To keep the posters it has and increase the number of members to keep it live?
Being part of the espn old school, it would suck to see everyone just disband.

Increasing traffic is a slippery slope. Go too far, and trolls are back. Would hope the goal is to keep this place troll free rather than hitting a milestone with "traffic."

Being part of the espn old school, it would suck to see everyone just disband. Well, this site is slowly but surely becoming more popular by the day... and that will likely continue as the word gets out and we start to get closer to the season. Many of us started off as members on ESPN Lakers Board at some point in time and we remember the "good days" of the old, simple layout. However, we also witnessed ESPN fumble the ball many, many times over the years, falling victim to one mistake after another. I think that was the toughest part about being on ESPN... the lack of accountability. Nobody ever raised their hand and said, "Okay, this was a mistake... Bad idea." Not once. Instead of addressing concerns, they decided to thumb their nose at members, many of whom tried to warn them of their self-destructive ways. This forum was created with all of that in mind. It was not built in an "hour" like other fly-by-night forums that have popped up recently... It was built with the hopes of providing an alternate forum where current (and former) ESPN members (and Laker fans in general, tbh) could gather at some point in the future. We will keep the forum going strong and expand it little by little with time, sort of like a grassroots campaign... and hopefully, none of us will ever forget the good ol' days of ESPN in the process. *** Steps off Soapbox *** |

Thanks for the feedback Mod. I do understand everyone's concerns. I really like the format of this forum. And I was just thinking long term... That it would be a good thing to eventually expand to constructive posters from other teams.

I think it's simple; just keep talking and keeping it real. Most of us have known each other for years and my opinion is that a bit of controversy always drive conversation.

More people seem to be coming over from ESPN each day.
