MUST READS for ALL, and especially newcomers!
« on: Mar 11th, 2003, 12:10am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Well, I felt it was time for this kind of thread.  Specifically, I was prompted by one of the comments Bouve made in his "greetings" thread.  It seems as we continue to grow and since we are up to something more, a little different and quite esoteric if you have not been around here, we needed a thread where OUR "history" could readily be accessed by newcomers.  This way they can have a better idea as to what we are up to and have a fair chance to comport themselves accordingly and we can better go about avoiding redundancies (in and of itself a mission of "the Gridiron").  As such, it gives us veterans of "the Gridiron" a place to point newbies to.  This is going to be a VERY IMPORTANT permanent thread on "the Gridiron".  Please feel free to add to the list as need be as time goes by.  I do not think anyone will have to in this first wave as I have it very well covered.  So, without further ado, here are threads that I would consider "MUST VISITS" for everyone, especially newcomers (REALLY KEY THREADS ARE LABELED "IMPORTANT", but I suggest you visit THEM ALL):
 
The Serious Stuff - "the Gridiron" Mission - Standards - How I run things - Funding the Site - How YOU can make a difference

Fellow Gridironers, ESPECIALLY NEWCOMERS, whom I haven't gotten to know well yet and who haven't gotten to know me well yet, my post on the following thread, though not at all crucial to the administration of "the Gridiron" like the rest here, is a little heads up from a personal perspective that you might be interested in knowing/being reminded about when it comes to seeking fantasy advice (in "the Red Zone" and want me to chime in):

Guys, please try to make time to consult my post on the following thread; the incident there greatly exemplifies the kind of chaotic and inefficient (and, ultimately less effective) environment we are trying to AVOID fostering here on "the Gridiron":
