Re: School Specific Message Boards
We have a pretty good one. I have lurked on it for years, but since someone there has the alias that I use here, I have never registered there. There are a few buttheads on it, but mostly good talk. Lot's of good inside info sometimes. Privately run. I have never paid for access to any site since I went on-line in 1993, nor will I ever pay for access to any site. But I do donate here by choice.

I don't know if larger FBS schools just don't have the intimate communities that smaller schools do. Our fans do a great job of discussing pretty much all the sports ACU has and we can usually keep each other more informed through our board than the school's athletic website. We also offer other discussions as well; just like here.

I've participated in a couple of conversations on your forum in the past. Everybody was respectful and well-informed. Keep it up.

I've never asked for a dime from the visitors to HoyaSaxa.com and the HoyaTalk boards and have no intention to do so, but others see such "affiliated" sites as a revenue producing operation.
Others start their own business out of it. Tech Sideline.com (the former "Hokie Central") started about the same time I did and went into a JV with Virginia's TheSabre.com. They host a platform for six other sites.
DFW, I'm curious of your opinion on the layout of message boards like The Sabre. I never understood the appeal of a string of one sentence responses. There is never any in depth discussion on any points or topic. I'm sure there must be reason but I just don't see it. Maybe I'm missing something though.
