a busy forum brings more eyes, more eyes is more opportunities for getting people to subscribe.
In the immortal words of Mike Woodson, "well, again," those boards are far from a "ghost town" now, but those that are using the free boards now are not subscribing, just responding as to how "important" the free side is to gaining subs. So, that argument carries no water.
Just because you fail to understand the point doesn't mean it carries no water.
Each time I was a member it was because I was here on the free board.
Whatever is on the free site I don't pay for so I don't care.
I get that this is important, but you aren’t coming across very well, imo. You seem a bit emotional and unprofessional. I guess desperate times and all. I hope this all works out for you. Sincerely.
It's his financial ass on the line. Easy to sit back and take pot shots when you have no skin in the game.
Yes. It’s a really dumb radical position. Everybody is getting squeezed by the trash economy and coming on to the free board an acting entitled to their $10 a month is not a good look, when their are MANY other outlets covering the same stuff for free.
Sorry, I can't even read through your post. You addressed nothing in my post - you just go on a tirade.
Makes sense
Nah. I’ll just post on this free site. Thanks. Usually is the dems trying to tell me what to do. Disappointing DANC. I’m a proud freeloader here.
So I get it, this is a site intended to make the people running it money. If Mr. Coyle feels the free boards are not worth the squeeze or are too much of a headache then he is obviously fully within his rights to shut them down to try and convince people to subscribe so they can make money. As an inveterate freeloader, I would probably move on from a site that I started following when it was Peegs.com and not a part of Rivals at all. With that, I would miss some of the online friends and frenemies made over the past 20 some odd years I have been visiting the site.
Aren't you the PU scrub who just posted this the other day?
You don’t want to pay to get recruiting news 10 minutes before everyone else? Hell a lot of top recruits make a huge deal of their decisions and stream it anyway.
Funny that you never hear any more about athletes being disciplined for grades.
Woodson’s feelings would get hurt..
Well, I'm a free marketer, so.....
Then the owner should choose his words more carefully. He could have conveyed his message with a different tone. He chose what he chose, and some of the responses reflected that tone.
Refresh my memory, when did PEEGS leave? Pretty sure it was after I joined in 2012 and was on the paid board. I think I stopped paying a couple years ago or so. This site really does not provide any exclusive “news” that I am unable to find anywhere else’s and same can be said for any other site. What it is to me is a community and some interesting details are found out from other posters. It’s a pure entertainment play.
Not that I thought you would even address this since it had to be posted on the boards of the great unwashed...But, I do now have the premium things paid for. I paid to get my access to the Rivals main board back because that is where you can get great info, humor and well TRUE news of the world. The $$$ you get well, it doesn't quite get anything very premium. What Peegs and many others have hit on in the past is that it is the people on the forums that make it great. The guys with inside information that don't get paid to post it. The folks on here that when they post, well people tend to listen and follow. I Live in Florida now, I used to live in Indy, and Bloomington. I don't get much info now because of proximity, but occasionally I get something good and juicy...
That's like you posting something on a site - let's say Facebook - and stating your opinion, then having someone post that they don't like what you posted or how you posted it.
I thought the OPs tone was odd as well, given he is trying to sell subscriptions. I'm sure the feedback overall was insightful to him. Bottom line if it gets the desired results that's all that counts.
Prolly the best coverage I have seen. Along with a few very well deserved distractions
