Papasteeze Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 If the X Games were held at 9am, but you were getting a delayed feed at 1pm, wouldn't it suck if someone just started posting "Tanner Hall Wins" in headers? uh, just an FYI - I tune to NS to get the instaneous results and then watch it on TV - thats the norm.. not saying that there can't be policies here I am just saying that threads pop up instaneously on that forum in relation to FS Quote
Ski Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 well thats just silly. And it really sucks...fans went from having four races on cable TV two years ago, to two last year...now OLN (VS) all but dropped coverage...and NBC only does a couple of early season races. So we're left paying for shitty feeds, or stealing jumpy, low res copies. People in America would rather watch celebrity races pitting snowplowing soap opera stars over real racing. That's just the way it is. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 uh, just an FYI - I tune to NS to get the instaneous results and then watch it on TV - thats the norm.. No, it's not. Do you read the last 20 pages of a book before you start at the beginning? threads pop up instaneously on that forum in relation to FS This might be a major newsflash to you but 90% of the people on this board don't give a shit about Newschoolers or their policies.

Rob, are you honestly saying that you'd get the same enjoyment watching a sporting event that you know the results? I'm not saying you still wouldn't enjoy it, but the biggest reason people watch sports is the thrill of not knowing how it turns out. Like, who the hell would go to a horse race if they knew #5 was winning in the fifth (uh, unless to place a sure thing bet, of course)? Quote
sibhusky Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 For people who don't know ski racing, it'd be like finding out who won the superbowl BEFORE it was broadcast. Wouldn't that ruin your whole day? Gee, let's get together and watch a game, drink beer, cook hot dogs, even though we already know what happens. Quote

First Grade Teacher Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Something screwy happened to this post. I'll try again. Edited February 1, 2007 by First Grade Teacher Quote
First Grade Teacher Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 You can "watch" as the times are posted live at http://www.fis-ski.comThe person was just going to http://www.skiracing.com or Eurosport.com and cutting and pasting results that the person actually couldn't care less about. It was being done as a way to piss a particular person off. If anyone on here really cares about World Cup race results, I'll happily post a dozen links to all the result pages and fan pages I have on my one computer. But I'm pretty sure than anyone that really cares about WC racing already has them. I honestly don't think anyone on PASR bought into the idea that a particular poster was doing it as a public service. Hopefully, the issue is dead. If I "actually" don't care about WC racing, why would I go find the results? Just to piss you off. I doubt it. You keep saying I don't care. How do you know? If you "cared" you would be foaming at the mouth for results! I can't wait for the results and I'm not going to pay extra for the news. Obviously there are people who are puzzled at why posting the results is such a big deal. Maybe they stay silent so as not to start a fight. Anyway...........I said I'd stop and I did! Quote

It's not foaming at the mouth for results, it's foaming at the mouth to be able to watch the race with the same exciting anticipation of who is going to win as if it were broadcast live. No one is paying extra just for the "news" of who one, they are paying extra to watch the actual race. Quote
Ski Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Exactly, Kragan...hey, what exactly is a Kragan? (And I'm sure Kragan would add that it's perfectly fine to post results and chat about racing, before, during, and right after a race...the point is just to not mention it in the header. Man, I feel like we must all be typing that in Latin, or something.) Quote
