Well, seems that ya'll think that the HMG is using a thread or poster or two as a reason for shutting down the good ol GSMB. They couldn't care less about what someone posted in their forum as evidenced by their lack of participation in managing the board. The ol "C Ya Later" comment was just a ruse, a fake, a comment whose sole purpose was to take the heat off HMG about killing the forums. It wasn't really there pointing a finger at a specific post or posters. I'd bet you money that they never read a single post before killing it. Heck, if anything, it was GatorSidiot making weekly calls and sending daily emails to get reinstated to GSMB that caused it to be shut down. "We don't want that douchebag on the site... What can we do to keep him out of it? Oh, I know, we could close it!"
That makes much more sense than them killing an entire forum over a silly little thread that harmlessly poked fun at them. But it was handled unprofessionally if you ask me.

I couldn't agree more. If it was the content, you delete the thread and ban posters. You don't close down a forum with thousands of members.

I think we all agree they took the easy way out. The bright side is we still have a place to talk about our Gators (thanks to Ox) and there's no way they can pull the plug on this one. **** em!

[QUOTE='78;n1336]I probably wouldn't care much for being a sports writer nowadays. Half writer, half babysitter. What happened to the notion of being responsible for writing stories only?
I agree, a writer shouldn't have anything to do with policing the comments in his articles. Someone else should have that job.[/quote]Exactly, I suspect most of their "staff" are interns. UAA is exerting heavy influence over there also. It's all hand on deck to present the company line that the titanic isn't sinking.

Don't really care what the reason was. Let us just make this place even better.

Zach just posted this on his article. Sounds like he's towing the company line... "Posters like snowprint are the reason the GSMB was shut down. After receiving numerous complaints about him, I will be deleting any future comments he makes. I apologize for not having time in the past to monitor/delete his posts. I have also saved his IP address so he can’t use a different name. I’d like to take this time to remind everyone of our commenting guidelines: “Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive.” by Zach Abolverdi
I doubt it. I've never seen a coherent statement from snowrayster. Snowprint is coherent. Just a d-bag.

I had a hell of a time re-finding that picture of Charlton Heston making out with Whoopie Goldberg for my avatar. Close call, I almost opted for this instead:

Ox, I was just about to make a new thread before I read this one. Man, I didn't realize you had that many haters. They are calling you racist, douchebag and blaming you for shutting down GSMB. I tried to talk about how we were a family over on GSMB but nobody responded. Oh and it looks like GatorSidney is on swampgas with the name "irongator9." I mean nobody called GatorSidney "Lord Sid." Good job on the new board Ox.

I believe that was Canething, not sid. Possibly Quasi.

I saw you over there but I never registered after I read the commentary. Glad you found us and welcome home!

Glad you're here, Alpha. All the haters are DB's that Ox banned, and since he tolerates me and others, that clearly says something, doesn't it?
