Quit turning every thread that mentions NDSU or SDSU into a "should NDSU be IAA" fight. This is NOT an anti-NDSU site and I'm getting tired of a small few UND fans trying to turn it into such. Discussion of NDSU sports is of interest, as they're a regional team, long-time rival, and recent conference opponent; but the continuous anti-Bison trolling is not welcome and is not protected by this being a board for UND fans. Those who want to continue to debate ad nauseum the merits of NDSU's division classification should find an NDSU site.

Remember -- this public forum is not an appropriate place to air private or personal grievances. Please focus discussions on publicly available information on topics of broad public interest.

While I initially thought the beginning of this thread was sufficiently related to UND women's basketball so as to belong here, it's become apparent I was wrong. As always, feedback is welcome.

This is a public post because it's directed to everyone, please keep down the taunting. The Bison and other opponents' fans here do a good job of heeding our requests to discuss the issues without smacking/trolling/personal attacks, and we expect the same from Sioux fans.

Though there hasn't been any recent news from UND on the topic of reclassification, recent newspaper editorials examining potential UND reclassification have generated a lot of discussion in other forums on this site. Because there has been enough discussion on the topic to start to dominate those forums, we'll reopen this forum to posting for a while. Please keep the discussion related to potential UND reclassification in this forum.

This article is being discussed in the "The Division I question" thread in this same forum.

Under My Controls -> Edit Avatar Settings, there's an option to upload an image from your computer. It should probably be a GIF/JPG/PNG and has to be under 20k. Since the image is resized to 64x64, almost any image that size should be under 20k if you edit it down to that size on your computer. If you want to display an image over 20k, you can't upload it, so you would need to have it hosted somewhere else and simply include the link to it in your control panel.

Yeah, when you see a post from someone you judge ignorable, just click on their name and "ignore this user" should be one of the choices in their member card thingy. You can then manage those settings from "My Controls".

Sorry we were a bit slow on moderation this afternoon, but please remember, this forum is not an appropriate place to discuss national politics. Posters come here to discuss common issues with other affiliates of the Fighting Sioux/UND community. We feel that political discussions discourage rather than encourage new or casual members and are inherently divisive rather than inclusive. There are no shortage of Internet forums that encourage political discussion, so not having such a forum here shouldn't deprive any political junkies of a discussion opportunity.

I don't see that this thread has anything to do with UND hockey anymore -- just fans bickering.

Trolls aren't welcome.

Sorry, I got your PM but hadn't replied yet. I've noticed other users are successfully uploading avatars. Perhaps you're hitting the file size limit? Can you check and make sure the file isn't over 20k? If it is, I can probably resize it for you so it fits under.

Update: OK, here's the deal, you can hit the quote button on multiple posts (it's a toggle switch) and then hit the "add reply" button at the top or bottom and include quotes from multiple other posts. The quick reply (embedded in each post, as opposed to the "Add Reply" at the top and bottom) automatically pulls in the replied-to message as a quote.

Mandatory shameless plug: Or the PWR rankings on SiouxSports.com (which, in addition to the raw rankings you can also get from USCHO, lets you dive into the calculations behind the individual comparison components, if stats are your thing).

Please try to make sure all posts comment on topics of dicussion rather than interpersonally attack other posters. Ice size discussion split to the more appropriate forum.

OK, we're live on the new server and a major update to the forum software. As usual in a move this big, there will probably be a few little hiccups. Just drop me a PM or post here when you notice something wrong and I'll get on it ASAP.

I tried to demonstrate its irrelevance via an analagous post, but apparently that failed to sink in. This is a forum about UND. UND is DII. Quoting regs for another division you happen to follow is off-topic and distracting from the conversation. I will not stop policing the forums. However, you will stop trying to change every conversation into being about DI, NDSU, or Fargo. This is not the place.

And if the Sioux were D3 they wouldn't have any scholarships. Just as irrelevant. Quit jumping into every thread with posts about how things are in DI, Fargo, and NDSU. There are more appropriate places to discuss all those topics.

Thread broken out from "Development around the Alerus" because it's not really the same topic at all. When you want to raise a completely new/tangential topic, please create a new thread for it.

Sorry folks, avoid the computer for a day and this is what happens. Coming here to whine about postings on a different web site is ridiculous. If you want to discuss a post on a different message board with an opponents' fans, reply there! While I know some Sioux fans honestly enjoy smack battles with Bison fans at every opportunity, the majority of frequent readers of this board who have contacted me do not and it seriously detracts from the usefulness of this forum as a source of Sioux football information. Since you're citing a post from Bisonville, I'm sure you're aware that they host a smack forum where so-inclined Sioux fans can go get smacked upon. Please don't drag it back here again.

I was foolish to ever hope this thread would stay on the topic of UND media coverage. Please take the childish NDSU-related smack (both pro and con) to an NDSU-appropriate forum

Thank you, I have taken additional steps to block this user. I'll also plan technical limits to prevent similar abuses in the future.

First, to clarify, the receipt of a password change request does NOT indicate that someone else has access to your account. When someone attempts to access your account by pretending to be you (but have forgotten your password) the board sends the email to your account's registered email address specifically to verify that it's really you making the request. As the email explains, as long as you ignore/delete the email, your account password will not change. Second, I have taken the temporary measure of disabling password recovery until we can figure out who/what is responsible and take additional technical measures to prevent this inconvenience. In the interim, if you forget your password and need it reset, send feedback using the SiouxSports.com feedback form. P.S. it would still help me a lot if someone who still had one of those emails could send it to me.

Let's try the thread again from here. Offensive posts/subsequent attacks removed. Please refrain in the future.

I'm having troubles finding a record of those emails. Could you send the complete email to me in a PM or email (if your email client allows you to view the full headers, that would actually be the most helpful part of the email). Needless to say, if you receive such an email and did NOT request a password change, do not click on any sort of confirmation link. In the interim, I've taken a few additional technical steps to deny banned persons access to the board, but it's definitely just a first step.
