I think the major reason there’s been a culling of sorts is because this is a very small, tightknit community. It’s not a transient community like a 247 or On3. That’s where people come and pay for a year and then leave.

The people who are on this forum have literally been with the old GSMB & here for 20+ years. Some people have probably died and we didn’t know it. But more than likely, a lot of people just slowly move on to different parts of their lives, and spend less and less time on the board.

This is not the type of board that actively recruits subscribers. There’s virtually no marketing presence at all. It’s all word-of-mouth. It’s just never going to grow like the other boards. This board could be around another 30 years and 90% of the people will have died off.

I’d be willing to bet that the retention of this board is significantly higher than any other board.

And with its core members the retention on this board is easily 90+ percent.

The other boards? Probably 10-15+ percent.

Most of those other board members probably have never met, and never will. A lot of people on this board have met each other.

This board is a lot like a family IMO.
Griswold family maybe

Gators Reddit definitely dying as pumpers take over the place and drown out anyone with a sense of reality who tries to ground the conversation a bit. Every Gator forum tends toward pumperdom over time and then tends to flatline. Fact is, you can’t be a rational person and read **** like “Mertz is going to be a great QB in Billy’s system” and not make comments that will be offensive to pumpers. So after a while it’s like “why bother posting, let the pumpers pump each other if that’s what they like.” And you see the result is delusional, boring threads about how vastly Napier has improved the talent level with rejects from Kentucky.
This got 3 likes? :crazy:

The flip side, where everyone is miserable and blasts EVERY GODDAMN THING the program does out of the water, isn't much better.

Every now and then, OX cuts right to the very crux of the discussion! This is such a statement.........

There should and needs to be some joy in life. Too many here come across as miserable, child molesters or wife beaters!

Maybe Donk was a nattering nabob of negativity, but it was fun imagining him filling in for Steve Russell after a loss to Vandy.

This board lost a lot of traffic when it turned into a Swamp Gas replica. I originally came here from there because of the non-stop pumping. Ox won't let you criticize the offense or the poor tackling or the poor coaching without a message in return about how you're a Fagg*t and you don't know anything about football if you are not behind Napier.

Then bugger off. You've never contributed either a donation nor a post worth a crap in the time you've been here.
