It's just one person going off. The only reply is very rational and hits all the important points.

OP is wrong on a number of points:
This board itself has a small number of regulars but the larger site has a substantial USC presence. We are 8.4% of the rant and are the largest SEC East fanbase here.
Talked smack? Sure, about the site administration and general culture, not the membership.
Hope it would stay down? No. No one said this. CT has a place in the world, I just want to see it get better. It is a poorly moderated website.
No. I have never been banned on CT. CNB is not banned on CT. IIRC most of us are not banned on CT.
I sort of expect to be banned now, given the past pettiness of CT moderators, but painting us as all as CT castaways is incorrect and disingenuous. Most of us left because we don't like the culture of CT and that culture is worthy of critique.
Where the frick is my call-out? I've talked way way more shite about Spur than IBG you illiterate non-pattern noticing retard.
Nobody said this. Personally I've said that I enjoy CT's format and prefer it to this one. I want to post on a CT that isn't run like the personal garden of its moderators, I want to post on a CT that isn't a gigantic Bukkake session to satiate Spur's cum fixation, I want to post on CT because it is the flagship forum of USC fans online - but I can't because of their terrible leadership. You can see it with Spur's poor moderation, you can see it when looking at old threads and notice nearly half of the posters have been banned over the years, and you can see it when a covert bitcoin mining script hijacked visitors' machines and took the site down for half a month. It is not a well run website.
This board and CT exist in two different ecosystems; smack vs. homer. They fill two different niches. We've never claimed to be better than CT for curing the homer itch. We're not going to get a baseball forum, a basketball forum, or a recruiting forum, those things aren't coming. This is the lounge for USC fans on the larger site to hang out and specifically talk about SC sports and issues. The sites have different roles.
Come over here and get eaten alive. This is a smack forum, it's a completely different culture. Spur himself got ran out of here with his tail between his geriatric arse legs.
Just out of curiosity let's see what we can learn about the OP:
Yeeeeeeeep just what I thought. 50+ years old and judging by his lack of affiliation, his atrocious reading comprehension skills, and his inability to post paragraphs I'm going to assume he's also a side-walker. CT is rapidly becoming the convalescent home for our less intelligent older generation. Young fans aren't going there and they know it...they're staying on twitter, they're going on reddit, or they're going to sites with younger more entertaining cultures like this one. I feel bad for the ones who do end up on CT only to get banned in under a year for posting in a way that completely flies over the heads of Spur's out-of-touch Alzheimer-havin-arse clique.
CT gon CT.
..and just for the record because I know how they are: I am not saying that the site admin knowingly incorporated the malicious script in to their code, I don't know that and while it wouldn't surprise me, more than likely it happened without their knowledge. At the very best they are negligent and at the very worst they are abusive. These things don't happen to most boards, this didn't happen to huskerboard, or tidefans, or buckeyeplanet but it did happen to CockyTalk and that says something about its leadership.
Also the story they're going with is that the mining script was in an ad from a third party ad delivery system, yeaok.gif. A two week off-time to address a problem with ad delivery? That's super believable.

Ibleedgarnet loves to talk smack about Spurt and says he wouldn't come back but the funny thing is he has come back over here with other names just to get banned again.

I just found it funny that a handful of posters talk smack about Cockytalk when the fact is their forum is the worst Gamecock site in the history of forums....talking down about ct and how their board was better
