So....this board seems to be filling up with members who are seeking a place to discuss the Wildcats in a positive way. My question is...what do you all want to see from this site? For example, would you enjoy a game day chat feature like we used to have at TBK? Want to have "Kersey's Contests" for each basketball game like we used to do? Game day feedback from KACAT? I'm just trying to gauge what we can do here to make this the most effective site possible. Thanks for your interest so far, and a special thanks to John aka Chingy who set up this new site. David

I think all of those sound great, and I noticed that a whole forum had been set up for 4BarCat's links, and I laughed out loud. Not in a bad way, more of "his links were about the only content on TBK" way

David I think all of these sound great. As a shot in the dark, you think we could have JAIDEN from TBK post over here? He said he could post generic information that he receives in regard to the basketball team over on TBK. And could we also have a recruiting forum for basketball and/or football? I hated how that feature of TBK was never updated.

I think Kersey's contest is a great idea.

I think this site needs to have some of the same type of rules for posters like respect for the team and each other as posters. These are just kids bringing us fans great entertainment. We should respect them and the coaches while having good conversations about it.

Great ideas guys. We definitely plan on implementing the same type of rules that applied in TBK as far as respecting the team and not allowing rants and bad posting.

Definitely want ALL of those things mentioned carried over to the new board.

Everything mentioned and a 4bar thread or page where all of his links are amassed if he doesn't mind doing it.

If we had the Kersey contests, what kind of reward could be offered to the winner? I'd be happy to continue in that tradition as long as there are Shastas in the refrigerator, which by the way is the most redundant term in the English language. One feature that set TBK apart was the "policing" of derogatory posts, and I think it should be continued here. What would be the policy on using swear words. To me, "dadgum" is as strong as I'd want to see, but that's just me.

A few things.
1. Anyone who wants to post "information" here can. We will not limit anyone in that category as long as they follow the usual rules, don't take someone else's information without linking to their post.
2. We still want people to respect the team, the players and other posters. This should be a friendly place to post and have discussions. We won't bite people's heads off for stating their opinions or generating conversation, with that said we still expect for people to be reasonable.
3. Language - we want this to be a site for everyone and family friendly. Language should be controlled, I'm sure we won't freak out over a cuss word but at the same time we will not let that get out of control either.

So you mean if we post an opinion that is fairly well reasoned, we won't be called idiots by you as you tell us how much more you know than us even if we played in college and coach?

Nope, but keep in mind when people post dumb things the members will call them on it. Members will also police other posters, so if someone posts something totally unreasonable I'm sure the posters will call them on it.

But you know where I'm coming from. I was with TBK from the start but didn't post a lot, but plan to be more active here. I appreciate all that you guys have done to create this place!
