Should we bring back SD?

Some people might argue that the reason we're struggling to keep posters is BECAUSE we haven't banned some people who most definitely should be banned. Nobody wants to be around assholes.

I don't want to be a rod. I just want equality for all posters.

This 2 year experiment says otherwise. Unless you're going to tell me that recruiting news is the missing ingredient here?

But you have no evidence to support this theory - the bottom line is that we have no idea why we "lost" so many posters but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that it's probably because MSU fans don't want to dedicate time to posting on two different boards. There was a time when posters like Fwags and Muffy were basically posting the same threads on both the Swill and RCMB. I like posting on the Swill because it's a smaller more intimate community with lots of long time RCMB posters. The RCMB generally has more MSU information so I do check out that board too. But yeah, to say its because of one poster is really dumb.

I actually thought he was a bought and called him out as such, in a joking way on the game chats. Turns out he's not a bot and has lurked since. He posted a couple of weeks ago to basically validate HM's line of thinking. He doesn't post more often because of asswipes trying to domineer the board, like Robert and GM.

I guess he's just one voice but it's worth listening to.

Okay but it's one person who doesn't even have the wherewithal to regularly post here. Here's my take - we have a very small community - if there's a really annoying poster that no one likes then it's really easy to put them on ignore and leave it at that. Eventually the annoying people will leave if no one responds to them. Except Nigel of course.

I have 2 years of evidence.

1. We have polls, multi-quote, rich text, real mod tools, etc. Turns out none of that shit matters, despite all the bitching about it on tRCMB.

2. We had basically no modding or bans. Another RCMB gripe. The inmates are running the asylum. The result? After the initial surge, nearly everyone is gone. Why? A handful of assholes ruining it for everyone under the guise of "free speech". As I've said, they don't vote with the ignore button...they vote by not ever coming back.

2 years is a pretty good time frame. Seems to me it's time to try a different way of running things. What do we have to lose? Our last 10 users? Boo fucking hoo. Think I'll survive without Bob's 27 bumps every Monday morning, or your mundane random tidbits from your completely ordinary life in the desert.

And BOOM! Here it is - Heat, do you really think you're going to lure posters back here by banning SD265? Really guy? The Swill had its moment and now its gone, just like the XLF - you're not going to bring anyone back here. And, even more disturbing, is the fact that you're so upset about losing posters to begin with. Who the fuck cares? Did you really think that you were going to overcome the RCMB and take all of its users? Come on, man, you're fucking delusional and it's pretty transparent that its an ego thing with you. And yes, my life is pretty fucking ordinary, I never claimed that it was any but ordinary. I'm married with a kid. It doesn't get any more ordinary than that. But, I enjoy my life and do things that make my family and me happy. If that's a crime, then guilty as charged. And if you want to get personal, well, you're the sick bastard that posted nude pictures of (purportedly) your wife in order to save a fucking pathetic, shitty, dying message board. How sad is that? Holy shit, I was so fucking embarrassed for you. Zero integrity or respect for your wife. And when you threw around your alleged affiliation with Anonymous to catch Nucky on the RCMB

Whatever man, you're just as fucking ordinary as me. Stop trying to think you're not. You seriously need to reel in your Trevor Barnes syndrome. This place will never have even a fraction of the traffic on the RCMB no matter what kind of changes you make. Why can't you just accept that its a fun, small community and a place where Spartans can shoot the shit? Why does everyone think that they have to be a fucking super star? We're the mom and pops candy store around the corner from Wal-Mart, just go with it man.

It's going to be more fun without two major assholes. If you don't think it will be you can leave. But, like all of us, you won't.

I don't know that this creates more traffic. I do know this, by doing nothing it wasn't creating traffic.

I won't ban people without a reasonable dialogue with them and the in put of one or more mods.

You can't leave this place ghost. And you aren't a repetitive non creative poster. I'm not worried about you.

I've always been against banning someone unless, as I mentioned, they're posting kiddie porn or some other absolutely valueless, offensive content. But my overall point is really simple - why do we even need more traffic?

Can't we just exist the way we are? If you don't like SD or Moose then there's an ignore feature. It's an internet message board for fuck's sake. We're all adults here it's just ridiculous IMO to ban posters. I actually find SD265 funny. Some of Moose's stuff is actually pretty hilarious too. Using "Mr. March" after Izzo's biggest career failure is actually funny as hell. I don't take this shit too seriously to see the humor in using Mr. March after the MTSU loss.

Take a look at the vote total, genius. Wait let me guess, 20 SRC schticks.

Seriously, how do you function on a daily basis? Do you get special needs subsidies?
