Forum Decorum - A Friendly Note From Your VaPreps Publisher...

[matthew328826]

Due to some recent posts that were brought to my attention, I want to remind everyone to follow our Rivals.com Message Board Rules. We encourage all to post, but make sure you stay within the guidelines outlined below...

Rivals.com Message Board Rules

Additionally, I want to note that we will not tolerate name-calling, personal attacks, inappropriate language and bad behavior.

If you see something that appears questionable and possibly deleted, please simply hit the 'report' button. I'm also fine with you contacting me directly and I will try to tend to the matter as quickly as possible.

We're here to have fun talking High School Sports and this is a place where people should feel comfortable being able to interact with one another. This doesn't need to be a 'shouting match' or place for volatility.

Anyone with concerns, please feel free to contact me directly through private message and / or e-mail at hatfieldsports@gmail.com.

Thank you,

No worries, I've cancelled my Rivals/VaPreps subscription. I'm finding for myself that this isn't worth the $9.99/mo. Underwhelmed by this site and I have been a loyal customer for quite a few years now. I bid you all a farewell.... Go Springers! I'll catch up with them somewhere else!

Springer... wish you wouldn't leave but I certainly understand your feelings. No one wants to continuously be insulted.

If I can ask, maybe take a break and come back in a month. I always value your opinions and content as I believe most on the board do.

I'm all ears for what you would like to see us do better and can promise you that I'll make a conscious effort to make improvements.

But in the meantime, I thank you for your loyal support of the site over the years and hope you'll be back.

As a side note, we have seen an increase in viewership and subscriptions in recent months. I like to think that our hard-working team with Danny Lewis, Devin Payne, Robert Edmonds, Reese Becker, Rodney Young, Marsel T. Mason, Tyler Baines and Dan Trevino as well as recent new additions Jim McGrath and Aaron Moses give us the ability to provide the most comprehensive coverage of High School Sports in the state of VA anywhere.

However, we can always do better and certainly value the input of all of our readers and subscribers.

Got too much going on in my life as caregiver of my 95 year old mother with Alzhiemer's Disease. Recent death of my beloved pet. I spend most of my current life monitoring 24 hours a day that she stays safe and comfortable. All I know about other teams and what's going on in their programs (including Highland Springs HS) is what I hear or what has been sent to me to read. My mistake for repeating what I have learned. Apparently there are many more out there that know more than I do, so I give them the floor while I resign myself. I feel hurt, I am an emotional wreck right now, so I need separation from this sight which I have been a member for a long time. I will miss it, but will be better off staying out of high school football as for now.

I would like to ask for prayers for my very good friend Springers 76. His physical and emotional burden is down right suffocating. If ever a person needed our prayers and support, it is Springers. A finer man, I have never known.

So please, show your support by sending him a brief message. Show him that 99% of us that frequent this forum are decent, considerate people that love high school football, and show each other love and respect.

Thank you.
