Has the proliferation of other boards hurt the OT?

I feel like TD has become so heavily compartmentalized that the OT has been reduced to gossip threads and NSFW rate threads.

I'd much rather talk music or food with you idiots than with the go-hards on the dedicated boards.

When you dedicate a specific subject to just one board it makes things super cereal for some folks on those boards and you don't get the general tom-foolery that once thrived in similar subjects on the OT.

Sigh... gonna spill some OE for the days done by.

No, it's because you're a German beta with a 36 ACT score, millions in the bank, and can whoop 6 Navy Seals without breaking a sweat.

I look at the OT as my front page. I know if something big or important goes down it will be here.

that crap has been going on for like 10 years. The really good stuff involved calling people at work and making them lose their job. Or stealing the fiancee of a local BR sportscaster.

Yeah I barely scratched the surface of the name calling here.

Calling someone's work is pretty low.

Like, I can't even start an old-timey country music thread without it being moved to the thread graveyard...err the Music Board.

SEC Rant


Do you really want the less level-headed of my kind, not to mention the riff-raff of other SEC schools, to be loosed upon the OT and Tiger Rant?

Or they could kill the board and ban anyone who has at least 500 posts on the SEC Rant.

With the amount of posters and traffic TD gets daily now, this is a good thing and improves TD.

Do you really want movie/tv, food/drink, gaming, money, outdoor, political, music, threads and posters all on one board with the OT having its own threads, with all of those posters and traffic? Threads would be bumped off the first page so fast, it would be on the second page five seconds after you start it. It'd be like trying to cram 75% of reddit into one subreddit.

Trust me you don't want the PC vs Xbox vs Playstaion threads on here, trust me you don't want the book readers vs the Hodors on here, and in no way shape or form do you want Bama posters on here.

I think I might have that.

The proliferation of the SECRant has been a boon to Chicken, I doubt that he would kill a money-maker. I doubt that there is a board as diverse and tolerant on the interwebz, at least in the realm of college football, as TD. This place is truly awesome.

Gumps would be purged of course. That's always assumed in any scenario.
