Overwhelmed?

Lately on FanIQ I have been a little overwhelmed. There is so much to do, so much to see. I am all for a little competition, but with the rankings it seems like a little too much competition. I know I shouldn't care much about the rankings but I do. It just doesn't seem like I can chill on FanIQ like I used to. This comes as no offense to Ty and company. The site has come along way.

#2 \| 66 days ago theshrewdone (+)	+10 This is a website built around sports...ie Competition...so bring it on! I don't know if anyone will ever catch or surpass Scott (definitely not me)...but without competition, we wouldn't get the information we get (trivia, quizzes, expert links, etc)...at least not as many, I don't think.

#3 \| 66 days ago Pat (+)	+5 Like theshrewdone said, the competition is what helps drive the site. The best way to move up in the rankings is to make more positive contributions to the site. Enter the poll to see my answer

#8 \| 65 days ago Jess (+)	+3 There were some things I liked better in the old days, but as far as the site itself and some of the competition things (being able to see who's ahead and behind me in trivia, and some of the other stuff I know is coming) more than make up for those little things. As far as being too far behind in points and stuff, yea Scott and Jon and Ryan and the like are the gods of the Q - I've long since decided not to try to compete with them Enter the poll to see my answer

#9 \| 65 days ago YankeeDudeL (+)	+4 I noticed now, that if I get a few days behind, it takes some serious Qing to catch up, and that's just the locker room. And yes, the site can be competitive, but isn't that what sports is all about? And yeah, I do kinda miss the simplicity and clear cut site the Q used to be, but I'm glad to see it's grown to what it's become now. Enter the poll to see my answer

It's fun to joke about them in retrospect, but I haven't had a prob in a long while and u were always there as soon as it happened, and until it was fixed. Thanks Jess, ur a Q Goddess, as well!!

#12 \| 65 days ago kramer (+)	+4 I don't really worry about what ranking I am. I know I'm in the top 25, but that's because I've always done my part to contribute since the day I joined. I haven't changed the way I do things here, and I don't plan to. Enter the poll to see my answer

There was a time when his FanIQ score seemed nearly unattainable. He had something like 7,000 points, when the 2nd place person had something like 4K. He not only took every poll on the site, he was also obscenely successful in his picks. He was a legend much like David W, who has over 1,000 recruits. In the beginning, FanIQ was powered by guys like Palehosefan and David W... and of course, Scott, who is still alive and kicking around here. Enter the poll to see my answer

#18 \| 55 days ago irbe38 (+)	(Edited by irbe38) The only thing I can say is that it seems people without jobs have the advantage. I spend a ton of time on here but still have to take 8 hours off to work 5 days a week and 4 hours to sleep at night. I can't keep up with those who are on here more than that. Still it is fun to try and beat those who do have the extra time. Enter the poll to see my answer

For everything there I miss, there's something new I like. I normally find something new before I get the chance to read about it on the front page by stumbling over it.

Get over yourselves. +1 Competition on the site is just celebrating the natural competition between sports fans...I don't think it has as much to do with the "cool kids" as it does proving knowledge and beating the "experts" more than anything...it's kind of fun to feel smart once in a while (even if those times are few and far between) Enter the poll to see my answer
