I just wish I would have seen some of the threads leading up to the exodus.

There weren't any :dunno:

I thought premium had some potential.  It just wasn't consistent and no real basketball info really hurt it.

I think its pretty clear that the only good (whether you like it or not, it is a good model) K-State premium is gp, but that was a different model.  That was sort of ground floor and it went from a large magazing subscribing base to internet premium.  Since then all the models haven't worked very well; first with kstatefans, then twice with ksufans.  I just think its hard to take a free messageboard base and make premium viable b/c it changes the culture of the board too much.

I think premium can exist even with a free message board base.  It all comes down to the quality of the premium content.  I wan't a KSUfans premium member, but if that site had a few quality reporters that would report on a consistent and often basis,  it would have been fine.

From the sounds of it, KSUfans had nothing even approaching that.

I read the powerorbs thread.  My big question is what the hell a "powerorb" is.   :dunno:
