Why does SPS hate this board so?

[dickiedawg]

I haven't spent a ton of time on either Forum lately- really since even before this venture started- but some over there don't miss a chance to take a shot at ED. I understand why DS would resent it if it costs him clicks (it probably doesn't) but it seems to come from the rank-and-file types. 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.

2 reasons:

1. Me

2. They enjoyed being the main free board with no competition. They dont like having competition.

Never understood hate for others boards except Jeanspage. That was easy to understand

But SPS hates us
247 posters hate Sixpack
Jeanspage hates every other board

Elitedawgs? We just enjoy standing on our own.

I think it does cost them clicks. I spent a lot more time on that board before EliteDawgs started up. I still read sixpack but not nearly as much as I used to. I come here and 24/7 mostly. I hated putting up with the rebel posters, all the constant bitching back and forth, and the smug attitude of one of the moderators. Bet you can guess which one.

[I seen it dawg]

**** em. That board is what it is. They care more about fellating Bears and bitching about State. There is hardly ever anything positive that sustains itself over there. A positive thread may start but it doesn't take long to degenerate into stupid bitching about something the thread never intended. It is unreadable and depressing. I'm glad that board hates us, it makes me feel better about what we are trying to do. Be positive State supporters.

Eta: their mods suck ass with their arrogance and pettiness.

I have a feeling that more posters over here actually have something vested in MSU athletics.

3 reasons why I'm frequenting SPS less and less these day apart from ED now being available:

1. Half the posters over there are primarily looking for any opportunity to be a smartass rather than contribute meaningful input.

2. There just really isn't that much interesting sports discussion over there anymore, very lucky if you get 1 in 5 threads that actually talk about MSU sports.

3. Agree the influx of bear posters (and even moderators) over the years has gotten to the point where its disgusting to put up with.

Just thankful there is finally a decent alternative free board.

I looked over there earlier- and the first damn thread I saw was -"OT- Chik-Fil-A milk shakes"

aye yi yiiiiiiii

[FlabLoser]

Jean's page = church ladies

247 = Jean's page lite

SPS = NAFOOM lite

screw sps... ill take elite dawgs all day every day...

[CadaverDawg]

I still read and post over there, but I do hate the people that act like If you post on EliteDawgs "you suck!". And like someone earlier said, it's usually people that aren't mods that say shit about ED. What's funny is that the same crowd that says "this board is so great now that the ED posters are gone", are the same ones acting like they hate the ED posters for leaving....which can only mean a couple of things. 1. They are trying to be cool, or 2. They are pissed that a lot of the actual sports discussion has left the board and that they are left with more smartass and less sports.

Again, I still post over there mainly for OT things and bc they have a lot of new posts and threads throughout the day. However, I am posting less and less bc it's hard to talk sports when you know you'll get either a smartass answer, or an answer from a guy that knows absolutely nothing about the sport you are discussing. Like the guy that told me Henderson sucked and Armstrong should get all of his reps because Armstrong hit over .400 last year in JUCO.

I like a lot of the posters over there, but could do without the Rebs and the guys that only post smartass shit and no sports.

I see what you did there.

Anyway bro, let it go. Much better board here. Not as many smart asses.

not so fast, my friend

I'm good people though. Me and Coach go way back. Glad to be a charter member on here.

[Todd4State]

I think both boards can co-exist peacefully. I disagree with how they seem to be too lenient with Ole Miss posters there, but it is their board.

If they want to talk smack, that's fine. I don't think DS has a personal problem with us or anything. I think most of the bashing goes back to being "cool" which only started over on sixpack just because Gene was a douche towards them when they started their own board and has nothing to do with us.

[DownwardDawg]

This made me laugh. Well done.

[Hump4Hoops]

Its not really hate, they just think this board is unnecessary, and find its posters that make posts as if this place is wildly new and different to be borderline retarded. Its not a competition thing, as this place has a few hundred members compared to SPS's 10s of thousands.

Im here because I like topic view.

[BeastMan]

It seems that every board has its loyals that hate every other board. I like here, sps, and SECrant for different reasons. Even though many of the posters on those boards don't like the others, I see no reason I can't enjoy them all.

[The Croom Diaries]

I have never been big on message boards but I really like this one. I always checked SPS periodically - like once or twice a month - but I generally try to drop by here at least once a day for two reasons: the discussion is all MSU people, and it's on topic. When I saw this thread I clicked over to SPS to see what they were talking about....I counted 24 threads on the front page and ONLY 3 of them were even related to MSU sports and one was a ticket question. I really hope this board continues to discuss MSU sports in depth and not veer off into other crap and then become a pissing contest to see who can come up with the best smart ass remark. The quality of the members here is far better than the quantity over there.

ETA: while I was over there I did see Todd wipe their ass with the recruiting debate. Well done.
