Purpose of a message board?
« on: December 21, 2013, 01:03:23 AM »
What is it?  Seriously, I'm not sure what we are all doing here.

Are we supposed to just come on here and say Rah Rah Rah KSU, Go Cats?  Aren't we supposed to offer opinions?   Offer suggestions for what we think would be in the best interest of Kansas State football?

I'm old as hell but I grew up in the "question authority" generation.  I might agree with my president or my governor or my boss, on most issues, but, as an American I always feel like I hold the authority to disagree with their opinions on some issues as well--AS LONG AS I DO IT IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER.

Is this respectful disagreement OK in LHC Bill Snyder Football?  What Coach Snyder has accomplished here is absolutely legendary in the sport.  Does that place him above input and opinion from his fan base?

I don't write this as an attack on ANY of the posters here.  I just really would like to know what you'all get out of posting here and what you think our responsibilities are when posting and interacting.  I'm definitely as guilty as anyone else on here for over-stepping my bounds on occasion--just like in real life.

I enjoy the insight of other posters here, and on occasion, actually feel like I've learned something from some of the ideas posted. Obviously, there are some posters who come here just to get a rise out of the rest of us. They are easily ignored.

I think most of us would just like to share our thoughts and impressions--just like we do when we are sitting at The Bill during a live game--about what's going on in the game or with the program.

We don't have mods now.  Wonder is we are mature enough to moderate ourselves.

We don't have mods now.  Wonder is we are mature enough to moderate ourselves and put up with replies like this.

The purpose of a message board is so fans of a certain sports team can post messages to each other online and become the best of friends.

Just this morning I had breakfast with seven of my buddies(we were all in special force/agencies security and served together).  One of them is black, fwiw.  We all agree that the message boards are pretty much solely responsible for the hotdoggish manner in which fans talk to each other.  Also, Twitter and the new Pope will be the end to moral society.  There used to be a day when fans being hotdoggish meant attending a game together and simply asking, "did you see that?" And having your seat neighbors responding with, "yep and Hotdog! that was a good play!".

The point of this forum is to bag on low post count members. Not judge them on how strong the swim.
Did you know Kansas State's first mascot was a black lab?

I don't like master threads as much as others. I mean, they have there purpose. But, so do new threads.
