There's something kinda weird and cool about getting into it with someone on a message board, almost like those ballyard brawls you had as a kid. In spite of the animosity, you usually end up being good friends. It's as if you had to test each to the max to see how each other would react and now you can relax and enjoy each other's company.

Its not you, its me. I haven't been visiting here the last several months and don't see myself coming back. I have thick skin. I grew up with five older brothers and sisters. But enough is enough. Really, it boils down to the fact that I can't stand Gator fans talking so much crap about our teams and especially coaches. The vibe around here makes it feel like a Warchant sub-forum titled "Gator Hate". If I wanted to read all this negative crap I'd go read Warchant or Volnation. I don't. So, its been a good ride. Good luck to continued growth on your website.

He's not wrong.

I understand not coming around to read the board, but I honestly don't get the need to request that your account be deleted. As someone pointed out earlier, this is someone who desperately needs attention

Ox, I actually joined this page because of the mixed opinions. Sometimes the negativity makes me feel like im not alone. I think we all just want what we expect from Gator sports. Sometimes the truth hurts and its depressing but the guys with knowledge leads us all back to the same point, expect the best. I am so sick of Bama being the only SEC team worth media credibility. Florida needs to reclaim what belongs to them. Now some can talk sh&t thats fine. I am a LOOONG TIMER gator fan and I know what the GREAT SOS has lead us to expect.....

Anyone who thinks that they can't handle the heat and wants to leave should talk to Crete. Noones got anything on him, he got sodomized for at least a full year here by basically everyone, and yet he's still here and now one of the board favs.

:britney:

This is the best board out there in my opinion! Everyone is allowed to vent and share their opinion without getting banned and that's not possible on any other board. #ChompChomp

It's not that people are unhappy with the state of affairs at UF. It's that they have to bash the program, coaches, players, AD, facilities and everything else in every single sentence. Always. There are times when you couldn't tell the difference between these Gator fans and Mike Winter. If anyone dares to disagree they try to silence them with personal attacks.

I can see how some might choose to avoid that type of conversation.

Having said that, I like the board just fine the way it is. I enjoy discussing things with those who don't agree. If everyone saw things the same way I do then things would get boring fast. I simply ignore the personal attacks. There's nothing you can do about other people's insecurities so there's no reason to let them bring their misery into your life.

T-Rex and I rarely ever agree about anything. He constantly resorts to personal attacks on me. I still enjoy conversing with him.

This board isn't for everyone, but you're never going to make everyone happy. If you can just get the newbies to interact and tough it out for a month or two it will grow on them.

I'd rather be unhappy with someone expressing their view than have censorship.
Did you leave me out of your post because you're worried about me schooling your ass again?

If you honestly believe that I'm not sure why you're here posting every day. To claim this is Warchant or VolNation is ludicrous.
You asked for feedback. You also lamented that membership hasn't increased as much as you like. Maybe you should listen. :whistle:

:lol: trust me...I wouldn't post anything like that just for the hell of it. At the time that's what was out there and I apologize to everyone for it falling through!
I do hold you personally responsible, but I accept your apology :clap:
