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.
Not at all the point I was trying to make with that.

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".
You realize that this board is visible to everyone right and that you are always in mixed company due to that?

Gene wants to have more than 2-3 bama posters. His post on the help board.
Earlier I posted the only 5 that I would vouch for. I wouldn't mind having 8-10 (if we could find good ones) is the point I am making if the intial 3-5 work out. I never once said I wanted more than that and have argued that point.
Either way, I do not control the scale/# of bama posters we allow in so if everyone said "We only allow 1 Bama Poster" not like I can do anything about that.
Stop getting hung up on that, I was making a point about allowing good quality posters and there are probably more than 5 out there and likely in the 8-10 range. This wasn't some coup to sneak bama posters in here

Well since Ross asked for general feedback and most the feedback outside GenesChin and TTs has been negative, I would say its going to be a NO on this idea.

Not quite sure where you have gotten "most"
There were at least 6 posters that have agreed and were in support for a limited # of specific posters Add in a few others that were open to the idea on the help board and that brings us to more posters than were against the idea in this thread
Just because only TTs and me are being the big advocates of this idea, doesn't mean there aren't others that have posted in support in some fashion or aren't in favor

There's more than 6 opposed to it. Who are the 6 by the way?

I don't know about the help board. Have them come over here and support and actually agree to it and not be open to it and you can count them.

Okay, how about this:
Magilla
NATidefan
Robot Santa
Patton
Let them in, give them a couple weeks into football season to prove good behavior, then we revisit the topic the Sunday after the Ole Miss game (October 6)? Might as well try and keep this as structured as possible. If we can get four or five other guys to sign off on this, then Gene, will you take this to the Help Board in a new thread?

Well, can to do a viable poll to show who is for and against?

We have. On the OP, the up/down vote.

Why don't those of you who are pushing this petition for access to the Bama board instead? You can mingle with the Gumps until your heart is content.
Question: In this brave new world, will I be scolded for using the word 'Gumps' on the Auburn Board?

question: will the software allow you to limit it to a AU/Bama Love Fest/mutual appreciation recruiting thread?
that would be a compromise.
I personally don't give a fricking damn about their opinions and that's basically what were talking about. Both sides have countless people watching every recruiting service, reading every article, listening to every interview, and watching every tweet. Within 2 hours the information is out and everyone knows.
I realize my opinion means little since I contribute so little, but I've had a belly full of these bastards all my life and I'm sick of them. Their opinions, their websites and their hatred for Auburn, from Bryant to Eric Ramsey to the killing of the trees.....
frickum.

Seriously this is a horrible idea and would defeat the purpose of having team boards. If you want the Bama perspective ask for it on the SECr. If nothing else, request a rivalries board and you guys can jerk each other off to your hearts content

I am aware of this, but I like knowing bama fans are not going to reply or argue with my posts.
I am a democratic guy, I would not mind putting this up to a vote.
Also, who gets to decide when a bama poster's comments are offensive. Some people love the rant and some people hate it. I would imagine there would be some disagreement on when a bama poster was crossing the line.

A poll is an undeniable way to know.
Who is going to go back through the thread and count yeas and nays?

Our board, if they get upset about us flaming bama, they can just not come on here
I put a poll on the page so you can put your name by it. Ross gets to have the final say but it will allow him to see where we are.

Best idea I have seen in this whole thread.

I won't, I'm not so sophisticated that I think everyone is "butthurt" because they don't like the idea.
Posted on 7/28/13 at 3:10 pm to AUCE05
We will be putting our name down in support or against. If you don't like the idea enough, be willing to put your name down like a man (or auburn woman)
If Ross sees the vote and decides one way or another, so be it
