Hello everybody. There are a few things that are concerning me of late which is bringing this young growing forum down a notch. Infante brought this board together, to have a nicely presented forum for Cavalier fans to discuss the in and outs of their favorite basketball team. Unfortunately, a growing number of members have disrespected this, and in turn, making this forum a bit of a laughing stock amongst the serious Cavalier fans.
I have many fellow Cavalier fans who I speak to over the net who call other forums home, basically call our forum child's play. Sitting back and reading through the threads and I 100% agree with their perception. Posters here have taken this forum into some sort of chat room, where the basic objective is either to "own" someone or be the most witty. There are times when humor is a good backdrop to a post, but when the majority become more for entertainment and less for the boards good, then unfortunately Infantes hopes for a great Cavalier board are lost.
I understand alot of you like to fool around some, thats fine. Just leave that stuff for Eayor, whether it Cavs stuff or not. No one should go into the Cavaliers forum looking for a laugh. That can be a little bonus occasionally, but shouldn't be anyone's mindset. The Cavaliers forum is to discuss Cavalier issues. That to me doesn't come across as a time to joke.
Visitors are now coming here and getting a drift to the atmosphere of this forum. They see a forum where its all good to take the piss out of other members. They see a forum where it is ok to not discuss the subject at hand. This is why the majority of new members will be people who will continue this rot, and not right this ship. Why would a serious Cavalier fan who wants to talk Cavs post here? I am finding fewer reasons to come back here.
I am loyal to this board though and I hope most of you guys are too. If you are, you should feel partly responsible to getting this board moving forward and be the the best source of Cavalier discussion. I hope we can all take small steps to make this board great and realize that there are boundaries that have been set so that everyone can enjoy this place.
