Posting on Iowa board.

Are the Hawkeyes the only people who post on their site's open board? I checked the MI, tOSU and the Wisconsin boards and there is no one posting there.

Meaning, their Rivals boards are dead (no traffic), or are you talking about a lack of Iowa fans posting on those websites?

If you meant the former, then yeah, there's only a handful of "team" sites that are what I would consider very active. HR would be one of them.

We actually have one of the most active Wrestling and Off-Topic boards on a "team-based" site on Rivals (among other places as well, for that matter).

I posted on the Penn State not too long ago and got a response.... I was using a different ID though.... I have to use a new ID now because somebody banned me.

A big plus for Hawkeye Report is that Tom and Blair allow debate from fans of Iowa's rivals. That differs from other boards where you can get easily banned for posting a comment that may be true but doesn't digest well for the fans that frequent that board. Hawkeye Report allows a much longer leash. That is appreciated not just by Iowa fans but by visitors as well.

Some other sites, if a visitor breathes a word of criticism the board Gestapo bans him. Not on HR, The mods here seem to believe in free speech and difference of opinions, and not just from Iowa fans.

Nebraska is now, by far, the worst at not allowing any discussion that does not agree that the current Cornhuskers are the greatest ever to play college football. The mods over there have even thinner skins than Penn State does.

On some boards (UN) you can disagree with other fans if you are a fan of the home team and don't go too far. A visitor doesn't get that consideration. Fans of other schools post on Hawkeye Report and know a foe's opinion can be explained here. It must be refreshing for them to visit this site.

Just allows them to come over and heat up the discussion, knowing if we do the same on their site, their ban hammer gods (idiots without a clue) will banish us!

I really think Tom and Blair just don't care what gets said in the free board. If they did they would ask for a couple of posters to be Mods. Not a bad thing most of the time. A good MB is usually better with less restrictions on what's posted.

On some of the other sites postings have to be made in crayon.

I meant nobody posts on those sites period. You people are pretty active. I went and checked NE after the comments on this board.They also seem active.

I dunno, those Penn State guys can be pretty touchy (pun intended).
