Quite a lively discussion you've started here, Ricky Bob. Maybe you and s3 should just text each other. No need to be such a d bag over 10 yr old soccer.

Let me spell it out for you like your (It's you're. ~1st grader) a 1st grader, you are what killed the board.  It's like an echo chamber. Every single thread in every age is littered with Meth head, BW, BBB, KC or you posting comments again and again and again.  Let it go.  If you have something relevant, let's hear it.  If not, shut the f* up and go spend some time with your family.

I feel the same way. Use to be able to come in here and get some valuable information. But it’s become a place to make people feel like idiots or just making stupid comments. Less and less real conversation and help. Haven’t seen near as much use of this sight than I did over a year ago. Sad. It use to be a great place to come and get some great information.

Agree completely, it's a shame and could easily be fixed, but the powers that be don't seem to care enough to change things.

In reading some of the recent posts, it is truly embarrassing that it has come to this. Gone are the days of go99, BW, Zizou, etc.

The likes of med man, big and little ern or whatever have taken their toll on the rest. I agree that the problem could be fixed if there was an active moderator, but alas, I do not own the board, nor would I ever want to. Anyways, even though my DD is still active, it is time to move on beyond the immaturity that this board has succumbed to. It sucks though. RIP Txsoccer.net

Any knucklehead can get on here and create several aliases and bring things to a skreetching halt. Which is exactly what has happened. Wasn't all the leagues alone that killed this board, it was also the anonymity.

I don't know about "no team" but to your point we played a team last week where there are really only 12 kids on the roster, yet 18 or so on the bench. On game day they shuffle as needed from DA and ECNL. I really feel for that manager having such a variable pool of parents and players to communicate with and organize on game days and tournaments.

"TOO MANY LEAGUES" is what killed the board.
We get our enjoyment from the Leagues being a "Play up or Play down" format (Rec to PPL...PPL to LH3...LH3 to LH2...LH2 to LH1...LH1 to ECNL).  The best teams always(for the most part) rose to the top and it was fun to watch which teams "rise and fall"

With TCL coming on (aka Money Grab), PrimeTime, NPL (the ugly, younger step sister to ECNL/DA that thinks because they travel they are revelant) and now DA (along with ECNL).....Nobody knows who is better, no team is ever a complete roster anymore to discuss "how" they won, not enough people watching those games or taking an active interest watching them.

People have given up any care they had on what they consider the best team/league.
