Time To Take Back What Was Once Mine

This seems familiar.

Since November of last year, I had seen control of my NISB website slipping away from me. I found the issue with the content side not too long ago and reversed it. I took back what was once mine and didn't let anyone take it away from me.

I won't be decieved like that again.

I'm at this same feeling when it comes to the Message Boards of the website.

I personally know of someone who is trying to blow up the message board, because he thinks he's God. It took me a while, but I finally figured him out and how he operates.

Everything was going great until nearly three years ago. The floodgates opened and the message board is filled with mildew. They say things have never been better on there. I beg to differ.

When long-time message board posters are telling me they are sick of the talk and walk away, this hurts. When coaches are telling me about people on a message board (including one coach during warmups before a STATE FINAL GAME), this really hurts.

They say posts have gone up. They have. However, the geography of the audience has whittled down to 1/8th of what I consider my coverage area. Even when I am trying in vain to expand the geographical reach of this website by gamers, features, etc. on areas that aren't popular on the message board.

What turns these people off are the antics of this new breed of message board posters; many of them are simply this one guy. I'm sick of playing Whack-A-Mole.

I have come to the conclusion that this is a coordinated effort to destroy my message board between him and several of his friends, some of which are trying to con me in on being their friends. (There is one instance where I'm suspecting where someone's involvement in this would lead to the print/online Cold War. To you, whose side are you on?)

I will not let NISB suffer the same fate that the NCIpreps board suffered eight years ago. This is the same group of uncontrollable people which led to the killing of that.

I can't simply remove the mildew from the board manually without cause. But what can be done is drowning all of it out to make it appear small. This I can't do alone. Much of my former base consisted of current NIB-12 posters, mixed with Three Rivers, Big 6 and Rock Falls/Dixon/Bureau County posters. These are the people that brought integrity and respect to this message board, both of which has been lost with this mess.

Together, we can restore something that will make high school sports in this area something to cheer about and be happy of.

F****ing with me has its consenquences.

In the name of high school sports, the revolution to take back the NISB Message Board has commenced. Let's quarantine this crap.

Who's with me?
