My take on what happened is this - There were many technical issues with the board and some members actually emailed members of management. They became aware of our little world and annoyed that anybody would actually try to hold management accountable. One female in particular was offended by some content (it was not that bad) and then management decided it was not worth the trouble and as usual came up with a lame excuse. I might be wrong but I did see the entire thread and have some experience with corporate types. Welcome this board should be much better when most people find it and arrive for football season.
To be accurate, NO ONE (at least to my knowledge) actually emailed anyone at Halifax. It was all a joke.
Vulcan, in the past, when the GSMB had issues, all of Halifax Media's other cities sports forums had issues too. From time to time I visited a couple of those and got the same "Service" messages... The funny thing is, none of those other papers online sites have dedicated sports sites or forums anymore, with the exception of the Tuscaloosa News. However, the forum link on their sports site goes to the alabama.rivals.com site, rather than a Halifax Media hosted site. So this decision was indeed not one of posters on our forum creating an issue, but rather a business decision on Halifax's part to discontinue these forums...
