or is this just part of the normal ebb and flow of posts this time of year with no football to talk about? I don't retain useless information long enough to keep track. Seems like the same old stale posts just linger at the top of the page for hours when at one time it seemed like everytime I got on here there was something new to read. I usually check the board about 6 or 7 times during the course of a day. The last several months (or longer) it's been this way. There is hardly anyone on the list at the bottom like there used to be and don't say the quality of the posts have improved...true enough, more start out with potential now but end up being pissing matchs between 2 or 3 posters who keep up way too much with what the other has posted.

So what gives? was it the purge? the new corporate sponsors? normal for this time of year?

Pretty much.</p>Basketball has ended. Football's not here yet. There's not much to talk about with the baseball team, unless everyone feels like debating who the new coach will be for the 500th time. Things will pick back up.

has hurt. People aren't used to it and I will agree it has more issues than ezboard. Also, baseball was at least going to go to a regional during most springs but not this year. There just isn't much to talk about - baseball is not very good, a lull in the coaching hire, etc. I think once summer gets here and we can look forward to football (scary to say), things will pick back up. During the NCAA basketball tourney, things were normal with over 400-500 posts/day and that was when we were on Yuku.

Also, Yuku is blocked at a lot of workplaces. It was first tagged in addition to it being a message board system - as a social networking site like myspace, facebook, etc. This has been changed but for some, once it's blocked, it's up to the network admins to unblock it.

...when the coaching search does, which is the only thing of any consequence left to do with baseball season, and you can only have so much discussion about that when we're probably at least 4-6 weeks from really getting into speculation. There's just no baseball to pay attention to. Basketball has just ended, and it's too early to talk football.

Can we just start making fun of other less fortunate schools? Like say....... Memphis or Southern Miss?

so my participation has pretty much gone to reading it when I get home from work. I really haven't had much to add lately so I just read some of the more interesting posts (very few of them these days).

I'm almost always dieting.

Yeah, its slow now. One other sorta-problem is that yuku loves stale cache. Half the time I visit, the page that comes up is days old unless I explicitly click refresh.

Seriously, is MSU sports really interesting enough to discuss 365 days a year? Not really. Everyone needs a break.

Starting late summer i watch NFL live and every other NFL show i can until the super bowl. After that, I only watch once a week or so.

Its unhealthy to focus all your energy towards one interest. especially if that interest is MSU.

I like the new format ok btw..

</p>That's fo real. And it's not that AOTD was taken away, it was the way it was done. Some blowhard from a century ago who found out he had some power in cyberspace took it upon himself to start kicking people off for **** that he deemed unworthy. I thought this board was started in the first place because of that sort of action taken over at the lake. The same mentality started happening here. If your opinions are unliked by the high and mighty then you are out. Don't ban my *** for speaking out about it either. If you are such a bad ***, just take my remarks like a man and put me in my place, but don't ban me oh great and glorious HD. You are part of what is ruining this board with your arbitrary rules and vague inside jokes. If you didn't want a public forum where people get to voice their opinions then you should have blocked membership and just allowed your tight little group of friends to sit around and rag MSU sports and have your little inside jokes that noone gets and can't be that funny in the first place. I am not asking to be banned. I am asking for you to lighten up and let people have a little fun around here. ****.

You say this...

And then this...
Why do Ole Miss fans come over here and ***** about smack talk from anyone from State. It is totally asinine.

'fo real'?!?! damn man, damn.

first off, thanks for getting rid of that creepy *** Stans pic with glowing eyes. ive never thanked you, and its long overdue. unfortunately, you chose to replace creepy Stans with something just as creepy. good job on continuing the creep.

as for the 'AOTD', if you really honestly miss this, you are one of the saddest guys i have ever had the displeasure of knowing. its a softcore pic of a chick's ***. are you really so hard up for such a pic that you would complain on a SPORTS MESSAGE BOARD for more ***? google.com. there are literally tens of millions of pictures of women's asses at your disposal. pictures of asses of fat women, thin women, women who look like prepubescent girls, women who look like men, women who used to be men, and dogs too. damn near anything that you like, itll be there.

as for how that HD guy took it away, go cry elsewhere. ITS A SPORTS MESSAGE BOARD. how hard is that to understand? sports. all things sports are discussed here. not ringtones, not prayer requests, and not your child's choir. sports is the name of the game. its a rule that has been listed for a long time now, so dont be surprised when its actually enforced. and when it isnt enforced, dont be surprised at that either, since that too is a rule.
see the humor in it all?...im sure you dont actually.

this place is nothing like Gene's Page. my gosh man, you are allowed to say anything here as long as you can back it up even a little bit. it doesnt matter what your opinion is, you wont get banned for having it. that right there is NOTHING like Gene's Page.
contrary to what you say, posters can voice their opinion all they want and none of the mods will ban you...as long as your opinion is referring to a sports topic.

its their board, they were cool enough to allow everyone else to join in, pay some damn respect and appreciation. you think running a damn message board is simple? have you seen how much DS works on this thing to make it run? you seem like the type of person who could ***** about being in Nirvana. </p>

I never said one thing about DS. DS freaking rocks for keeping this place running. My beef is with HD and his power-trip. If you go to other sports boards there are mostly people talking about sports, but they are also discussing other things. If people wanna talk about that subject then they can click the little link that takes them in there or not. I honestly don't really give a damn about AOTD it is just the most glaring example I can come up with with how much of a turn this forum has taken. When you're at a football game or basketball game do you avert your eyes from the girl dancers and cheerleaders because you can find pictures of them on the internet?? No, T and A has always been synonymous with sports and it was just kind of a fun little aversion here on the 6pck that most heterosexual men did not mind peeking at. Does HD stand around the 6pack tailgate and make sure that everyone is JUST talking about sports and that no fine women are present? That would be real fun.

I apologize to DS if this pisses him off.

AOTD was just that little bit of a break to have some fun conversation with! What is wrong with a little AOTD on a sports board. What is the difference in that and a thread about the chick that does ESPN sideline games? MSUGLFR must be gay.</p>
