January 5, 201511 yr We have noticed a whole lot of new posters coming into Soxtalk lately, and the Staff here wanted to take a few seconds to say hello and welcome to everyone who has jumped into the fray over the last few months. Soxtalk is a pretty established community founded over 10 years ago. In general it is a pretty relaxed page, the big rule is a ban on personal attacks. Other than that, just about any topic is fair game, within reason. Out of Soxtalk came it's sister site FutureSox, which is the best look on the planet for all things White Sox minor leagues. Both sites have facebook and twitter pages. Soxtalk is @SoxNet on twitter and found at here on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/27284358753/ FutureSox is @FutureSox on twitter and https://www.facebook.com/pages/FutureSoxcom/620988761259970 on facebook. Now back to the new posters... Out of curiosity, how did you find Soxtalk, and what made you decide to register and/or start posting finally?
January 5, 201511 yr Thanks! Normally, I just lurk and with the Sox stinking up the joint, it's easy to keep my thoughts to myself. But anticipating a fun off season, I had some thoughts I really wanted to throw out there this time. My only regret so far is saying that Bears fans deserve better then Cutler. Oh, and the Blackhawks/NHL thread needed more love, too.
January 5, 201511 yr Welcome aboard everyone. Great to see all these new faces and hopefully you all are getting aboard for what should be an exciting season!!!
January 5, 201511 yr Welcome all! And thanks SS2k5 for starting this thread and posting that info. I never even knew about the Facebook or Twitter pages.
January 5, 201511 yr Don't let us jerkwads scare you away. We get "passionate" about arguing ideas, but we aren't trying to be personal. Just argue "passionately" right back!

I never even knew about the Facebook or Twitter pages. Glad to hear someone got some good out of it. Those pages aren't nearly as active, but they are there and do get some usage.
January 5, 201511 yr Great to see you newbies on the best board in baseball. Keep in mind the pick to click site come April
January 6, 201511 yr I'm a newer member on here, but this forum is quickly becoming one of my favorites. There seems to be a ton of nice people here and they're all Sox fans. What could be better?

January 6, 201511 yr Thank you all for providing a forum for what Irv Kupcinet used to call "the lively art of conversation" – especially about all things White Sox.

Just argue "passionately" right back! and there are times at the end of the discussion, the poster actually do a congrats toward each other. always remember people will not always agree, as long as it is civil and a discussion without getting personal is great conversation. other poster will read and i will tell, they will learn. these guys who post on this site are very intelligent. i am extremely happy to be a small part of this site.
January 6, 201511 yr I joined almost a decade ago, but left to go on a ten year bender after they won it all in '05. Now I'm a born-again Soxtalk poster.
