Not sure a different platform will change peoples behavior. I can see people have been on here but still dont reply. And notifications are on/off setting that some just wont enable. Same boat different dock Some sailors like to go port to port.... even if we got it just to make it easy to put GIFs in our messages it would be worth it. Id have had a great one of a boat entering a slip (at a marina).

It comes to staying updated with what tech offers. I realize we started when windows 95 was the main platform and sometimes it’s hard to adjust. To me it comes down to something as stupid or simple as an instantaneous gif or more than 5 emojis that no one can even tell what they are. My ~70 year old parents also enjoy a wide array of emojis and gifs so it’s not a generational thing either lol. But as Bobby said if the issue is different dock same boats then it might indeed be a moot point. Which brings me back to my 2nd point and that’s a nice house cleaning -signed, resident jerk Edit: how bout instead of a in/out email in the offseason, everyone has to write a 500 word essay on what jghl means to them and how they plan to make their franchise a winning one in the next 3 years!

My first GIF post wasn't sure how it works

I know I'm in the minority, but I really only use my phone to make phone calls. Even if someone texts me I will just call them back. I don't have the patience for one sentence at a time to be texted to me, or to sit there typing away like a 15-year old girl. And if I do happen to text it's just to say something like "I'll be there in 5 minutes".
It's hard enough to get people to send in lines, log in to the board, or respond to PMs. I'm not really sure how having people download some app is really going to change that. Lazy is lazy, regardless of the platform.

Agreed, and really if people aren't responding to trades but still taking care of their team, we can't complain just because some of us are obsessed with trading....(eug) jk jk

I hear ya Jon I’m the same way. Trust me not suggesting we all sing koombaya and jump on the phone together lol, was just throwing out ideas cause the boards tend to die down during dog days of the season. But mike is right I’m probably bitter that I’ve exhausted trade options with the “usual suspects” and the rest either don’t like me or never answer. Wait, maybe the ones that don’t answer don’t like me either? I guess that’s a possibility, but how could anyone not like me?
