Message Boards
Inside Carolina is nationally famous among sports fans and journalists for its message boards. On these boards, Carolina fans discuss the various college teams, and also shoot the breeze.
The message boards provide a public forum for discussion of controversies surrounding UNC sports. Most notably, rumors of widespread discontent with former head coach Matt Doherty were disseminated on the message boards throughout much of 2002 and 2003, long before such reports hit the mainstream media. Doherty resigned under pressure after the 2002-03 season.
The boards have also had a host of athletes, their parents, coaches and other figures in the world of high school recruiting posting on them.
Each message board branch has a respective Premium version, available to paid subscribers of the IC/Scout.com website. The various message boards include UNC Basketball, UNC Baseball and other UNC Sports, and the UNC Ticket Exchange. In addition to this is The Tar Pit, designated for UNC Football discussion, and the ZiggaZoomba Lounge, an off-topic board for discussions not relating to UNC Sports. The message boards themselves are moderated by staff and volunteers.
An offshoot of the message boards, live moderated chats are run for each Carolina basketball and football game, recruiting updates and other events.
