Yay! more services to buy

Not looking for utopia that means there is no dissenting views. I’m not looking for a sing along around the camp fire. Just lively discussion with more than one viewpoint represented without all the piling on that happens. It’s obvious that some people on here have deep seated resentment for each other. I admire you @approxinfinity for not following the common thread in media these days and censoring dissenting viewpoints. I just miss the days when there were lively basketball discussions well represented with differing opinions. I mean there is @kuballin10 but he generally only uses emotional appeal to support his argument and no one will help him in his positions right or wrong. There used to be some awesome support - I cannot remember who but a poster used to collect all the KU basketball headlines and collate them into a weekly (or was it more frequent?) post that folks would comment on - a KUSports hangover I guess. Then another poster used to post pictures about the visiting cities - famous folks, buildings, campus, etc. It’s been replaced by different threads started by us non journalists. The faces have changed and so has the content, I was just hopeful some of the original KUSports/KUBuckets crew was still lurking. Some are it seems (yay!), but not as many seem to be around as I had hoped.

Any ideas where the original KUBuckets/LJW crew went? I see a few remnants, but most have disappeared leaving a seeming more one sided group left to discuss with. I’d like to resurrect some of those old conversations, but it doesn’t work with the current cast. Where did you go?!? The perils of digital friends - here one day, gone tomorrow.

Just curious why a select few have disappeared. @Statmachine was entertaining. @KUSTEVE was a funny guy. @jaybate-1-0 made the site what it was then croaked when the new wave showed up. It’s just been a less interesting and more one sided evolution. There are many that have prevailed some that only talk in private chat as they are tired of the ridicule. Its just evolved into something more contentious, less introspective. Dumbed down if you will.

Yep its https://kubuckets.com but if you find another, let us know.

Noted. Message me in chat if there is a good one, I don’t think you would want all this company.

I wonder if there is a less polarized more balanced site for KU chat? Any suggestions?

@approxinfinity I’m not going to trash your board. Was just hoping some of the original posters would reach out in private, I doubt they’re going to reappear in the current environment.

@NotHim well i am curious what perspective you think is missing here.

Optimism.

@approxinfinity I understand your view and it is nice up top lookin down.
