It might be time to allow folks to read your forum without having to login. Just a thought.

I completely agree. This board couldn't be much more dead than it has been. I don't see why administrators need to be such control freaks. USD advocates certainly shouldn't be limiting the amount of interest allowed to be shown towards it. Ya take the good with the bad with everything but when it comes down to it if it has to be negative attention combined with positive attention that is still better than no attention.

Lots of boards out there that have almost ZERO traffic because folks are not allowed to view. If folks can view, people will want to sign up to post. Just sayin. Mods, please let me know, or better yet POST IT HERE. |

There is nothing on recruits on 2012 schedule, on possible lineups for next year, on workouts, strength training , speed of players, we are going into a difficult league and we don't have any pr for future players to rd even look at. We need to promote our team so players want to be here and pride is developed for the team. Get someone writing articles on recruits, offense, defense, players asap.

Go ahead and have it then mainestreet. Start a thread on whatever topic you like. If you scrolled through the board at all you would see there is an extensive thread on future schedules. There is one on recruits. I know I read one on what we have coming back next year. I just read a post the other day about our new coaching lineup. Instead of stopping at one post go ahead and give us some insight.
There is a handful of us that have been carrying this board for years. I don't have time everyday to come here and post new items, not to mention it is the off-season and kind of a dead period.
Grizfan, the reason the board is locked down is because of spammers. The board software does not allow for just browsing. It has a "guest" feature that allows anyone to post and it has created havoc at times. Also, once the board was locked down the number of registered users spiked. Is it so hard to just register?

Is there something in my post that says I am the strength Coach or PR director or recruiting coordinator. My comment is simply that in following the team there is not enough info on what is happening to create excitement. It is not about your board. Sorry if you took it that way. I think in D1 you are looking to recruit about 20-25 a year. I have heard about 3 players. The University has a product, the football Coyotes that we all would like to hear more about and I think the PR dept needs to step it up.

The funny thing is the board gained 300 more posters since I changed the board to allow you to register. The reason we changed it was because of spam and too many Guest posters who would say something and run.
We have had more traffic since then. The question is, why aren't the people posting since we have more members? Ask yourself that grizfan and coyotefan.
If you can't come up with a user name and password, well then welcome to the internet.

I can almost gaurantee there would be more overall posts made if the board was open to people to post without registering. I would much rather deal with some extra nonsense than to deal with a half dead board, especially during the winter sports season.

You would rather deal with the trash that certain posters spew forth than type in your user name and password? How difficult of a password did you create? A board of a few reasoned posters is better than wading through some of the cr@p that I have seen elsewhere. I would rather just suspect that South Dakota graduates have better jobs and less free time than schools with numerous posters.  |

The program cannot comment on players they are recruiting, it would be an NCAA violation to do so. USD is not big enough to have a site like Rivals track its recruiting. Our only source for any recruiting information is the Argus, which is less than stellar in their USD coverage although they did have a recruiting article a couple weeks ago, and "boots on the ground" which is what you find here. If I hear something about recruits or anything else and I feel comfortable posting it I will. |

i personally dont go to the argus for recruiting news, or frankly any USD news. I've made my choices clear before.

Sorry. Didn't want to cause problems. I only registered because you are new to the BSC. I don't visit boards that I have to register for. Not something I like to do. I have a couple that I visit, and post, but mostly because I was able to read first. If nothing else, just the football forum. Just a thought. I don't know who owns the board, but if you have questions you could probably hit up Chris (egriz/championshipsubdivison) for questions. |

If you can't come up with a user name and password, well then welcome to the internet. Pretty sure I never said anything about the great thing about a GUEST setting. That is never a good idea. Just a way to view a small portion of the board, football, or whatever so one can get an idea of what to expect here. Again, my apologies if there was a thread about this already. It was just an observation, not wanting to tell you how to run your site. |
