Judging by his traffic he is done. Parents and coaches know the site has devolved into the Jerry Springer show of soccer and avoid it. He has nobody but himself to blame for its decline.
But in general it's all "KK this and Gottschee that, etc. etc." Playground name-calling.
Where the heck to get the data to say that botn's traffic is down? He may be doing just fine catering to the hecklers out there.

There's been some financial info that I found valuable and stuff about colleges and the probabilities of getting money, etc.

Look at the volume of posts and compare that to a few years ago. Even mid-season it is down to a trickle mist days.

That's why we are all here and it will continue to grow. We don't have to agree or line up with Larry's narrative.
What value does BOTN really have left? Volume way down from years ago while more kids playing soccer in our area. He demonstrated clearly he can kill soccer programs like Surf on LI.
He has killed tournaments then after the check clears turns around and blames the host for poor turnout.
Anyone that has followed it over the years has seen its decline first hand.

Only a few states see decent traffic. The majority as dead. Varies by stat I supposed depending on how crazy the local soccer culture is there and what other sites are available,. Are there any other sites for this area besides the rapidly declining BOTN?

This site is supposed to be the alternative to BOTN

I don't want it to compete. I want an alternative. Competition is good
I would like a place where I can discuss soccer and not get screened out because my post may disagree with Larrys point of view or his advertiser POV.
I would like a place where we actually talk about soccer and not belittle other youth teams and players
I would like a site without the vulgarity of BOTN
To accomplish all of these things we need posters who regularly post. so let's start posting.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBotN is so boring. I don't think anyone goes on there nearly as much as they use to. People really were turned off by the whole Surf thing. It was and is such a joke. They are just another club full of part time coaches that will not come close to getting DA or ECNL, regardless of what they telling people...or Larry is telling you. SUSA and KK parents are besides themselves and now hate that website and Larry. They use to have a good relationship. That's gone.
Just Keep it positive and it will be good

You know that page views are way done. A million please
Go back to smoking the whacky tobacco
