There was once a time when Oldschool would post relevant thought on football. Not any more. He sticks with satire or whatever the hell it is.
There should be some kind of troll-poster rehab for when trolls run out of ideas.....

Several reasons why boards close down......

They're mostly worried that advertisers will dump them if something is posted that the advertiser doesn't like. CBS, ESPN etc. have to worry about those dollars and certainly don't want differing points of view than theirs'.

Have to give Hoop and Shaggy in particular a lot of credit. They've let everyone of us freely express what we think or believe. They've only stepped in when they think a serious threat or really over the top comment is made.

Everyone, regardless of the side of the fence you sit has to agree............The SportsHoopla is truly a place of "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" and "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION".

LET FREEDOM RING

Many of us on this board are expatriates of other message boards that closed down when the economics didn't work or when they sold the boards to other sites that later shut them down. So yes, the threat is legit and you should be in contact with some members of your community via email or some other social media just in case.

For some of us, this has happened multiple times over the past two decades and we have connected on new boards when it did. Some fans were on KFFL, and before that Mouth Off, Sporting News, etc. But every time, you do lose a fair number of people. Message boards are slowly dying as people use Facebook and Twitter to comment on things, or go to bigger, more diffuse communities such as Reddit.

I seriously doubt it's in trouble of shutting down.

This site isn't tied to any other sports site. I was a member of SI's Fan Nation. They brought in a new head honcho and they decided to turn it into a Fantasy sports site since us commenters didn't help in the way of revenue.

Pretty sure this site requires it since there is advertising that requires clicks and helps get revenue for Shaggy.
