Where Have All the Elite Dawgs Posters Gone?

[Santiago]

We've lost a lot of good posters over the years. Some of it has to do with the downward trend of football. Some of it has to do with NIL and people just getting out on sports. Some don't want to only read about baseball, which is what this board turned into from February to around 3 weeks ago.

I mean I can't think of the last time I've seen a post from Kurt Rambis, Ari Gold, IYOK, Dawg61(although he got banned), Barkman Turner Overdrive, ShotgunDawg(who's Colonel Kang on other boards), etc.

also, from years back, where is Flabloser?

Guys,

I dont know how much I want to get into but I'll go.

1) The board badly needs to be updated...it lacks many features and makes a lot of things hard to do.

2) Some people dont like me because im the active bad cop and feel they have been treated unfairly. Nope, you can ask Coach34 i dont play favorites. I dont censure one way or another, it might appear that way because the great majority of anything political comes from the right side.
I dont care who the poster is, not many usernames stick out to me over the years because I read everything on this board and dont have time to focus on who is hot or cold on our wide receivers this week.

3) Im not going to dox myself or go too deep but Im too busy trying to find a real job to put more into the site at this time. Its been a rough year plus now.

Ill truly admit my posting has gone down over the years since leaving Mississippi and not having resources like I used to.

Thanks for your update and all your hard work on this site past, present, and future. I hope things turn your way quickly in your present and future endeavors.

I am fairly new here, but appreciate you running a free forum. It gives us a platform to pretend to be experts on, have heated debates and share special moments like last Saturday night on.

My household is not near as passionate about Miss State football as I am, but ED gives me a place to vent and cheer with like minded people during and after the games.

Thanks again,

I think the last few years plus NIL has taken a lot of the passion for sports out of folks. I know that I am less gung ho and my group text with my friends has been less about football than it used to.

I personally love reading the Sunday Morning QB and the discussion. My wife always asks me to read it to her now. I think a lot of the recruiting news that this site used to have during the off season just doesn't move the needle the way it used to also.

Thanks, Scooba!

I will also echo this. You don't play favorites. The rule is simple: no politics.

[FISHDAWG]

Not sure if this has any bearing on what the reason is for folks becoming disinterested but we know most of the baseball and basketball players..... as for football, I no longer know the team/players - it's a different team roster every year and it's hard to get excited sometimes. I saw where Beastman commented the other day and it had been a while. Jack Lambert, shotgun are also guys I see only occasionally now but we also have new posters stepping up..... after starting 4-0 maybe we'll see some repatriation

Scooba - definitely don't take my post as criticism. I know its work and likely just a passion project at that. I think you could find some help in spreading the load within the posters here.

Thanks Scooba for your efforts on the board. This is one of the main places I go for MSU discussion.

Agree with lots of posters on reasons.

1) Loss of college sports interest due to NIL, transfer, etc.
2) MSU football and sports low points lately - hopefully on the uptick with football, baseball and basketball all getting back to competing with the best.
3) Political temperature and sensitivity to too much. I don't understand why people can't have an opinion and yet disagree respectfully?
4) Related to above, some don't allow discussion of anything. Can critique our team, game, or player without some getting bent out of shape.
5) The Leach experiment really divided the fan base. No discussion allowed.

I'm still here but have lost interest to all reasons above. I left Gene's page due to soft posters who couldn't take any discussion except sunshine and rainbows.

Yeah, there is definitely some disinterest bc of NIL...but it's really because we've sucked ass the last couple years. We start winning and that interest will come back.

I used to belong to SP or whatever it is now but dam having to sith through OT threads about what is the best barbq sauce or other crap got old. What I like here was and still is this is a sports board and it was designed with the outdoor forum and the BS forum, which I do use alot. I don't care what your politics are, take it to the other boards and have fun going after each other but not on the SPORTS forum. And thanks to Scoob for trying his best to keep it that way. And also for getting rid of a bunch of Trolls. But I do miss Rocketdog, Jack Lambert and all the other old Jarhead posters.

[DownwardDawg]

Probably have been banned responding to a post that bordered on a political topic, even if the the original post was political. As I just finished serving my time, it is 30 days in the wilderness.

That's what just happened to me so I'm just posting less and reading. Been reading 6pack a lot more now.

[parabrave]

Well I will admit one thing and I am guilty as hell about doing it but the weather threads are not only useful but may save lives with all the members here who live in nader alley. There are a few weather geeks on here besides SVD who monitor the radars during bad weather events in the state and we post updates on here. I know that what these posters do is well appreciated by our members.

Amen to that Brother!!!

How is one supposed to post on the new Sixpack? I've got a registered account, but every time I try to post, it wants me to buy an On3 subscription to be allowed to post. 17 that.

[bullygrowl]

Not to pile on, but, I noticed it awhile back and almost made a thread on it. I assumed the response would be well go somewhere else, so what's the point. I joined sps in 04 and here when it started. I was never one to choose sides, which many did. I would always check both sites daily multiple times a day. There for awhile, ED had more info than SPS. Not so much anymore, here to say its ok to go to both boards. I've done it the entire time. I do post quite a bit more on the pack.

ETA: I've never joined any pay sites, I've gotten all my info from here and SPS.

[bullygrowl]

Just an example of the engagement of both boards. ED prediction thread - 3 replies. SPS prediction thread - 50 replies.
Ok, I'm done comparing, I just encourage those that don't know, the pack is lively, jump in on both.

[Coach34]

Football engagement has dropped off a cliff the last 2 years.

Have to create an On3 account i think. Not sure if your previous account, posts, etc, are retained tho. I stopped posting over there (which was rare, anyways) when they made the move to On3.

One offers a reward, one doesn't. Not that I'm telling scoob to offer rewards - that's just the reality that folks like competitions and handouts.

An ED poster got the exact score last two weeks while no SPS got it on the money.
