Why open up the team boards in the future? What's the point in spending the time to create team boards if everyone will be able to post in them at some point? Why are they private now? Why not just make them public immediately?

It's like handing a child a candy bar and telling them this is your candy, letting them take one bite, and then snatching it away from them to dole out to everyone else.

I can't speak as to why they weren't made public immediately, but if they were to be kept private, I would imagine the admin of adding people to each team board would get to be a nightmare.

I'm kind of up in the air about it personally. I do like having the respite and a chance for fan bases to have somewhat serious discussion amongst themselves. On the other hand, I think that if the team specific boards are moderated more strictly I don't this it would be that bad of an issue. I enjoy having outside input in more serious discussions but if it just turns into a "mini rant" where everything goes with trolling and flaming then I don't understand the need in the first place.

Yes.

This is why I was little surprised when Chicken did it the way he did.

Can you image how much easier it would be on him if he just opened them up to all members?

ETA: It might have been more difficult at first by having to regulate all those new forums with possible trolls/flames.

So, it makes more sense to me now why he kept them locked to outsiders.

And isn't each team board set up with admins from that school? That was the impression I got from DC's post on our board.

If so, that makes sense. Create the board, keep it private until you have admins in place that can police it, and then open them up.

From my understanding they're much more like moderators.

They can't ban/unban but they can manage RAs.

How would they manage RAs? Would they receive all RA requests on that board and then forward the most critical requests to the Admins?

According to one of our mods, Chicken is working on giving them ban ability. Only then will the boards be open to the public.

Not looking good for me so far...

Hey Kills, would you add that I went to school in Missouri? Couldn't hurt my cause.

and first check out their board request made for Kilo and I. I'm not saying that should affect your vote, but... 


It should also be noted that URHatin has been granted access already to post on the Arkansas board.

Miz Pig,

I'll add that you went to Missouri if you add that I frequently spend money canoeing the great Buffalo River with weekend stays in Eureka Springs.

I try to provide the people of Arkansas as much money as possible. I'm into causes.

See! You can't even help yourself!

Done.

ETA: And I didn't go to Mizzou, just went to school in Missouri. Just so we're clear.

Mmmhmmm...I also paid attention to who requested some of the outsiders be let in. This person might be in trouble with the Hog fans now yelling for the board to be private!

MIZ-PIG,

See...that's the difference between negative trolling and playful innocent trolling. I got you to laugh.

I just can't understand why everyone is so intimidated by me, yet y'all allow the very worst on your board - the LSU Trolls.

Whatevs. I'll wait to contribute when the board goes public.

I'm retarded.

The mobile site sends you to the post reply screen, but when you hit submit it says it's a private board.

You're too hard on yourself. You can't help being retarded. That's why our tax dollars go to help you! You're cool in my book, Memps!

Forward this to Porker ASAP!!!

I stand by my comments made about the Buffalo River. In the Spring during the rainy season, the Buffalo is one of the very best, beautiful floats in the entire country.

However (that's right - how the frick ever!), that river dries up to nothing more than a trickle by mid-Summer...earlier if the rains don't come in the Spring.

Therefore, in my opinion, it becomes a shitty float because I don't consider dragging a canoe half the time to be fun. I mean, if you want to walk the riverbed and look at the majestic bluffs, go at it!

In the meantime, I'll be floating the majestic Current River in Missouri anytime I wish because it's springfed and up all year long.

Buffalo during the rainy season = Awesome
Buffalo during the hot Summer = shite River

(I did acknowledge that the Kings and Spring Rivers are pretty badass)
