From what I gather, the intent would be to keep things respectful and the language appropriate for women and children.

As for the religion aspect, it would be centered on Utah sports. Religion has a place in a rivalry such as this and there would be elements I imagine, but the thinking is that there are other venues for "apostates" such as that Jackass SeattleUte

to air opinions.

As I listened to the person explain things, I think it would cater generally to the Ute fan who is actually a Utah alum and has achieved some level of higher education. The reason that I like this idea is that many of the issues facing the athletic program are facing the university generally.

The idea would be to discuss things in a civilized manner.

Do you realize that those alum that have achieved some level of higher education probably don't claim to be Utes but rather Devry Grads.

UtePimp, count me in.

So Utes want a cougarboard? i.e. a moderated site?

Interesting.

MikeWaters · 04-09-2008, 10:02 PM

in a future version of vbulletin, i.e. in a few months I think, users can change the color of this website, according to their liking. So you can make this website red.

I think most sports-only forums are moderated. And this appears to be the case across both college and pro sports – wouldn't you agree?

I'm just pointing out the irony of the opposite process at CB

CB too moderated, then CG starts up as less moderated by a wide margin.

UF too unmoderated, then groups want to start a more moderated site.

I guess it's a reflection of the fan bases, and which philosophy the majority share.

Once a sports board, or pretty much any board for that matter, reaches a certain size, it has to be moderated, at least to an extent. See Usenet.
