Should The SEC Rant Have It's Own O-T Lounge?

It's seems like a good idea to me, especially in the slower off season.

The current OT lounge is dominated by LSU for obvious reasons.

I think it would be nice to have an Off Topic board with a nice mix of SEC posters.

What say you?

ETA: I'm more talking about if the SEC Rant breaks off from the TD boards.

I think it's fine the way it is.

No, if another OT is created one must be destroyed, so says the universe.

OT is designed for discussions not involving team affiliations. It is OK the way it is.

I do too actually, I'm not pushing for it but if it were to happen, I would be fine with that too.

I hope it doesn't. I think it'd bring in a younger age of folks and overall, that would be bad for rational discussions at times and during the season. When the SEC Rant first began, in the 1st year or two, the avg age when threads were made asking.. was around 30. I think it's around 22 or so now. The quality isn't what it once was. I think there's a direct coorelation.

NO! There is only ONE OT-Lounge that cannot be duplicated or imitated.

Too many boards already. No need to create a redundant board.

No...The O-T does not seem school specific as it is.

No the culture Southern Louisiana lends itself to the embelishment found in the OT. The over the top can not be duplicated without the lying for sport gene

No offense, but don't you troll as much as anyone else?

I see your point but I think it could increase overall board traffic, which I think could be a goal of the site.

Granted, with more traffic comes more bad poster, but also some good ones.

Additionally, with a SECR O-T, it could be a haven for the less mature posters you are referring to, thus increasing the overall quality of the SEC Rant.

Also, SEC Rant threads would be less susceptible to an IM highjack like I've seen so many times.

Don't need it now but if secrant and TD separate completely, it may be a necessity

None take. I like to think I instigate thoughts, not troll.

I look for thought out replies, not emotional outbursts when I post.

I would also like to mention the idea of a SEC Rant O-T board has been rumored in the past.

It might actually happen if the SEC Rant breaks off from the Tigerdroppings.com boards, also been rumored.
