Calamity_Cometh Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I had been lurking for a long time prior to the move here and it kinda sucks to see some of those team forums fade away and no new faces to replace the old ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Tier 4 🥳 Lions might not have a big fan base on here anymore, but we have a good one! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Feels like forums are a dying breed as a discussion platform. Shame, I’ve loved forums since the mid-00s - but it seems to me that social media is largely taking over. Still, don’t just mourn lost posters from before - appreciate the ones who are here now. Ten years from now, many of the usernames you currently see won’t be around… and the only threads left to browse might be the ones in your memory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyL. Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 sad how quiet most of the forums are, but I'm a part of the problem. My last log in prior to last week was like 3 years ago. I lurk a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, I’ve loved forums since the mid-00s - but it seems to me that social media is largely taking over. Bingo - plus side is that you as a consumer get to interact with more people on SM than you would with a message forum. Minus side is that the engagement is usually fleeting, you really don't build the same rapport you would with others with differing opinions - I can get into a heated debate with someone and never see them again outside of that particular topic, that's not as easy here. An additional minus is that the ecosystem that SM presents means your experience is more homogenized to your preferences; The algorithms that curate your experience will specifically tailor to your likes and/or your interests. Message boards such as this present information a la carte; If I wanted to engage with other fans or other interests outside of my circle, I just have to find a sub and click. All in all, message boards like this are like the fullback or the off-ball LB who can only play the run. If you have one that you use frequently, it serves its purpose. If you don't have one.... you really don't need one, you can still get the job done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So SM is like the "mobile QB" - super dominant in its heyday but also super fleeting and prone to being replaced by the next flashy thing at a moment's notice...

Sports discussions on social media are poison, so I mostly come here for my sports fix. There are a few crybabies here and there, but this site is pretty easily my favorite to discuss and learn about football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten years from now, many of the usernames you currently see won’t be around… and the only threads left to browse might be the ones in your memory. I said this in another place where this discussion was going. Reddit is great for combining a bunch of communities together. But forums were still thriving from 2012-2014 when Reddit was becoming popular. What killed it was social media, as well as other places for communities to gather- first it was GroupMe, and now it’s Discord. In all three of those places, you can have instant engagement with anyone around the world. And in Facebook, you can be a part of different groups, very similar to Reddit. Forums are dying, but you can still have active ones. This is one of the most active sports forums around still, especially after the loss of PSD. It would be awesome if some folks would look at this tier list, and try to generate some activity into the ones low on the list to try and bring some more eyes to those forums. Also, it would help as a whole if people would make more threads. This is always the potential for new people to find our site and register, but if they don’t see a topic about something they care about, they aren’t going to bother posting. For example, in the Commanders forum, someone posted in one of our general threads that Terry McLauren was frustrated about his lack of targets. I broke that discussion topic out into its own thread, because someone lurking would be able to find it easily. I mean, you google “NFL Message Board” and we are at the top. That helps, but we also have to make it easier for the non-message board generation to find their way over here and be a part of the community. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On social media, you can get in a flame war with someone and never see them ever again. On Reddit (which I guess is technically a massive forum) I'll argue with someone but never remember their username for the most part - so the people I see may as well be complete strangers every day. There's more of a community feel on forums like this; someone can call you an idiot and you'll spend four years waiting for your chance to point out an error they make and call them the idiot... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing I loathe more than dedicated sports accounts on SM whose usernames are something like 'Pickensburgh SZN (7-7) 😤' and reply nothing but 'ratio Mincah better' on every post by a team/media account.

That and "cope." When did coping become a bad thing? Do people not know what that word means? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
