The early days of the board were like that...


A group of people that just loved talking about VT and VT sports. It was always about fandom and fun and enjoying each others' company in local TSL/Hokie Central gatherings. The bile and poison were virtually nonexistent except for the occasional knucklehead.

Somewhere along the way VT's success started bringing in a different element - one that, instead of celebrating our successes, decided that Tech OWED them more. They brought with them a sense of entitlement that Hokie athletes and coaches were entirely beholden to their expectations, and that they had free reign to lay their vitriol on those athletes for not meeting their personal standards.

They also projected that sense of entitlement toward other VT fans who didn't necessarily view college athletics as a driving force in their own lives, often serving out heavy doses of belittlement and hostility on their fellow Hokies. It just is what it is. There are plenty of people around who are so insecure and unsatisfied in their own lives that they feel a need to share their unhappiness with everyone else.
