I don't know a lot of background about the ban, but that's because 247/GP has become terrible since the merger. It's a wasteland of an arranged marriage.

I used to check out the board 4, 5 times a day. Now I just go once in the morning to read Paul and Steve's recruiting notes.

 

[HotMop]

Who was banned?

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Who was banned?

I think it was DynastyDog, and it was just a 1 week read only ban. From what I gathered, there’s a ‘shocker’ emoji on 247 and he explained in detail what that was to another poster. He has had a huge chip on his shoulder about the merger from day 1 and constantly fuels the fire so I think this was just the straw that broke the camels back.

Same, I wish Paul and Robbie would start their own site or revitalize the Rivals board. I can't stand the new site.

Both sides are being babies if you ask me. When an instigator prods a dooshbag, you get what we got.

I think it's just two sides trying to get their way. The genes page crew has made the site almost unreadable though. I want to continue supporting Paul, but damn, the idiocy is strong.

I noticed during the Moorhead presser that David and gene identified themselves as "genes page 247" and Paul and Robbie as "247 sports". The craziness is going to continue when the owners can't even get on the same page. I'm probably biased but I blame the genes page crew.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

genespage owns the site. the name isn't gonna change until he sells it. Supposedly that is supposed to happen in the next couple of years with Steve and hopefully Paul and Robbie are offered first rights. a few in the 247 crew do nothing other than troll and it is pretty ridiculous... then they come over here to ***** about it when they get banned for instigating **** which is even more ridiculous. There are few old people from genespage that get their panties in a wad and plenty in their 40s that think Stans is the greatest BBall coach of all time that for some reason seem to forget it was Richard Williams that took us to the final 4. some need to stop being dicks and some people need to lighten up.

247 had a few turds and some of those continue to try and start crap all the time. But the GP crew has made it almost unreadable.

30 threads for the same topic, etc. I also just go for the morning nuggets and don’t go back

CBS owns the site. Gene owns the his name and his subscriber base to some extent.

If you could see how Gene acts behind closed doors you’d understand who the problem is. Gene has the biggest ego in the MSU fanbase and acts like a petulant child.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

17 Gene and David both and their merry band of Geriatrics. Nobody shows up to read anything those two 17ers They have made the board unreadable. Steve is ok but Now that his 15 minutes of fame with the Ole Miss nothing burger are over he’ll fade back into being wrong about recruiting. After the infamous “white rabbit” fiasco with Tee Shepherd and the infamous 2010 CJ Johnson class debacle it’s hard to believe what he says until Signing Day.

 

[Walter White.sixpack]

I noticed during the Moorhead presser that David and gene identified themselves as "genes page 247" and Paul and Robbie as "247 sports".

Think that ruffled any feathers?

you should read the CBS Interactive Terms and agreements

Gene's Pagers are the problem. Not to say there are idiots elsewhere, but jeez, we are here on this site because of GP ********.

And no, Gene does not own that site. 247 does.

 

[Drebin]

Thanks Gene. Welcome.

I joined 247 recently during one of the subscription promos. There's good content to find on their boards, but overall there's a ton of ******** in there that to comb over before finding content. One thread I came across was a poster complaining about other posters having conversations in threads and making them long. If you can't converse, it isn't a message board.

ETA: the ******** is supposed to be butt---hurt. Didn't know it was a censored word

Ah, it worked. Much obliged.

 

[gasdawg]

I personally just feel like the GP mods are egotistical and too prideful to fix a mistake they made. Kinda like Croom's mistake of Woody McCorvey. He knew it wasn't working but if he let him go it would make him look wrong for hiring Woody in the first place.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

I’m a member and personally have loved the merger. At the same time I have never really gone there for the message board but the content. The can now provide a lot of content on recruiting and information on the program and it’s been good for that. I am also 24 and too young to remember the “message board wars” so I don’t really know what All went down. I agree that the posters are pretty terrible. You can’t read a board without someone trying to instigate a fight.

Nice to know nothing has changed since I completely left GP years ago to stay here at the SixPack.

I remember running into Gene at a tailgate eons ago and while I was trying to just make conversation about our football team he only wanted to talk about me getting him in good with the owner of the company I work for moolah. He just came off very douchishly.

 

[dawgstudent]

Who is this owner you steak of?**

Gene just posted board rules that listed multiple justifications that posts can get edited, threads deleted, users blacklisted. I think 247 really did Paul wrong. They put him in such a bad spot. Gene knows that many old 247 members will stay on out of loyalty to Paul. He knows there is no competing product, as far as pay sites go. And if he loses a few folks that don't bow down to him, he doesn't care. I wouldn't be surprised if he is actively trying to run some people off.

I guess I don't understand why so many people are still paying for his site. In my opinion, one can usually learn more with twitter than with a paid account to Genespage.
