HN now offering premium membership for Troll Free Board

[Gunnerclone]

Am I the only one that thinks this will increase CF traffic by quite a bit?

Ultimate troll would be to make the in state rivals board only pay to play.

I don't mind hawk trolls... they are the best kind of trolls. Sure we get to hammer them back home now and then... but they are fun till that hammer is called.

Man, this is basically the equivalent of throwing a homeowners association fee at residents of a trailer park.

This is the leader in the clubhouse as 'post of the year.'

Very funny!

I like his list of benefits:

1. No trolls
2. No trolls
3. News
4. News
5. Unsubstantiated News

Not much of a list if you have to keep repeating yourself to have enough items to fill one hand.

No need to rush to any hasty, poorly thought-out conclusions.

I'm pretty sure it will be $500...every year.

This would be glorious.

But with a REALLY long string.

I get it there are ways. The problem is when Jon was in Iowa he didn't seem to have the inside sources and rarely set foot in Iowa City. Most of the time when you cover a team you should see them more than on TV. Maybe see your sources face to face from time to time.

As if HN wasn't already an echo chamber.

Question, though - how will all those taverners afford an HN membership on a McDonald's salary?

In all honestly, I'd gladly give Chris 20 bucks for a nice hawkeye-troll free board here.

I'll give him $25 to let us stay

Yo momma owes me $30 so I'll still have enough after that to buy a 2 fer 5 at Micky d's

Goddammit. I wanted that beer to stay in my mouth. Thanks ass.

I didn't read his write up closely but don't people over there know that if you want to get rid of trolls you can just ignore certain users?

No kidding. It's hilarious how he's trying to portray himself as some hero for finally allowing people to pay for a product they can already get for free.

Their "Rivalry Forum" consists of such threads as:

1. Maybe Cyclone Fans aren't as dumb as we thought....
2. Let's play... Cyclone Delusion!
3. Clowns drafted to NFL?
4. Pokes at clown game.
5. Clown grad transfers
6. Clowns getting help.
7. But Clowns attract the classiest coaches
8. ISBoo@Texas tonight
9. Clowns struggling

going troll-free seems to eliminate more than half of their fanbase

Iowa fans are kinda like...

Seems pretty stupid to create a forum within a forum. If successful, it will probably kill the main site, but I doubt if it will amount to anything.

If successful? The free site isn't even really successful, how will a pay forum be successful?
