REAL TALK WTF HAPPENED TO THIS SITE??

From a business standpoint, Pete should have merged both websites into one quality product that offers access to both recruiting and non recruiting forums. Could have charged half of what the competitors charge... lets say $6 bucks per month. By dedicating most of his time to one site, he risks losing his loyal base. Most people follow recruiting year round and imo that is where Pete's potential $$$ is at. The other material would serve as a bonus. Just my opinion, and not trying to tell Pete how to run his company. People want MORE content. Shouldn't split it up! You lose value that way.

Exactly. I've worked as web developer on two marketing teams for 2 years and the "call to action" (which is just a button that users click on to turn into a customer, like "Click Here to Sign Up") is very important. There are 0 on this site, and any new person that comes to this site will not hear about or know what OTH is for at least a few months. Horrible, horrible, horrible marketing. They need to hire a marketing staff.

****, even a donation link for cis would work. pete has certainly put in the legwork to be top dog for canes news, but the professional growth hasn't developed yet and that has shown a lot since oth became his priority. less attention to the eyes that he already has and being generally condescending towards anyone (poster or reporter) that has conflicting information isn't a good look, especially when it looks like he might have been dead wrong on the horse he's been riding strong for the better part of 2 years (jobe).

Despite less stories, interviews, etc., this site still ***** on the others.

Canesport/Rivals: lmao if people are paying them in 2017/2018. Gary Ferman is a joke and has been a joke for at least 5 years. Remember him giving Charles Robinson a forum to speak?

247/ITU: all access VIP might be worth it, but theirs ads make that site unbearable. Are the Miami site guys even Canes fans? David Lake might be, but Chris Stock isn't, and Ivins is a Notre Dame guy. Their boards suck ***.

Although ads might be hidden if you pay.
 
CIS was a stepping stool. He gave us a free site and in turn used it to build a following. Nobody owes anybody anything. Monetizing a website that is full of people posting about cucks, cranks, and bragging about premeditated assault on ND fans has a low ceiling.

Think you underestimate how much people enjoy the content about cucks, cranks, and especially premeditated assault on midwestern white folk
 
I get all my info from [MENTION=323]whoopingcane[/MENTION]'s daily PMs

should get on that list..

I think Pete is on some G-14 classified ishh right now. A lot of recruiting smoke form different commits and coaches about silent this and that. Radio silence and going dark usually means a big explosion is about to happen. I already have my popcorn bag ready in the microwave waiting to press start when the news breaks.

Ive never understoood the hate some here show towards Ivins. I like Pete but Ive always also seen Ivins as a reliable source for recruiting info. The only beef with him is he works for 247 and I absolutely hate their site. Its so riddled with ads that it crashes on my phone virtually every time im on it.

I just can't stand that all of the information is segmented and spread out over several pages to gather a ton of clicks

Well those type of people don't pay the bills. And advertisers don't want to be associated with them. Pretty simple. That'll always be a part of CFB forums, the free ones.
