It is increasingly apparent that as Scout is liquidated from bankruptcy to CBS/247 that several publishers will not be carried over. Read: If you're not a huge program, buh bye. In particular if you are a Scout board that isn't related to a major publisher ... your forums are on life support with just a few weeks remaining IMHO. And even if you are saved, the forums will be still be silos on a per team basis and be some minimal vanilla half baked stuff for the foreseeable future.

What can CSN do for you?
- *THE* place on the internet for conference wide discussion forums
- *THE* place on the internet for realignment discussion
- The primary message board for roughly a dozen teams
- A place where emphasis is placed first and foremost on forum features, functionality, community, and interacting with fans from all over the country.
- No annoying clickbait, freemium baiting, pop ups, pop unders, interstitials, and/or ad block captive portals
- FREE

I am in the process of coding my own message board software that will satisfy the needs of our site for the foreseeable future. This will ensure the site is fast, mobile friendly WITHOUT the need for an app, and full of powerful features to make moderating easy and life difficult for repeat troll offenders. The look and feel of the site will still be identical, save for a new mobile app-less experience.

I can put interested people in touch with several third party people who have moved into CSN, including publishers who maintain their own content sites and simply use us for the message board to go with it. If you're looking for the full one stop shop with a publishing platform for news/oped ... we can do that too ... but we're still probably 18-24 months away from that. So hop on in. The waters fine. And here you won't be table scraps or an afterthought. We can setup the same moderation teams you had previously, and work with you in other words to make the transition as easy as possible.

Those considering or wanting to move into CSN I'd love to sit down and have a little chat. If you aren't registered on this site, you can reach me via email at support (at) csnnation (dot) com. Please help spread the word of this offer far and wide to the publishers/moderators throughout Scout. Because there's no way I'm registering at each and every one of their boards just to send one PM.

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN.

SO LET IT BE DONE.

ETC. ETC. ETC.

GTS is great and CSN is great. you will love this place.

Anyone able to see about bringing some Big Ten fans over? I don't have an account and don't care to start one, CSN is the only place for me (besides reddit).

Better strike quick on the Purdue fans. When they find out what they got in Bobinski they'll HATE all Georgia Tech fans.

I got both of them in my blood and was kind of wondering about that myself. Hiring an ND grad.

CSN is a fantastic site/community and been a great home for us for over 10 years now (its been that long?)

The big thing about CSNBBS is that you can express your opinion without personal attacks and random insults about your school. I'm not saying you won't be told you are wrong. Bring your big-boy pants because they won't hesitate to tell you so. However, those same people will also admit you are right if they think so.

YOUR BOARDS AND MEMBERS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR OWN

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Welcome!

Ad-free Premium is worth the money

...you obviously have never been to The Perch (Southern Miss board)....man oh man, sometimes it's a knock down drag out, no holds barred, rock em sock em throw down....and our motto is..."never admit you are wrong, never apologize.....you make your statement and move on".

GTS = Message Board God

Pretty good thing going over here.

There's definitely some schools that get random insults.

I came here 5 years ago because it was the only place where issues concerning all of our conferences could be discussed among fans of all of those conferences. The main board has been an interesting, entertaining, informative, and occasionally an infuriating place to hang out. But it usually has something going on.

No room over here! lol

Yup. It's lively here. Fast, well designed, easy to read and to participate.

To any boards thinking of migrating, the JMU faithful can certainly vouch. We had our previous CAA board which fell into disrepair a few years ago (in what sounds like a pretty equitable situation), and CSN was quick to get us set up and humming like we never missed a conference realignment rumor beat. Small schools won't find a better destination- sturdy dependable board with excellent care and upkeep by GTS. Do it.
