  • Forum Rule Addition

    In addition to the previously established forum rules that can be found here:




    The following rule has been added:

    "True" or "Real" Panther Fans:
    Whether you can only get to the McLeod for one game a year and can only keep up with the team on the web, or you attend every event home and away - you're a Panther fan. If you just started watching the Panthers during the magical run by the football team in 2005 or actually saw the construction of the Dome – you’re a Panther fan.

    Do not question anyone's fandom or whether they are really a Panther fan. We all choose to be fans in different ways. There is no such thing as a "true" or "real" fan. ANY discussion of what kind of fan someone is can only lead to insulting or offending other users, therefore posts/threads that question someone's fandom are not allowed. They will be subject to the same standards and scrutiny as the already established rules.


    Thanks and good day!

      Bush league. Will Ferrell kind of humor that I don't get or care for! If it isn't an attempt at humor then it's bush league.

        This was Matt's idea and it's a very good one. It's something we should all begin to embrace. Thanks for posting that Matt.
        Completely agreed. Nothing personal against those railing against "unreal fans"...but the logic in posting this rule is inescapable. The logic in wanting to build your fan base while at the same time ripping people for not being "true" fans is, well...moronic.

          OK, I think this thread needs to be pulled up in light of the bickering in the last couple weeks. Like the rule or not, it is what it is. I'm 100% Panthers and never got into the whole Iowa/Iowa State thing, but I think this rule needs to be remembered here. Everyone needs to take a step back and stop harping on each other.

          Thanks!
          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.
