The last word in this sentence is mispeled.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
i may not of posted pictures but i enjoyed them
Oh well
Are you sure he was safe? It looked like an out to the entire statium. Well bad call Blue.

You guys are no fun anymore ....
I want them back .
Those who were against it , same people who don't like the wild card .
by Ed@northridge on Aug 24, 2011 6:06 PM PDT up reply actions
I think the wild card is one of the best things to happen to baseball in the last 20 years
But a few rotten apples ruined pic posting for everyone. It started becoming overkill and slowing down the threads.
The only thing I don't like about WC
Is that now I have to see the Yankees and red sox both in the post season :-p

it is a tech issue
with SBN about to launch their iPhone app, this site needs the smoothest possible presentation no matter how thick the traffic is and with a pennant race on our hands, why the f not?
funny thing
when i accessed the main site on my android, it wouldn’t access the video for the iphone app.
yeah i know! how rude those of us with droids are screwed

iPhone / iPod Touch / . . . same platform?
Enjoyed the short video but use the iPod Touch at home. Will the soon-to-be-launched app be available for the iPod Touch? They seem like the same hardware pretty much but I’m not sure since I don’t have an iPhone.
yes iPod touch app
iPad app will be form an iPhone configured app, android app in November after feedback about this app is absorbed and implemented.
Some of the pics/GIFs were fun, but they were also an interruption to the flow of the thread.
On balance, I’m glad they are gone.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
I enjoyed the pictures
I also used them as landmarks to help me find my place when I got lost lol

FYI, a little trick of the trade
“Z” unlocks the most recent unread comments and Shift+A unlocks all comments. Much easier to keep up that way
commerce question...
can you post, something like: I’m looking for a bobblehead, or I’m looking for a banner?
oh sure
not as its own special thread without a compelling case (I am dying and my dream in life is to buy a vlad bobblehead is an example of “compelling”), but as a comment somewhere, no problema. I WANNA ACQUIRE is the opposite of I SELL.
I didn't like the pics
Because I’m computer illiterate and am jealous of this who can
And get off my lawn
Well, come see a fat old man some time!

Laughed out loud
This is reason enough to get rid of the pictures. Well played.

Hmmmm
I suspect the actions of a certain few HH’ers ruined it for everyone.

Pics and gifs in gamethreads were the worst idea ever, and I told you so in the beginning.
Now let’s have no more of this.
"It's our money," owner Arte Moreno said.
I was going to cry about the picture rule.
Didn’t realize it was going to be as controversial. assuming the anser will be no. How about a picture allowed thread, and a no pic thread. I feel people would respect each thread, and then you don’t have anyone complaining about too many pics. My theory is that after the non-pic thread gets really dead, the picture haters will come to the party.
Why do you come to my park in a Dodger, Yankee, or Sox hat when they aren't even playing? No ,I seriously want to know.
here is my theory
it’s my blog.
It’s the correct theory.
BOTTOM LINE: Pictures take up a shitload of bandwidth. Not theory: FACT. That is the reason.
Pictures are allowed everywhere on every thread except game threads because game threads use up the most bandwidth.

Can we make an exception for DOV?

I have a hard time imagining the non-pic thread would get really dead. We seemed to do just fine before pics were allowed in game threads.

And you can always put a link to them. Just not the image itself.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
I have you down on the short list
of folks who took advantage of the pics in a game thread rule.
Tell me I’m wrong.

I'm guilty too.
I actually preferred no pics, but I did take full advantage of the relaxed rule. I’m glad it’s back to the old way now.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Add that to the short-lived experiences here at HH
Pics in a game thread
F-bomb rule lifted for one night only.
You had to be there to experience it!

Angels.
ARE WE STILL ALLOWED TO AMKE FUN OF SPC7? BRING THE DH TO THE NL!!!!
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Absolutely
A lesson in when trolling goes bad.

Rev, one question about the no pic rule.
After the game is over, when we light up the Halo, may I post the pic of the lit halo? If not, I’m cool. Just wondering.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
in any thread
but the game thread – if potgame doesnt go up there can still be crazy traffic that gets slammed by phto bandwidth
OK, no prob. I'll post it in postgame rather than game.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
thanks for understanding
it is just a bandwidth issue – we are the biggest, best and most technologically sophisticated Angels baseball blog and handling this popularity requires growing pains.
by Rev Halofan on Aug 25, 2011 10:56 PM PDT up reply actions
So is it safe to say
that the “new tech” SBN deployed was a disappointment if it couldn’t handle the pics and gifs?
