It's almost like most of you (both sides included) are fishing for upvotes rather than rational discussion. You all say you want this board to be better, but you do nothing to improve it.

What has happened here? How have we gotten to this point?

It's in the nature of sports fans to talk shite to sports fans of other teams. It's one of the best things about following sports, IMO.

The problem is when pussies don't understand that it's all in good fun.

You think shite posting is bad? Imagine living in England and being a soccer fan. They go all out to the point of getting into fist fights with opposing fans.

We are regular Cosmopolitans by comparison.

Quit bitching about it and lighten up.

His point is that it’s all shite posting though. shite posting is fun when there is some rational, informative posts to go with it. Some real discussion. I like how the SEC recruiting board is/used to be. They have legit discussions over there but it’s recruiting only board. Plus upvotes aren’t even recorded on here to my knowledge so fishing for them with dumb posts every single time is stupid. But this is the rant. That’s what we are known for now. CFB reddit is decent I guess because the shite posts get filtered out but I still love the rant.

Well the issue is that Florida and Bama fans are a mostly grown children type fanbase, all they do it spend their free time trolling like 12 year olds so no one can take anything seriously and half topics are a waste of time to look at. You can spot a virgin troll in the title before even opening the thread.

We can improve it by actually banning some recurring virgin trolls like texag, gatorbait2008, and Cobb dawg. Probably have to purge the entire Alabama and Florida fan bases though.

no kidding. There is so much shite posting, I suppose a lot of posters that would discuss sports just avoid it lately.

Yea, the problem is definitely those two fanbases.

We need more TrueTigerTale types

it's a football messageboard, not an astrophysics discussion.

It's a combination of sorts. Sure this board can be full of trashy content and a place of ill repute, but for the most part it's a God send. If anything we need to be grateful, and thank the ones behind the scenes who make this board run.

You're one of the good ones. It's like you try and balance out the idiots on this board with your threads

It started spiraling downward when some dick named Vermillion would post multiple threads about Bama’s NCs.

All his fault.

This place is a shining example of free market principles and free speech.

Call it biased but I pride myself in staying objective and while we have retards and a couple trolls on here, it's only a small portion while I think roughly 80 percent of both Florida and Gump posts are pure troll threads and childish banter.
