MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Yeah. I know. I believe the goal is to take that ability away from everyone but staff. We're still going to be settling in here for a little while.

Thoughts and with all respect intended....

There was a great forums on the other side that offered many of us to look in and gather information. When we had questions to ask, we had an opportunity to post those in a legitimate way for the board to offer answers and links to those answers.

What I am hearing is that there will no longer be an opportunity for that unless one subscribes. Why does this have to be?

If there is copyrighted information offered, then leave that to those that subscribe of course. This was the manner of what was previously offered. If there is something that is common knowledge or is from alternative sites, then let it be posted for all to share and enjoy.

Or is that forbidden here? And if so, then that is a shame.

There needs to be a medium discovered somewhere is all I am saying. People need to be able to ask and find answers without having to dole out money to find answers that might be tilted in one way or another.

Mind this, and I hope I'll not be banned for asking a simple question on the new board with new sponsors, but will we be able to see input from Trieu (sp?) or any of the other quality contributors like "Coached by Duffy"? Would we ever be able to ask them questions to inquire more of what they shared, or is that an infamnia now?

Sony, and I don't mean to stir the pot too much AA. I suspect how much the the previous board might have vexed you. But there needs to be something for the layman to find info and be able to ask legitimate questions... and without it becoming the mess that the other side happened to be at times.

Again, with respect....

Arch.

Was the tRCMB-ESPN alliance that nonthreatening?

We didn't have a recruiting service really behind us then. 24/7, Scout, and Rivals are being set up as direct competitors in a niche market while I think most people would agree that ESPN was not.

Appreciatd, but still....

And if I might add something unrelated as an improvement to the new board....

Finding the smilies is a new pain in the arse. Is there a way these can be ordered in the way they were before? And with some highlighted names under them as before so we are sure of what we are posting?

Just a constructive something to offer as a possible improvement instead of having to wander through a page of smilies looking without knowing. There's gotta be a lot of guys out there that are not going to be everyday posters that might like some familiarity with something.

Just saying and thanks for listening.

I wish I could! We have absolutely zilch to do with the site design. All we can do is make suggestions for improvements.

I bet we could ask them. Seeing as the guys who started Rivals are running this place, they've got an idea of what they are doing.

247 doesn't have videos of their #1 rated recruit. I think it is going to be a while before they compare to scout or rivals... that said, I should have waited on subscribing to this site.

Yeah, it might limit some of the junk, but a lot of real news on tDuff and tBres comes from people who aren't even regular posters, let alone donars (i.e. Jalen Schlacter's mom) and I don't like the idea of losing that possibility.

AA Spartan, agree with Archangel regarding recruiting info not being able to be posted unless VIP member. Living here in Atlanta, recently I have tried to provide info regarding links & articles regarding the GA HS Playoff games with Andre Sims. Others in PA have provided info regarding Paul Lang. Do you not want the additional input that was being provided, unless we pay to join?

Neither is this retard abortion...

Cardinal, well said! You got an upvote from me! Congrats on your future Spartan!!!
