Funny... I came to refer to those assholes PDay, Manster and the others on the Cowboys forum as "The Hitler youth". They fit the tenor of that toilet. Offering opinions that didn't meet their narrow perspectives ended up starting shitstorms. And I also recall any time a Redskin fan showed up with any comment at all those dicks would accuse that fan of trolling regardless of if it was a negative or positive point. What really sucked was how several of us worked our asses off helping locate old Fan Nation members and getting them over there, after which Hammer and his sycophants started banning guys like Sactown, Canuck, and some of my old buddies when they discovered the level of doochery that was taking place over there. Add to it the fact that they embraced suck asses like DJ and Outlaw (you would know him as Chewbaccer) and it became clear I had no business at that place. The shame is there are posters I genuinely like there (Dolemite, Mondo, WWJ and DebbieDoes to name a few) but they can have that dump. I left and haven't been back. No desire. bottom line - it going to take a hell of a lot more than a change in ownership to fix that mess. Outlaw aka Chewbaccer aka FN traitor. He talks a lot of shit on his old FN brethren for having never had an actual altercation. Yeah, Chewbaccer aka "Spudy" pretty much personifies the backwards/inbred/uneducated/bigoted/homophobic/misogenist/racist/xenophobic types that you'll surely encounter at that site. Was very difficult for me to post there and put up a good face with so many of those types running around. Used to want to save the Hoop from itself, but then I realized it was basically an alt right hate site posing as a sports message board. Then when I found out about their financial troubles, the decision to leave became too easy. |

I mainly stayed on the Doob Show threads because the rest of the Hoop reminded me of Stormfront or kkk.org. After a while, the KKK stuff spread to the rest of the Hoop and it became very easy for me to leave, even more so when I saw how much the value of their domain name & their ad revenues have decreased over the past year. I could tell that there was no future with the Hoop, and I was doing them a favor by posting there. Feel sorry for the new owner of the Hoop, gotta give Hammer props for finding such a sucker.

Did banners, Photoshop requests, even gave Hooplans a shoulder to cry on. After a while I realized it wasn't worth it if even the owner of the website let it go to hell. Really sad, they had a lot of potential to grow about 2 years ago, then they decided to alienate new posters & start promoting a troll culture. |

Kind of interesting, read a report that the profile of a Trump supporter goes as follows, -white supremacist -poorly educated -50 years of age or older -lives in the sticks Pretty much describes the typical poster on SportsHoopla. Kind of sad if you think about it, no wonder that place went downhill so fast. Although bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, racism, & xenophobia might be a good way to run a right wing political website, it's a stupid way to run a sports website. Surprised college football was so popular there considering most Hooplans never even went to college. Trump is going to win the election. He just got the black vote. All he had to do was tell an all white audience that black people are uneducated, unemployed, destitute and have nothing left to lose. Haha! It's almost like he's trying to sabotage his own campaign on a daily basis. |

But the WL boys gave him a thumbs up which was good enough for me. Then one of my buddies who still posts over there (no names as I won't put him under the microscope) said Outlaw called me a pussy. Dude barely knows my persona and makes a call like that. Whatever. Just another fucking tool in a tool box full of ill-fitting parts. I guess it comes with being a Braves fan. |

I didn't have a lot of interaction with him but he always struck me as a respectable guy with a lot of pride. However, I've got no respect for someone who trashes their old friends to win over some new ones. Not unless there was something he was personally involved in to merit his comments. And I can't recall anything like that. Therefore I regard him as a traitor until proven otherwise. Truth is, he relied on others. He wasn't that good. We're giving him too much credit. |

He used to post on the Doob Show thread and post videos about old country music, talk about how NASCAR tracks are ovals not circles, and give us play by play on how the Braves sucked. I usually ignored him & didn't even notice when he moved to the Night Shift thread. Then one day, Norka had a meltdown & out of nowhere he came to our forum to take Norka's side. Realized then then he was an opportunistic troll. Started paying attention to his posts after that and realized the guy is your stereotypical Trump supporter, -bigoted -homophobic -misogenistic -poorly educated -racist -xenophobic He fits in well on SportsHoopla & their echo chamber of ignorance. |

I never picked up on Poopla's alleged alt right leanings. Then again I'm white and wasn't there during the election cycle. I did however pick up on the fact that they were doucheholes in general. That much was pretty damn difficult to miss considering they wave it in your face within the first 5 or 10 posted comments. Bashing minorities, gays, & women was very common on SportsHoopla. Started when Hammer brought their Politics Forum to the top of the board. Got even worse when Trunp announced he was running for president. I tried to stay away from that stuff by staying on the Doob Show threads, but then this troll culture developed where if you weren't a bigot, homophobe, misogenist, racist, or xenophobe, you were considered a liberal and therefore the enemy. I was going to leave back in December, but then my Pens caught fire & I wanted to make the Pens board a banner in case we won the Stanley Cup. |

Still tho, at least Dole was funny, not hateful like most of them. |

There's a lot of that stuff in the most active thread on here and I really dont like it. I sure wont allow it to happen outside of that area which is why most of them just stay in there lol Google banned from hoopla or hoopla sucks and you'll see there are quite few little sites like this that agree with your assessment of them so there is obviously something to it and a market for an alternative... I have been trying to find someone that knows what they are doing to help me make something of this place- I am a Carpenter not a webmaster by any stretch(as you can probably tell lol)- but what I want is a fun friendly site...They keep calling this site a hoopla wanna be which is laughable. They have ripped so many of my ideas it's not funny and I am the exact opposite of Hammer. I do not troll my members then ban them(or have my goons ban them to be more accurate)when they give it back and I am as honest and upfront as anyone you'll meet. They keep calling me a liar but never give any examples of what I lied about because they can't give any examples. You can see in this thread I back up what I say with proof, they sling baseless accusations about me and the brain dead members over there believe it. Hell the FN guys here now heard all Hammers BS about me but I convinced them to see for themselves... This started as just a place for me and my CBS buds but Hammers baseless, constant bashing of me makes me want to give him a little competition( I don't believe he actually sold, if he says something it's most likely not true ) but it's hard to get these things going. I also dont have the time needed being in construction. And unlike how the Hoop got started, I didnt have much time to "recruit" from CBS, we were given no warning their boards were closing. And really I never wanted to have a site, but CBS went all robust or whatever out of the blue so I quickly set up a little free hosted site and told my buds to sign up. It was supposed to be just a temp thing until we found a new home...nobody would have us a group though so...here we are. We do get the traffic/visitors but since most stuff I have to keep hidden the place looks dead to potential newbs...so nobody signs up...frustrating because we have enough active posters here that if they actually posted more in the more visible areas we might get more going but I get little cooperation with that. So feel free to start threads and shit..have your show here lol I need stuff like that if we're going to get anywhere |

Not many of the originals left there either The main purpose of Hoopla is to establish & uphold a clique. The only reason they allow new members is to increase their views for advertising purposes. Otherwise ever new poster is accused of being a sock account for someone who was banned earlier. The other thing they like to do is promote "meltdowns" where some poster gets ganged up on. They tried to do that to me but I left by giving them negative ratings & posted their personal information so they wanted nothing to do with me. Like most bullies, they're not so tough when the person they go after proves that they could fight back. |

BTW, don't worry about giving them competition. If you do a Google search for the number of views, advertisement revenue, & the domain value, there has been a steady decline since last June. It's a miracle that Hammer was able to find a buyer for the site (guess there really is a sucker born every minute) because Hoopla is basically a hot potato for Ponzi schemers now.

I was long gone from that place when that went down. Not to mention google is pretty clear with their rules and they obviously violated them. No one to blame but themselves for whatever got them in trouble. |

I can also chip in on banners when i can. How has everyone been? I'd help post there too, but not at the ungodly hours you and Doob do, lol. |

lol they blamed me and "my guys" for google banning them. I was long gone from that place when that went down. Not to mention google is pretty clear with their rules and they obviously violated them. No one to blame but themselves for whatever got them in trouble. Do you have twitter for the site zig? @sportschatterer Sir |

If you ever need someone to work on banners, let me know. Makes the place look more spiffy. As far as I know about Hoopla's marketing strategy, they wait for other message boards to shutdown & aggressively recruit their members to join their site (that's why you'll notice that people who joine Hoopla do so in clusters). Their old marketing pitch was to be a place where "trolls are held at bay" but the past year the've done the opposite & let trolls take over. If you do complain about trolling, you are publicly shamed, thus enforcing the culture of trolling. The Doobs show redux would get some views. We already have quite a following. I can also chip in on banners when i can. How has everyone been? I would rather not do something like the Doob Show anymore. When we started that I was single & only working part time. Since then, I have way too many commitments to keep up with something like that. I will say that the prime of the Doob Show was when Hoopla was thriving. Once I started interest, Hoopla's numbers started going downhill. Not a coincidence at all. |

BTW, don't worry about giving them competition. If you do a Google search for the number of views, advertisement revenue, & the domain value, there has been a steady decline since last June. It's a miracle that Hammer was able to find a buyer for the site (guess there really is a sucker born every minute) because Hoopla is basically a hot potato for Ponzi schemers now. The Giants board is the one place I still visit. Bunch of good guys there. The main hockey board used to be amazing too. Bummer what happened to the place, but that's just my humble opinion. As for Hammer, I deserved my ban, and in fairness to him, with a little help from Calsnoskier, Hammer let me back in to post on the Giants board, no questions asked. Now, I just like both boards. Zig is a good dude, and even though we didn't always see eye to eye, Hammer was fair to me in the end. The politics board over there has always been a cesspool imhumbleo. |
