His Advanced Stats are the only thing worth reading on this board. :Crybaby:

You should check out KSO, I think he posts more stuff over there these days (couldn't blame him,).

I do, plus they use my stuff in articles, etc. I even write a little bit for J-Mart's weekly Big 12 piece.
I still try to contribute here too, but I'm inconsistent. When I come over and see that no one is really talking about the games its hard to add much to the discussion.
-
Fan can you measure how much Brown and Wade have improved? Where would rank them on the All Weber Team era?

I will try to up my basketball related discourse in order to prevent the _FAN brain drain.

It’s a joke board we can’t compete with people who legit want to talk x’s and o’s

I think there is a text thread trying to figure out how they effed up this board
1) Politics discussion has taken off and created a cess pool
2) Posters are aging out and not enough young talent to replace them
2a) SD is one of those
3) Some pretty meh seasons

Cause/effect I'm only in the pit because there's no discussion here. I'd much rather be here...much better for my high blood pressure. i need _Fan to lower my stress levels :)

2) Posters are aging out and not enough young talent to replace them
Yep. I think twitter probably draws a lot of the potential talent from here. 11 or 12 years ago when I was cutting my BBS teeth, KSUFans was full of a bunch of talented and hilarious posters who posted a lot. These people were funny AND they liked k-state sports. I really looked up to the more prominent posters and aspired to be funny about k-state like them.
Over the last few years, gE (on the sports side) is pretty much a cesspool of cynics fighting optimists. It's basically humorless, generally toxic, and rarely fun or lighthearted. And that's if you're smart enough to avoid the pit.
Anyway, point is, that for people who want to be silly and talk about KSU sports, twitter is far more accessible and gE doesn't offer much to draw in young, funny k-state fans. KSO naturally offers a lot more in the way of actual sports discussion. Hard to tell where gE fits in between twitter and KSO.

In my opinion, the decline of gE is directly traceable to the rise of [you]. Just sayin...

No doubt. I tried to point out that this team might be interesting to watch and discuss. Now we are in late February and this team is fun to watch and discuss and some posters are having trouble adjusting.
Having to watch an All Big 12 player, and all Big 12 first team defender, Sneed, Diarra and Stokes on his way up is a lot better than being an OU fan and having Trae Young blow up in your face or WVU fan and watch Huggy piss away a good season.

I prefer staying here because my buds are here and even though there are more posters there the discussion here is better when it gets going. There is a lot of garbage there that you have to wade through to get substantive discussion. Also the anti-brucers there are insanely unimaginative and hit the same notes over and over.
Also personally I get tired of those dudes saying crap they'd say with their dad and brother having a beer and when I raise an objection to say, a guy saying US Soccer is failing because they aren't getting America's best athletes out of the inner city, I get branded a race baiter and the discussion goes no where. I think about 3/4 of that board has me on ignore.

Those are all good points, but there is good basketball discussion there.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying KSO is what gE/Fans was, just that modern gE isn't what gE/Fans was either.
This place just isn't as creative/funny as it used to be, and I think that's why it's mostly a ghost-town now. It doesn't offer anything other than a place for about 20-40 people, most of whom have known eachother for the better part of a decade, to chat about kstate sports and politics. Which is fine, but not very accessible for "young talent."

Yep. That's fair.
Also fair is that KSO is largely the same group of people posting over and over, there are just more of them and there are more willing to engage in basketball discussion without inserting oscar (positive or negative) into every basketball topic.

I like it here

It's honestly not a bad idea to just turn this place over to wacky and co and let them make it what they want. Why fight it?
-
I do miss more in depth basketball discussions. I wouldn’t contribute much but I miss reading it. It’s not really worth it to me to wade through all the extra stuff at KSO to find the little bits I’m looking for. I also like a one stop shop so I don’t have to check 2 message boards for everything.
-
Also master threads are a good idea but most of ours are so rough ridin' long and we have talked about everything already.
-
I haven’t been over to KSO but I assume it’s more policed on language and you can get banned for stuff right?

Let's not make KSO out to be such a great place. One of their more current threads is about a possible nip slip at the Olympics.

Speaking of cats you miss (or 'Cats), why not keep up with your old pal Brad. It just so happens that I see him a few times a week, and I always bring a camera.
Coincidentally, I need four people to subscribe to YouTube.com/IlliniReport (http://YouTube.com/IlliniReport)

I'm sure I don't fit the mean demographic of this board . . . I'm one of the old ones. I was when it started quite a few years ago. I came here because I liked the alternative nature of the site at the time. I rarely post but have always enjoyed reading. I keep a low profile but apparently know a person or two through coaching youth. It's still a fun board overall.

This. Twitter is lighter and more enjoyable. I don't like the constant bickering here rather than just good debate and banter.

Yes, when the subject matter is interesting, turnout (quality and quantity) will be better at the arena, at paks, here, everywhere. And the quality discussion includes serious data stuff as well as the bbs equivalent of combofan'n in front of perceived landmarks.

eff is filtered out but that's about it. I did get chided by a mod because I told a dude to take his L. What's odd over there is that there are several posters who call for people they deem squawks to be banned. The board for all intents and purposes is no different than the old gpc, same posters, but actual good people running the site with great content.

that board where those two dudes from scout post is the only kstate bball themed messageboarding worth reading. thank god for life.

KSO. It's like Playboy. I read it for the articles.

I remember when I would jump on gE chat for every basketball game. Fun times watching good teams.

Counterpoint: the arguments people used to have back in the good old days, though fun, were ultimately REALLY stupid.
-
countercounterpoint. people still post really stupid crap, but no one bothers to argue with them.

Yeah, when K-State sports is interesting then this board will be interesting. People here are older now, sure. That just means they won't spend their time BBSing about mediocre K-State sport's teams, and that's okay, they've got kids and crap now. Priorities ya know? I have no doubt that this place will be really fun if oscar ever makes a tourney run, or more likely once he's fired and the coaching search commences. Same thing with football. We're stuck with coaches in both sports that have an annoyingly high floor and low ceiling. K-State sports is just not very exciting right now.
-
I agree with all that's been said about ge. I'm fine with it at this point being a place I BBS about the Royals/Chiefs and even if there's better Cats discussion elsewhere I'm not going to bother to scour the internet seeking it out. My enthusiasm about KSU hoops is pretty low so meh, whatev. I'll continue to BBS as I have for the past 6 months, pop in pop out as needed. I just try to avoid all renocat threads.

K-State sports aren't boring, our abundance of drama queens overdramatizing everything have seen to that.

That's fine if it's not boring to you. I think a big reason interest is down over here though is because it's boring for a lot of us. oscar Weber bubble teams and Snyder's 7-5 twilight years are not exactly moving the needle for quite a few people. When K-State hires a new coach in either sport I'll be much more enthusiastic, personally. Now, if it turns out they suck, I'll go back to being fairly uninterested, but right now I know what I'm getting in both sports, and It's pretty blah.

Coming from a young, relatively new lurker, if you want to know the reason this place is dead all some of you have to do is look in the mirror.
All I see on here is:
-Constant bitching between posters often referencing past beefs that no one but them knows or cares about
-Making little effort to welcome new posters with, IMHO, a general attitude of seniority & exclusivness existing amongst the "regulars and originals," ex. acronyms and other crap specific to gE with no legend so that someone new can understand. I get the feeling some seem proud to tout they have more gE knowledge than newbies, yet simultaneously bitch about it being dead, while ALSO simultaneously bitching about the old guy who tells back in my day stories.
-General lack of any info. This place used to have a lot of insider rumblings and interesting sources with legit stories to break. KSO and twitter have unequivocally passed gE in that regard. I come here to try to learn stuff I don't already know, not see the same public bickering happen by page 3 every thread.
-Disinterest in recruiting news. This is a huge market that is largely ignored here.
-Lack of interest overall. Football hired a 3 new coaches that stimulated a whooping like 6 pages of thread, most of which had nothing to do with breaking down the actual hire. We have a basketball team full of likeable characters, but you can't make it a page of thread without a Oscar or a negative nancy derailment.
I get a free site with no one paid to run will be somewhat limited in resources. I get that I'm being a huge hypocrite not contributing anything myself. It just seems this has become the place the OGs created for the OGs. Don't be that same old guy from above who also just makes lame excuses and blames everything on the next generation because you don't know why something changed

i bet group texts hurt a lot too. if group texts existed 10-15 years earlier, i bet Fans/gE wouldn't have thrived like it did.
banter amongst larger groups of friends is done through other mediums now.

I had/have all these same criticisms. I originally came here because i couldn't stand Fitz...i joined gpc many, many moons ago and really enjoyed it during the "glory" years of KSU athletics. At some point i just couldn't stand the way Fitz was running the place so i cancelled my subscription and came here....for all it's warts this place at least allowed me to continue to discuss the Cats. I honestly hadn't even considered KSO now that Fitz is gone. I just went over there and the site looks great. I'm gonna sign up for a year and see how it goes.

Ouch...I don't even post much and barely read anything besides _Fan. I'll be your scapegoat, but you got bigger problems in this board if I had that much of an impact.

This website sucks bc the mods are an unoriginal uninspiring echo chamber of weiner-y clones that supress the genuinely good posters.
-
There are so many shitty poster that just post away, but anyone who has a legitimately interestimg pov is PI'd and has their username changed. The board has devolved into the opposite of what it was created for, and that's 100% on the shitty baby fit mods.

My professional advice would be take what you can get and sell

This is spot on. I originally joined here with a different username but got PI'd to the point of saying eff it and i just quit. I didn't want to go back to Fitz so i just sat out for a while...then i thought, why should i let some assholes keep me from talking Cats and i got back in. Still, the discussions on here are not worth the bullshit most of the time.

I don't feel emotionally fragile but maybe i am. I think this is the reason this place doesn't have more posters. Who really wants to deal with it? I think it's 2 things: 1. OG's on this board have a "brotherhood" with other OG's....they like the people that are here 2. They think it's funny or enjoyable to eff with anyone on the board that is new, especially those that have a different opinion. It's effective. Will definitely keep this place the small, isolated mb it has become. And honestly if it was mine, maybe that would be the way i would want it. Might make sense to just quit allowing registrations?

No i get it...the PI is part of the hazing ritual. But to what end? This board is relatively devoid of any interesting discussion outside of what _Fan (and Posse) brings to the table. It used to be funny at least. Who wants to go thru the hazing process only to become part of ..... what exactly?

It never ceases to amaze me that people with bad opinions get really mad when other people challenge them to support or explain their bad opinions

I'm sure there are a variety of reasons participation has declined but I think message boards in general are slowly dying. Facebok and Twitter are capturing the younger audiences.
During my HS/early college years bbsn' was fun as hell. Places like GoBig12.com (later Austin360) and Big12Warzone had some great banter. Later down the road KSUFans and goEMAW picked up the torch.
The biggest factor for my slowdown over the past five years has been the addition of kids and a lack of time. Now that they've gotten a little older and life has slowed down a bit I have more time to waste on here. I do think participation from other fan bases would help spark better discussion here. CU and NU leaving the conference really killed a lot of good material. Other than KU, there really isn't anyone else in this conference that gives a crap about us.

Reddit is bigger than ever so I disagree. Also it shows how old you are if you think those two platforms are gobbling up the attention of young people.

Anyway, this was a good board at one time, it really was. It was certainly a nice respite from Fitz and his bullshit. I'm sure it's still fun for the core group. I have a text group like that and we really enjoy each other during games...this seems like it's just a larger version of that. You don't need me or people like me, you'll always have the core group so i understand the PI'ing and the like. But not having captain crap, BSAC and some of the other "in the know" posters just kinda makes this a place to chat with each other. No real good discussions, no insider information, no dissenting opinions, just a place to hang out and bullshit when you want. That was the whole point of this thread...without _Fan (and the like) I'm not sure why i'm here. I joined Rivals this morning...haven't dove in just yet but I'm looking forward to seeing what it has to offer. The site looks nice and they do have some content there so there's that. Best of luck to everyone on this board! We're all cats even if we disagree.

My least favorite thing about this board is that I have been here for years now and I still cannot figure out what "PI" even stands for.

Reddit is a different kind of animal. I would argue that it's an outlier, not the norm.
As far as where teenagers devote their attention, I'm certainly no expert. Mine aren't that old yet so I don't spend much time with that age group. However, my wife has taught middle school for the past 10 years and can vouch that nearly all the drama generated in classrooms stems from Facebook, or similar social media, and not message boards.

Sorry bud spracne is right about this one
No need to apologize, I'm honored to be your scapegoat, too. Kind of telling how a couple dozen half-serious comments were able to destroy an entire message board you and Spracne (maybe half the board, Idk).
To be serious, I had no idea that anyone even knew who I was until the "Which Poster Should be Our OC" thread. Like I said, I barely ever participate in convos, and the only posts I can even think of that have generated such controversy is when I like to give the alt-right some baffling in their echo chamber here. Again, if that ruined it for you, it was probably for the best. Carry on...

I was unaware of the alt-right echo chamber
-
When I first joined this board I was very excited because I love the Cats so much. When I moved to DC I tried a few times to watch KState games while talking in chat about the game. i missed being able to watch the games in person or with my friends. Every time I was told by a mod I wasn't allowed to talk in the chat or I would be kicked out of the chat room. So I stopped going there. Early on a few other posters specifically targeted me, I bumped into one in particular in the Ville who told me not to take it too seriously that everyone on the board was shitting on me.
I still love this board. I am more of a reader than an active participant though because I don't feel super welcome to contribute. But, I am also deeper into my career and have much less time to devote to BBSing. All that being said - I don't think that I am "God's gift to BBSing" or anything, but my personal experience was very specifically not an encouraging one. So take that for what it is.
I would also agree with everyone who has posted already that when the team doesn't do well there is less enthusiasm. When I experience a KITN from a KState sporting event I often have to avoid GE for awhile because I am way too into the Cats. haha I still love this community and hope we can keep it around awhile longer.

This board sucks bc the legacy posters rough ridin' suck, and nobody else can talk sports bc the legacy posters swoop in and muck it up with their boring regurgitated bullshit that they think is funny. It's like watching cousin eddy laugh at the pull my finger joke 5000 times a week.

what exactly is a legacy poster? basically everyone that still posts here logged a post pre 2012.
The fucktards that are basically logged in all day and post the same thing over and over.

That’s what I was getting at rusty

That moment you realize FSD is a bot (along with probably a dozen other gE posters).
-
I’m also kind of enjoying this thread as a non-legacy poster. It kind of has that feel of a 40-year old looking himself in the mirror realizing he’s no longer the young guy he thought of himself as, and wondering if he is where he wanted to be at this point in his life. Where did he want to be? Where SHOULD he want to be?

snapchat, instagram, and reddit aren't taking the young BBS talent.
it's twitter and groupchats.
So the coveted 17-25 demographic said to hell with gE.c and just took to Twitter huh. I bet the young _fan and _33 enjoy sharing stat sheets and KSU themed YouTube videos and photoshopped pics via group chats with their bro’s.
Barely any of that creative stuff has been happening on gE over the last few years.
2010-2012 gE was like 1960s TV. It was one of only like 3 places you could go to get ksu/combofan entertainment. There used to be a gif thread for crying out loud. Now there are just too many stimulants pulling in too many directions all over the internet
crap I've neglected that bad boy for too long!
I also yearn for some Turntable regularly.

There are so many shitty poster that just post away, but anyone who has a legitimately interestimg pov is PI'd and has their username changed. The board has devolved into the opposite of what it was created for, and that's 100% on the shitty baby fit mods.
This website sucks bc the mods are an unoriginal uninspiring echo chamber of weiner-y clones that supress the genuinely good posters.

Perfect example of a shitty poster that should be PI'd. "Expand your vocabulary, bruh". So rough ridin' lame.

i am pretty surprised there aren't more witty current students
It ended with Winters
Whoa winters graduated and as far as I'm concerned, I'm all you guys have with the current students. I have done my best to help the BBALL blog with the Kam news, early schedules, sign making and other stuff. I enjoy goEMAW a lot actually. I have told people about the blog and I have gotten people to get on and read. I love the crap out of the school we all talk about. Go back and look at my first posts they were shitty yes but I was just trying to talk to people who loved the same sports teams or had the same interests as me. I was a freshman in high school for God's Sake.
I have met Winters through this blog and Haverhill, they are both stand up guys. I like to think people that have been apart of this community are like both of them. The "legacy" posters don't bite, posters don't be afraid to reach out. I have asked a lot of questions in the job thread and everyone was nice enough to connect me with others who may know something about the field or how to break into it. Now I'm working at an internship here in town.
That's just my two cents. The day goEMAW leaves the web will be a dark one and I hope it never comes.

EFF NO! All the Riley Gates tucks are at GoPowercat. Twitter is where everyone is. Most people are starting on Twitter and Facebook in about the 8th grade. My bro in law who is a lurker and contributes from time to time told me about goEMAW as he graduated in 2011.

I honestly didn't hear about GE until after I graduated. IMO the "underground" feel of the message board is what both makes it great and also limits active new users. I think gorilla marketing is the next step - similar to the awesome fire oscar magnets from a couple of seasons ago. Start with band stickers in Aggieville bathrooms and on light posts on campus and go from there. Hide fake "premium user " gift cards in books in Hale. Maybe print out a handful of sweet GE tees and hand them to the first five or so people in line waiting for premo seats at football and basketball games. This approach keeps the Wildcat Salute types away and keeps things mysterious.

I wanted to clarify a few things that were bothering me. When i left GPC i originally went to TP's site and i can't remember it's name...think it was ksufans or something. It was nice to be free of Fitz and his bullshit and i liked that site. Then you guys broke away and took a lot of really good posters so i came here and honestly the board was really fun with a lot of fun and funny stuff. At some point i decided to try to contribute and was immediately attacked, but i knew it was the schtick so i was ready for it. Or I thought i was. LOL. After a few months of trying I said eff it and quit for a while. Then i came back as WB and told myself i wouldn't let the PI crap bother me this time. In truth the personal attacks were less irritating than the fact that there just was no good discussion. When someone disagrees with you, instead of a well thought out argument it's just vitriol. I realize this is how a lot of posters on here amuse themselves and that's unfortunate because it's not what i am looking for in a message board/community. I used to come to this place to be entertained and for a long while it was VERY entertaining....now it's not fun, funny or even interesting, outside of a few posters. I commend the group of guys that started this place...i've actually met some of you and you seem to be good people. The fact that you have your own message board is pretty cool...it's just not what it was and it's time for me to go. I spent a few hours yesterday on KSO and it brought back a lot of memories of the posters i used to know and enjoy. I think i'm going to like it there.
And MIR ftr I'm not an HR manager or a farmer. I own a Tier 1 automotive parts manufacturing company. We supply large structural automotive components to Ford, GM and Chrysler. I do appreciate the business advice i received in the pit! I'm putting it to good use. :cheers:

I like the stats and fan breakdowns. I am for gaining knowledge. The For KSTATE Fan site does get a little bit deep. Used to like the scout site. But they are all like a wind fart when compared to goEMAW. Loud at first, a rush of hot wind, and then stench.

Real talk is that when this board started KSU sports was rough ridin' awesome. We were riding the creciendo (nearing the climax) of the turnaround of KSU bball with a world-famous coach whose personality rubbed off on the team and the section of the KSU fan base that gathered here.
Not two years later Snyder 2.0 was shocking and awing in 2011 and giving us hope for a natty in 2012.
Then two big things happened.
1. Frank left and oscar came.
2. Sams left and no one has lit the fire since (hope for Skylar Thompson).
Basically, K-State sports became meh at best.
Well, that and all the new avenues that came along for fans/ people to interact.

Hey guys! Quick update on what everyone is wondering about...."How in the heck is Deez Nutz doin?"
Well, pretty good. Finally got my fat ass back in the gym yesterday and even started cardio! Went back today cause only 60% of my body was sore, and I'm an all or nothing kinda guy.
Anywho....guess who I ran into today dropping the kiddo off at the YMCA kids club?
Jesse freakin Eisenberg! I've been preparing for this for some time now and luckily had a speech ready which sounded an awful lot like "Ayyye! What's up man?"
To which he replied "Hey! Not much. How ya doin?"
So be jealous goEMAW, be very jealous. Me and my buddy Jesse bro'd down today with some deep thoughts and crayons underfoot.
