Hello all. I started posting here in 2001as ADMIRALSTOCKDALE. I've enjoyed all of you and this was the only site I ever posted on up until about a year ago. At that time, it had gotten so slow around here that I went over to check out Hornsports.com. It was what this site would have been had evolved a bit technologically and maintained interest from the admin and community. If ths was the only place you ever felt comfortable you will enjoy HS as much if not more. I go by Brasky over ther and if you do go sign up go ahead and friend me. Oh, and I know a guy who knows the guy and it's going back to being free. Right now it's free for the message boards but the premium content is I think $5. But even thatis changing. It's a great place. When I resume posting it will be over there. I hope to see all of you there, even Texas Taps . It'll be fun to start fresh with old friends.
I looked at this site last night and just registered...just in case that is where most you go when or if this site shuts down.
I signed up. I'm having a weird issue on my blackberry (yes I'm the one who still buys a blackberry). It seems like the css from the site isn't recognized by my browser. Either that or its the worst web design in history. Anybody else having this issue?
I'll go over and give it a try if and only if hornfans shuts down. Still holding out hope. Was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor?
i look forward to seeing you there, taps. i'll even friend you. your assholiness is so misunderstood!
Wasn't really planning on joining another board, but I'll sure give it a look-see. I'll prolly be LonghornHeathen there
hope to see you there, Heathen. I know it seems like I must have some stake but the real reason is that it would be so much more enjoyable over there if you guys were there too. The inside jokes from here could live on!!!
Thanks for the invite. I will wait just like the end of the games to sing, The Eyes Of Texas to Horn fans first.
I'll keep in mind, but only if we're not able to step up and first preserve hornfans.com with existing users & threads.
Let me echo what the OP says. Hornsports is the only other board I visit, and I do so because the overall tone of the place does remind me of Horn Fans. I sent a PM to Robert the other night asking him if it was OK for me to mention HornSports to the posters here, given the circumstances. He had no problem with it, so if Horn Fans does indeed shut down, that's where I will be.
I'll surely go over there after I dry my tears T+1. I'll be Texanne over there as long as some ******* hasn't poached my name.
I will check it out - thanks. I will probably register as some version of Worster or I may throw caution to the wind and register as Campus Loopy!
That site is basically a ripoff of any Scout or Rivals board, but with worse writing and the same horrible interface. The layout looks like crap. The general message board doesn't need 10 ******* stickied posts pinned. That's absurd. For all the crap HornFans received, and it deserved almost all of it, the simple layout of this place has been one of its best properties. It has elegant color, easy to find links, and intuitive navigation. If "HornSports" becomes the alternative for the average hornfans poster then...yeesh. Good luck.
the board has undergone a few changes since i've been lurkig there and i think they're maybe doing more. onetime when i was on there the posters ased one of theadmin's to ad a feature and within a day it wasthere. it was pretty cool. maybe if you like the climate but not the feel you could recommend some changes! the people here seem to be loking more for a community of folks that conduct themselves a certain way and not so much the aesthetics (obviously!). of al the horn boards i've been to,hornsports is mos similar to hornfans.
