this is total ********...it wipes out 20 years plus of peoples posting history..yes i realize only searchable for about 9 years but still

the community will be gone...its akin to the horrible John O move to TOS. It appears Mr Shannon is out of touch with the lifeblood which is the message board.

a board starting from scratch with a new format means its totally new..what is the incentive to stay here

would seem lip service to say oh it will come back some day...hahahaha

Flush the CE Board down the toilet where it belongs--in the sewer.

Many years ago, this happened to another message board that I posted on regularly. My kid, who was good with computers, downloaded all the messages, and I was going to restart the message board on another site. I completely forgot what happened to that content. Frankly, don't care what happens to the old posts. Start fresh.

Boo hoo why does the CE belong in the sewer? Guess you got tired of being taken to the woodshed, kinda like when you had a hissy fit over the LA Fire Chief that did get dumped as I predicted.

A really, really bad decision. It is not rocket science to translate the posts to the new system. Actually, anyone with a modicum of SQL/DB knowledge could easily do it.

So why aren't they doing it? Do they want to destroy old posts, and why? And is there anything management on this board can do about this decision?

No idea why they're doing it. Richie really has no say in this. This is site-wide across Rivals.

I just think they're lazy and don't realize the value of, or give a **** about, posting history. As is stated above, this ain't hard to do. I've done a LOT of porting of data between disparate production systems, far, far more complex data than simple posting history.

Thanks! I've never been impressed with Rivals' management - their sites could work a lot better - but this is a new low.

Look at the bright side, bac. It''ll take at least ...what, two or three months before we can make fun of your ridiculous post total again?

That's what you call a windfall. Breathe the fresh, clean air of freedom from the shackles of your past.

Will not be surprised if the free board "features" and access will be extremely limited.

Remember that guy that predicted "Ash is Cash"? Man what a backfire that call was.

It will be a good jumping off point.

Would this be a Rivals decision when they are the ones being assimilated? Think it would be the new decision makers choice whether that is laziness or an unspoken reason.

Well we really didn't need 289 separate Taylor Ham/Pork Roll threads anyway. There will be few more before they all get wiped out.
