re: Anyone else hate Tigerboard?

I've been on TB almost 14 years. It's cliquey, it's filled with the same inside jokes being respun constantly, and most of the new posters are trolls.

New format would get rid of most of that by allowing real posts to be bumped to the top, but knowing the posters over there insure bumping would turn into the new way to keep inside jokes going.

I like that its basically a chat room on game days or when something is happening, I like the mob moderation or trolls, and I like being able to IM.

I've been on TB for 12yrs. I've even met a few posters at games and Alumni gatherings.

When you've been on as long as I have, you figure out who the intelligent posters are and who are the idiots.

MUBobby is a legend. Had inside scoops, but has since gone silent. A TT poster knew critical info on realignment. TigerMike90 posted two days correct info on the Nubs going to B10 before it was announced.

I like the search capacity and being able to find posts from years back. Example: here is what TigerMike90 posted 2days before anybody knew about NU:

Nick does need to update the format.

Just reading that TigerMike post still sends cold shivers down my spine. We were so close to holding the bag with the Iowa State's on conference reallignment, it's not even funny. -- Then to fall into the open arms of the SEC is like a dream come true.

The late Beano Cook used to refer to Missouri as a sleeping giant - couldn't understand why MU wasn't a major power.


Well maybe I'm drinking the Kool-Aid, but I think Missouri is on the precipice of kicking in the door on this "Big Six" bullshite - especially in the SEC East.

And why not? We play a modern game (with modern uniforms) in the best conference in the country.
