Several of the SEC schools have posting boards similar to this, with diversified schools represented. But this one is far more popular and diversified than the others. Why is that?

Because cursing is allowed and for the most part the lunatic fringe that post on team sites have not migrated over.

Examples of other boards? Because the rivalry boards I have seen all have mods who don't let people post what they want. They let their feelings get in the way and delete/modify posts.

Generally a better class of poster.

For example, most of the AU fans here aren't rabid ITATers. (with the exception of Irons Puppet, MattP and a few others)

There is not as much "Homerism" here.I'm refering to all the SEC fans that post here.Most people that post here have been around message boards for a while and know how to act.

Because you can pretty much do or say anything you want unless your flaming becomes out of control.

I hate the homerism and censorship on our boards. TD.com rocks!

Came to TD because I work with one of the LSU posters on here. Best SEC forum without a doubt.

I've been wasting my time on SEC-themed boards for nearly 15 years, and I always hoped I'd find a forum where every school was represented, and that the discussion would range from serious analysis to outright foolishness. And where the mods had enough of a sense of humor (and thick enough skin) to let the posters run the show (within reason, of course).

It's not perfect, but The Rant comes the closest to that ideal than any board I've encountered.

i like to play swords with ole miss people and make fun of auburn fans for being blind. also the arky fans just make me laugh with their epic confidence and superiority. Also, the format is so much better here and there are a lot more posters so there's a lot more threads and posts. It's just better when you discuss things with other teams from the conference and also have a bunch of other boards to read.

Like a loose whore, the posting policy here allows for wide-open posting for all comers.
