I have a fundamental problem with paying for something I can just wait a few days and get for free.
They way that Liucci and his ilk try to sell it is even worse (looking down on people who don't subscribe, getting butthurt when their premium info turns out to be wrong, etc.). They can't handle legitimate competition or alternatives.
Looch gets hyper-defensive all the time, and it is annoying. The rest of the premium board is just giant jock sniffing posts, and ultimate sunshine pumpers. And this new TexAgs staff mantra of, "battered Aggie syndrome" thing I'm reading makes my eyes bleed. The problem is people take themselves too seriously. You can't criticize anything without it being some hypberbolic criticism, or a fatal flaw in yourself. It is obnoxious, but such is the internet I feel. In 10 years time all of us, that have been here since day 1 of the rant's inception of the Aggie board, will be treated like Gods to the young Aggies that venture to this place looking for football discussion. We need an official list of the founding members with a plaque or something.

I'm embarrassed to admit I did that all from memory.
There are probably others I'm forgetting.

I'd settle for just being treated like everyone else.

I was on Texags in the beginning and was a part of the original defection from GoBig12 from whence it came and can tell you that the early prominent posters have mainly disappeared or certainly aren't amongst the most prominent there now. I remember when Liucci's M&W Report was a fax and had no affiliation with Texags. The site has changed and evolved many times both for good and bad. There was a time when A&M Football and the General Board had civil conversation and people weren't attacked or made fun of unless they REALLY asked for it. Now the site is really driven more by the content provided than the discussion, the best quality discussion is on the specialty boards now.
The interwebs have changed a lot over time.

Big Kat and Smoke Ring were posting pretty consistently when I first came on here. I lurked for a while here but wanted the smoke to clear a bit after the 2011 regular season.
I don't really have a problem with TexAgs. The content is great and that's what I use it for. The posters and subjects sometimes drive me nuts, but that's why I basically never post there. The fact is that most one team boards aren't good. That's why I wanted to post here even if it's mostly a lot of trolling. This board (the A&M one) can be different because it's attached to a larger conference board.
