I use to contribute to the board when it first came on line. As more trolls and negative posters made themselves known on the board, I made a decision to no longer financially support the board. Why support trolls, negatism, and falsehoods. As I mentioned in the post above there are those that post informative information and insight, but those have become the silent minority.
You can find me on Totalblue Sports - you see there, posters pay and they have to give their real names. There you have accountability. No hiding behind masks!
If you go to Totalblue Sports I am easily spotted. You can then recognize my name in the Legacy Room on the third floor, on the plaza outside the baseball/softball complex, in the football locker room, and possibly a few other sites on campus if you look. In addition to the Cougar Club, my Sweetheart and I donate to the touchdown and three point clubs. For bowl games, we donate tickets to the local mission presidents so missionaires can invite investigators or whom they feel inspired to invite.
I might be a freeloader now on this board, but when I see something that benefits BYU and the Church I put my money where my heart is!!!!! If and when Cougarboard returns to a more positive and supportive site of BYU sports, I would be more than happy to inject capital. Perhaps if the board required the use of real names vs. action figures the quality of posts might improve.
By the way, for those who don't already know me, my name is Dean Robb. I have several friends and family members on this board.
Go Cougars!!!!!!!!!!!!
