Not one that has the built up fanbase of the SEC rant

So obviously you think this is the most terrible idea. Explain though, why you are so opposed to trying this out on a trial basis?

I am not advocating every Bama fan just a few, so this isn't a slippery road. If it fails we kick them out no harm done

don't get so uppity about it. I would rather have a hand full of good posters from other fanbases than a few of our Auburn posters on here. This board will only get better with the right posters from other bases that can bring good info on guys we are recruiting.

With that said, I don't give a shite either way. I am also on 247 so I have that info to go through too.

This. We have enough bama kiss asses that post on the Rant already. Keep that shite over there.

BTW, my thread about gump board access was a joke. I never wanted access to their board and do not want them on ours. I have not clicked on their board since national signing day and have no interest in it.

Do Not Want

If you want to see a Bama perspective read the Bama recruiting board or the comments on AL.com.

As Pat Dye said "We don't need that riff-raff around here."

That place is worse than the SECRant.

Besides, there wouldn't be any posters like that on this board. Come on.

Quoting Pat Dye on this board
I love Dye but I wouldn't quote him here.


So all the people opposed to this idea, do any of you care to explain why doing this on a trial basis is also not acceptable?

Either you are right and you get to feel good + revert back to the way things are currently

or

You are wrong and we get a positive experience that benefits the board


So either it is status quo or positive experience. So not understanding why this experiment is getting such resistence

Getting our own separate forum was the best thing that ever happened to SEC rant.

Why do I think letting fans from other schools in the "Auburn Forum" is a terrible idea? Experience.
There are and will be Auburn fans who don't like the idea so it will turn into the rant jr. in a heartbeat.

If you can start your own forum you can invite the fans from SECrant you'd like to participate.

I know Bama fans IRL that aren't flaming douchebags so if I want a non Auburn opinion I would ask one of them.

Agree, no need for rival fans over here. Keep it on the SEC rant. No need for two rants, so go there for the bama perspective.

The problem is some of those you suggested and like 80% of the ones TT suggested have been straight up flamers in the past on a regular basis. And personally that's what the SEC recruiting board is for. You can just ignore the stupid MSU/Tenn/Arky posters and pay attention to what guys like Magilla say over there, no real reason to have them post the same stuff here IMO.

Though that being said, I wouldn't have huge issues with guys like Magilla, Robot Santa, and perhaps NATidefan posting over here, as all three are solid posters that are pretty level headed.

I can also think of a number of AU posters on here that would start flaming the guys we let in simply because they have a script "A" by their name.



Completely irrelevant, but I had a guy come up to me, who knew I was a student at Auburn, and ask why they allowed me to openly wear a Bama hat.

I was wearing a Braves hat.

I do not want Alabama fans on this board. We can talk to them on the Rant.

I almost got jumped by a group of bama fans in Destin during spring break when I saw a guy with an Alabama tattoo and drunkenly said to him "Hey man nice tattoo. You must be a huge braves fan, I am too."

Yeah, no. You should follow theirs posts more closely and you'd notice that they are definitely some of the best Alabama posters on board. They're pretty good to be from any fanbase. And I follow the board a ton, which is sad, but I would know better than almost anyone.

What's the point of team boards if we let other teams post on them? If you want their opinion on a prospect, there is the SEC recruiting board. If you want their opinion on football (which I don't know why you would), there's the SEC rant.

This is a horrible idea


I agree with all of this.
