Article: North Side Baseball's Community Awards: 2023-2024 Offseason

[Brock Beauchamp]

As we gear up for another season of Cubs baseball, it's time to look at the community members who made North Side Baseball great over the winter.

Hello again, Cubs fans! Twice a year, I sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on North Side Baseball and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to this rapidly-growing community. There was a lot to talk about with the Cubs this offseason. We look at the most popular posts and most popular blogs created by our users.

Let's dive into the most popular content of the offseason.

Most Popular Post
Some of you may not be able to see this post from @imb and that's by design. Did you know there's an extra forum in NSBB that only unlocks after you've been here for some time and contributed enough posts? Well now you do.

This forum is old. While the current incarnation only launched a year ago, the forum has been around for more than two decades. In this wildly popular post, imb takes a look back at the forum and humorously points out that while some things change, some people stay the same. Congratulations imb, for this excellent post you take home this wooden Cubs puzzle!

Most Popular Post Runner-Up
While imb wrote many paragraphs in their post, @InSeungHo took the tried-and-true route of driving by with a smartass comment during the Shohei Ohtani madness of the offseason. And it's a good one. Well done.

Most Popular Blog Entry
Listen, NSBBers. Write some user blogs or @Transmogrified Tiger is going to keep taking home the goodies! In typical TT fashion, they drafted this compelling look at Aaron Nola, comparing him to Jon Lester of yesteryear. For their efforts, TT takes home this cool vintage Cubs pennant with a copyright of '69. NICE.

Most Prolific Poster
As always, we highlight the poster who earned the most "points" during the offseason. You are awarded points for creating content and others liking your content. This is a pure numbers game and this winter, @Sammy Sofa takes home the glory. Thanks for all the content all winter Sammy, even if some of it is... questionable... at times.

That's all for this winter, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece and we're only two weeks from Opening Day!

I've noticed that links to specific posts often end up offset, depending on how many embedded Tweets are on the page.  I assume we load to a spot on the page representative of that post, and then the embedded tweets eventually load after and push it further down.

Agreed on the offset with all the embeds, but I don't see IMBs (for example) post anywhere on that particular page in the Politics board. Maybe it's a setting on posts per page? Think I have 25 per page.

Congrats, I have to say that all were well deserved.

That is often exactly what happens. All the post-page load content can push and shove stuff down the screen.

Oh maybe?  IMB's post loads perfectly for me.
