Six days since the previous post!!! It is soooooo quiet on the board that I can hear the crickets. It harkens back to the day the Mayor was punishing us all for a few loud mouths/jacka$$es/(insert idiot comment here). While I can do without the bozo postings, this is just too sad. Now what do I do with all the free time.

It's dead - once they went to registration, you knew virtually nothing would get posted. It's the Shark board part II.

We all should expect more. Evolving to a more efficient board is one of those changes. These other boards are just open for clueless anonymous attackers to take pot shots at people. Here we let people speak their mind, but log in and fire away. Just realize you cant anonymous blast people. We as a softball community should always be looking for new ways to better our sport. This is one way that can be done, with a message board designed to talk about SOFTBALL, not message board strictly designed for lies, rumors, and just TRASH...

Now what do I do with all the free time. Well we should be asking for more out of life, more out of people who monitor websites. Being totally in it for BS and drama is something i will not compromise and neither should any of us. It may take some time, but hopefully people see the benefits to a message board like our new one.

Here is a suggestion that might work to increase posting, traffic , buzz etc. Periodically insert new discussion topics. Rules, tournament sites, recruiting, team preparation for example. If your public hesitates to drive the conversation then perhaps you or the staff can. This would also allow you to direct topics in a useful and positive manner. Occasionally take the opposite side in a devil's advocate way to spur interest. Simply setting up the board is not enough.

It is just a little lull right now in the softball world. Once fall ball picks up that will be done. Thanks for your suggestions and support.

I would like to commend you on your decision to clean up the board and remove the stain from your organization. It's a sad state of affairs when that kinda gossip is missed by so many. To allow some small minded and hurtful people a forum where they can spread their venom is an unconscionable act. The administrator of this board shows integrity and responsibility.

We as a Rocker organization appreciate that. Just trying to make this board more about softball and not about anonymous attacks, gambling, and slander.

Whats this midwestfastpitch board, does this have something to do with the Rockers? It looks a lot like the old Rocker board.

This is the type of post that should be deleted. Either Prosecute him or STFU!

Sorta like a certain message board sand bagging the Rockers and allowing others to do it over and over. All i know is that the midwest pitch board has zero connection with the rockers and I am very glad that the Rockers have no connection that message board.
Jim Giancana is no longer involved with the Rockers and I'll leave it at that.

Need to have more class than people who find it enjoyable to attack people or organizations on a message board. This is softball, people go on to achieve great things in life way beyond softball. Softball is a tool that should be helping girls to have a future beyond the game, a college degree and careers...

I personally did not see any derogatory remarks regarding the Rockers on the midwestfastpitch board, that is why I thought that it may still be part of the Rockers organization.

You can bet who ever started that board was a regular poster on the old board. They must have a problem with the new direction of this board because they are no longer supporting the rocker board. They must not have been a rocker supporter or they have changed allegiance due to some strife. Either way the open forum, where you can attack people with impunity, was where they felt comfortable doing their dirty work. And now are in need to recreate that environment. The only difference between that board and this board is you have to be accountable here and there you don't. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds when it doesn't have the rocker organization to support peoples claim for following the board.

If you are going to compete, then everyone should start participating more with this board. Like the thread started, "6 days since previous post, " you need to begin driving content here. Simply putting board up is not enough.
