NCAA investigation update

[BigTime]

Bigtime is one of the reasons this board took off in the first place. GTFO.


BT got banned? For what?

I was not banned. Just took some time off. I couldn't stand reading or posting on this board due to the mess that our program had become and the fact that many posters on this board were just using it to vent frustrations (justifiably so).

I'm back. And excited about the Lon Kruger era.

Back on topic,

I'm thinking the whole Rotnei situation is hinging on the NCAA ruling. Hopefully he will wait a week or two until we get the official ruling.

I like all y'all. I have no enemies here. One love.

I'm not under any mistaken impression.

Apparently you were. You said nothing above comparing this board to the old board, only that this board had gone downhill. Had you grasped that the two boards were separate entities, you surely would have worded your many complaints about this board differently.

But whatever -- glad you're clear on it now.

As for the opposing fans who post here, they sometimes deserve the grief they receive here, and sometimes they don't. But opposing fans are given much more leeway -- and generally treated much better -- here than on any other board devoted to a particular team that I've ever come across.

I agree that graces account was hacked. Went from a good poster to this garbage

This is a great forum and I think that this quote sums up one of the reasons quite nicely.

OU is easily a Top 20 basketball program of all time and IMHO remains so today...and that isn't just me talking, some nationally respected media organization [oxymoron?] had us as #12. Just so happens that we are also widely considered the #1 football program in the nation of the modern era, which takes a little shine off just how good OU has been and will be in hoops.

At the end of the day this is an OU board and should be treated as such. It isn't and shouldn't be a Big XII circle jerk love fest utopia board. Don't like it? Bye.

They got in the mods heads about stuff and things really changed.

If those people would have gotten into my head about stuff, you would have been banned long ago.

And now you talk about the influx of young posters being "extremely insecure" and causing issues on the board. Well, take a look in the mirror and look at your posts in this thread and who's derailed it.

You're painting yourself as the mature adult, yet you're the one stirring it up in this thread, adding the "LOLs" and smiley face emoticons, pounding your chest about OU cheating and still re-hashing stuff that happened over two years ago.

And that's been the tone of your posts on this particular board on the site for a while now, so it's not surprising that you would get "abused" by other posters as you also mentioned above. I haven't been on many team message boards where someone from another school doesn't take some ribbing from the home schools boards' fans. That's just the way it is and always will be.

As for the comment about the level of discussion on the board being down, I would agree with that. It has deteriorated some as we've grown bigger and added more posters while some have cut down their posting or dropped off. There's no doubt about that.

At the same time, you're also part of that problem. As Soonerbounce13 and skyvue have said above, your posting style has changed as well. You used to be a really good poster, but now you're just bitter because you were asked to ignore another poster two years ago and a lot of posters give you grief because you're a KU fan. But it's the condescending nature of your posts that have led to that. You have to give respect to get respect.

That just happened.

This is hilarious. You seem pretty touchy to shoot off a 12 paragraph response and try to make me look bad. I haven't done anything wrong on this thread other than criticize the board in pretty fair ways, IMO.

I think you should turn the mirror on yourself and consider your comments about people not positng, discussion going downhill, and consider that you're in charge.

As to me having something to do with that is simply preposterous. I post on the NBA board which has had quite a few of the older posters involved and has great discussion about basketball and is pretty enjoyable. I haven't posted consistently on this board in well over a year and almost two. So to claim my posting style hs changed is just making stuff up which you seem ok with doing.

And yes, you along with Big Time and countless new posters were the reason I stopped posting here and won't past this thread.

Oh and sorry I derailed your NCAA Investigation thread!!

Of course I'm touchy. I, along with a lot of other people, have put a lot of hard work and money into this site and I believe it's still very strong despite your assertions.

So I'm obviously not going to sit here and let someone like you take a crap on it without defending it.

I think I've been more than fair with your situation. Obviously, you don't. That's fine. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Now move on and stop crying about the moderator mistreatment or go find another OU board to post on.

Hang in there, grace.

Who is crying? You're accusing me of lowering the discussion? Taking a crap on it? Wow, learn how to take some constructive criticism even from those you don't like. The fact you're acting like this as a moderator of the board says a lot. I'll leave it alone at this point because it's getting ridiculous. Good luck with this board.

I think the fact that I'm responding to you and not copping out and locking this thread after I get the last word in shows that I can take criticism.

If I didn't like you, I would just ban you like all the other thin-skinned moderators on other boards would have by now.

 

[seniorsooner]

Somebody should just quit while they're behind.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Hang in there, grace.

[Sooner23]

Enough. I say it's not too late to turn this thread around....
