Saving This Forum

[salemjack]

Guys,

I think there is a place for this forum since it allows people to share opinions without their name directly tied to it. Sometimes this allows people to just say downright stupid stuff (see Bisonville), but sometimes it can be a beneficial spot to voice opinions.

Activity has been down tremendously over the past couple of years due to JI’s coverage, which is absolute great, it just shifts the conversations to X and Facebook opposed to here and the SDSU Fans Nation Facebook groups birth and emergence.

I think we need to get this forum to align more with the more active forums I see, like Bisonville or GopherHole. I think we should connect this forum to Jackrabbit Illustrated. A link on their website and maybe even have them tweet out when good debates are going down.

Thoughts?

I approached the JI guys a while ago about them taking over the site, and they demurred at the time.

I agree that the forum here has a lot of untapped potential, but I've also realized that I'm not the person to do that. So if somebody wants to take this thing and run with it, let me know.

As a Facebook and Twitter non-adopter, after having accounts with both but not wanting to deal with what I felt were becoming cesspools, I appreciate having this option and hope it continues

I think you’ve built a great thing here Filbert.

I’m not saying you even need to give it up, just not sure it will survive as a standalone forum. Need to at least connect it with the JI website.

Not sure why JI would be against that…

I'd really like to pass it along ... to the next generation, as it were. The board is basically an SQL database, so some Jackrabbit fan who does databases for fun or profit would be the ideal person. (It doesn't actually require a database person...mainly if you want to move it off of the vBulletin platform).
