Oh I don't care about whether or not they are split. I'd know a lot less about what is going on with softball if they were.

frankly staff has never said what are the thresholds for creating a new board. I would think traffic is a consideration, along with moderation. Also some boards have sponsors. If you want a softball only board and are willing to sponsor it, my guess is they'll create it if the price is right.

You seem to be hung up on traffic as the only factor. Also you seem to not understand pay board vs free board.


I'm not hung up on anything. Traffic is the rationale others threw out as the reason for combining the two, not me.

I 100% understand pay board vs free board…what exactly does that have to do with combining baseball and softball into a single board? Once again men's basketball vs women's basketball.. just try and explain the contradiction to me…

I'm just going to point out Volleyball got their own forum this year and then they won a natty for the first time in program history.


Biochem is the only one here who sees the big picture.

Sorry, had to get something in the oven.

More posts doesn't necessarily mean more knowledge. There's multiple folks here with inside information. We don't need more Negative Normans and Chatty Charlies.

The way I understood it is baseball board is for baseball fans. Premium board is for football fans who want to talk about baseball.

That's a pretty good way to put it.

traffic isn't the only factor. frankly it might not even be a factor at all. Since this is so important to you, you should email the owners and ask them.

As far as contradictions, well yea, this entire site is that. The moderation alone is a contradiction, but I'll stop before i get banned

Biggest factor in volleyball getting its own forum seems to have been Jamie asking for it.

If anyone really wants a separate softball forum, I'd suggest convincing Trish to ask about it next time she is in for the radio show.

I also heard Jamie asking for it is what got the separate volleyball forum. Now need to somehow put that bug into Trish's ear and it will get done. Pretty darn fast, too, I'll bet.

You have been a member here since 2007. You have had to see one of the 1000 previous times this has been asked before. If not, it's because you don't come to the baseball/softball board enough further proving why it's not needed.


You probably could have typed the answer in less words…

Chicago Manual of Style and Purdue OWL also say it's acceptable in an informal setting…

Aside from that, I'm an engineer, like to look for efficiency in using "fewer" letters

I didn't read far enough back...but I see Chicago Manual of Style and all I can think of is Kate L Turabian ... I'm a history professor so those words get my utmost attention.

We have forums for everything…why are women's softball and men's baseball combined???


The two teams' sites here should be separate.

I'm not really buying the "not enough traffic" argument as there are numerous forums that have little traffic.


True. I can think of one board in particular that has THREE total posts since the end of August!

I would rather they fix the Aggie Soccer forum first. If you visit, you will quickly see it isn't Aggie Soccer (for the most part).

fix, if you take out all the non Aggie soccer threads there isn't any threads left. Just like right now the WBB board is absolute ghost town.

I like softball here, there aren't enough posters to carry an entire board just for softball. I think most of us here are fans of both and like having both here to follow both sports.
so volleyball had more posters last year than softball? lol

Okay, I will play along, why does it bother you people are on the soccer forum, talking soccer, when Aggie soccer isn't being played?

It's more a soccer community forum, that all likes Aggie Soccer. What's wrong with that?
