DTSB, it appears that the return of Valley Talk has put a dent in the traffic here.

Frankly, I'd like to see this take off as I suspect the end of the year will be more interesting here, especially if Valley teams are doing well.

Perhaps you can use you MOD status to get other Valley boards to link up here? Shockernet, for interest, still has Valley Talk but not this site and still has the old BJC, instead of the new site.

Just food for thought.

It really is unfortunate. So many people can't stand VT or so they say but as soon as it comes back up they flock right back. I deleted it off my favs a long time ago so I would never be tempted to go back. I don't miss that site one bit.

RE: Traffic
I've tried to keep topics going, and post new ones, but I think it looks funny when every topic ends with "Downtown Shocker Brown".

Apparently some VT'ers, at least the ones that pm'd me, seem to think there can be no criticism on here and that everything has to be G rated. I don't think that is so, and arguments and disagreements can lead to expanded knowledge as each side presents its case about the topic at hand. But they can do it without calling out each individual and making it personal.

I still think we will be fine, and will try to get links posted on the other websites. The issue a couple of them had was that the site here also has boards for each team. They seemed to think that I was trying to promote an entirely new board for each team, so they didn't allow the topic to go far. And at the time, I was just an outsider promoting a site I wanted to see successful and wasn't involved at all with the site.

I like what MemphisTigers.org did in linking their site to here, but don't know how that would work as far as overall control and membership. I think it would be cool if every Valley board was in one place and everyone could bounce around and read about them, plus have the valley as a whole place to chat. Just don't see that happening.

RE: Traffic
I sympathize and agree with the other board admin's concerns. I actually denied requests to link to sites from ShockerNet that had a competing forum, including this one. Those other sites are well-established and don't need sites like this one to potentially siphon off activity.

I do think this site would be better served to get rid of the individual team boards. The individual fan boards are already linked in a post on this forum.

DSB, maybe you can start a dialog with the ncaabbs admins and explain the apprehension. Getting the individual MVC board admins "on board" here is vital, IMO.

Actually, I didn't subscribe to BJC. I sent DJA a message asking him to spread the word, but didn't hear back from him. Hopefully they will check out the site and see that the individual boards are completely vacant and relax some, but who knows.

I think we will pick up some people, and others will come back, once season starts and/or VT turns back into the VT of old.

Actually, it wasn't BJC I was referring to. It was the other one notorious for banning dissenters.

I'm assuming you're referring to the one where threads randomly vanish without a trace...

RE: Traffic
I figure this is a good a place as any to make my first post...hopefully there will be more. I'm a little wary that this will turn into a VT before too long. I don't expect people to play nice but I do expect people to be somewhat human...something that VT lacks. I miss the days where you'd get a "too bad about that loss...what happened in the game? did so and so not perform well?" type of post when your team lost a non-con game.

Instead you get, "way to represent the Valley" when your team loses...like we had something to do w/ the loss...and we weren't already pissed about losing so we needed some random fans from other teams to come and pour salt on the wounds and make comments about giving the conference a bad name due to a loss...

So far, everything I've read appears to be cordial enough. It's funny that fans on VT think that CU fans are ducking the board...for the most part, I don't think that is the case...why subject yourself to abuse after a loss? I mean you're pissed off enough already...nobody is gonna be sympathetic over there. The only reason I go there now is to read the Sycamore threads (and some CU threads) and PM old friends. Sad really...
