Selena Roberts: entrepreneur

[Buck]

This is likely a db, but in general I won't go to the other topic forums, so I don't know if someone has posted it. Part of my objection to splitting the board into topic-specific forums in the first place.

Anyway, it's a little kooky, but not in a bad way.

I don't think we have nearly enough threads on Selena Roberts.

See, that was on the Journalism Topics Only forum. I don't read that.
I only deal with Anything Goes because I don't think we should have ever separated the board by topics.
It should all be one glorious mishmash of topics, seriousness and silliness.

Were you here in the early, early days of the board(s)? I can recall a time when all discussion was to be confined to journalism. I recall quite a few times where people were told to take it to the fanboi boards if they wanted to talk straight news.

Twelve or 13 years later now, journalism topics is the least trafficked area of the site.

It's the third-most trafficked board on the site. I do like the Buck has held on to this grudge for like nine years or however long it has been since the forum was split up.

I've been a member since Oct. 2002, according to my profile, but I thought I joined before that. It was post-Sports Pages but pre-Wally Matthews.

This version of the site and registration has only existed since October 2002. The only member to register before Oct. 9, 2002, was Lucas Wiseman. You even beat Moderator1.

I like the idea of combining Anything Goes and Sports and News, since at least an eighth of the **** in Sports and News is neither sports nor news anyway. Journalism topics only definitely doesn't get much traffic, but up until two years ago, it and Jobs were the only boards I looked at regularly. I am sure there are others that don't want the nonsense of Sports and News and Anything Goes. Jobs should be its own thing, and within it there should be a full-time jobs board, a part-time jobs board and a freelancer board that includes people who want to freelance and those in need of one.

I liked the pre-SJ board Sportspages.com where the best and most intelligent poster was Anon 3.18
