Where Have All the Elite Dawgs Posters Gone?

Tater.....Coach

Im taking the high road and deleted your post but let this be the last warning. We arent going down the Charlie Kirk thread again. Its football season and i dont want to ban either of you...

[Jacknut]

I like both boards for different reasons. ED is more sports driven - I like the analysis of the games here. SPS is more like a man cave with more wide ranging conversation, but not nearly as much analysis. I'll add i don't really post much here or there, but probably more on SPS.

[Tater]

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.

You're prolly looking at True Maroon and Not SixPack by Strangebrew. Make sure you're actually logged in and on the right board.

Or just stay here and drive up the engagement yourself by stealing the thread idea.

Apropos, the off-topic board used to be way more active, back when OutdoorDog (i think that was his handle?) was here. He was a good dude, too. Not sure why he left.

Yea. If anyone wants to help with those boards in welcome to hear ideas. But as of now they are pretty dead.

And no there is no reason to request access to platinum plus either. That place is super dead.

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.

If People only know how many damn spammers try to sign up all the time. It does keep me on my toes with what the current trends are...

[ScoobaDawg]

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.

And i wish we as a board and the members could do more to help his network. Its invaluable information.
I'm still a weathernerd but keep up more with my local area instead of the state now.
Things might be picking back up soon though....

I always use the BS forum to shoot the Shi with the older guys or to share yt vids of old movies or hey remember these songs. Also to needle some of the guys who were here in the late 60s to 70s.

That's the perfect description of the two boards.

And then you have Genespage...

This board has been baseball heavy since day 1 - which was actually what has always made it different then SixPack.
Personally, I think that after 5 years of constant arguing about Leach/Rogers/Arnett/Lebby/RTDFB/Air Raid etc. or Lemonis that people got tired and turned away.

I think something that has really hurt ED is that the founders and moderators seem to have moved on. Look down at the bottom of the main page under moderators and you'll see outside of Scooba hardly any of them are still active. Hack and Cadaver pop by on occasion. Mods are supposed to help drive conversation - which is why DawgStudent, Hadad and their mods start about 75% of the posts on SixPack. That's not a knock, but it's how you drive engagement. They also now have a huge advantage with the On3 and Rivals merger being tied to national networks.

I've always preferred this board. I lurked on SPS for years, but ED was the first time I ever really got engaged and began posting.

The same topics on Lemonis and football happened on the other boards too though. That's not an Elitedawgs thing. I do think the football team struggling and how the football program handled Leach's death hurt traffic and discussion. It was pretty obvious that MSU hired a bunch of the boosters friends and that was after we went through a similar situation with Dan leaving a senior laden team and Moorhead screwed it up. But Arnett and MSU not only made the same mistakes- they made it worse.

I'm hopeful that the Arizona State win will springboard us to a really good season but time will tell.

To me, though, it's more about 20 something year olds not really being into message boards as much in general. And that's really probably true for any team. 20-30 years from now we'll have people that will be like "what's a message board?" Like we have people asking what's a cassette tape now.

I know the arguments were everywhere, didn't mean to imply it was just here. But, I think it did wear a lot of people out everywhere in the fanbase. If SPS was still an Indy, and not On3 and now Rivals I think they would be in a similar spot. Indy boards like this are few and far between now - and you are right about probably being a generational thing. A lot of us in our 50s started on old bulletin boards and listserves 30 years ago. My 20 something kids look at these like they are dinosaurs.

Allot of the super cool - big Dawgs have taken a leave. We can?t compete or compare ourselves to even Ole MS.

We need to give up

I appreciate it. We're struggling hard to find donors and sponsors for our cameras. I'm hoping to put one up next weekend in Hattiesburg, but once it's up we're on an install pause. Still extremely grateful for what we have been able to do with 23 cameras up. Thought we were pretty close to getting some access to state owned towers but that appears to be DOA. But last spring all I heard was we'd never be able to make this work and was a stupid idea. Glad to have been able to prove that stance false.

But if anybody wants to donate or be a business sponsor, shoot me an email at sdorroh@nmscas.org.

We won't stop until we're statewide.

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.

I can relate to this. I think the growing DGAF caused by changing the basic fundamentals of what the sport even is has been severely underestimated, particularly among the 40+ crowd. Some of us are hanging in there, but the passion overall is not the same.

Those shortsighted people that thought you would be turn college football, which WAS the most unique sport in the entire realm of sports, into NFL light would be successful are on a long road to understanding how little of a 17 people give about minor league sports. It'll take a decade or two but it will never be what it was.

And those advocating two super conferences REALLY dont have any long term financial savvy. It'll make millions for a few years and then become irrelevant eventually as people gravitate back to real college football. 50 years from now people will be filled with wonder that schools like Alabama used to win national championships when they're getting their a$$e$ beat in their annual trip to places like Hattiesburg and Lafayette.

Hey SVD check your TM in the morning and let me know/
