It was a way to weed out the trolls and such.

Yea I can definitely see that. For new people especially, a way to know the ones to actually listen to.
He needs to get on the ball.. lol I’m out of the loop without him posting where I work so much.
The Lair has never been super high volume. I also think the low expectations of the season and Stoops fatigue are contributing. If we lose to Toledo I can assure you it will be hopping on there for all the wrong reasons.
Shannon terry is already in the process of creating “on247rivals3.” It’s a brilliant move where he will buy on3/rivals and transform it to the same crap as it was.
That’s because we haven’t lost any games yet! Just wait
I felt the same. Even in the offseason there were people posting.
It's slow everywhere.. I'll shamelessly plug my discord - https://discord.gg/2ytf6pQm
But yes once the merger started people fractured into multiple sites. It's really making a long off-season even slower due the split.
I've kinda already dropped going to WN and I'm on discord and here.

Almost the same here. I did get my old user name but nothing else. Was a member of RR since around 2003 with over 24,000 posts and around 13,000 reactions and they tell me they're working on getting them on my account. That was many weeks ago and nothing has happened. Poor site change and I rarely come on here any more like I did on the old board. Just not the same.
Anything touched by Matt Jones goes to sh*t. It's a pain in the *** to log in now, and the site is just junk. Thank goodness for adblockers that work because this thing was LOADED with ads when I first logged on.
Just since typing this post my adblocker has blocked 136 ads.

I get ad banners on the bottom, popups blocked on the top and occasionally it tries to start a virus scan of my iPad from the on3 site. It’s becoming very annoying using this site.
That’s odd that some are having screen issues. I have found it (on iPad) better than previous board. On th previous board my typing which isn’t fast would be 10-15 characters ahead and this would be aggravated by constant refreshes that would not contain what I had typed or when it was found it would not be complete because of its slow speed. I have encountered none of that on this current board. I don’t have many ads either, just a small ribbon on bottom that I just ignore.
Personally, I spent years and thousands of posts making sure I ruined my reputation on that old board and neither my username nor anything else transferred over. And now I have to do all that work again. It's just annoying.
On3 Basketball is run by a South Carolina homer named Jamie Shaw. A lot of people don't want to put money in his pocket, so they are just avoiding On3.
Honestly Rupps Rafters seemed to be slowing down before the migration and the move certainly didn't help.
Message boards in general seem to trend older. The younger fans are on more current forms of social media.

I'm an older guy, so what's a more current form of social media that has Kentucky sports on it?
Summer always slows down but it’s been even slower than usual since on3 killed the Rivals site. We will know if it’s legitimately dead when the season starts by how the traffic is. I suspect it picks up but is nowhere near what it was on Rivals. Feels like many went elsewhere when Rivals was killed.
