So there's No free forum for the Football Fans to talk ? What's the plan going forward ? This is crazy.

That's really sad that they aren't gonna add a separate Football Forum for Free. I don't see any logic behind it.

There's a new excitement in UK football so on3 thought it'd be a good time to make us pay for the forum, or do without. It'll happen the same way with this one, but this isn't the time, not yet.

Apparently we should all bow down to Matt Jones though, as he states On3 does not allow free boards and he negotiated for them to keep this mashup of a board. May be true, but also change sucks. I am sure On3/KSR views us as a fairly large pipeline of potential paid subscribers. Me, no way I pay when other resources (Wildcat Nation, Discord, etc.) exist that could be very good if everyone made the jump. I am part of the problem for staying, I recognize that. The all-in-one board is not too difficult to deal with, just a PITA.

This is now considered the free forum for ALL sports …not just basketball …so football and basketball talk will now be mixed together in a jumbled mess.

I think they’re intentionally trying to sabotage the free options, so that we’ll feel like we have no choice but to switch over to their pay boards.

Matt and I both thought it was important that there be a free board. So for those of you who wanted multiple free boards I apologize. But, at least one is something that was important to retain so we are glad you are here.

9/10 are basketball threads. How hard is it to tell the difference. HOB does both. Atleast they have this

Is it possible to create a tag or filter system for football/basketball?

This board will eventually be eliminated. The hope is you will join the pay subscription service. The HOB was becoming over the top with threads being hijacked, personal attacks, etc which is why i canceled my subscription. It's unfortunate, because there is a plethera of good information on the HOB. I've been checking out a few other free boards. There seems to be much less BS on those boards unlike this board. They also have separate FB and BB boards.

Place is so disorganized, there was more random off topic discussion on the board the other day than any kind of sports talk.... The forum is named rupps rafters (basketball related) but it's a all in one discussion.... At least name the forum general discussion or something just comes across as overall lazy. But don't worry prices are going up 👐 it's literally 0 more work to have a additional forum named for football, and a general I could code that in a day.

Some other school sites have multiple free boards still. The plan sure seems like its to make this board suck enough that you want to pay for premium.
Quick google confirms:

Multiple Free Boards Example
    • SMU (On The Pony Express): Features a public forum section including the Lobby, Hail to the Rhett and the Blue Board, Moody Magic Board Room, and The Hilltop Board Room. [1]
    • Tulsa (Inside Tulsa Sports): Includes public communities like the Lobby, TU Free Board, General Interest, and Tulsa Crossfire. [1]
    • West Virginia (WV Sports): Houses multiple public categories such as Lobby, The Blue Lot, Mountaineer Message Board, The Woodshed Off-Topic Discussion Board, and Mountaineer Eats. [1]

Why would anyone want to post on any of those boards?

It was/is also August. The most notoriously slow sports month in the calendar. If it wasn’t for all of the craziness about eligibility, wouldn’t be anything to talk about.
