    A couple of notes on Rafters

    All of those boards are finishing contracts that when they end, will almost certainly see those boards go away. The Cats Illustrated one just ended earlier

    A couple of notes on Rafters

    I agree that it sucks. But as someone who operated a free site, kept it free and had to make payroll and pay for costs, if the economics were then what they are now for advertising rates, it would have been hard to justify doing it so while I enjoyed that era, I also understand why it doesn’t...

    A couple of notes on Rafters

    This is the basketball and football board combined. That is the way on3 asked KSR to do it. I understand it’s not what everyone loves but it is their policy And as for why it’s the policy, there are likely a few reasons…one is headache over moderation, two is liability and three I am sure is...

    There is no political thread, paywall or not. It’s against on3 policies to allow politics

    A couple of notes on Rafters

    Just so folks know, the decision to get rid of the other free boards was not mine or Justin’s. On3 is getting rid of all free boards on its site for moderation issues and I think virtually all of their new sites have none. They also have a strict policy of no “general discussion” boards bc they...

    GYERO

    On3 is getting away from all free forums if any sort. Justin and I both convinced him that they should leave Rupps Rafters and I personally said we should do the same for GYERO. On3 would rather have had neither I know it’s not ideal for folks but I do hope people keep participating

    Some info on transition

    A word on the transition. Just talked to the person in charge of this world and got this update: The old Rivals board is operational now but soon this will be the only way to access HOB. Right now the problem is that if you don’t have a HOB account, you cant post on the free boards on this...

    GYERO

    No matter what happens long term, you guys will have your place. I am a longtime fan even when getting blasted In the short term, nothing is likely to change either way.

    GYERO

    Nobody is getting cancelled bc dudes like Tony end up feeding off the energy. He did what he does. I don’t think he is the best but I do think he is funny. I love Shane Gillis, love the Bad Friends guys in that setting and thought Tony was hilarious on the Brady roast. I did think this joke...

    Oh and I am still blocked by Thamel even though we both work at ESPN and will be at the same part Saturday night…the last time that occurred, Boogie had a short and very stern convo with him. I should try to bring him as my plus one

    GYERO

    Even I think a tax on unrealized gains is not a great idea. I am for a higher tax on the super wealthy for income but unrealized gains would be a nightmare and actually disincentive a lot of investment that is actually good for the working class Tariffs are also a super bad idea and don’t...

    GYERO

    I have no idea. I am not an Australian breaking expert as you may be I do think the way people see a random tweet from an anonymous account citing an alleged petition that itself isn’t proving anything and then go so far as to assume it’s truth is indicative of how social media has changed what...
