So you are saying I'm suddenly $100 richer this afternoon?

Yes, in the exact same sense that Koon is getting "paid" to shitpost at ISD! Though I'd suggest having access to a Koon-free IE is worth significantly more than an ISD subscription.

Sounds like a protection racket. Fortunately IE has a crack mod team to protect you from such villainy.

Can IE just ban someone to selective forums? Or isolate them temporarily to certain threads where they may behave and contribute? Call it Koon-jail.

Sadly, no. We've already looked into banning certain posters from the political threads, but the version of vBulletin that IE currently runs on is too old/ limited to allow for it.

We gotta get ownership of this site, or someone with the time/resources has to launch a new location. We're gonna be the next NDNation with the way we've stagnated with updates. It's painful to spend time on other football boards and see all the neat features they can use, feels like living in the Dark Ages.

What features do you need, man? We can post pics and vids, put a little smiley thingy in if you feel especially vibrant, and like the crap out of posts with hot womens. That's like, all you need, right?

Look, the only feature that annoys me is that someone can change your "title" or whatever the hell that thing under your name is.

It's not really about need, it's about convenience and information. There's a lot of newer features that other football sites have on their boards that you get used to and when you come back to IE it's just lacking. It's like living with a rotary phone when there's push button phones out there....yeah, yours works, but it's inefficient and dying. Some newer bells and whistles help attract people.

Yeah, we can post pictures and videos, but you usually have to use the Embed code to get it to work right...and sometimes it still doesn't work. With newer boards you can just post the basic link to Twitter or Reddit and boom, it automatically converts everything for you. Right now you have to post the Embed code for Youtube videos to show up, but most newer sites you just put the link in and it automatically embeds it for you. Same with newer video/.gif formats like .mp4 and webm, normally these won't even display in IE unless you use that special tag in the URL...and that tag isn't even in the button list above so you have to remember it to use it. Half the time remembering how to do the tag escapes me.

It goes beyond embedding media though. There's functions like the @name where you can ping a poster and they'll get a notification in a post/thread which can be super helpful when you want to bring something to their attention. You can leave rep without a pop up box coming up, which is usually blocked by mobile browsers. You have notifications when someone quotes you or leaves you rep. There's a lot of new, helpful things. I doubt I could list them all because I don't use everything, I'm a bit set in my ways sometimes.

FYI, we got some irons in the fire, and hopefully sooner rather than later we'll have good news to report on this front.

Koon was actually just banned for life from ISD for political trolling. Dude can't help himself.

You gotta tell us the context lol.

I checked his post history over there, and it all seemed to be his “reasonable” contrarian stuff... didn’t see any political posts.
