"What did the bird say?" No really, some good ideas in here. The one thing I could think of is in this high tech age, with more people accessing the net from their phones, a really good user friendly mobile version might be an idea.
I have to agree. I love being here, but being able to show everybody my ridiculous getup is not something i would pay for. Combine that with increased traffic that not having to pay will bring to the other parts of the board and I foresee a tiny revenue stream drying up even more. Not to sound elitist, but i appreciate that some of this board requires payment to get in. It does help keep the riff-raff out. I suggest something less drastic. Just add an SEC or College general board to the free area. That should cover the news and discussion that indirectly affects LSU. All other topics are remotely or not-at-all related to LSU and should be ancillary, and appropriately cost ancillary to those who use them. On the other end, I wouldn't mind a $5-$10 price hike in yearly sub costs ($2-$5 hike in monthly), with the value I get out of this place I already feel like i'm robbing you blind Brett. Great Ceaser's Ghost!
Figment of your imagination. I really love the forum features and believe the minimal donation is more than warranted based on the news, features and overall atmosphere. I'd rather contribute to post here with worthy individuals than on some free sites where any Gump loving, hormone driven 16 year-old with verbal diarrhea can talk about the Tigers. I agree with Crip's suggestion of a tailgaiting forum and Grad's suggestion post stories written by members of TF. In year's past we've "adopted" college students and military personel to allow them to have full access to TF. Are we going to do that again?
Oh I love soap operas! Who is going to sleep with someone's sister? Who is going to go into a coma? The plot thickens!
