Will gE retire with Bill?
« on: October 29, 2018, 03:22:01 PM »
Like Bill, gE has been passed over by superior programs with more talent.  Feel like it would only be fitting to close this outdated geezer down with Bill too.  Thoughts?

This board was only ever popular because it backed up it's edginess with humor. The humor left a long time ago, and was replaced with sanctimonious preaching. I guess it's hard to be funny when the team sucks, or maybe it's just a sign of the times. Who knows?

Exactly. I sure hope he isn't referring to kso. The content there is awesome, the message board is exactly the same as it ever was. The posters didn't leave with fitz, maybe a handful of tucks, but otherwise nothing's different.

Yup. Can probably lay the blame on the program sucking and the birther pit.

We could win a title and I won’t give a eff about basketball or the basketball board as long as Weber is the coach.  I suppose that sort of sentiment has contributed to the decrease in traffic.  We donate almost all of the money we get from ads to K-State causes.  So, I don’t really give a eff about decreased traffic.

it's maddening seeing such average k-state BBS'ing rise to dominance.

I haven’t set foot over there is it really that popular? I just assumed it was the dipshits from the scout board and gpc boards combined with a handful of people that left here because they didn’t like people being mean to them.

I mean, yeah, it's pretty high volume.  There are a lot of posters making a lot of posts.

Frankly, it's probably too big.  Other than the mods, the people I know from here, and the 2 or 3 dominating personas over there (who are nauseating, btw), it's hard to distinguish one poster from another.

Same, that seems about right though.

This board basically lost most of the mediocre posters + _FAN.  The mediocre or brand new ones made things fun for good posters to get one over on.   I can’t think of many specific posters I miss seeing here, but I may have just forgotten. 

GOAT Daris doesn’t post enough anymore, that’s my main complaint.

Obviously, a coach search is exactly what this board needs for a shot in the arm. Bill and oscar are specifically the reason the board has slowed--because both are extremely boring, vanilla figureheads for their sports. So no, gE won't die with Bill. It will be at least slightly resurrected once he leaves.

oscar is far from vanilla. Pretty much the entire board took a hard stance against oscar and instead of just wearing that we were wrong most are just choosing to plug their ears and sing really loudly to ignore what the program is, now the basketball board is nearly unreadable because of renocat. Remember kougar and why he left? Dude took off because he thought we were too soft on oscar, ell oh ell.

The renocat sock is by far the one thing I would like to kill off about late stage gE.

I’ll sign up for KSO and see what the fuss is all about.  Paying to BBS seems unamerican but oh well.

I'm unlikely to bother getting re-comp'd there until it's time to promote FattyFest 2019.
