Meh in fairness this particular board has been dead since the Grumor/Schiano fiasco of 2017.

Plus generally speaking it also ain't the early 2000s and 20oughts anymore. Message boards are going way of the typewriter and are fizzling out more and more as time keeps marching on. Only Boomers and Gen Xers still do message boarding about their sports teams now. Gen Z and most Millennials just don't use message boards like the SECRant anymore. The online convos have all are carried out on social media platforms and Redditt for the sport fans in the two younger generations.

Fair enough. Despite this being a great time to be a Vols fan with success in every sport, you can’t beat Father Time. And all the older Vols posters that stayed active have been banned.

Still have VolNation, 8th Maxim, and the On3/24/7/Rivals pay for access message boards that are still alive if you need to find a spot for online discussions about all things Big Orange should Reddit/X/Facebook not be your thing. Definitely no chance in hell this board ever becomes active again

As a fellow Vols fan I’ll check those out. Thank you.

So, that is why you see almost no old Tennessee accounts. They banned them all.

There is much hatred for Tennessee on the main boards. They are still bitter about the 90s.

LSU and Georgia fans seem to be the worst.

Pretty much. Any Vols fans that make too much noise get banned. And we had some great posters on the site for years. But the UK fan whines about them and they go away.

Stay out of the UGA stuff. Stay out of threads with the UK fan that tries to provoke you then get you banned. Try to be respectful and realistic and you will be fine.

I can moderate discussion in here and allow access or remove access but that’s about it.

OOPS! I have already laid into one today.

I've seen him. Why is he allowed to just keep on? Why will the main admins not take action ?

He is absolutely a terrible poster. He has the one good old picture thread on the off topic board. Other than that, he is pretty much just a troll.

He was a decent poster on other boards and stays in the rules so he’s not going anywhere.

Hopefully when the season starts up we will see a handful of Vols posters return.

I'll just troll back.

What are his weak points and sore subjects? I will hurt his feelings...within the rules of course.

He is obsessed with Vols fans being alter accounts for Crunchy, OrangeJugs and Serriuos (spelled wrong. Push him and you will get banned because he is a whiny little man

I've noticed he is whiny and arrogant. He acts like he is very important or valuble around here.

I have seen Serraneaux post. He is okay. I think he like to poke the bear with a stick, but don't we all..

Have you ever asked the main admins to unban some of the old posters? There are a lot of grown crybabies here it seems, and the main admins are a part of that group.

I can see a ban if someone is posting another's personal info, or porn, or something else illegal. The clown that owned Democratic Underground had the Secret Service asking questions more than once. Those lunatics were threatening the POTUS.

Grown men banning one another because they got their feelings hurt is ridiculous.

Yes, when I was 1st made an admin I looked into it. Most had been gone for over a year by then.

Word travels fast on the Vol sites.

Get about 20 of them unbanned and post a list of names on the rant. A few might return. It's worth a try.

Out of curiosity, what UT posters have been banned? I thought most of them just migrated to another board several years ago.

WTF is up with your fellow UGA fans? They are literally making up fantasies.

Why is your fan base obsessed with UT?

It's the rant. It's a cesspool.
