Cougarboard Really Makes BYU/Mormons Easy Targets

Post by Italics »

between the gullible fans that believe every single "BYU to Big 12" rumor that comes out (despite all the proceeding ones always turning out to have been complete BS), the uptight "holier than thou" mormons, and the handfuls and handfuls of posters who can't tolerate even the most slightly negative or unflattering comment toward BYU without freaking out and calling you names, Cougarboard truly does produce a lot of embarrassing fans for BYU.

I really wish that when other college football fans searched for a BYU forum that cougarcorner would come up first. Heck, even cougarblue would be a more respectable representation...

That place is just sad, funny, embarassing, entertaining, etc...

Every team has their bad fans. We just know where ours are at.

If a BYU fan thinks there are no bad BYU fans that just means you are one of them!

Just like the saying goes if you are standing with 3 friends and the stats say 1 in 4 people is a complete moron and you can't figure out who in your group it is, then it's probably you!

I guess that means if I can't find any bad BYU fans on this board than I must be the bad one. :lol:

They have a lot more volume so that would explain why internet searches find it first.

They also have an AWFUL format for anyone interested in reading a thread like a conversation. A little AJAX could do them wonders as far as presentation. However, it would do nothing to help their content. ;)


If the yewts take the field and there are no BYU fans to pour beer on, will anybody come?

If my experience with various forums holds true, the popularity of Cougarboard is the REASON why it has so many stupid users. It's not necessarily a given that a small forum will have good users, but I guarantee that if CougarCorner came up first in the searches, we'd find ourselves drowning in idiotic, self-righteous, and flat-out awful users.

I agree with this. I think the best forums are the ones with a small enough community that everyone has a pretty good feel for each other. Any bigger than that, and you lose the ability for the users to somewhat self-regulate.

are you saying you miss the black helicopter, 9-11 conspiracy debates or debunking anything that came out of Airwolf's keyboard?
