UPDATE - On3 will be bringing over all historical posts!

[wheezer]

So can we just bump old threads right now and keep responding to it to keep it alive ??? Asking for a friend

That was my thought
Maybe bump a bunch of old classic threads the day before this starts

 

[RUInsanityToo]

It will be a good jumping off point.

Hmmmmm......you will either leave here for good or we all get to refer to you as BACO (Bac Always Chickens Out). Win....Win situation for the rest of us.

 

[Richie O]

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

Free board is going nowhere.

 

[Richie O]

Unfortunately this is not my decision, nor is it Rivals decision, as of July 1st we will owned by On3. Nothing changes from a content standpoint and we will continue to post the very latest Rutgers scoop.

As we continue to learn more about the merger, we will continue to update you guys.

Great me posting Coors Light as beer i tried 20x on the beer thread all for naught

I hope you didn't actually try Coors Light any one of those times.

 

[Kbee3]

um its happening to this board too...alot of good references to music, weather, health, food, history, past seasons all gone

you are right, i will be starting fresh...elsewhere

Bu-bye.

All of my wisdom gone. I weep not for myself but for future generations who will not have access to the knowledge, wisdom, insight and love I've imparted on to these pages. With this decision a light of hope will be extinguished and humanity will suffer.

 

[Retired711]

The replies to Shannon Terry's posting criticize his decision. He responds that this is the "very best we can do for now. We have the data and can revisit when we get critical measures completed." have asked -- and I'd be surprised if I get an answer -- if the reason is only technical, or if there are legal or policy rationales.

My guess is that it's a lot of data and will require time and effort to bring it over and they don't want to pay for it now.

I need to bump my “Zion will be a bust” and “Jordan Dingle won’t be a NBA player” posts now!

If that happens, which would be foolish, the board will wither.

It's not all that much effort to do it, in fact now is the time to do it as part of the conversion. My experience has been if it isn't done now, it more than likely never gets done.

Exactly. Typical lip service from a corporate blowhard. The guy founded both major sites, this one and the one that runs on 1980s message board technology, and now On3.

Quick sampling of On3 message boards, none seem to be free:

College Football Forums and Message Boards

On3 Forums

Wait it’s not rivals decision? Isn’t Rivals being acquired by the guy that created rivals? So it is his decision, which would make it rivals decision. This is nexus of the universe type shite.

It costs money to migrate data. It’s pretty obvious that’s the reason. Anything to save a buck.

It's more effort than just getting the sites merged and we all know how cheap Project Managers can be.

 

[NickRU714]

Don't worry. This is happening after the NBA Draft.

We'll still be able to bump all the dumb posts saying "I don't see it. Ace and Dylan aren't going to be Top 5 picks. Their draft stock is dropping."

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Free board is going nowhere.

What about premium?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

it is BS.. they don't store images, that's why you need links to stuff stored elsewhere, storage of text is cheap as hell.. for rivals this is fraction of a penny on the dollar type savings.

 

[HeywoodGiant]

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

He's Chris Ash

See this more and more with corporations. Penny pinching, cost cutting so that top dogs get richer while those on the lower rungs and the customers/clients get smaller crumbs.

 

[DJ Spanky]

storage of text is cheap as hell..

Yup.

 

[Richie O]

Nothing is changing in regards to how the site is operated, there will be some cosmetic changes and an upgrade of the boards, but everything else will all remain the same.

 

[Local Shill]

The truth is Greg Schiano killed this board by not allowing anything whatsoever that happens at practice to be reported. In GS part 1, there was robust discussion of players, practice, opponents. Now there's very little of that during the season except maybe on game days and the day after and next to none in the off-season. Twitter (X) has a lot to do with it too.

Ohhh... time = money... did not consider MOVING the data in a previous comment on this, only storage costs. But still.. they do not store images, only text and links. Bandwidth costs? Still think it is short-sighted and only goes to show what they really think of the content created by their customers.

Was this board better under ash and flood ?

Yes, you need to do that for all the diehard NBA fans we have here, especially @Greene Rice FIG.

We have tons of insider content on recruiting, injuries, etc every week throughout the season. Highly recommend giving us another try, you won't regret it.

 

[DHajekRC84]

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.

"The user clout / reputations / status will be imported. i made the decision to not import historical board posts."

I assume that means post totals remain. Just the posts themselves go away.

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.

Everyone who got their takes ruined on the CE board always cries about it.

My posting history is impeccable. Ability to access or not is t changing that. Any future posts I make will be as impeccable.

It’s definitely not a tech issue. Would be very easy to do. They just don’t want to pay for it.

 

[NickRU714]

Hot take: Removing post counts and clout should be done as well.

Is it some point of pride to be a "legend" or "hall of famer"?
Do people actually look at that stuff?

I couldn't even guess at my post count or status without checking.

A full reset literally has zero effect on posting on the board.

Tepid Take: maintaining post counts/clout, etc. helps weed out trolls and those just wanting to stir up sh$t.

7/1…. Hello hot chicks thread.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I need to bump my “Zion will be a bust” and “Jordan Dingle won’t be a NBA player” posts now!

Putting you on record RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

What are Ace's and Dylan's NBA careers going to look like?

 

[Richie O]

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Wait does this mean he won't be going elsewhere?

Agreed. And I'm not even premium.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Good news. I assume the actual number of "previous years" for historical message board posts they will bring over is yet to be determined...

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Hmmmmm......you will either leave here for good or we all get to refer to you as BACO (Bac Always Chickens Out). Win....Win situation for the rest of us.

ooops...looks like another fail for you. bac still batting .947
