Interesting. So, for argument sake, if indeed recruits don't make their decisions to come to SU based upon this board, or any social media, and, the SU powers that be don't either, what does it truly matter then? Why the fuss? Perhaps, they know it's a fan forum, and most (if not all) fan forums act relatively in a similar manner and is foremost entertainment, etc.
Actually, from my experience, if there are differences relative to the vast majority of fan forums, it's in the way in which the administrators chose to moderate, censor, etc.
