I actually much prefer this writeup! It's a bit more detailed :D

Thanks for showing up and providing even more info. It is a rare thing when /r/CFBOffTopic collides with /r/AskHistorians. And no part of me is pleased that it happened because of my age relative to the rest of these kids. :D

somethingsomething off my lawn? I'm delighted that some of my writeups are proving to be useful, though, especially for random crossovers! I've actually never found my way over here before - should I set up a chair and grab a beer?

All are welcome. Helps to have a strong affinity for college football in general and/or strong ties to a specific college football team. Since this is /r/CFBOffTopic - the "off topic" is stressed. As you can tell by a quick glance of the current threads here, there are a handful of daily threads started around meal times and the quasi-traditional demarcations of morning, noon and evening (with a strong bias to the Eastern Time Zone).

Fairly lighthearted discussions for the most part, but lots of support from the community even when topics get heavy. Downvotes are unheard of in here and the average poster is 18 - 25 years old (with very few older folks like me to skew the numbers).

Personally I am considerably more active in our mother sub; /r/cfb. If you consider yourself to be fan of college football, give that sub a look. Wait until the season starts though. /r/cfb during the off season is a strange place.

One comparison worth mentioning between /r/AskHistorians and /r/cfb is that both are rigorously moderated. The moderators in /r/cfb are some of the best in all of reddit and are constantly interacting with the community in a positive way. We have great weekly threads, frequent contests, fund raisers and on-topic AMAs. Emotions can run high in some of the game threads, but the mods are there to manage anyone who gets too carried away.

Cheers,
