re: Inactive recruiting thread

I came over here from Auburn Eagle. I was a mod there and contributed to recruiting until I was banned for suggesting publicly that moderators be a little more lenient.

I liked the Auburn fans here because we were coming off the Tuberville era and building something weird with Chizik. It culminated in the 2010 championship season, As The Plains Burn, and the rant’s persecution of anything Auburn related.

This board was special because after a year or more of not being able to discuss anything Auburn related we finally had a space to go deep. It’s why we are one of the only team boards that do not allow outsiders. But the original group of natives here were tight knit and kept things civil despite our differences because the previous few years in the rant sucked arse.

Along the way we’ve lost that camaraderie. And with that this board has become as generic and soulless as anywhere else. In the last year it’s become truly toxic as politics and current events entered every thread. The recruiting thread is one of the many victims as it tends to be consistently active.

In summary, this board just isn’t my place anymore. Old posters have wandered away and new posters have changed the culture here. I’m just not a good fit for it.
