I read an article on GatorSports and then commented.....

[Double Gator Dad]

In a weak moment I lost my rational mind and read an article on Gator Sports. This was a dumb mistake in itself but then followed it with a comment that strayed from the standard position of the minions.

I was attacked by several folks over there, probably Dooley and Andreu and some of their relatives, even though what I said was relatively benign.

I would like to blame them but it was my fault for being an idiot and clicking on the article.
I now remember why I never go to that site.

Lesson learned.

If you play with shat, you’ll end up smelling like shat.

There were three posters online at the same time? That must be a new high watermark at GSMB.

Willing to bet journalism interns at the Sun are running multiple accounts to give the appearance of life over there.

I believe he's talking about the comment section on an article, not the board. Was just over there and there hasn't been a single post on the board for well over a week. It's deceased.

I agree the forum is dead. It wouldn't surprise me if there were interns propping up the 'articles' with comments of support under alias accounts.

I was somewhat active over there for a while. My interest started to fade starting with the Muschamp days. Got really sick of Caine ..... and/or Alvin. Put me off message boards for years. I'm still in recovery. Glad I found this place.

You would have thought they'd be able to generate some mojo post-disuptive. Zilch. The worst time to try and rebuild from scratch is while UF football is in a decade-long funk.

Well, they did it to themselves.

Well, they did it to themselves.

Can't find any fault in this statement....

 

[78]

Well, they did it to themselves.

Didn't they? As arrogantly and self-righteous as they could with the public dis of the Halifax thread when the real message was the inexplicable neglect of their own sports forum.

 

[deuce]

Good rule of thumb, don't compound an error by publicizing that error!

That's like giving someone a bat and saying, Hit me!

 

[bradgator2]

Well, they did it to themselves.

Damn straight.

 

[78]

Damn straight.

You be bad.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Damn straight.

Correct, I was commenting on an article. My mistake was reading an article on the site to begin with.

I haven't visited that forum in a long long time. I wasn't even sure it still existed.

I don't know how to break this to you guys, but they really don't care. They're probably sitting around sharing a bag of Doritos and decide they'd better look busy, so they post something on the piece of **** they already destroyed.

They can't possibly think that its worth posting anything. They can't be that stupid can they?

On second thought.

 

[Alumni Guy]

When they suspended the forum for being butt-hurt is what got me.

The thought by cutting us off, we'd come crawling back to them, hat in hand, waiting for the opportunity to post on their boards.

Typical corporate arrogance: you gotta respect the customers or they leave. They didn't - we left.
