Not trying to take traffic away from eLynah, but would we be opposed to using Reddit instead of eLynah for game threads and general conversation? Reddit.com/r/lynahfaithful already exists but nobody knows about it and there is only one post. I always thought it would be nice to have access to reddit's commenting system as it is more intuitive and allows upvoting/downvoting.

Not exactly a constructive response. Why not Reddit?

Look at the answer on your poll. There are many reasons to be called "Faithful" and Reddit isn't one of them.

Age has been faithful to us for years. While I'm sure that he loses money on the time and effort he puts into CU hockey, this is one of the easiest to read and to post on sites. Unless he decides he can't do it anymore, you can forget about this old guy changing.

Because if we use Reddit, I'll have to learn how the hell to use something I've never once opened, played, diddled with or whatever people do to/with/in that service/app/website/whatever.

Personally, I don't like the upvote/downvote system.  It's useful for really large conversations and for conversations based on knowledge (reddit is fantastic for a question like, "which neighborhoods in [large city] should I look at for housing given these conditions or concerns" since you'll get the best responses moved upwards and all).  But for ranting about sports, I like the basic thread format we've got here.

Someone should add a second post on reddit that says "come to elf.elynah.com".
