This is the kind of thread that shows a trend which has lowered the overall quality of so many of the posts on this message board. I looked over the entirety of the topic so far and found that ~75% of the posts across two pages worth of responses have nothing to do with the actual subject of the post but instead are devoted to more pissing and moaning between so called 'pumpers' and 'dumpers' on topics that are so over-discussed they've become boring and inane.
When that trend starts to permeate every thread to the point it has now it starts to resemble the way the old GSMB forums got to be after they started to deteriorate which is the trend that actually spawned this message board in he first place. The overall trend has frankly made coming here less appealing. I'm starting to think it is an issue with a segment of our so called "fans" as much as it is a message board issue. Either way it sure would be nice if folks would take their "you suck" "no, you suck" conversations to The Lounge or some other locale once it has reached the point where it is clear the participants in those "sub-topics" have nothing of interest to contribute to the actual subject of the original topic.
I don't think I'm alone in saying I am getting very tired of the decreasing signal/noise ratio of the overall posting content of this message board as a whole. I also don't think I'm alone in saying that I am sick to death of the level of vitriol being spouted so regularly by a prolific set of so called "fans" whose overly negative and antagonistic attitudes can tarnish even the most upbeat topic about almost any aspect of the university and/or its teams which we supposedly all support.
It is really quite off putting.
