  I put this under football where it’ll get viewed the most–I think i saw someone mention this earlier, but we should really get the word out about Ute Hub on social media like FB, twitter etc, so we can grow this into a vibrant community. It appears it’s off to a good start with defectors from ufn

  I hesitate to suggest it, but someone ought to reach out to the Ute fans that have made their home on Cougarboard. There are some strong Ute posters that didn’t connect with Utefans.net for whatever reason but that I think could contribute well here.

    I wouldn’t call many of us defectors. I think most of us hope UFN recovers and this site thrives as well. Hopefully they can compliment each other. If worse comes to worse though for UFN I think this site is a great landing place.

      Honestly, I’m with you here. I like Utefans, it just needs a new paint job.

      absolutely, ufn has it’s place in the market, and has been great, but as we all know has been stalled for sometime. I just think we should capitalize on the enthusiasm for this site as quickly as possible and really make it the “Hub” for all things Utes

      There is so much I really like about Utefans. As a donor I like how the feed reads, it is a lot more like how I use social media, I quickly scroll through it and read what I want and quickly scroll past the rest. Something this site doesn’t do yet. I also really enjoy the multi media functionality. Some of the posts would be average if not for the appropriately placed meme or video. It looks like that can be done here. Hell, I feel like I was in the first 100,000 views of a Gaghnam Style all because of Utefans. I know it is the community that makes a board and Utefans could be great but I’m also looking forward to what this may become.

    No, let those ute fans who post on cougarboard stay on cougarboard. As long as I’m here, mpfunk will not be joining this board.

      Moose you won’t be here long. You never are. MPFunk would be a great addition to this place.

      I agree. There is something clearly wrong with those people. For some reason they have the need to be validated by a bunch of arrogant asshats.

  I agree. Get a Facebook page up so we can all “like” it. Stuff like that will get the word out to more casual online fans.

  utefans will never return to its prime. its WELL past that stage. As much as i dislike BYU, cougarboard is one of the best message boards I have seen for opposing fanbases. My only hope is that utah can find one main message board for fans like cougarboard has. as of right now, online utah fans are far too splintered throughout the web.

  Why not judge merge the two sites into one? Wouldn’t that be easier?

  I appreciate all this discussion. I don’t want UFN to tank. I’d rather see it succeed. But being one who likes to do things myself, I thought it would be better to start something new and more modern, and better if possible. This is just the beginning for sure. I haven’t even touched any real custom functionality for the site yet.
  
  Thanks for posting on ute nation. I just joined it last night.

  Yeah, there are some solid Ute posters on CB that I would like to see make their way over here. The one good thing I will say for CB is that place is very active. So far this place has been really active which I am enjoying. It is great to see so many threads with so many posts. Let’s keep it rolling.

    They probably “moderated” it. Thanks for the effort. I come from the blogger mentality, where I scratch your back if you scratch mine. The forum mentality is so different.

  I don’t understand people trying to be nice and pretending like Utefans is going to survive, or magically stop sucking. It’s like a zombie website at this point. A new website rising up to take its place is looooooong overdue.

  This board already seems more active than ufn.

    Because it is more active, already. The trick will be to keep it that way. UB5 had an initial buzz as well. It is up to all of us to make Uterus a place worth coming back to.

  A cool way to get more people is to just try and invite X number of friends to join. You pick the number: 2, 5, 10.
