Did you guys even read the manifesto? He's clearly snapped...a lot of his anger seems to be stemming from childhood bullying (white kids calling him racial slurs) in addition to what happened while he was on the force. You just don't praise someone who kills for his own delusional view of justice. Hope they catch this guy soon.

Won't write too much...been up all night trying to get a decent skin made for us. I ran into a few problems with the width of the new default, the CSS was pretty awkward, so it took me longer than expected to match it up with what we had. Eventually, I'll have up the scoreboard. Things are a bit different, wanted to change it up a bit. The default skin still has the right sidebar, but I went with the idea of moving it over. Board is upgraded to the latest version, and you'll find features you've never had before (such as being able to see all of your reputation). Avatars are now your profile pictures, also. I'll have to go into the Settings to make necessary adjustments, though...I believe the avatars are limited in one way or another. Hope you guys enjoy the new skin/format. I'll have a homepage up eventually...really will this time around. I've been pretty busy off the site, but I'll do what I can to make time. Happy EIGHT YEARS.

I should've clarified that I don't think it would be a good move. I don't like this potential trade. I'd rather just amnesty Bargnani in the offseason than flip him for an even worse contract. I was just trying to play devil's advocate with that post by pointing out that so long as the Raptors ownership group was willing to pay the tax, which, in all likelyhood they wouldn't since they'd bee looking at a $21M tax bill in 2015, it really wouldn't hurt the Raptors from a playing standpoint too much. Because of the Gay trade, it doesn't matter if you have Boozer or Bargnani. Toronto's core is locked in until 2015. We are looking at a team that will have a rotation of Lowry, Gay, DeRozan, Fields, Amir, Valanciunas, Ross, Boozer/Bargnani and minimum deals to round out the roster. Almost everything you said is correct. The only real thing I have a problem with is this part: What exactly is Toronto now, if not a treadmill team? The Gay trade cemented that. This team, even if they keep Bargnani, is the very definition of a treadmill team already. - No cap flexibility or real trade assets (assuming they keep firm on their stance of Valanciunas and Ross being untouchables) to improve the roster. -Too good to get a realistic shot at an impact player through the draft. - Too bad to make any noise in the playoffs. They are basically the Scott Skiles Bucks of the past 5 years. Sure, they may sneak into the playoffs and even potentially give a team a scare if Gay/Lowry/DeRozan get going offensively. But at the end of the day they are what they are, which is a treadmill team. Adding Boozer doesn't change their treadmill status.

Man, this feels weird. ..but then again I still want Brandon to develop magic coding powers to bring back a compatible version of the black skin. Somehow.

The "View New Content" section is pretty nice. A lot of options to the left.

Looks great on the iPad, though. Hmm... Oh...and guys, check this out: DiscussHoops.com ‏@discusshoopsJrue selected for All-Star reserves http://tinyurl.com/axecbsx Just copy/paste it into the editor.

Are you sure? http://www.discusshoops.com/images/iphone.png Looks like I need to fix those title bars. Ugh.

Thanks, man. Remember that Cobi Jones drawing I showed you (1998)...? I started a few years before that. Not having much time for it lately but I try and dedicate every free minute I got to this project.
