Helluva ride in this thread. This post stood out for its randomness and severity

I read the basketball board a fair amount but I rarely post there because I don't really know much about the game beyond the most surface level. Inane, dumb and silly shit is more my wheelhouse. Derka doesn't seem disruptive there. The opposite, for me. He's informative and detailed. 

And I'm not some derka advocate or team selector. I don't know him at all. I've actually had several negative exchanges with him over various sites. I get why some might become annoyed at his strident tenacity and prolific presence. But there are handfuls of other posters who intentionally do nothing but slide their asses up and down multiple threads for their own entertainment. Fine.

Just let him back on. He openly displayed how the dopamine hits from ithe nteraction here is a very meaningful part of his well-being. Whether you like the guy or despise him, anyone would have to recognize that you couldn't get more vulnerable than how he opened this thread. I can't imagine being that candid about anything on this site or any other. And as others have noted, he generally brings more to the table than his serial agitators. 

Rooting for derka to VPN a sock and fly under the radar until aggymac chills out. Until then

Derka loves attention.  He loves to make it all about himself, whether positive or negative.

I am going to miss Derka. It's clear he genuinely loves the University and his posts usually are informative. Yes, there are rants but you can gloss over them instead of making fun. It's ok if you don't agree with his takes but who is to say who is correct. Some people can't help but bully (especially on the internet) and I believe this site is set up to encourage that behavior. I also think the 🖕 reaction is offensive. We should have thumbs up and down instead.

Aren’t you the guy that calls RT supporters poors?

Derka is definitely missed on the basketball board. Like him or not, he drove a lot of the conversation and kept those threads active and lively. His absence is causing me to frequent the basketball board less and will be felt even more acutely next season at the start of the college basketball season. He is worth keeping around just for the Kenpom rankings that he posts, which aren’t available to download unless you’re a paid subscriber like he is. The soccer board would not be the same if @Captain Ron or @ztejas were banned. I’d like to see Derka reinstated.

I'm kinda glad Derka is not around as of yesterday due to Jokic winning MVP. I just didn't want to hear about it. Not the biggest Jokic fan, so....yea.

Wait, okay, I'll bite; what's the issue with Jokic?

His fans love him. Like, really love him. As in, if you don't have the opinion that he's a combination of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, they start listing a bunch of obscure stats about why he's the bestest player and clearly a top 10 player of all time.

I generally enjoyed the threads he started and appreciated his posts where he didn't rage on anybody who had a differing opinion, but those basketball threads were a beating once he got into any sort of back and forth (even though quite often it was other posters baiting him/starting shit). I hope he gets help for his mental health, but it seems like posting on Internet message boards is not something doing him any favors in that department.

K. Unlike a lot of people here I have had the same handle the entire time I've posted. I know it's a tall order for some of you.

How can anyone not be a Jok fan?  I get you might not like playing him, but that dude is a great guy.  

Luka finished 3rd.  Take it up with the voters.  I would have had Luka second, personally.

He doesn't play for the Mavs is the issue.

His death takes place in the shadow of new life. He's not really dead if we find a way to remember him.

It's sad. But funny. But sad. But still funny.

It's hilarious.

This was a LARP battle where Imma slayed Derka and then the rest of Surly took turns giving heart felt eulogies for Derka over a couple weeks of mourning.

Then Derka pops up and asks "who wants to grab some cheeseburgers?" and things go back to normal.

It’s more like the completely manufactured Drake vs Kendrick Lamar diss battle.

Hypothetical Derka: thanks for those of you who were supportive of me while I was banned and I appreciate those of you who suggested i be unbanned. 

Real Derka:  

Is shadow operative or whatever still banned? I got the impression derka was back.

You know what he did for the first 17 of his 26 years on Hornsfans, Shaggy and Surly? Counterintelligence. Derka's gone. There is no Derka.

He said if Derka doesn't want to be found, we're not gonna find him.  He said I could be Derka and you wouldn't even know.

Are you Derka?

No.

I'm not Derka.  That's two.

I laughed.  Repped. Not sure if appropriate?
