We do apologize for the robustness but we at ESPN try and uphold a brand that brings the absolute best coverage and breaking news from our staff for our fans.

Robustness was just 50% of the problem, the other 50% (according to new members here) was the multiple accounts and incessant trolling (everybody was Dixie at the end you know...) :laugh3:

So long as it serves your financial interests...

Dear sir, could we hold off on any more statements for now? This isn't helping.

Wouldn't it be a Sub-Sub Forum?

The College Football Forum is already a Sub Forum.

The Robustness attempt was fine. Completely ignoring the customer feedback about the issues with using a comment system as a forum was a mistake. Tying it Facebook was another mistake. I don't know if having a forum was seen as necessary but the way it was killed was easily predicted.

I hear the new subforum is going to have a committee of mods(one being female) that will have no ties to posting and will decide by vote what threads will be considered top threads and the criteria for choosing the top threads will be an ever changing thing, might be best thread schedule, might be worst thread loss, could even be the best thread victory.

At any rate Slive has gone on record as boasting the SEC threads are by far and away the best and should be considered no matter the criteria.

There is no such thing as breaking news anymore...everybody has an Internet connection and everybody blabs on Twitter...so it's known before it becomes news.

Looks like we've been having fun with this.... This is most likely going to be a major letdown once its created in comparison to the other things I'm reading right now but I'm willing to bet those threads end up there once it's created.

You sure are taking this rather calmly after being one of the first to help get SportsHoopla off the ground...I smell a rat!

The only thing thats happening is that we are creating a subforum to move the troll threads to and let people go at it in there to clean the main board up.

Isn't that what the penalty box is for?

The PB was created before we had this much traffic and most of the action was in the cooler. Now we have plenty of traffic here. Consider it more of a PB for only CFB related stuff.

This kind of concerns me. Does this mean mods will be more tolerant of trollish behavior? Main reason I started posting here was that crap was frowned upon and posters who did it were quickly removed.

less tolerant on the main board. Same to more in the subforum.

more tolerant in that new crap forum. then that means less tolerant on the main CFB board.

Think of it as a CFB kiddie pool.
