Why a New Board?

Just curious as to the reason(s) for the new board. I have heard some of the rumblings concerning AGS, and I am interested in what this board hopes to offer that AGS does not offer.... Looking forward to the comments! Go Dayton Flyers!!!!!

Because there is plenty of room for 2 FCS Boards. For one, many of the members here were upset over the moderators and the admin Ralph over at AGS and how they began to go overboard banning and warning people. We won't watch or track you and your posts; we won't ban you unless you threaten someone or really go overboard. We are here for the FCS fan and will let you say what you want, without US telling you off.

Thanks for joining!

Well explained, I haven't been able to put a signature on a post on AGS or send/receieve messages for over a year for disagreeing with Ralph & his cronies. I still venture over there but it's normally in passing.

I was a long time poster on AGS and that was a originally a great site.. outstanding I-AA football talk.. free expression.. both serious and funny posters and some great pictures.. but something or someone recently changed. Additional moderators were added.. goofy reputation points were awarded and the rules relative to posting suddenly changed. What use to be acceptable was no longer tolerated. Warnings and suspensions were commonplace. While X-Rated pictures were once accepatable on an 'adult' board.. now the posting of a picture of a bikini type clad girl can result in a warning. Debate between members was stifled.. what was once acceptable banter.. may now be considered 'offfensive' and a 'personal attack'. Political correctness now seems to be more important than free expression over there and many AGS posters were looking for an alternative FCS site. I left back in April and I was not going to return unless the over moderation was reduced. Thankfully that is no longer an issue.. as I plan to do all my I-AA/FCS football posting right here.

What pissed me off the most was the obvious double standard in the aplication of the rules over there. A select few posters could get away with calling people names while others were reprimanded for questioning the oppinion of those posters.

What's your definition of a "new" board?

This board has been around for awhile, although apparently new to you.

That post has been around since July 07 and the thread was bumped today. :lol:

I've been "got" by that before myself.

Or how D1B might be back, maybe, or could be if enough stuff is offered up, or if AZ is nice enough to allow him back, or if D1B gets a new internet connection....

I don't think PFL needs any promoting. I really don't want to hear about the sports car, the bar breaking her windows, her landlord being a dick, her house being on fire....did I miss any?
