**Potential Changes Coming to The Knight Report Forums**

[Richie O]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about some potential changes coming to the message boards.

There's been some talk from the higher ups about eliminating forums across the network that aren't generating enough posts or views to clear up space.

With that being said, the Women's Basketball forum has relatively low traffic compared to the other boards, so there's been some discussion about potentially merging it with the Men's Basketball forum here to create one Rutgers Basketball board. Nothing is set in stone just yet, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up in case the change happens sooner rather than later.

The goal isn't to take anything away from women's basketball coverage or discussion, but rather I think it would offer a chance to get more eyeballs on the women's program and consolidate things. Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop incase it does end up happening.

Id rather not have womens hoops on the mens board

Should be seperate

The reason that board became dust bunnies was how atrocious the program was under Coqueise but also driven by many former womens hoops fans were disgusted by the cvs situation and abandoned worrying about womens hoops altogether

I think with the move to Redus and better recruiting things will pick up over there again

Fine just put a “W” like an “OT” in front of all posts . There’s no traffic because there is no interest.

 

[RUBlackout]

Give us the option to use those tags that designate WBB or MBB in a post and that would solve it

Beware of corporate beancounters!

Hopefully no move will be made to merge WBB with the MBB board intill the 2026-27 season is completed in order to see if Redus can make the RU WWB program something to talk about and increase the traffic on this board so it will be lecf alone

As for merging with the MBB bosad, that will only cause trouble with those who have little use for the WBB program hijacking threads meant to talk about the team into arguing about the quality if women's basketball because of the insults being posted about women's basketball as an enjoyable sport to watch .

Best to move it, if a move is to be made , to be added to Olympic sports board and rename it other sports

They would have their own thread prefix for women's hoops.

I know what will save On3 a ton of server space, consolidating/eliminating all this damn Ads.

I know we can pay more and have less Ads but really though, the site experience has lessened significantly with the non stop ad ever-presence.

GO RU

Apologies, but I can't control that type of stuff. If you haven't yet, install an ad-blocker on your browser and it helps a bit.

Better option is Football, Basketball and All other RU sports works for me

Women’s basketball has a tiny following and I also don’t want it on this forum but sounds like it’s a done deal

Hard no to this idea.

This makes the most sense

@Knight Shift As a sucker who has wasted more money than I care to reveal on boardwalk games throughout my life, I can't stop laughing at these GIFs!

 

[DC8690]

If you can filter by MBB and WBB then that would be fine to have all BB together

That's what they want, more clicks with all the arguing, which means more money for them.

I like this suggestion. Keep Men's basketball pristine and people that want to talk LadyKnight Hoops can do it on what is currently called the Olympic sports board. You can move wrestling to the "Olympic Sports" board as well.

Clicks don't do anything for us just fyi, we are subscription based.
