Last I checked, they hadn't had a single post over there in over two weeks.
Well, they have, but they were posts written in Korean, and have since been deleted...

I actually think I contributed to the murder of that board. I complained to the Sun about Orange54 and Alvin flooding the board with Vol topics (and Orange being, generally, a complete douche in every sense of the word) quite a while back, maybe 9-12 months ago? I then PMed a few of the regulars on there and encouraged them to do the same. We received a (surprisingly) quick response from a Sun editor saying how they were going to look into it and fix some things. A few days later there was a mod reprimanding orange and alvin and shutting their BS posts down. And then a couple of weeks after that they changed it to a new horrible format (the one it is currently), and we had to remake our accounts, which is when just about everyone, including me, stopped posting.
In a way, I think that Alvin and Orange are what really led to the format changes that killed that board (although it had been nearly dead for quite a while). They couldn't keep the rivalry posts to light-harded jabbing, because deep down, they really did, truly, hate the gators. Quite sad really. You would think they would be proud to shut that board down, but we all know better. They are sobbing that they can't continue to fight their insecurities on gatorsports message board. I'm sure they found another obscure gator board somewhere to pound their non-existent chests.
That is my boring history of my contribution to the death of gsmb.

I would have thought that was obvious well before you guys had to email anyone. There were only about 7 or 8 guys actively participating at that time. Who wants to be part of a board with no participation?I was there when that went down and participated in the emails.
This place is better. Its not close.

You should have seen the GSMB prior to June of 2014....it was one crazy place with thousands of members.I left swampgas and wandered over to GSMB looking for a home unaware of any of its history. The mods were active once we complained and did try to make changes. I guess too much had happened in the past. Hung around about 6 months then made my way over to here.
Yeah, there were hundreds of posts per day.You should have seen the GSMB prior to June of 2014....it was one crazy place with thousands of members.
Its cute you think that board died 9 months ago. Try 4-5 years ago.I actually think I contributed to the murder of that board.

Some guy named "ProudPoppa" just posted on that board in response to Dooley. I think this was the guy who was a personal friend of SAS at one point, but I'm not sure. Here is a screenshot:

Yeah, old news. Good luck with the few remaining weirdos over there. I've tried many times, but they refuse to leave for reasons I'll never understand.

OX, you know that I would be in a NO WIN situation even if I tried honestly to be "specific" concerning the way the gsmb is being run. Actually, I think I have been a little too critical of YOU as a moderator. I think you are trying to do the job the best you can. But that it should be shared equally with the other moderators. (DO we really have OTHER moderators any more??????????? I'm definitely NOT here to bring the WARCHANT philosophy to the gsmb. However, I do believe some think that is my basic goal. If that were the case, I'd be over at WARCHANT full time.
Unfortunately for some of the new-bies, I'll never be able to leave the "Troll-Status" here, so I'm going to give up trying to change that image. The main philosophy now is, rivals on the board are to be considered ONLY guests. And fans from uf, a free-reign status of being able to say and do whatever they please. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, have YOU corrected any O & B fan since YOU were placed on the throne? I don't think so. And, I really don't care to start a "Pissing War" concerning this.
Again, I think I have possibly misjudged you on several counts. Nevertheless, it's when YOU become slightly one-sided on the gsmb and not have the "balls" to stand up for ALL posters. I'm definitely NOT perfect with my posts, and have deserved some of the vacations. Yet, I believe others on the gsmb should have been given adequate warnings, at times, for their negative behavior.
I guess, I expected way too much thinking you'd be a good ref with all members on this board. I think you'd be just fine having a 100% gator attended chorus here. That's OK, but that's NOT what is posted on the HOME page for the GSMB. I don't think I should go any further with this. Lets just say that the OTHER MODERATORS either don't exist, or THEY SHOULD be given the AXE or HOOK, as they say in my profession, here!
