Does participation on Cougarboard offer any correlation with fan excitement?

Confirmation bias defined.

How about denial?

Zach Morris

I'm not saying it's a convincing argument, I'm wondering if

Zach Morris

Depends on what is going on in the sports world.

mulletYno

That seems like a reasonable explanation but it also appears

Zach Morris

IMO, it's as much a reflection of the discourse on the board than fan interest.

What do you believe brought on the hostility and negativity

Zach Morris

5/24/15 11:04am

Mob mentality.

BarraCouga

5/24/15 11:33am

Part of that mentality leads to revolution and change. If done correctly

Zach Morris

5/24/15 11:40am

Yea...if you're implying this board will bring "regime change" then no.

BarraCouga

5/24/15 11:52am

I don't believe any AD changes come as a result of CB.

Zach Morris

They get their info elsewhere and choose not to wade in the cesspool.

BarraCouga

5/24/15 12:25pm

Is this an example of the negativity you were referring to?

Zach Morris

5/24/15 12:32pm

Bwahahah...now that was funny. Nice.

BarraCouga

5/24/15 2:03pm

I wonder if some of your negativity has driven some of those great posters away?

Zach Morris

5/24/15 2:21pm

It probably has. Never get into an argument with a pig, right?

BarraCouga

5/24/15 2:32pm

And you're seeing the change that results.

I highly doubt you have anything to back your first claim

southernfriedcougar

5/24/15 12:47pm

I agree. The sarcastic nature of many posters gives CB a negative feel

Participation drop off may be

conetah

5/24/15 12:16pm

Yep, my CB participation has definitely dropped of due to the persistent whine

5/24/15 1:26pm

By "persistent whine" are you referencing opinions that differ from yours?

Zach Morris

5/24/15 1:32pm

LOLOLOLOLOL. That wasn't condescending at all.

5/24/15 3:01pm

*you're*

5/24/15 7:12pm

wow. that was some HUGE conclusions you jumped to from 2 words he said

Southpaw102

5/25/15 12:21pm

I agree 100%.

Mufasa

Yep, dead horses abound.

dratax

From my experience it definitely correlates.

If CB wasn't set up to treat people like children, more would stay.

southernfriedcougar

5/24/15 3:17pm

Board management plus fan apathy would be my guess.

CB active membership has changed over time.

Pasadena

5/24/15 8:05pm

I don't think so. there are TONS of HUGE fans that don't even know about

Southpaw102

5/25/15 12:12pm

Twitter has/will take a portion of CB users
