  • What can i say, I love this site and forum. I seriously started to despise the other site, I couldn't stand the "OMG the sky is falling JoePa is old" attitude anymore. Keep up the great work Sean, couldn't be happier with this amazing service all of you guys provide. Please don't let it turn into one of the other sites for the reasons stated above! rockon

    I have no regrets.

    welcome

    Glad to have you here and continue to spread the word about the site. There's a lot of momentum right now heading into the football season.

    I am still a paying member on Scout and will remain so. The problem here, as anywhere, is that once it becomes popular it will turn into all the other sites. As Yogi Berra once said, "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded". Just the nature of the beast. I figure I might as well just ride it out. I do enjoy having an alternative for information though.

    To your point, I think how a community is moderated plays a huge role in how good a board can become.

  • My premium subscription over at Blue White was cancelled a couple of weeks ago. This content is the best here and for the most part the posters are better.

    Enissuit makes a good point though and it is something I expect to be a problem later, but I have more faith in Sean, Pat, and Andrew to do the right thing. In fact I think there are a few posters that are no longer allowed to post here.

    This is the best site out there ... first in information and first in quality posters.

    If winning was easy even losers would do it.

    I'm now curious where everyone else came from that is now on Lions247.

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    ^ This...I really didn't start following recruiting til about a year or two ago. I used ESPN (so bad now looking back) at first, then found Rivals and Scout. However, at the time was a poor college kid and didnt have a subscription to anywhere. Then I found this site last year and did a trial at the sites and I found this site just to be way better. One of my major selling points was the mobile site. I'll be honest the mobile site is awesome and use it a ton.

    I still check other boards but 247 is the only one that gets my money thumbsup

  • I was at scout for 5 or 6 years and was rarely a subscriber. I joined this site when Sean was giving all the info out for free to drive traffic here. Sean was/is always on top of the things, so I decided to subscribe and have never looked back. I go back to Audibles from time to time, but barely end up there for long as that place has gone so downhill.

    This is my first pay site. I lerked on bwi and scout for free info as well as several other free sites for the past four years but Sean and some other regular posters I followed on the other boards hooked me and when important stuff went premuim here I had to go vip. Keep up the great work guys.

    Sean does an awesome job with the info and so far this site hasn't been overrun like Scout's of Phil's site with those looking to bark the same crap over and over again. Better discussions here...hope it stays that way. Not to mention you can ignore the repetitive posters.

    Technically, it started approximately 9 months earlier... biggrin

    BWI & Scout for several years - still have active premium memberships to both.

  • Was over at BWI for a few years. Sean always answered my questions accurately and quickly in posts.
    I cancelled my BWI membership as soon as I found out he left and subscribed over here when I found the site.

    I think this site has the most objective posters. Got sick of the fighting between some of the posters on BWI.

    I've been impressed at how information is shared on this site from other sites' moderators. Keep up the good work, gentlemen!

    Now if MarylandNit joins and posts over here, that'd be icing on the cake!

    Rather than horrify myself with that visual, I'll just stick with 'the stork brought me.'

    Pat,

    Could not agree more. The Scout moderators' defensive attitude and eagerness to partake in and drive the drama resulted in the cancelling of my premium subscription when 247 came around. Imo, Sean, Andrew and yourself take a much more active role in setting the tone on this board, and in keeping things on track.

    Scout and only Scout. I browsed the boards at BWI and made an account there but only posted a handful of times. Scout was my main go-to source for info though. Now - it's primarily just 247sports.
