Shit is tiresome and politics seems to reign supreme in every corner of life these days. Provide a place for people to get away from it and don't let it creep on to other boards. There is a long thread on Board Discussion on this very topic. Short answer is that it's not likely to change. The reasons why are numerous. I say that at the risk of totally derailing this thread.

September 22, 20232 yr I have an account but have stopped posting because of the insanity of several cloak room posters who follow around to football boards and down vote to get you banned. No sense in getting involved with posting any more. I sign in occasionally to buy football tickets from users, but that’s about it. I have an add blocker, so I have no technical complaints about the board. It’s great to see the work Immamac does for the athletes here at Texas. Keep up the good work, and I admittedly need to get my donations going.

I am fully aware that this doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but can you or others point to any usernames this has occurred to? Who has gotten banned (or near-banned) by CR posters outside of the CR? Note that I am excluding various iterations of GRHorn and animaltobacco as those are (imo) more reactions to repeated trolling with new user names.

I’d like to provide some semblance of appreciation to you, but the ads had killed any goodwill. Soooo, the ads bothered you so much that you refused to be a tree fiddy subscriber...which would have meant you no longer had to see ads. But now that nobody will have to see ads, you're willing to become a subscriber? Okie dokie!

It's totally legit.

September 22, 20232 yr So I have family on both sides of Texas/OU. I have to say my youngest made the worst party foul in the fall! yep Wedding on Oct 7th. Geez bright kids but damn. I guess the youngest daughter gets the pat on the back full ride to Alabama. good news The Horns won when it counted. I might be talked into trying to get a collective going. Thanks to everyone all the way back to Shaggy Bevo.
September 22, 20232 yr The big gray arrow in bottom right corner on Mobile is annoying. Will jump you to top of page if hit randomly while scrolling. Ideas to get people to site? Could try letting users from this week’s opponent posts as guests in the weekly thread/game thread, or maybe allow them to post under their schools forum handle here. EX: Someone from KillerFrogs who’s had a handle there for awhile could post/sign up for game week here using the same login info/profile

As a general rule, I think ignoring users is for the feeble minded. But those two are on my ignore list, CA for that exact reason. Not being inundated with their nonsense makes for a much better product. Edited September 22, 20232 yr by Porterhouse

Like you do when you jerk it. and guess I’m a legacy member cause I don’t ever see ads on mobile. I do notice them when I login from work but I do that immediately and don’t pay attention to them. soooooooooo, keep up the good work as far as I’m concerned.
September 22, 20232 yr It don’t mKe a shit to me. I love the sight. I like making fun of people who post 5 times in a row when shits borked. Even when I’ve had some really down days I come here for the lulz. Ads or not I’m just glad the sites here so I have something to look forward to
September 22, 20232 yr I was told acquiring Tree Fiddy status required and open mind and lots of debt.

I never see ads… except recently I bounced over to the Cloak Room to see reactions to something. Maybe Boebert’s misunderstanding in the theater. 🤷♂️ Holy crap was I inundated with ads that were more in-your-face that 5 drill sergeants in the face of a newly enlisted kid ducking around in basic training (I would guess). I’m a poor (forgive me for being an over educated poor) and so I always wondered why I am not inundated with ads. Just discovered that I’m a “Legacy” member, whatever that means. I have been around since Hornfans in 2000 (and maybe Austin360 (365?) before that. Was banned a couple of times from Hornfans for language 🙄, so not sure when I started down the Napoleon path, but probably mid-late 2000s. 6 hours ago, LonghornJones said: Whoever has the most rep points in the next calendar year gets a case of OG 4Loko and a HJ. If you really want to OG, you need to provide some original recipe of this shit… Downing one of these to start a cheap night out was something I may or may not have done nearly 20 years ago. It was the first of the premixed booze & “energy” drinks as far as I know.
September 22, 20232 yr On a mobile it was unbearable , thought I looked at “awesome Juggs machine” one too many times and got the virus. Didn’t know about treefifty. So now that adds gone - would you prefer I join treefiddy , make a donation to tail gate or burnt ends or nil? ….your gonna get about 3.50

September 23, 20232 yr i am tree fiddy now as well . i only got ads in cr ,but since i was in cr, i felt like i deserved them .

Chock full of idiots and mouth breathers. I will beg the fuck out of anyone who says “frick” like those sister fucking imbeciles.
September 23, 20232 yr I'm usually a Tapa browser. Unfortunately my number of visitations have plummeted b/c that app is absurd....not sure if others are in a similar situation
September 23, 20232 yr Not sure it’s really related, but it’s in the same forum - I’d like to see the ticket exchange grow to be the go to source for fan sourced longhorn tickets. Secondary markets screw the seller and the buyer with fees. Market share here for longhorn tickets would get more eyeballs on the site. A reasonable fee structure (even if higher than the processing fees posted today) that can cover other lurker costs or NIL or whatever but is less predatory seems like a pretty damn good idea. I assume that’s why this exists. just call cdc and have him allocate some tickets to you to get going. Seems simple enough.
