What happened to Tom's thread with the explanation and link to the new platform to register??

I indicated in the post that I was trying to walk a thin line. Apparently I stepped a bit off the path.

Nothing I posted was inaccurate, but I guess I'm going to have to avoid the subject until I get some clarification on what I can and can not say about the situation.
 
Word is McAndrew is headed to the USC board. With the rich recruiting grounds for internet big mouths and all that USC money, he should have that board in the running for a College Football Recruiting Bulletin Board National Championship in no time. He's on the hot seat and apparently wants to ditch the stodgy Quaker Oats dude for sunglasses, surfboards, and Song Girls.

Or was it LSU? Wait a sec . . . Ah, shit!

Never mind.

I had not yet decided whether to move over or move on. Your post convinced me to give it a try and so far I like what I see. Thank you.

Could you reply with the link to the new site that you had previously posted?

Thanks.

Here is a strategy you could try.......

No. He's a BWI boy with a BWI heart.
 
So, apparently the new evil conquering overlords' marketing strategy is a combination of deafening silence / deliberate annoyance and alienation of thousands of potentially loyal readers (I mean, even us cheap a$$es are worth something as eyeballs for paying ads, right?)

Did anyone else notice this? Yesterday for a short period of time, maybe late morning East Cost time, there was a "McAndrew Forum" at the ON3 site. LAter in the day it apparently changed to "The Free Board".

No, that's not it at all. All parties are, due to contractual and legal requirements, restricted in what they can do. I attempted to provide some assistance to you guys, but apparently ran afoul of those restrictions.

You helped many yesterday to get set up in the new area so thank you. Now onto other things like marching you to the town square put you in the locks and we all throw rotten tomato's at you ;)
 
I registered for the “Free board”…but it is still demanding payment…what’s up with that?
FREEBOARD!!

Who was it that posted that, along with the first line from the Lynrd Skynyrd song? That was pure comic genius.
 
Some incentive to check out the new board (and no, they're not paying me....yet ;).

 
Does anyone know if this current board will dissolve or do we need to go and delete our CC information so we don't get charged for another year. My current subscription expires in early January.

I think Rivals will continue to operate this site and continue to charge you unless you take action to cancel. Not that I'm predicting this, but it's possible that the replacement is better.

Thanks Art. Much appreciated.

Tom didn’t pay the millions for the naming rights?
 
I set up my account as linked via Google OAUTH and I can't see any of the thread content on the free board.

FYI if you're setting up an account. I've submitted a support ticket about it.

Response to the ticket is:

On the Free board, you are only able to see the first post of different threads without a premium subscription. If you upgrade your account, then you will be able to view it all.

That doesn't seem to jive with what we've been told and others are experiencing.
