Is There Nothing Left to Say?

Except when I’ve been on vacation or traveling for business, I’ve always made an effort to post regularly on Caste Football for going on 21 years now. Not as some sort of labor or unpaid job but because I’ve always enjoyed doing so. But lately I don’t even like coming here because it’s so dead most of the time.

This is a discussion forum but apparently there’s very little left to discuss. Strange, because the Caste System hasn’t disappeared, and strange because the onset of the second Trump administration has lifted a lot of the repercussions and censorship that existed during the Biden Cabal when it came to talking openly about racial issues. This is the best time and potentially most fertile time to be exposing the Caste System that’s existed since CF began in 2004.

I appreciate the few members who still contribute regularly, but five or ten posts a day for a discussion forum doesn’t cut it. It’s embarrassing. We’ve gone into a downward spiral and now most registered posters come here to lurk rather than contribute. Posters that used to post hundreds of times a year now post very irregularly or not at all, though they do show up to lurk.

The lack of new posters certainly has taken a toll as attrition over time is unavoidable and I don’t see the search engines getting any better when it comes to pretending Caste Football doesn’t exist. It’s been an ongoing problem for a long time now. And the fairly widespread attention the articles Leonardfan and I wrote on the recent NFL Draft received on two large pro-White sites and elsewhere didn’t result in any new posters, which is disappointing.

And when we do get promising new posters, most inexplicably quickly disappear even though they are welcomed and encouraged. Then there are other new posters I see on the site who never post, not even a single time. I just don’t get the reluctance to contribute that has characterized many CF members from the beginning and we’re now at the point where the forum is barely viable.

Maybe the potential universe of knowledgeable posters on the subjects we discuss is now very small. But if that’s the case it’s important that the ones we do have increase their efforts rather than give up.

To me there has been and always will be an endless amount of things to write about, from individual athletes and teams to the racial dynamics that categorize sports and the physical side of life and every other aspect of American life and which we are the only ones to address from a pro-White perspective when it comes to sports and athleticism.

Just about everyone lives in or near a major market. I always try to contribute local knowledge about the Steelers and Penguins (I follow the Pirates now on a very casual basis at best), but how many other posters do the same when it comes to their market? Try and think of yourself as a local reporter who keeps us informed on what’s going on in your location that we probably wouldn’t know otherwise.

It should be obvious that more posting is needed. I haven’t asked for any financial help for many years now, ever since CF finally got stabilized and running smoothly after way too many years of hacks and incompetent webmasters.

Is it really that difficult to make an effort, a commitment, to post and contribute, and not just once every great once in a while but regularly? Aren’t we supposed to represent a vanguard, spreading the truth about a very important and vital subject that desperately needs to be better understood? Instead, we are letting a one-of-a-kind site wither away.

I get that sometimes familiarity breeds contempt and the occasional brouhaha erupts, but for the most part this has been a civil and congenial place through the years. I don’t want to discontinue Caste Football, but if the best our combined efforts can come up with continues to be only a handful of posts a day, then defeat must eventually be acknowledged, not through the efforts of our enemies but as a self-inflicted one.

Sinn Fein, Ourselves Alone!

Hello, this only my second comment here, but since it indeed feels empty in here when I regularly check for new content, I feel like I ought to answer to your well-crafted post.

I started reading this forum a few years ago, and only created an account a year ago. I definitely appreciate the content you, Leonardfan, White Lightning, Bucky and others post, and it has informed me greatly on the subject which I was only vaguely aware of beforehand, namely anti-White discrimination in sports, especially in the US. I think it is, like you said, the lack of knowledgeable posters among those who read, and even moreso the lack of those are passionate and knowledgeable, that reduces activity. Reading your post I can tell that you obviously care very deeply about this forum, and rightly so: it is a very well constructed website, with very large archives of information, discussion, and updates on the "Caste" system, unique (I'm sure) in it's content, as most such discussion is censored or hidden in private conversations.

I for one, am an European, who has quite limited interest in American football, so whenever I do read the forum (and even though CF sparked an interest to learn about the game, and understand it's intricacies), I often feel like I can't meaningfully contribute, since most of the active posters are passionate fans of the game, while I'm a very casual fan. Furthermore, as in any Internet forum, it often feels very much like a closed group, as forums all have their own etiquettes, histories, friend groups and sometimes not apparent rules, which why I personally, and probably others as well, are shy to post, even when they have something relevant to say; especially in a site as well crafted as this one, which people like you clearly put lots of effort into. I know there are discussions on other sports here as well, like association football which I do follow, but since the discussion is naturally dominated by the few very active regulars, I shy away from contributing. I never thought about why exactly that was, but I think it's because I'm a bit shy (most people are to some degree), and am worried that what I post won't be of any use, won't be interacted with, and might be ridiculed or awkward to other readers. I now realise that this is actually very silly: what is there for me to lose, exactly, and why should I not be as competent as a random American?

For now, I will amend my ways. Though I make no promises (not that you could hold me to any, but I don't want you to be disappointed, Don), I will try to post actively, whenever I feel like I can contribute. Now, that doesn't mean that I'll clutter every thread with uninformed garbage, but I realise that since discussion and a sense of active userbase is what keeps other readers (many of whom might be far better informed than I am) on the site, and encourages them to post themselves, I won't be as hesitant. If I don't fully understand something, and feel like I could contribute if I did (for example, in the yearly assessments of college football teams' racial compositions, which I would indeed like to help with in some way, but don't know where to look up relevant information from and how to exactly format it), I'll be sure to ask! And so what if the worst happens: people are mean and call me an idiot? I'll just **** off in that case. Not that I think that's likely, actually all regular contributors seem like friendly people, who care about sports and politics.

Please do keep up your good work as an administrator and contributor, many people appreaciate it! As for the site, I don't really know what you could do to help activity, except perhaps promote and transfer some content to social media? I know you and others have probably considered it already, or are doing that, but that's all I can offer. Love you Don!

Welcome to the board Flying Finn! Spread the word everywhere you can. White pride worldwide. We have to come together regardless of what countries we live in. If people haven't woke up yet then they will most likely never wake up. The time is now!

welcome FlyingFinn! The more new people we can get on here the better. I mostly post in track and football forums but I have learned alot about baseball, about the status of whites in South Africa and world wide generally. I no longer sit back and "take it", I fight back along with my 3 daughters who are solid and pro white. My 3 grandkids are blue eyed blondes (2 boys, 1 girl) and are not being raised as simps....

Welcome to CF Flying Finn!
Don, I don't have much of an excuse for not posting as much lately other than very busy working, college graduation of my last child, and I played in a weekend long golf tournament. I've also been on a well needed vacation with my wife. All of this over the last 6-8 weeks. Although football news can be kind of slow right now, I normally post more on the baseball thread this time of year. I have been wanting to post about all the young MLB talent right now, but just haven't got to it yet. Football should be picking up soon with the college football write ups coming soon and then another NFL season.
I have noticed the slow down as well and will do my best to begin posting more again. I look forward to assisting with the college football reviews.

I also desire to post more often. From a sports viewpoint, this time of year is slow. NBA doesn’t have many whites left. MLB isn’t my forte and Trout being hurt again hurts discussion as tracking his all-time status is enjoyable.

I rather enjoy the forums outside of sports but they are not very busy. I will work on posting more content there.

I’ve been here for quite a while, but admittedly my posting is irregular. I usually follow the track and field forum since I have always enjoyed watching sprints all the way up to about the mile. I will just be honest, I don't have much interest in sports anymore. I’ve tried to stay up with it but I just have a lot of other interests that come first. I lurk here every day but don’t post a lot. Maybe I’ll try to post 5 times per day or something like that just to help with creating traffic.

I’ve noticed it’s particularly dead right now, but it’s offseason. I have almost nothing I care to share at the moment. Free agent signings, roster cuts, and draft related content is about the only thing during the off season that interests me, and free agency is a few weeks frenzy, and the draft is a few days. Aside from that, not much for me personally to post about. Same with college football, everybody’s signed, not much happening aside from spring practice news.

I think a lot of guys here are like me and will ramp up post production 10,000x come the start of the season.

Of course there’s other sports and content to talk about, but the whites I root for in the NBA are out of the playoffs and hardly care about other sports.

In addition to what others have mentioned, all internet forums are or have experienced the same attrition you're describing. Discussions occur on Reddit or in comment sections now. Before joining this forum, which serves a very specific niche that likely won't be platformed anywhere else, I hadn't joined a forum in over a decade. Modern internet users are conditioned to act as consumers, not producers, and you can see this dynamic play out on Facebook and Instagram as well - both platforms initially existed to share photos and life updates with friends, but have since been reduced to algorithmic content delivery systems.

I made a conscious effort to have quality over quantity as I have less time to post due to various things in my life. But if you aren't a baseball fan and don't care for basketball playoffs or hockey it's thread bare sports posting at the moment.

It seems like a few political posters have become dormant or post so infrequently they might as well be dormant so the political forum isn't that active.

I agree with what others have said. Dead time of year for sports, especially when there’s racial dynamics at play. Hockey is a great sport, but any team is a fine one for supporting White athletes. The final 4 NBA teams it’s the opposite. Too few Whites for most to care. Golf and tennis have never had too much activity. And I’d love for our soccer (football) forum to be more active, as I enjoy the discussion especially when it comes to White athletes fighting their replacement on European club and country squads. We used to have some great posters who were experts but they are long gone. Maybe FlyingFinn you could revive interest there?

I think it's a great time of the year for sports. Playoffs in hockey and basketball, the four majors underway in golf and tennis, baseball in mid-season, and the NFL is a year-round product whether we like it or not.

I posted four articles in the NFL team forums last night, along with one about the WNBA and its racism in the Caitlin Clark thread. Could easily have posted more. They generated one response. The fact is there are many things to post about, even if it's just updates on players we root for.

There's no shortage of excuses or rationalizations. It's a matter of having the will and the motivation to make an effort to contribute, especially when CF is super-slow. All I know is that if I continue to have conversations here mainly with myself, I'll find better ways to spend my time.

CF and what I glean from Clay Travis' X feed plus a few from Whitlock that the algorithm on X pushes to me is all the sports news I expend any energy on. I will maintain that once we as a people learn that yes we can be for ourselves things will freshen up to include this site. Till then it's basic conservatism for a good portion of the content, the cargo cult of complaints and follow up with the usual virtue and principles cope.
