A quote from Nick's post

"As an incentive to join the league, I will be giving everyone who signs up and deposits money using the TIGERBOARD promo code a free year's subscription you can use on the new Tigerboard when it launches early next year. I will also make you a subscriber on this iteration of the board software which will get you 15 more MOB votes each day and a few other perks."

Nick's post

Sorry Nick, Tigerboard is not worth any amount of subscription money. I don't mean to sound like a dick about it, but the quality of that board is crap both in content and in format. I would hope the money is going to go toward the format, but I highly doubt the content will be equal to PM.

I hope we can recruit more Mizzou fans over to the Rant. Killz, this might be the time to move forward with what we were discussing.

I tried to check that site out years ago but it was impossible to navigate.

If they are going to have a subscription they better fix their format.

Yeah, I agree. Sorry I've been exceptionally busy at work and have been working on a commissioned project outside of work.

When I'm finished with that project, I'll let you know and perhaps we can make strides toward accomplishing our goal.

Good deal and no worries. I have been pretty busy with the moving and summer junk going on. We will get it figured out.

If he's going to charge a subscription fee, the content has to justify it. Unless there is a completely new format, and original, exclusive content, TB won't grow beyond the few cronies that will pay for it because they want to support Nick.

I see where Nick is coming from. Ad dollars can only take you so far. But unless he's going to have journalists, and exclusive content, and a totally different format... I see lots of new members here.

TB has had previous subscriptions before. There is still a subs board those subscribers can access. I doubt there will be anything major as far as requiring everyone to subscribe.

And I doubt content will ever be a problem. Anything that happens, TB will be either the first or 2nd place you can find it. And it does have some exclusive content (mubobby and crazylegs ring a bell?).

TB needs to flush out the trolls and flamers. That should be Nick's #1 objective. Content there already blows every other Mizzou site (including paid sites) away.

There wouldn't be a basketball board without TB's trolls and flamers.

I think what notsince is saying is that the entire website needs to be erased because everyone who posts on it is in fact a troll and a flamer.

I think...

Just kidding, but Tigerboard sucks. The "exclusive" content comes from normal people who will move on to a different and better site.

That board is a joke now that Nick has allowed FIJI to F-It up. Hope those people migrate over here.

Eh. I don't mind the Feej. He's annoying when he's wrong and won't admit it. But I'm not sure any single person knows more about Mizzoi basketball than him.

Tigerboard is an embarrassment just for that gawd awful format. It deserves to die and a subscription should do the trick.
