Could we subdivide the blog
by content before or after posting like
We do the corral
Political - the corral
High school recruitment - another new blog
Anything on Mac or Deloss - Another new blog
Basketball and volleyball - new blog
Baseball and golf and track- new blogs
It would make the board more accessible for those with particular needs and let the 'Mac and Deloss have there own area
It can be done but might take one additionally staff
Ok to criticize, but no reason to bring down the whole program base on 1 or 2 over. The hill hirings.
The loyal fans are getting upset with the naysayers

I've actually been a member since the day this site started. Been with Ketch since the 360 board. Not sure why the shield says 12 months and not particularly concerned about it.
+1
I've been noticing that most of the crap threads are started by posters I've never seen or heard of before.
Hornbacker - stick around, this too shall pass.
It's a bad time in the Longhorn nation. Lots of adversity right in front of us. People react much differently to adversity across the board and that's what you're seeing.
This board generally goes as the program goes. It's a great place to be when things are good. A not so great place when things are bad. It's just been a long time since things have been this bad.
We should probably find ways to stick together, better understand each other, practice some restraint and respect, and this board becomes a much better place. But it's tough when there's so many trolls roaming freely.
Using the ignore function works for me. Cannot stand the negativity. I probably have 50 or so of the negative guys on my ignore list, and add to it daily.
I agree with the OP 100% and even though I've been here from the very first month over a decade ago, I'm very seriously considering dropping my sub next month when it's up.
As someone said, this board has always been my refuge. A place I could come and talk Texas sports (or anything else) with "friends". We didn't always agree but we were still friends. It's not fun anymore...so why do it? Someone else said people can't handle someone having a different opinion. That's not it at all. It's the incessant beating of the dead horse. The hijacking of AIDT every single thread. The revisionist history and the constant statements of opinions as facts. It got old a long time ago. I step away a while hoping it will die down but when I come back its still there. Just as bad if not worse.
Several years ago I thought about starting a private board...just for discussion among friends that was invitation only. We wouldn't always agree with each other but at least it would be a place were we could go to have a mature discussion.
I'm really sorry I never did that now that this board has become what it has become.

Actually, I think OB is a microcosm of our society these days and that is the lack of civility in just about everything we do. Can't have a discussion, debate a subject, disagree, have a conflict, etc without insulting or attacking the other person, party, position.
As a long time OB member, I agree with a lot of the OPs thoughts but I also enjoy some of the board's evolution. I wish there were fewer attacks but I tend to skip those threads or pass over those posts until I see a credible comment.
