Rivals
College recruiting & team forums
Rivals is a community focused mainly on college football and basketball recruiting. We designed hundreds of team-specific forum boards based on our theme framework and continue to manage the platform, ensuring extreme performance and stability at scale for this cornerstone, high-volume site.
"Yahoo has been working with Audentio for two years running and we couldn't be more impressed with their skills, professionalism and people. Message boards are the cornerstone of our high-volume site, and we rely heavily on Audentio's expertise with digital community platforms to offer a best-in-class user experience as well as extreme performance, speed and stability at scale. Every customization request we've thrown their way has been devoured and delivered with surprising speed. It has been one of the best developer relationships we've had in recent memory."
