The server move has caused auto-login to stop working (at least for some users).

SportsFilter Needs a Password Change Form

rcade — Tue, 29 May 2018 11:10:09 -0400

Ricardo requested the ability the change your password here. Now that I am cleaning up the code after the upgrade to PHP 7, I thought I would dust off the Locker Room and use it to track progress on new features and bug reports.

Little help? Apologies for the link title.

I got nothing here, but I used to exist on this website. One of my favorite things was the CD swap that we did a few times. It was a blast. Goddam introduced me to the best song ever performed about basketball. There was a guy named owlhouse who send me the - no shit - the best cd ever. It was pretty Australia-specific. I\\\'ve since heard \\\"Love this city\\\" a few times and I always think about how great that cd was. Great song! And that was the shittiest song on that CD. There was a song by the Warumpi band that was so no bullshit and bad ass and I can\\\'t find it anywhere. Owlhouse, if you\\\'re still out there anywhere, please tell the world where to find that Warumpi band song. Sorry for busting in here. I hope everyone is doing well.

Matt Haughey is Stepping Down at MetaFilter

rcade — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:46:28 -0500

Since so many SportsFilter users came over from MetaFilter, I wanted to share Mathowie's news that he's removing himself from day-to-day operations at the mothership to take a new gig. He announced it today so it's a good time to go there and pay tribute to the Willie Mays of the community weblog.

Suggestions for SportsFilter Links

rcade — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:43:36 -0500

My new editorial goal is to find one good link a day to post on SportsFilter. I'm trying to avoid going for low-hanging fruit like an athlete getting into off-the-field trouble or a viral video highlight, so I am checking places where more thought-provoking sports journalism is being published. This raises a question: Where is more thought-provoking sports journalism being published?

MetaFilter User Proposes New Site Called 'Sportsfilter'

rcade — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 21:18:09 -0400

A MetaFilter user fired up about the World Cup has proposed the establishment of a new sister site devoted to sports. "There are quite a few people on mefi who love teh footy, and many more who love the World Cup, and it would give us a place to chat about it and not clutter up the Front Page. ... Sportsfilter is likely to be way way less a contentious place, and much quieter, as sports fans make up a smaller subset of mefites overall," writes Marienbad.

just received an email about the EPL Fantasy League. Can whomever controls the Sportsfilter leagues post the password/ join information for this year?

Just dropping in to say hi

Hi spofites! It's been a while! Hope everything is well with you and yours.

Recent Activity?

Rock Steady — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:13:47 -0400

On MetaFilter, the Recent Activity page (I've linked to the best one, obvs) is a great way to keep up with threads you are participating in, and I was wondering if there is any interest in creating a similar feature here at SpoFi? Even something as simple as linkifying (highly technical term) the Recent Comments on our profile pages would really help me (and others) participate more here.

I Have Six Chances to Consider as Popesquatter

rcade — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:29:54 -0400

In the hopes of continuing my reign as popesquatter, I have the following names as dot-com domains: Clement XV, Innocent XIV, John Paul III, Leo XIV, Paul VII and Pius XIII. Don't pray for this to happen, because it could be considered tampering.

MetaFilter Presidential Prediction Contest

rcade — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:27:05 -0500

I revived a 12-year-old MetaFilter tradition today -- the presidential prediction contest. Go there for your chance to win a Threadless gift certificate and a life-sized Joe Biden.

Costanza Trophy

DrJohnEvans — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:30:55 -0500

Does anyone have a copy of the Costanza trophy graphic floating around? We have a couple of deserving winners in the CFL Pick 'Em, but I haven't seen the trophy anytime recently. It was a magnificent graphic and deserves to be unearthed. I did some searching and digging through the archives, with no luck.

Favorites or Likes for comments?

qbert72 — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 00:06:03 -0400

Hey there old friends. I'm back lurking here. I'm even logged in, so I can see the (# new) thingy after the comments number. I don't have much to contribute, but 5 years of Facebooking have endeared to the simple "Like" action below each comment and I'm instinctly looking to click it when I read a comment that makes me chuckle. MetaFilter has a similar feature with their Favorites. Is this at all a possibility for SpoFi?

Password Change

Where can I change my password? I cant find anywhere on the site to do so.

Comment-shifting

Etrigan — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:11:52 -0400

I appreciate the efforts by mods to make threads out of hot topics in the Huddle. Perhaps they could include notations of such on the story and the affected Huddle, just to allay any confusion? For example, on the Seahawks-Packers story linked above, something like (Editor note: The first 22 comments were relocated from the Monday Huddle.) and (Editor note: 22 comments from this Huddle were relocated here.) in the Huddle itself. (Also, I apologize for the broken link -- the system is putting slashes before my quotes.)
