Quote:I suspect that the board is slowly dying and probably won't be around much longer.  Efforts have been made by some of us including some mods and admins to reach out to the "powers that be" to come up with a solution.  I personally have emailed certain personnel within the Jaguars organization not only with the frustrating concerns regarding the message board, but also the security issues that I have seen regarding these problems.  I have received no response and would not be shocked if the plug is eventually pulled on the message board.

 

It's kind of sad and a shame when you have an owner and a front-office that touts that they want to "expand and make the 'fan experience' better", yet they neglect the one small part of the internet that is part of that.

 

While an internet message board is a small sliver of the "fan experience", it's actually a tool that they could use at very little cost to build up the fan base.  Remember, Jaguars fans aren't just in Duval county, they reside across the U.S. as well as in countries around the world.  Just take a look at some of the users here.  England, Ireland, countries in South America, etc.

 

Like it or not, much of what keeps this team here in Jacksonville is dependent on the international fan base.  It's why we have a "home game" in London every year.  The cost of fixing the problem is less than the cost to give the players Gatorade during off-season activities.

 

It's just my opinion, but the organization is really "dropping the ball" with this.  It''s kind of fitting actually...
