Why does SPS hate this board so?

[The Croom Diaries]

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.

Of course he's that narcissistic. He had enough confidence to break a six pack rule which results in automatically being banned to start this board without any evidence to prove it would be successful. That is a pretty big leap of faith considering how much he loves message boards. Coach is an ass but I agree with 95% of what he says and I can respect the fact that this board wouldn't be as big as it is if anyone other than him started it. (Of course it also would have flopped if slickdawg didn't build it - which I'm assuming he did).

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

That's where I feel it mostly balanced out. For each extra person he drew into the board, he repelled one. I think he started/contributed to plenty of great threads, but I would have to have one hell of a man-crush on him for his posting to effect my viewing habits.

just don't see any rational person boycott a message board over 1 poster .... the hits remain the same reguardless

Uh, I disagree. "Id really like to visit that site but that dang poster is there and his being there really irritates me so much that I won't even get on" is bullshit. Yeah people don't come specifically because of a thread, but the site clicks come from long threads with substance. A lot of my threads went 100+ replies and thousands of views. That's where the clicks come and that's why DS is starting new threads by the hour.

People love to hate maybe more than they love to love. Why do you sit and watch an entire OM football game just rooting for them to lose. If you hate a poster and wouldn't want to see anything they have to say so you boycott the site, that is like just not watching OM because you hate them. People still want to see what he says and see people fawning all over it and others calling him peaches and saying he's a lunatic.

Exactly. There was a day about 7-8 years ago I'll never forget where there something I was wrong about. I had been on a pretty good roll before that and people were just really pissed. I got on that morning- but just looked around awhile and didnt post- and I swear, somebody started a thread saying that I was on the board and needed to post. I remember thinking- "my god, these people literally ran to their computer this morning to wait for me to post".

Humps, look, I'm not trying to come off as trying to say I'm some internet superstar. But to say I didnt increase views and viewers on Sixpack is assinine. The Standsbury arguments helped build the site and viewers. People loved the show

I also present this site as proof. If Dawgs61 or Drebin said they were starting a site- you wouldnt have given 1 shit. But people heard I was starting one (and it's not just me to be clear) and wanted to see what it was about. It's pretty simple

I'm glad you post here, and I'm glad people like the site. I dont see it doing anything but growing. I dont think we will ever be Sixpack big- nor do we want that to be honest. We just simply want a good State forum.

This is dead on accurate. People's hate for coach most likely drew more clicks than people's love for him.

Im here because I like topic view.

me too

woohoo my favorite[post] number! Big ups Josh Morgan!

I post on both but a lot less when it's not football season. I never post or even read 247, but I do read genespage recruiting information. I will withhold further judgement until football season. I'm curious as to how discussions will be handled on this site when there is a lot of disagreement between posters.

Well, for starters we will be saying "**** YOU!", instead of "17 You!". *

There will be disagreements and differences of opinion- just make sure and refrain from calling people a ********** and we should be ok. I have to watch that kind of thing myself.
