organization's page linked to the outsider forum as they got far more traffic/engagement. It was a win-win for both. The organization didn't have to run the forum, and the outside group benefited from more eyeballs. The outsider group retained their name and you can access them totally separate from the organization. Now I can pretty much guess the answer here, but is that a possibility in this circumstance? Name changing would probably be neccessary, but does this kind of hybrid solution work?
