    Yeah, I guess we're probably just on different pages regarding that. . . I view this site as a place to get updates on recruiting, etc. Not really interested in much other stuff than what Chris and Jeff provide. . . The feature stories and the old newspaper mentality, which is clearly fading away, just isn't the reason I come here. . .

    Well we all have different reasons.

    And I hope that we're able to more aptly use the premium/non-premium markers on message board threads for those of you that come here for that. I'm trying very hard to steer this thing back on topic. peace

    I could see where that might be a bit frustrating in a thread that wasn't already VIP, but that has to be a tiny percentage of the posts here.

    We appreciate all our supporters, paying and otherwise. We want it to be a good place for all.

    Starting back in the days of wildcatfaithful and Big Blue Nation, there were expenses that many did not know existed. The more hits you got, the bigger server you needed to run the site and keep it from crashing. I am actually amazed today that any sites are free because of the expenses they incur and the time their folks put in on here. Advertising is tough and even with the basketball CATS during well the last 3 years, its a tough business getting people to drop money on ads. I tip my hat to you that you still make it work for us non payers.

  • I'll be honest... I'm not sold on this merger (thus far). I still think WL and RR (as sport specific boards) are a better way to go. Not that it's a big deal... I just think HOB moves much too quickly now. The threads disappear to another page much faster... so I always feel like I'm missing something (even when I'm not) haha . Maybe I'm just getting too old, to keep up with this kind of speed panic . I'm sure I'll get use to it at some point... I'm trying like hell anyway.

    This site may not have the most popular format, the best features or the busiest traffic on the web... but you can always bet on one thing for sure...what we DO HAVE (over all others) ... is the "Latest and Greatest" of all UK sports and recruiting news... thanks to a staff of writers and reporters, who are second to none... (the mods as well). I'll take that kind of "Quality" over "Quantity" any day.

    cheers
