[quote=Blutarski][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to add, Potomac Soccer Wire had hosted a forum that was very very active but the level of snark is what I believe led to them pulling the plug.  [/quote]

I think we actually interacted with the guy who runs Potomac Soccer Wire early on in the VA travel soccer thread.  Many of us loved the discussion forum they had there years ago, and the move to allow only commenting on the articles they infrequently post probably helped a lot to drive the popularity of the soccer threads here on DCUM.  He was pretty defensive about the whole thing as I recall.

I think people could use talking-soccer for VA, DC and MD if they wanted.  For a long time the only active posts there were in the MA, FLA, CT and Oregon forums, but a bunch of people from NY and NJ who got sick of backofthenet moved over and started a decent NY thread.  I'm still not sure any of those offer a better platform than DCUM though.  If you like the SoCal boards (and you are welcome to talk about SoCal all you want as far as I'm concerned--that part of the country is a model we should pay attention to), I'd recommend that you just try posting topics that interest you here, and then just ignore anyone who wants to drag the discussion down to pedestrian levels.  There are more than a handful of serious and knowledgeable people here who you'd probably like interacting with.[/quote]

Apologies for resurrecting this thread... but the noise level in the soccer threads has reached an epidemic. In the faint hope that this might take hold, you can increase your chances of your post being read by using a username here. It's the anonymity that drives the noise level up. [/quote]
