Someone posted here that the “other site” is successful because the style mimics Twitter allowing posters to make headling posts, snarky comments, without any intention of a discussion. I don’t have a Twitter account. I don’t have time or the interest to “follow” people on their Twitter accounts. Very few people are that important.
The other negative about that site is the Star popularity rankings. Who cares? Show me a poster with a bunch of red stars and I’ll show you a poster with a lot of time on his hands.
I enjoy an occasional discussion on Utah Athletics with knowledgeable fans. I could care less about BYU. I like this site and the level of posting activity does not bother me. I am not measured by the number of people who follow my posting.
