An Introduction to Community Matters

Things have changed. The site is a lot bigger now than it was 18, 12, or even six months ago.

To the great credit of all the Bleacher Creatures who have worked tirelessly to create a home for the aspiring sportswriters of the world, the cultural foundation of our Community remains strong today.

I see senior contributors going out of their way to lend a hand to new contributors every day.

Our writers generally conduct themselves with professionalism and integrity at all times.

Conversation in the comment threads, by and large, is characterized by intelligent debate and passionate camaraderie.

The notion that we’re all in this together—united by a common goal to prove to the naysayers that citizen journalism has a permanent home in the world of sports media—still exists.

These are the things that make our community so special. We lived by this code of conduct when the site was first getting started, and we continue to pay tribute to these ideals today.

But we’re at a crossroads right now. This puppy is growing into a dog right before our eyes—and that dog can either end up frolicking with its fellow canines in green pastures with plenty of clean water, or end up at Michael Vick’s house.
