Almost had the full slate--will he go back to the World Cup to rectify?

I’d be fascinated by a breakdown of DBR demographics. I’d almost think it’d skew Millennial since that (my) generation came of age during K’s run and during the rise of the internet. I always assumed the Boomers were just the loudest - I mean wisest - voices on here :D

Message boards were already getting to be old fashioned when younger millennials were coming of age. It would not surprise me at all if > 50% of the active board members were Gen X or older (let's say only counting users averaging at least 1 post per day over the last month or something, for example). I would guess one of those generations has the plurality on their own, but I'm less confident in that.

Reddit basketball discussion is a very, very unpleasant place.

i didn't say the discussion is any better...but like DBR, any sub with any sort of decorum requires relatively heavy moderating, and even more so, as the bar for entry is 0 and there is no long term acocuntability.

Reddit basketball discussion is about as educated and nuanced as their political discussion.

So does that mean we can call you 'Boomer Dat'?

Also... What do you think would happen if the GenXers on this board all posted at the same time?
