Serious Question. What Happened To This Site?

This is not me trolling or just being an ass for no reason, but seriously, what happened to this site?

i use to be on here religiously and there would be multiple new threads daily all throughout the year. Obviously the state of the team has been nothing short of a disaster, but it is nowhere near as active as it use to be. Especially in the off-season

Also, the functionality of this site is as bad as I have ever seen. The ads are nonstop. This site is brutal to use on my phone. It is also not much better on my laptop. This site is consistently crashing my browser which has does not happen with any other sites.

finally, what is with the threads from the panthers website? They take up unnecessary room and never have any follow up discussion in those threads.

did igo sell this site? Did he just disappear and no longer gives a crap about it? I’m genuinely not trying to be a jerk. Didn’t always see eye to eye with him, but there was zero argument that he ran a great site. My only guess is that it’s under new onwership.

We are mostly the leftovers. A few fossils, some X, Millenial and older Z who did not migrate to reddit, discord or wherever the heck kids complain about their sport teams these days. 

Message boards are a dying breed. Enjoy it while it’s still here. 

Eh idk if I agree with message boards being a dying breed. If you’re a hockey fan, hfboards are extremely active for all teams and general hockey. 
 

RealGM is extremely active for basketball teams. I am a Mets fan and there are very active Mets message boards. 247/rivals/on3 whole business model is based off active message boards. There is Definitley a demand for message boards still.

i understand it being slower with the state of the team but this entire board has gone down hill. The ads are unbearable.

I don’t see many ads - not just saying that bc I’m a mod. And yeah, some of the larger general sports boards are still out there but even the largest boards there ever were have shuttered (I.e IMDB off the top of my head). Digital Third Space is simply occupied on other platforms these days.

So I’ll double down to say it’s surviving past its expiration date off of who remains from the fan base of the worst team in the league that had two memorable stretches in the past 25 years. 

I imagine JI could’ve handed it off or shut it, but he keeps it open when it’s basically a hefty and unnecessary bill from Invision, so I find that pretty nice. 

Going to lock for now as I don’t see this going much further. Not hating on your thread, but let’s just try to make it fun while we can in here haha.

well, it's 2024.  Message boards aren't how the youngsters talk sports.  I would assume the average age here skews older.  Folks that enjoy the routine banter/discussion with familiar nameless accounts that brings some consistency to actual discussion vs the one and done yelling into the void of bigger social media.   

plus, we suck and have for a long time at this point.  Most Panther fans wouldn't even recognize our best player at this point out on the streets.  Outside of maybe noticing  that random fella is quite large and moving on with your shopping trip.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.

      Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.

      And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
