I'll tell you who is definitely overrated, and it comes directly from the prevailing opinions in the underrated threads, are sports posters. The crowd that sticks to sports basically just sit around in empty threads talking to themselves like quaint zoo animals for the rest of us to gawk at. "Awww look at the cute NME he only posts in the Bears forum! He's so doe-eyed and innocent, he'd never join the fray in the big, angry mean threads where feelings get hurt". Nothing against those guys, but I tried to really talk sports on here and nobody is interested.

All of my highest effort posts this year have been about the Bears. When I go on some tirade about how the left is recruiting minorities to self destruct western civilization by making them think they'll be able to loot the piñata afterwards I often wont even bother to Google basic facts, hoping either than I'm right anyways or nobody will bother to call me out if I'm wrong. I know overall my point is correct but I'm not putting that much effort into making it. Bears posts? I will Google and double check and watch videos and really try--but the threads are DOA. The entire Bears and NFL forums combined saw maybe 200 posts during the draft this year, Sterling Brown matched that number in 24 hours across the main thread and the handful of knockoffs that sprouted up. Nobody is interested in talking or arguing sports. You can tell there are posters who are making token efforts to try and talk sports but their hearts aren't in it and they'd rather just condescend and hate-bathe in the Trump Year 2 cyclone or somewhere.

Its like Ford pulling all its cars out of the North American market. Everyone suddenly loooooooves the Fiesta now, but over the past 5 years who was buying them? Proof is in the pudding lads. This is simply not a sports board at the moment and unless a sports discussion can tie into the culture war nobody is interested.

It would’ve taken you like 10 seconds to check the draft stuff and know you are wrong on that topic.

The rest of your post is wrong too imo. NME isn’t my favorite but guys like Rob Wolfley are really solid. There’s interesting posts to be found in the sports sections where things aren’t always binary. Every political topic we have on here is the same people saying the same shit with no differentiation ever. I used to partake but now only resort to it when the rest of the board is completely dead and I’m bored as hell. It’s textbook mental masturbation and it’s thoroughly uninteresting. Reading a block of text from you/JLN/LTG/Ogie/Rick/etc about some bullshit political topic everyone will simultaneously forget and yet repeat in two weeks is the worst of the worst this board has to offer.

Politics sells on here. Its that simple. I rarely post about it these days but if you want something that engages the vast majority of people on here that would be it.

I rarely posted about anything outside of sports when I joined. For the first year it was me primarily debating with Spinnin Buckets. Then FF joined us. Around 2008 the board became political. This has never been a sports talk board. It's been more of a sports radio and sports radio gossip site from the beginning.

Define "majority." And "vast."
