Does this board help or hurt UK basketball?

Can you quote some examples of that? I haven’t seen people making that claim. And I haven’t seen the same people supposedly making that claim also going postal.
This sounds like a straw man.
If there are “a lot” of bad situations then it should be easy enough for you to list three.
Thanks for asking. I really don't mind being asked to provide proof. Here is one directed at me:
"Okay Gomer. I can explain this for you. Bright people see you and the other Popettes as stupid and rightfully so. The problem with UK basketball is important and it needs to be salvaged. Every day Mr. Magoo is our coach we fall closer to being irrelevant. This is big business and those of us with a brain are standing up to the idiots in the administration as well as you fans that don’t know your *ss from a hole in the ground. Make sense now ? It will."
Anthony Davis said he came here because he was intrigued by one of my posts. You’re welcome *******.
Show us on the picture where "the board" hurt you.
"It literally happens everywhere." Well.......if everyone is doing it.............everyone is jumping off of buildings.......you gonna jump too.......because everyone is doing it......doesn't make it right.
I don’t see anyway it could help. The Doom Patrol would like you to believe it cannot hurt. That is wishful thinking. Family of players have come to these sites in the past. Seeing their family members bashed and made fun of cannot help. Every fan base has self-centered idiots who don’t care if they hurt the program.
Ah, another good one. Drugs... Fallaciousness is your grand gift. You gotta go with what you got, shoot your shot, Fallacio!
Lol. I'm not the one lying about what someone else posted. Ask a 3rd grader to explain to you how fans on social media (like message boards) have caused issues for UK. You can do that while you're selling drugs outside their school. Maybe enroll for some reading comprehension lessons?
1. Tommy Cook
2. Dustin Williams
3. The Calipari family
4. Jasper Johnson
5. Saul Smith
6. A couple recruits during the Brooks years that didn't sign with us because they thought he was going to be fired, based on what other coaches showed their families from the UK boards.
7. John Higgins
I'm sure others can remember more, but it doesn't matter to anyone that's already committed to an opinion.
It seems like a stretch to say that quote says you're "hurting the program" but I don't want to move the goalposts so okay. Is that the only example? Not trying to be a pain but you said "over and over."
Not familiar with 1 and 2 but come on. Calipari? Jasper Johnson? Those issues made themselves without the fans. Saul Smith was Tubby's shame, keeping Cliff Hawkins on the bench because of "asthma."
Higgins - give me a break, he hates Calipari and that's documented.
The fact that you can't acknowledge the situations that notFromhere listed is testament to the mindset of a small percentage of people on here.....................I think some of it comes because of gambling.......some of it is because, there are keyboard warriors that think because they are typing that there are no limits......just a reflection of society......There was no, "Tubby's shame!", the real shame in that situation was the way that people talked about the coach, his son, his wife and the rest of the family! There are no excuses or reason to disparage a family the way that happened on this board........anyone that excuses it is trash to me!
This board is a non-entity. No one under 30 knows what a forum is. This site has been purged and merged so many times that it has little reach. It’s mostly just long-timers and anon trolls.
If this was 2006, when this board sometimes had 13.000 people online at once, it could possibly have an impact on recruiting. Not a chance today.

Is this message board as bad or worse than a Alabama or Ohio State football board when things are going poorly?
This is the type of thing I am referring to:
"But here’s the real kicker: you fans who clap along like seals at a circus, accepting this garbage product—you’re half the problem!
You’re enabling the slide, turning us into just another mid-tier team that elite programs snicker at and relish dismantling. While you clap back at us when we hold the administration accountable when we critique and demand better!"
Exactly. I knew they couldnt acknowledge anything before i posted it. No reason to address it or them further. When their heads are firmly up their own assets, there's no reasoning with them.
Huge part of it now. Definitely... and has been for quite a few for decades.
