With a heavy heart, I have to tell you that Gatorsports.com has made me an offer I can't refuse

I can't imagine this going over very well, but it has to be put out there. I was approached recently by ownership of the Gainesville Sun, who of course controls Gatorsports.com. Evidently they have crunched some numbers and want their forum back. They made me an offer that frankly surprised me.

Broadly, the deal entails Gatorchatter and it's content being absorbed back into the GSMB, using their existing software. That means that the GCMB would no longer exist, and everyone here will be back on the GSMB. There are going to be some people that leave and they understand that. I asked if I could at least be a moderator back there again, and they are going to stick with it being employee managed - no volunteer moderators. It also spells the permanent end to the Political Forum.

After some back and forth, I reluctantly took the deal. It has been an enormous pleasure building and growing this forum for the last two years, but it's time to turn the chapter in my life and try something else. I can't thank everyone here enough.

The changeover is supposed to take place in May. I'll get back to you with as many details as I can to make this transition as seamless as possible.
Props for taking the time to come up with that!

He will immediately lose his inheritance. Oh, that's right, there is no inheritance.

Word on the street is Oxdaddy spent all his money on premium memberships, Gatorchatter tshirts, and parts for old Corvettes.

Guess Ox is going to have to keep the Miata and no more Corvettes.

It should have been obvious to everyone that this was a joke from the beginning. Ox would not leave like this. He would take a leave of absence because of medical problems and family issues, and then show up working for the other board the next year. In the interim he would appoint some doofus like urg to really mess the place up.
