Teddy when I post a topic I don't expect personal attacks on me for my opinion. Everybody has an opinion and my opinion was the fouls in the Defiance and Celina game even though they were legit was very inconsistent. That's my opinion and I don't expect personal attacks because of it. Also I am part of the media and I will point out bad officiating even if it is in Defiance's favor. Yes I want Defiance to win, but I am not a homer like someone called me and I don't have a bias like another person said. Maybe you like people saying stuff about you, but I don't and it has no place on here.

I guess I'm curious as to why we insist to compare RC to "the other site" or... actually "the other sites"? Why can't this website be something that has nothing but positive insight? Not saying it's possible or impossible, simply posing the question. I'll start...it starts at the top.

This site 5 years ago and now are like night and day. It was a great place to be when I first signed up(guess that was actually closer to 7-8 years ago but you get the point), and there's 2 main things that stand out to me why it's changed. 1 There's only so much discussion about LCC and the MAC that a person can take! I understand LCC is a lightning rod for controvery/has been great in almost every sport, and I understand the MAC(especially in football) is the best small school league in the state. That doesn't mean that every other topic has to be about them/turn into a discussion about them. I understand being up here in the northern part of the coverage area, there isn't going to be as much talk about what's going on up here compared to Limaland.....but it sure would be nice to have SOME kind of discussion on the GMC, NWOAL, etc. But it seems as though every time we get a poster/posters with ties to those leagues wanting to talk, the MAC guys have to point out how much better they are and ruin it. We get it. We really do. You guys are a great group of schools who dominate in a lot of sports and you should be proud. Let us talk about our schools. I don't need to hear about Tinora football's weak strength of schedule whenever someone brings them up. I don't need to hear about how the GMC is a joke. Let us have our threads.
2, and most problematic, is RM himself. He seemed like a real cool dude when I first joined but he's developed a massive ego problem in the last few years and frankly, it's driving people away. He's done a good job with creating the site and making a place where we can have discussions and even air out our grievances without the threat of being banned, and I DO thank him for that. That was the number 1 problem with the puddle and it's one of the strengths of this site. HOWEVER, this isn't a news agency. Just because you think you have some inside info doesn't mean it's your job to break it before the ACTUAL news people. They know just as much and probably more than you do....the difference is, because their job calls for integrity and making sure you're right before reporting, they aren't allowed to report rumors. Just because you have your sources and happen to be right on a lot of the rumors doesn't make you better than the local media. It's one thing to post what you're hearing, it's another completely to act like a jacka** when you end up being right. At times the latter has been the case and it's hard to read. I could also do without the controversial topics such as the LCC and OG ones(just off the top of my head) that are started, BY RM HIMSELF, to attempt to get conversation going. The problem with the membership/slower post counts around here isn't a lack of controversy. I firmly believe the controversy itself is driving people away. I personally don't come here for the day in, day out, he said, she said drama of the most popular schools in the area. I come here to talk HS sports with people from around the area and to help myself learn about teams I otherwise would have never known anything about while I'm up here following basically ONLY Defiance sports.
As I said, just my 2 cents, and these were just a couple of issues i needed to get off my chest. I really do like this site and especially being able to come in and get a score or a piece of info about a game whenever I need it. As long as I'm having at least a little bit of fun and find the boards at least somewhat useful I'm a dedicated member of the Corner. But it's frustrating at times to see the way things are handled knowing that it used to be so much different/better. But again, thanks RM for a FREE, UNCENSORED place to talk about high school sports without worrying about being banned everytime we're even slightly critical of someone.

This is about 65 cents.
