Buzzworthy - Feature It!

Look, some of us are a bit worked up, to say the least,  about this new Beta site concerning Sawxheads and what might become of our beloved Sawxheads.com.  And, seems we may have good reason to be concerned.  But, please, nothing has happened yet.

 

Several "regular" type folks have already packed their bags and left, and many are threatening to do so.  Seems to me a little like the run on the bank in "It's a Wonderful Life" when Uncle Billy lost the bank deposit envelope.  Chaos!  Anarchy!!  The World is OVER!!! 

Look, if Sawxheads does turn into some lame site, we will just have to find somewhere else to get together.  Guess it's good for people to kick around ideas now, so in the event that Sawxheads goes dark one of these days, we will at least have a clue where to find people. 

 

I mean, I for one, have no interest in being part of a huge "fan" site, and like has been said, if I wanna know about another team I'll click my way over to that teams website.  Easy.

 

But, it is a business, and people who run a business for the most part sorta wanna make a couple of bucks.  It's that 'ol capitalism thing.  I mean, sh*&t, get it while it's good, many of us see the socialism train making it's way down the tracks.  But, I digress.

 

Stay cool everyone, it's out of our control.  We will adapt.  Crap, Cali and I have been IM'ing today for God Sakes -- It's a bonding experiment anyway!!

 

My overblown point is -- RELAX! 

 

Oh yeah -- LGRS!!

This current site has a personal feel to it when you come on. It invites you to interact with other Red Sox fans, which is why we all joined. The new site has stuff all over the homepage and is hard to follow at first. mainly because I'm familiar with this one. Kind of like going to the nice neighborhood hardware store, friendly, helpful and now it's a home depot, overwhleming.

Noone has taken away the Red Sox page. There are just other links to go to other team sites. If you don't care what is going on with the teams, don't click on their link. If you follow other sports teams then you don't have to search them out, just click. Seems kinda simple to me. I too have been here since the first summer and this is not the first time a change is put to the site, and I am sure that it won't be the last. If things are always the same, they lose their sparkle after a while. Do you eat plain lettuce everyday? or do you put dressing on it sometimes to give it a bit extra kick? ...View More

I hope that the peoples opinions that have made this place their "home" for Sox information will be heard and addressed before any major changes go through. I understand this is a business but its lasted this long, and now there are MORE ads than before so the profits have to be coming in from somewhere.

I wasnt aware that sawxheads would be morfing into a giant melting pot for all sports fans when I signed up. Most of you werent around but we already went through one large change to the site. That was a BETA version as well, I was envisioning GOOD changes to the site not an entire new site. I am not bogged down here, I have enjoyed every second that I have been associated with this site, but it is my choice (and many others from the responses) to walk away before before this site sells out! ...View More

Most people aren't getting the BETA concept. If you don't like the new changes this is when you voice your opinion, not abandon ship. They asked for BETA testers, people signed up. That means you are willing to try out the new site find what works and what does not, what you like or think they can change and improve and send feedback, that they can use to make adjustments, before they go public to everyone. ...View More

Sawxheads isn't going anywhere... The reason for a private beta is so that we can gather valuable feedback from our members. I have always been transparent with everyone on this site and we don't make any decisions without your guidance.

I agree with you 100% even if you wouldn't ever accept me as a freind.

true. i think this is a consice way to put it. sawxheads belongs to all fans of every boston team. there are the other links to the teams. this is the red sox site. we have the largest following of real fans there are. screw the fashion hat wearing yankee fans. that said. this site brought all of us together. i think if they want to contain the emobdiment of a red sox fan they will keep this site. let the new one proceed. but keep this one alive ...View More
