What’s up, Demon fans. Excited to get this season rolling soon. Players report to camp in less than a month and kickoff is less than two months away!
In this dead period, I have been thinking.. What can be done to make this board more active? Is it solely contingent upon the success of the team? Do y’all think it’s lack of awareness?..Apathy?
I’ve visited a few other FCS message boards and they have exponentially more traffic than we get here. What are y’all’s thoughts?

I think it’s a combination of a lot of a few things but mostly hover around the stagnation of the athletic department as a whole in the past 15 years. I can remember the Delphi days when we would go back and forth with McNeese and there was some serious activity and traffic - but those were linked to all the schools in the southland you can jump team message boards easily using same username etc. We became more or less the doormat of the conference and felt like the athletic department and university as a whole were more worried about APR than winning games. Now that the school has leadership with a vision and things are starting to happen I think things will come back and interest will be renewed. We will see what happens on the football field this fall but I think some wins will bring back traffic. A lot SON and former players have interest and I have zero doubt would get involved on here again.

I don’t partake in social media, but maybe spreading the word on some former player Facebook groups or something like that wouldn’t hurt, i don’t think a lot of alumni and former players even know this is here.

All the remarks previously are valid. Winning will cure many ills. One other issue is cyber security. There have been some outside hacks in the past. It may have been addressed. The Demon true and faithful should try to entivce the conversation. I for one am excited about the new possibilities in all our varsity sports this season. FORK EM.
