When we originally set out to rename the football message board a few weeks ago, the idea was that we'd still keep the three boards and the newly named one would be primarily football-focused. In the meantime, however, we've received a lot of feedback from both long-time subscribers and new subscribers. We've heard that increased quantity of message board posts is important, that it is somewhat difficult to find things in the forums, and that it's not as easy as it should be to find a place to comment on articles and/or converse with other Spartans during games/events.
To make things easier for everyone, effective Feb. 1, 2023, we'll be combining the three boards (Munn, Breslin, and the main board). Since the board won't be just football focused, we are going to forgo changing the name to the Woodshed and will instead continue to call it Spartans Illustrated Forum. We will still give away the Nudge Printing gift card (see below for details).
Once the boards are combined, we will implement a clear visual way to mark which posts are focused on football, basketball, hockey, and more. We will have labels for women's sports and Olympic sports and other improvements as well. This will allow all of us to stay in one spot and see what conversation is happening throughout the site without having to hop from board to board to board.
An important part of our mission here at Spartans Illustrated is to cover more than just the main revenue sports. By making this change, we will give subscribers and readers a better experience while also elevating our coverage/discussion of all MSU student-athletes.
The content on the other boards won't be deleted, but it will no longer be publicly visible as a result of the change. If there are any specific threads you would like brought over to the main board, please let us know by commenting below (be sure to include the link to the thread) - or just shoot me an email: SpartansIllustrated@gmail.com.
We also wanted to make sure that we still give away the Nudge Printing gift card as promised; so here's how you can win that ... click through to the MSU collection at https://www.nudgeprinting.com/collections/msu and tell us in this thread which article of clothing is your favorite. We'll pick a random winner from the replies and let you know.
While you are at it, feel free to give us any feedback or suggestions you may have. We appreciate all of your support.
