I’ve loved this team since the mid 80s as a young girl when family would go to the orange bowl but so much of the fan base can ruin the fun. It’s more pronounced when there are struggles. On this board, from insider/ecred fights to the typical nonsense, it’s a shame, but also telling when one of the top posters now is
@flagator86.
That got me thinking about an additional feature we should try to add: the message board portal. If Mario can help flip the roster with it, why can’t we go get/find good posters from other message boards and help flip the board? Bannings are not enough and as much as we all laugh at the blue lot bros, it can be a deterrent for posting.
And for potentially new cane board posters they don’t have to come from just cane boards, either. Any fan base with reasonable opinions who isn’t a complete

or jealous of someone else’s insider connections who can bring substance to the board would be beneficial.
If the board becomes 40%canes/10%gators/10% aggies/5% Akron zips/and some remaining combo of other schoolsor whatever but the overall quality improves then so be it.
How the message board portal would work:
1. Feasibility assessment: Generally speaking, the maudes can reach out to other boards from other teams to gauge interest. We can’t be the only board to have this issue. 247 boards, private boards, whatever.
2. A central portal could be designed with the poster of interest (if IP-based that would be better) that could somehow standardize their last board of origin and posting history in the given board. For unhappy posters, they could put themselves into the portal and throw interest out to other boards linked to the portal.
If the UGA bulldog board maudes show interest or there is mutual interest in one of our frustrated ecred insiders then best wishes to them. Conversely, there could be good poster from another board or team is fed up with shenanigans or general intellectual incest, then they could put themselves into the portal and
@RVACane could go roto rooter on them to assess how well or what they can contribute.
If
@KrazyCane is frustrated he can’t become a Maude on this board then maybe he can put his name in the portal and the FIU board will let him lead it. Same goes for all the posters who are blatantly jealous of
@Liberty City El. Let them go elsewhere and get their ego rushes. Everybody wins.
The possibilities are endless.
Any new poster not from the portal would have to go through a rigorous process of verification, otherwise, on here.
3. If this magically worked or was implemented then the Bama board would probably dominate the poster portal. We’d probably have a few posters enter the portal immediately and beg the Bama boards for inclusion (or so they can feel less challenged there as the requisite south Florida insider base there).
4. Probably a large majority of posters would be left in the portal, anyways
