Hello Gamecock fans!
A few hours (give or take) before kickoff, the football forum will be locked. At that point, the Gameday forum will be moved to the top of the list and opened for posting. That forum does not require visitors to register. In other words, other JSU fans who don't want to take the time to register, as well as visiting fans from rival schools, will be able to interact without having to set up a user account.
The football forum will remain locked for a couple of hours after the game, after which time the board posting and layout will return to its regularly scheduled layout and programming.
There are numerous reasons that this is a good idea. Interacting with rivals without forcing them to register is only one of them... it also provides a place for immediate reactions to be posted, and meltdowns to be contained if they happen. This is a similar format to what a particular fan forum from another school does. It worked well for them, and I thought it was a model worth copying.
So... in a few hours or so this forum will be locked. At that point feel free to carry on discussions using the gameday forum. For the hundreds of visitors we have who are unregistered, you guys are free to post on that forum without registering. If you decide to register at that point, welcome to the board!
We appreciate your continued support and as always, Go Gamecocks! Whup the Blazers!
