Title: The goEMAW.com
Post by: The Big Train on December 22, 2014, 01:39:26 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.
