I vote that people voting need to actually be contributors to the Auburn board. If you hardly post and mainly lurk, your opinion should be irrelevant. This is not a slander to anyone in this thread, just a point that should be made.
Just because you live on this forum doesn't disqualify other Auburn fan's opinions or vote. Trying to exclude people that don't agree with you is childish.
You guys are trying to increase the size of your clique has no benefit for the Auburn Forum.

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 would be okay with these posters.
This is pretty much all we are asking for. We aren't asking for us to open the flood gates, just grab a water pale and scoop up some high quality H20

If someone wants a Bama perspective on a certain recruit, go to their recruiting thread and look for info.
We can't ask specific questions on the Bama board about people. Not everyone posts on the SEC Recruiting board.
Also, we can't talk about general football ideas in the SEC recruiting board.

It's kind of stupid for someone to have an opinion if they don't even contribute, though.

I am a relative unknown on the SEC rant and don't care about being popular/ having EFriends.
I simply want people to post on here knowing the Bama perspective on instate recruits as well as someone who can educate us on some 3-4 + other topics about football they know more about

The resistance to this idea alone should be a huge red flag.

I disagree with that.
They read what's posted on this board just as much (or maybe more) than the rest of us. Just because they don't add to the post count of threads doesn't mean they won't be affected by the decision.

You are quickly becoming my least favorite poster on the Auburn board. Worse than AuburnAVP and his fluid situations and MsGarrison
Just ignore every rational argument and refuse to even see logic. At least other people are making resourceful arguments about how it could fail. You have not addressed any of that and have not explained why a trail basis is the most horrible thing ever
I did not, nor will I attack you because we have a difference of opinion. I will directly address your original point in the OP, which I have been trying to do in a humorous fashion.

We need some Alabama perspectives over here when it comes to some things
I get bama perspectives many, many places and most of the time I get much more bama perspective than I would like.
I enjoy the fact that I can come to this board and be free of the bama perspectives. There are things I feel better about expressing when I know I am in a group of Auburn fans only and I would not express these things in "mixed company".
When something bad happens like the Iron Bowl or R. Foster I want to post with Auburn fans only and would rather not read the posts of bama fans no matter how classy they may be.
On the rare occasion when I do want to know the bama perspective on something I go to a bama board and read it.
As another olive branch let me say after graduating from Auburn I did get my masters from bama so you can count me as a bama grad.
Anyway Gene's Chin I do enjoy your contribution to the board and the vast majority of your posts.
PS I do like the idea of a separate rivalry board, because I could visit as much or as little as I wanted.

I'll disagree with that too.
There wasn't 100% support for the team boards when they first started. A number of people (myself included) believed that it would basically kill the SEC Rant and what made it special.
Obviously, we were wrong (for better or worse

Not really. Some people really enjoy coming here and reading the posts in the threads. Just because they don't have hefty posts counts doesn't disqualify them from having an opinion.

There are many different types of contributions however. I haven't seen anyone posting in this thread that doesn't show up in game threads or the like pretty regularly. The difference is many of us really don't have much to say during the rest of the year outside of asking questions here and there about recruiting and following what our recruiting oriented posters on the site have to say.
One does not have to post every vapid thought that comes into their head to be a part of the board, or be an insider. There are many levels, and the stuff you and Gene are suggesting would affect everyone equally, be it a lurker or a crazy high post guy like yourself.

Considering how my girlfriend says I am too rational in responses and don't get emotional about situations, it is weird how my emotions get the best of me when I post on this board.
I get very opinionated and outspoken which isn't like me in real life. I edited out some parts of my earlier post. I was just upset and frustrated.

I advocated for this on the help board once upon a time and it was shot down. I was pretty pissed. That would be best case scenario and preferred by me too.
This idea is only because the rivalry board is not going to be approved

He made an argument based on resistence showing it is a bad idea, I countered showing how resistence is not an indication of something being a bad idea. I was simply proving his underlying assumption to be false
It isn't full retard, just simple logic

The resistance to it is a huge red flag to me, but it red flags that we have a lot of posters on the board that are very close minded to new ideas.
The people arguing over this act like we are trying to have open invites to every other poster on the rant when that isn't the case. We are wanting to take a few people in that can contribute to discussions.
People arguing against this act like we, as Auburn fans, all agree on everything and there aren't different perspectives already on the board.
People arguing against this act like it can't be undone. If you feel that some of the new posters are flaming, just RA and let it be dealt with. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.
People arguing against this probably don't realize that there are already other fan bases with people on the board. I wouldn't expect that any new posters that get access would make camp here and only post here. You may rarely see them here with the exception of a few relevant posts.

Gene wants to have more than 2-3 bama posters. His post on the help board.

The key is to get a few that everyone agrees on that are extremely popular/well known then slowly add "well he is a great poster too" and we can swing somewhere in the 8-10 poster range
I'm sorry. I don't want to click on an AU board, and have bama posters on here.

I was all for it. The Rant has it's place and I enjoy it from time to time but I was very happy when they decided to make the team forums.

You're looking at the scale of the matter rather than the cause/effect scenario that he's pointing out.
People, under most circumstances, want to maintain the status quo. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's not. Might as well give this a tiny shot now while we have the chance to dictate the magnitude rather than waiting, letting the issue build up over time, leaving the possibility for floodgates to be opened later down the road.
