SJ.com Style Guide!!! (running thread)

Here are some other oldies.... http://web.archive.org/web/*hh_/sportsjournalists.com/

If you're lucky, you can find the pope on the SJ logo, and the old NewsJournalists board, RIP to both.

 

Remember NewsJournalists.com? June 22, 2003 ...

 

The original thread is great. I just thought it'd be useful to have on the first page all together instead of hidden somewhere in the middle.

 

And look.....NO RUNNING THREADS! Just <shiver> actual topics! How did we ever manage?

 

What the hell were people posting that caused Webby to have this disclaimer up when you try to access the message board?

"The message board is back and running with anonymous posting available. However, please keep in mind that even though you think you are anonymous, you aren't. You might be anonymous to the general public, but not to the computer. So don't post anything stupid that would get yourself into trouble, because some people will try to track you down and sue you. And that's no joke."

 

Someone has a lot of time on their hands.

 

You have no idea...

I didn't have a story come across my desk for about two hours. I had to find SOMETHING to do.

 

And how about this golden oldie?

The discussion of the AP phone list that was sent out over the wire, including a part where AP tried to blame its dissemination on us.

 

And even better...page 1 of "Random Shoutouts." A few of the others are available, I know 2 and 3 are.

P.S. page 6 is where the sportswriter "I could tell the story, but I won't, please don't ask. I swear, I won't tell it. Please stop asking. I'm going to give every detail but not tell the story. Please don't ask." part is.

 

Wow...how did you find THAT?? An all-time great!!

 

Great stuff. It wraps up the essence of almost_famous perfectly:

gay thread, but ...

-girls that approach you at the gym
-my crummy cell phone, which has been stepping up lately
-the internet
-whoever posted the link to 'iwantanewgirlfriend.com'
-36 C boobs
-36 C boobs that are real
-sluts who go out and make their thong visible (straps above the low-riding jeans - it's trashy, but hot)
-sushi
