I wanted to respond to this. For some people, a pumper-only board is what they would like to be a part of, and there's nothing wrong with that. There are other boards that suppress negativism of the program. While I hate to lose anyone, I would encourage them to try those boards. The entire point of these boards is to enjoy yourself, and if you hate the tone here there's no reason to visit.Ox, you did right by me starting the new board when the GSMB took a crap. You filled a void that needed to be filled and gave us a place to go. That was and is appreciated. The leaps and bounds that this board has improved technology wise has been noticed and is also greatly appreciated. If you ever have a sub-forum for Pumpers only, and no dumping is allowed, let me know...
Here is the PM from the person that is leaving in response to me. I'm only posting this so others can see his view of things:
***************************************
"I'll put my mindset this way. Lets say you go to a movie at Theater A once a week with your wife and kid. Dinner, movie, popcorn, etc, for 3. Lets say that during that 2 hour movie, every week, every ten minutes, a guy behind you yelled at the screen "The Director sucks! You suck (to the actor on screen)". You tried to tell the dude to be quiet, but he called you a turd in front of your family. Since you can't physically beat him down because he's 4 rows back, you went and spoke to a manager. Then, the manager did nothing every time. How many weeks would it take you to just go somewhere else?
I do not agree that a lot of Gator fans have tuned out and stopped giving a damn. I think they are the ones that know that there will be good times and there will be bad times, and choose not to spend their time pissing and moaning about the bad times. I think they have tuned out those people (message boards) that act like the team is supposed to provide the fans 10 wins and top five recruiting classes. They have tuned out those people who ***** and moan and piss on the Gators because those people sound like Seminole fans. Instead, they are talking to their other optimistic friends and staying away from the dumpers. I would bet money that most of the so called fans that are crapping on the program, team, and coach don't put effort into supporting the team other then by watching or voicing their opinion. To me, its ok to have criticism, but to continually dump on the program and call the coach "Butters" or some stupid name while saying you are a fan? Sure, they have the right to, but it doesn't make it ok. It makes em jerks. When the dumpers (jerks) overtake the pumpers, its time for me to hit the road. Ignore just doesn't do enough to keep you from seeing the poo on the walls.

Well this seems uncalled forSo who else is disappointed it's not Fishon?
Agreed about the poor analogy. The parallel to asking Ox to delete his account would be asking the theater manager to no longer allow him inside the theater. over the top and absurd solutionHis movie theater analogy is terrible and in no way applicable to this situation.
A sub-forum for pumpers only would be truly great entertainment though. I envision all the members of that sub-forum wearing vagina hats.

Since this forum started I have had 3 or 4 members ask me to delete their accounts. I usually refuse to do so. In one case recently, a member asked me to ban him so he wasn't tempted to post. I went ahead and did it, and told him to email me if he wanted the ban lifted in the future.

Are you counting alias accounts?.....So far, 65 different members have commented in this thread. That's pretty good, but we need more.

Movie theaters are places where you show up in groups and are supposed to not speak, at all. Web forums are places you are supposed to talk, that's literally the only thing you do. Maybe his problem is his perspective is completely wrong.
