Why does SPS hate this board so?

Im here because I like topic view.

The fact that we have over 500 members already and will have a thousand by the Fall is proof this it is necessary

And it is a competition thing- for reasons I wont go into, DS needs the page clicks. My leaving and this board has caused them to drop. Thats why they made such an effort to start threads the last 2 months like never before.

Sixpack has 7,500 members- not tens of thousands- plus you have to figure Goat is at least 500 of them. Plus other people have multiple names.

And Another mod who really just seems to have a burr up his butt in general.

I find it refreshing to read and share opinions without bears butting in at every turn. Other than that, I read both and know a lot of others do too. Just don't get the animosity.

Also, having no UM posters is nice. It bears repeating.

Was trying to inform someone that Strawberry is not the best flavor of milkshake from Chicken fil a, It is obviously Cookies and Cream

I concur with what several others have said. I come here for knowledgeable MSU sports info and analysis, without having to wade throught a lot of unrelated crap. IMHO, SPS has entirely too much of the latter. Just don't have the time for it.

My threads usually averaged 1,500-2,000 page views- with many getting 4K or more. They aren't getting that anymore. That's not even counting members of this site that read there less now

...6,499 members.

Not only is the asshole element @ 6pack totally out of control (actually, it always has been) but them allowing some Ole Miss jackoff to be a board moderator is some ****ed-up Stockholm Syndrome shit.

MSU fan constantly bitches about how Ole Miss feels superior to us, then we have a MSU board that moves to prove it by robbing some loyal MSU fan of the opportunity to be a MSU board moderator by inserting some shit whose only goal in life is to see MSU fail.

to be fair, I don't think DS claims that the pak is a MSU board. It's become more than that now. That's why I don't really see this board and the pak as competitors. It's not like there's a firewall that only allows you to visit one or the other. I don't read over there much any more because it's hard to sift through all the post and smartassery for sports news, but the board does have its identity and has done very well for years despite what ol' frojorts thought when they split off from his site.

Sixpack had it's purpose as being the only board when it started for free thinking away from Genes. That's long gone.
I have rarely posted there since BDJ and other options came around. I Don't read tha site enough now to even know the inside jokes and who most the posters are.
DS is a good guy actually but as Coach pointed out they have allowed a lot more Nafoom like posts just to have new posts. Your Favorite Chicfila Milkshake seriously? Several years back we would be discussing who was reporting in school and debating the defensive/offensive line.

Good luck to them, they do still have a purpose as a MSU Board and are very popular and still face of free boards for MSU (though we are working strong on growing this one...)

This is about the only board I post on now. So far it hasn't delved into all the political bullshit the others have gone to where a few posters are allowed to say whatever the hell they want and the other asshats bash anyone who doesn't agree with the insider. You also don't have people trying to sound like experts when all they do is scour other message boards. Y'all keep your scouring to Twitter.

What the SPS loyalists will never admit is that Elite Dawgs simply has better discussion than SPS. If it were the other way around, I'd spend more time there.

Almost no one started posting here because of some love for Coach34. They signed up, saw the superior discussion, and stuck around. The SPS loyalists can bury their hands in the sand and deny it all they want, but all it does is direct more and more people here.

I post here, there, and on 247, as well as another SEC board (not TD) regularly and I don't harbor any ill-will against any of them. I've never understood the constant drama between boards, anyway. It's foolish for grown men to do.

With that said, each has it's place.

Elitedawgs -- Excellent, mature discussion and a great off-topic board.
SPS -- High volume of info and enough light-heartedness to keep things from being too serious.
247 -- The discussions can be a little GenesPagish, but Paul's info is worth the price.

They all have their pro's and con's.

It's not like we're talking about buying brands of toilet paper. As others have pointed out, you can read more than one board. I read both - and I'm sure most (not all) people on here still read sixpack.

And C34, just because your posts had read counts high enough for you to jack off to, doesn't mean it was really increasing page hits. It was just one more thread for people to click on while they were already on the site - nobody was brought to SPS via an outside search/link just to read your posts - and no significant number of people suddenly decided to quit reading SPS just because you stopped posting - are you really that narcissistic?


All that being said, there's about 5 ole miss ****s on that board that I wish would just get banned.

I completely disagree ... the days when Coach wasn't posting were mostly boring ... he was the driver behind a lot of the sports issues and controversies that were WORTH discussing... like him or hate him - it didn't matter, he stimulated conversation which is why a lot of folks go to message boards
