I agree.

Same.

This is good for general talk and a lot of other random things. I like that. It's fun to read some people and it sucks reading others (but I have gotten used to the "Add to Ignore List" feature -- really helpful!).
I don't think that Yappi, JJ, Rocket Corner, or even The Near Post have quite the talk that JJ used to have in regards to high school sports. They may for specific sports (like The Near Post is soccer only), but not what I am concerned with. Yappi is southwest Ohio only -- pretty much. Rocket Corner is northwest Ohio only -- pretty much. Southeastern Ohio Preps is obvious...and I haven't really liked that place ever. The Near Post is fun, but it's not nearly as participated in as JJ's soccer forums were. Then the MVL Forum is very limited to the MVL sports and participation has dropped a lot too -- I think many high schoolers don't know about it and some of these forums nowadays.
Forums are fun. I'll continue to be members of them. Just a way to keep up with some areas of Ohio that I may not be as familiar with. They were a lot of fun to read when I was in Kentucky and South Dakota for the last 6-7 years.
