Guys, we are a brand now. We have gotten away from core values on which this blog was established. We are better than the product we have been producing lately. I call for a reincarnation of what we stand for. Guys, we know we are better than this, and we know we can do better. I may not be the oldest kid on the block, but I know this community and culture. How can we get back to ourselves? What can we change? I have full faith in the mods but, we need new and upcoming talent to add ideas as well.

I won't be on much the next couple days (wedding gig), but I'm looking forward to reading this thread when I return!
-
Also, my idea is to have a purge.
-
The dude is not at all like E.F. Hutton.
-
My idea is for _33 and chunkles to make more videos.

sd has slowed down. Needs more sd.
Gonna win 'em all!

more MS paint

more MS paint
this. more photoshops.
The Xs & Os type posts are better than ever on here, imo. gE is just lacking creativity.

Justin Timberlake does not agree with adding "The".

Maybe more socks from the good posters for more diversity. Mr. Bread and Spracne are prime examples of this.

Link it itt then. I'll go in through the backdoor.
-
Nevermind they put it back.
-
We need better recruiting, the coach'em up strategy isn't working with this new generation of posters

This is not the answer.

Winters and I were talking about this earlier. Having read the blog from the beginning, I think it comes down to a few things that have already been pointed out in this thread:
1. PI'ing is non existent. Our quality control used to be incredible. It is now nonexistent.
2. The lack of creativity hurts, but I don't think it's because of the lack of creative people. Looking back to the growth of KSUfans, we had an entertaining dumpster fire in Prince as a HC and Huggins/Frank as a basketball coach. This lead to a span of pure entertainment happening (good or bad) in our athletic department culminating in #TITLETOWN. After that year, for the most part, our athletics have been ranging from mediocre to pretty good. Not bad to watch, but not inspiring to create over with Snyder and oscar as HCs.
3. There's definitely a bit of a changing of the guard going on. Some of the old guard has outright left. Those who remain, they can't commit everything to the blog anymore, nor should they be expected to. We do have young talent coming up but they've gotta come into their own.

incentive payments for good posts have drastically decreased. I get just over $5 per elite post now, when at the peak the payment was well over $30. I mean, why even bother making a good post now? Even the mercury message board pays more.

Dude I PI'd the eff out of people a couple times and then felt weird because everyone else was being nice or passive aggressive. I mean if you want to PI be about it don't talk about it

I can't find the line chart that backs this up, but believe me on this - there is a direct correlation between Friday snackoffs and quality posting on this site. As the snackoffs went away so did the quality posting. :th_twocents:

board was good 4 years ago, board is good now, just different

We haven't had a good naval gazing thread like this, in a while. Maybe this was what was missing?
-
hasn't been worth a crap since Bread and Spracne showed up.

TubeSock is really pissed that I connected him to Renocat :sdeek:
Funniest are Rickdaris and Pete, lots of people have their moments but these two are the best.
Most annoying about trying to be funny but missing the mark, and doing so in volume. Dickstone and Mr. Bread.
If Pete really died, Pissclams will move up to Daris's second in command.
If 'clams goes down, Spracne is in.

It's real simple, stay funny or yer out. Savvy?

Define Savvy...

It's either SDK or TBT. They are remarkably similar posters/humans. Maybe they're the same guy too. #1poster

Nope, neither of them. This character has been pretty well crafted, best for this user to abandon their original super shitty identity.

I'm willing to put alot of this on my shoulders.
At one time I was "An up and coming poster" just slaying it at all hours during my 8-5 job. I met BigWillie because we both worked at the same company and a mutual friend realized we spent half the day on the same BLOG. BigWillie and I used to talk everyday about threads on gE and how we could become better posters, maybe eventually dethroning the aging cabal of SD/Daris/Clams/LimeStone Etc.
Then I took another job and now gE is blocked and I have to bbs on tapatalk while at work, it's just not the same.
