Will never miss "Loading....", and robust was a phone battery hog. ESPNs Mod system was pathetic.

ESPN had the advantage of all it's content available around the forums which made for a more immersive experience for a sports fan.

But I like the performance of this site, how all forums are laid out on the home page, the ability to add a lot more to user profile, and able to post graphics and links.

I enjoyed ESPN before they went to the "Robustness" The trolling was mostly fun and intelligent or you were banned by mods from that particular team's board. I left for many "robust" years and came back just before the shutdown. What it had become was a disgraceful mess. It was good to see the faithful Pats fans (best fans, sorry Hammer) but many have migrated here. I think SportsHoopla is great with a lot of good posters. It seems SportsHoopla is what you get when you learn from other forums mistakes. I'm new here but I think any better ideas would be listened to here, unlike ESPN.
Keep up the good work, SportsHoopla and we'll forget all about that 4 letter word....

I liked ESPN before the CBS shut-down. Most of the CBS Rams fans weren't an improvement on the ESPN Rams board, which became a ghost town because of them. I was late to the General Discussion section. It seemed like harmless fun but with quite a few idiots. I guess what i'm saying is I miss ESPN but I don't miss the idiots.

This board is every bit as active, minus the troll posts. I did like how you could look up stats at BSPN, but this set up here is better in every other way.

I can honestly say that I do not miss it.

The conversations here are not as active, but the quality is better.


Don't miss ESPN at all, posters like yourself and Midgar, Ravens and others made the boards unbearable at tims. Here the MODS seem to take no shit which is good.

I came from CBS and don't miss it a bit. Sometimes a Fuck is needed.

Not a bit. Some of you guys should visit the other areas of the board more often. It's every bit as busy as NFL General at espn, which was the only board over there that was worth a damn. They don't tolerate trolls here either. Some get through but they usually get the boot. The language policy is much more lenient but they don't tolerate the blatant racist or otherwise over-the-top offensive rants that used to crop up there frequently and many of the mods seem to be conservatives. All things considered this place is far superior.

Exactly, there are tons of worthy boards here, and even if the Raider board is no where near as active there is always something of interest with the variety of choices. I like the golf forum, both the general and nfl general, including the lounge, the list goes on, SportsHoopla is great.

SportsHoopla is far better than ESPN, better Mods, less drama

The only thing I miss is the easy of following the flow of posts. It was very easy to see what was posted. Other than that, there is really no comparison.

:agree:

The traffic is much more spread out in here. There are many more sports boards than ESPN. The way they separate in here the religion, science, political, social justice threads is much better.

When games are on and shit is happening, the posts get really short and fast like at Diznay. The off season is all about analysis n such. There'll be several hundred posts per game for the good games.
