Here most frequently, though the pumping of sunshine on a vampire impact of running off of BMF (to Politics threads only) and others have reduced that.
Also read The Athletic (pay site and mostly for national college sports coverage team being very good. The Gator beat writing initially was fantastic and getting stories everyone else was missing. The new guy flat sucks and is Dooley 2.0 of sharing only what is he intentionally fed. He writes articles loosely about whether Mike White should be fired, but takes no stance. Same on other topics.
Recently tried On3 (pay site with very low initial price per year). Will not renew. The message board is so disorganized and every new thought on the same topic becomes a new thread. The organization is a mess with it being very difficult to tell if anything new is posted. The written articles/access are not impressive. Almost any fan attending press conferences and reviewing the roster could prep the same stories.
Analysis - Read and Reaction and some here (again, we'll see how that is in the fall with the voices in the crowd thinned). During season will also check on the Gator Nation Football Podcast.

Why did BMF leave? He was pretty level headed.

It was about the pumperism being mandated following the Napier hire. This is the last of his posts in the Sports Forum over 2 months ago - Recruiting - 2022 Post-ESD Recruiting Thread: 4* DE Jack Pyburn commits
The back and forth preceded during the thread.
He can speak for himself further though, if he desires - @BMF

Oh give me an effing break. All I did was disagree with him. I didn’t mandate anything.

speaking of leaving- where the hell has Musclepug been?
I see him on Twitter but not here.
I blame swonk- who I also now follow on Twitter.
spoiler alert- he’s still a complaining ass, but he’s our complaining ass. Or at least he was.

As others have mentioned, Will Miles at readandreaction is really good. He’s the only one besides ox I’ve given voluntary money to.
As for subscription sites, I tried the Athletic, which I like and renewed for a second year. And on3, a vile band of insufferable whiners, unimaginative vulgarians, and hack reporters with literally one good poster on their jumbled cesspool forum. $10 a year was a ripoff. I won’t be renewing.

I like On3. More than the others. They have really good insiders. I agree that their message board is wonky in organization. But it’s more similar to Gatorchatter in design.
Rivals insiders basically defected there. So their inside info is good.
I don’t think they have mods so their threads are sloppy and disorganized. They should merge many of them.
but no message board is worse than 247. That board is a shythole. The only saving grace is Goldkamp because the other admins are terrible and have no insider info at all. At least for Swamp247. Can’t speak to other team sites.
BUT 247 is much cleaner in presentation than On3 in profiles and player info. I think On3 just started providing player ranking like a month ago. It’s a startup (I think either old Scout or Rivals founder).

I think On3 stole a lot of staff from Rivals. Which is another reason Rivals is getting crappier.
