I come here for all the nudes people pm me but I would probably come here even if there were no nudes.

I originally came here to talk about the Score. We used to have more Chicago talk radio conversation at this place than an anywhere on the net and the industry was paying attention. I think we have lost a lot of posters who loved sports talk radio. I think we have also lost a lot of sports talk on air talent that made a conversation compelling.

I've always thought the site was at its best when the radio conversation was at its greatest. People certainly had similar level disagreements about radio back in the day as they do about politics today.

I'm here to warn you about the future where the gay mafia of screeching social justice types run everything. Unfortunately, the resistance's technology only allows me to access this one website from 15 years in the future.

You were beaten to death by roided up Bucktown gays at a Wrigley game five years ago, I'm sorry. You can still prevent this though!

I like the game threads since my work usually doesn't allow me to watch the majority of the games. Some of the political thoughts posted here give me a chuckle as well.

1) Discussion about sports talk radio.
2) Sports debate

3) Non-sports daily minutiae about life including TV talk

*I don't open the majority of threads on here.

i discovered this place while looking for other people that might have similar gripes about chicago sports and chicago media as i had. I work in a nerdery so to speak with very few daily sports outlets to discuss things with. I was apart of a fairly large fantasy football webforum for some time that also had a very robust "off topic" forum but as i lost interest in discussing fantasy football much, i stuck around for the off topic discussions which involved all that was listed above but ultimately that too grew stale (same 10 users commenting all the time) and people fell out and weren't really replaced with anyone of value.

What i discovered here is a perfect replacement for that space. There is an appropriate amount of meatball fandom, intelligence, trolling, and a balance of opposing views that makes this place a daily visit for me. Its organized properly and management isn't super aggressive.

Social media has done a good job of destroying many topic specific web forums. I've seen this mightily in the realm of hunting and fishing. Facebook is much easier. Reddit kind of as well but that community is too topic specific. If i wanted people in /hunting 's opinion on bbq i couldn't get it in /bbq. if that makes sense they aren't participating most likely or if they are, they are drowned out by the large other members to that subreddit.

Fads also kill web forums. Like in my example fantasy football. For a time it was all the rage. our forum grew crazily for a good number of years but has since died out.

But I'm not sure a city specific sports forum will die out from a lack of interest or social media. It could for other reasons such as mismanagement.

Thats why i've had no problem diving in and investing time engaging. Organically there is no reason for such a forum to go anywhere.

Nas - great marketing survey disguised as a board question. What agency are you guys using?

Not knocking you guys. I'm sure you're making a good bill off this investment. Just curious.

I come for the Cubs talk mainly. Real fans here. Not some commercialized bullshit or managed forum.
