I will admit I love this board I always have and continue to.

Me too man. Me too. Them and Reb. The site they went to is just too choppy. We were spoiled on HSN. 247 blew. This was a nice site. Upkeep on this site slips, but it is very hard to stay on top of a growing site. 41 is a busy dude and has built a nice site. Most of the fun comes from the mod boards and those three dude were awesome over the years.

HSN was amazing

BtownBanners is even better. For real.

Agreed man. This isn't a bad site. Different feel for sure with how things aren't moderated. Different strokes for different folks. If discussion goes beyond the court for players and coaches bothers you, this place will probably suck for you. I think that aspect is what bothers me most about this setup. Hopefully with the new staff we move beyond those things. If not it is what it is.

I'm going to stick up for the Mods here. Personal attacks aren't let go. Arguments are given a leash as long as civil. You are going to see positivity and negativity, whichever fits the current culture of the program.

Personally I think things are moderated 10x better than they used to be.

Agreed, except that Dalton dude...
I actually get a chuckle out of some of these "arguments."

My only complaint about the app is blank and web view posts. It's the internet and I'm used to having information within seconds not having to go find it. #firstworldproblems

I agree to a degree. Circumstances of the basketball team make a difference. I know you guys see it as black and white and that's cool. But when we were at HSN we were the number 1 team in the country. Board moral is just different versus that and two teams that massively underachieved out of 3 since we got here. Sorry you guys seen what I said as a personal attack. It is what it is. Just so you all know we didn't search out this situation. We were asked to come here with how we modded. When we got here we had less than 20 posters. For as much as some of you ***** about what we did I think we laid an ok foundation. I know it's the cool thing to do Dalton, but how were discussions going before we got here? How many people did you guys talk to. Go back to trashing what was different. Most of you that followed from HSN or 247 thank you. This is why we split off. To get away from the 247 of the world. We wanted a place similar to HSN.

That is where I agree to disagree. More times than not the mod on an individual level now has a longer leash if they agree with said poster. That is where I disagree with some of the new mods, but I expect you to stand up for each other since the majority came in at the same time and never really were a mod before.

I agree 100%. It used to be the mods would instigate and/or increase tensions. Now they keep a good handle on things.

Of course, we'll see what happens come Colts season lol.

This site is great.

Not sure why you went back in and edited all that it. I came after all these splits and I modded with you and the others. I'm one of them few who have witnessed the before and after and it's night and day different. I wasn't being an @$$ but after what you edited in I guess I will be. Let's be honest you all left HSN or whatever it was called and then left here because things were so bad. Fact of the matter is that there is only one common denominator in both of those situations and that was the mod squad. I've went back through numerous pm's between former mods and banned members and honestly it's a shame how many people were banned for basically disagreeing. I was a part of that group too so it falls on me too but let's not play the innocent victim role and pretend like things are so much worse without the old mod team.

Btw I edited to add to it. Also you have no clue about HSN. We were asked to come from Jason. You were not a mod when we first came. We didn't want to be salespeople for a site and discredit what Pap and CCG did. Get your facts straight on that. They didn't want CCG posting scoops before them. Plus the things CCG asked for was not happening. Sorry we tried standing up for all the work CCG did. You have zero clue what you are talking about on that one. As for here, Jaybob and Natty were done. You were about there too so don't play innocent. You followed them too for a very short time. Only difference is I didn't come back here and be a mod. Would you like me to post PM asking to stay on as a mod? It wasn't contentious at all but I love your revisionist history.

I feel like I'm sitting in a Btownbanners history lecture but I didn't do any of the assigned readings. 

What is/was HSN?
