LU1991 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 This message board has obviously grown in the past few months. Kudos to the moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NorthoftheBorder Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What's sad is the reason no one will post over here is because of the fear of being banished from the other site. Ridiculous if you ask me. In my opinion this site has surpassed the other sight (and should have since its only focus is LU) in Lamar information and that is a good thing and to be applauded. However, I have not experienced any issues with SETXSPORTS and I have been a regular for over 4 years with over a 1,000 posts. It is a good site that has always been more HS sports, especially football, than Lamar. But they are to be applauded as well for providing a forum for LU fans to communicate and exchange information. I do not know anyone over there personally, and have had a few terse exchanges with folks but that stemmed from HS rivalry, where things are probably the most heated.

Guest bigred360 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Glad to have you here North and agree they do a great job with their site and this site is growing daily. I believe we are the best site for information about Lamar University both with athletics and academics. SE Texas is big enough for both sites to prosper.

I do not know anyone over there personally, and have had a few terse exchanges with folks but that stemmed from HS rivalry, where things are probably the most heated. I agree with you 100% on just about everything you said North. This site has surpassed them on LU topics, they need to be applauded for work they have done and provided in HS sports, and there is room for both sites in the area. However, the only reason you can post over here now and not get any feedback from them is because BRI has grown to where they cant compete anymore. When this site first started members where being harassed for simply participating in this site. I know this for a fact! They can not stand BRI or any other local message board being in the area no matter what the topic of discussion is. They will harass anyone who attempts to start one and will harass any of its own members that participate. They will not rest until it is shut down or it takes off. Want proof? You said they need to be commended for their Lamar Forum also? BS! I know they have always had it up but go back and look when they really started pushing it. Go take a look at when the admins (I am sure I don't need to name them) started showing the most interest in the LU forum over there and started trying to push it! You will probably find it is about the same time BRI kicked off. They have a good group of members and for the most part a good group of moderators. The admins however are selfish and arrogant!

Guest CardAmbassador Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It's over, lets just forget about it. Neither site is going any where but up. On topic: There are still tons of new members who haven't posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVItom Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I agree. It seems to be over so far. I was just responding to where he quoted me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The admins however are selfish and arrogant! :whistle: Never had a problem with this site. Just had a problem with posting links to this site on ours without asking and for allowing the bashing of SETXsports and it's staff on the public forums here. That was never done over at SETXsports. Lamar should have it's own messageboard. As for me personally, I have been posting on the Lamar forum at SETXsports long before this site ever came along. My interest level has never changed. Avitom, you just seem to be a very bitter person and can't seem to get by your transgressions. As far as it being over, as long as you and others make defaming posts about SETXsports and it's staff, I'll always defend. Like I said, I am cool with the site, no problems on this end.

We'll try this again. Like I stated previously(don't know why it was deleted)I have no problem with this site and Lamar should have it's own messageboard. The problem I and other staff members of SETXsports had was with some of the folks here posting links to this site at SETXsports without permission to do so and making posts here in the open forums bashing SETXsports and it's staff members. As long as that is being done, I will defend. My personal interest for Lamar has not changed. I was posting on the Lamar Forum at SETXsports long before this site came along. Nothing has changed. I am cool with this site, no problem with me. But as far as it being over, as long as I see posts like the one I have quoted from Avitom, I will come to defend.

Guest bigred360 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I changed my mind. I'm not going to delete this message. You can defend your site and members but let's keep it professional by both parties. SETXsports is a great site for everything sports in this area and I believe this site is great for everything Lamar University related. Like I said before, this area is big enough for both sites to prosper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
