Use this topic to praise anything that you happen to like. I expect this topic to be pretty baron, but that's alright.

So far this is a lot easier to use than the old one.

Definitely. Scout was so cumbersome. That's why I was always complaining about it! :)

It's change, and change can be good. As it is, the Colts themselves are going through some major changes, so this is probably as good a time as any to do this.

Second, the board is not owned by some huge sports entity/network and that is a plus. It's just like the old CP with ET. Man, I miss those days. So hopefully, this can bring that atmosphere back.

Thanks for your kind words, everybody. I am just the guy with access. I want everyone to feel like it is their board, too, and that you all know that you have a say in what goes on here.

I agree with you, 45 is doing a good job and I appreciate the time he is putting into this project! My office is dusty too... :-/

I agree. Now is a good time to make a move and usher in a new era... with the same ol' flavor! Hoping the gang agrees and makes the move. :)

I already commented about it in a thread, but love that you can just dump links in and the site will hyperlink so you don't have to.

It's fun! The old board kinda lost that over the years, IMO so I always lurked and looked after the scout transition. Stopped posting after awhile. Here and there, I did. Some of that had to do with having a child and all, but not all. This seems more interactive and has the community feel of the old Coltpower, IMO. I like it. Nice work!!!

I just joined and I keep seeing mention of "scout" what or who was this unpopular person or thing that annoyed everyone enough to leave??
As for the original question, I like the lack of shall we say, childish behavior that makes a board less friendly. I like what I've seen so far.

Scout.com was the site where our board was hosted. They kind of abandoned us, so we bailed on them.

How did you find this board?

I made a post on another Colts site that my previous 2 fan boards had been shut down and didn't really care for the tone on the one left because it was too arguementative and many posters thrived on criticising others.
One of your members here had read some of my posts there and pm'ed me with the teaser that this board was more like sitting at the grown ups table conversationally so I lurked for a day or two then signed up!

Anyway, so far so good and I hope to get to know folks here between now and kick off in the fall!

I love that if you finish a post and another thought pops into your head but you already posted. So you post again it automaticly merges the 2 posts. Keeps post count down but cleans up the board.

I like the democratic atmosphere (in the apolitical sense of the word).

Also like that you can see important notices at top of board like the current contest that you would not know about if all you do is go right into 12th man.
