Make what up? All facts.

I'm agreeing with you. I'm saying "they are questioning you saying your other account was banned, like you would go out of your way to make something like that up and lie about it." What possible reason could you have for lying about your other account being banned by the board nannies?

Oh. Yes your right. Why would I change if I didn't have to.
Previous ownership left at the perfect time for me. Baseball and Masters are some of my favorite threads. And without #s I'm sure I won't be banned anymore.

Yea the layout over there isn't good but it's suppose to get an upgrade in the coming months. I think an app is also on the way too. I gave up premium awhile back because I don't have interest in recruiting but I was going through John O's FAQs about the merger and if you have premium there you have access to all the premium boards but can only post on the one you subscribed to. That sounds pretty attractive if you're into that stuff.

Most of the "major" boards for other schools are either Rivals or independent, or so it seems. That option to visit other 247 boards, therefore, appears more attractive in theory than in substance.

Anyway, I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of journalism from the new guys on this board.

Just change “The Knight Report” banner please! Screams amateur hour. Will bring back another 50 posters with that one move. People like shiny new things.

How about this? ...

Agree.

And it was pointed out you can visit other premium boards but can't post...so what's the big deal there? LOL Also said you couldn't do that on Rivals, which might be true for their premium stuff but I was always able to read AND post on other school free boards. Granted there are not that many of them left but I could when they existed.

Make it an olde English or Gothic font (like the old helmet below) but have the R in our Block R style.



Similar to yours with a little tweak here and there.

This is White Bus, yes I was banned. #s BS again. White Bus screen name locked. So I had this one from I think 2015 when there was a thread about "The sky is falling" and the responses as always were great and I posted under this in that thread.

I put a signature on this profile that says it' White Bus but I think it takes awhile to activate


that is absurd...I read that last weather thread you posted in and there is nothing to rose to the level of banning....you should email the new owners of the site. Good lord we know #s can be a little sensitive but this is too much

Really? I got banned for having a photo of Julie Hermann and the hiring committee in my signature file (taken directly from the Star Ledger website, from her introductory press conference).

Holy crap,:eek: dude what are you trying to do? Make me go blind.
1. Never post that picture again
2. Why the hell would you make that your avatar and subject us to that everyday?
3. I would have banned you as well, just so I wouldn't have to look at that.

This is the quote that got him.
"And half of those posts are you arguing with someone. Not about weather. The last two weather threads that got locked because you went on another of your rants. And you can't say Im the guy who provokes fights on here. I didn't post in either of them. But you sure did."

I was banned within 5 mins of that.

Positive. Was during a discussion with him and only him. He even mentioned me being banned right before it happened.

I don't see where he mentioned you being banned, or even implied that he was asking for you to be banned.

Earlier in that thread.
"And why would you ever post in threads you think are worthless to begin with? Do you want to get banned from these threads again If this isn't the definition of trolling and baiting I don't know what is."

An admission he has done this before. And a little history. I was banned from a weather thread without ever posting in it.

I feel like notwithstanding all the ******** being thrown around, the two people in this thread who were banned deserved to be banned. I mean really, its not always someone else's fault.

And for anyone without premium complaining about the new board, it wasn't about you, it was never about you. John is going to where there is more staff support, and obviously feels as though enough of "his" premium subscribers will follow him there, for what he believes will be better content.

This board certainly has the advantage, in that everyone is already used to coming here daily. If they provide good premium content, they make take a dent out of the base following John. I also think SN/247 really did themselves a disservice by not having the board updated prior to the move. It is painfully hard to navigate that site. I keep going there and coming back here.

You're right. There should've been a few weeks notice at least. It could've been teased without pissing off Rivals legally or otherwise, right?

I've been around here under several screen names since at least 2000 with Armor being my longest used name, though a board "outsider"all that time. IIRC, Rutgersfan.com was primarily a message board, then with SN and the move to Rivals it became much more than a message board with sports reporting, paywalled stuff/paywall board. Now SN is going to a bigger, eventually better platform for everything. I think the April Fool's switch is a big turning point for the whole board experience here (and over there too). I just hope it isn't a damaging turning point to that experience. The boards here have a rhythym and familiarity to them that has been deeply interrupted. It definitely doesn't feel the same to me than it was on March 31, even if we are posting about moles again.

The switch may have been great for scoop and newshounds, but not so sure about posters and post readers like me.

These are the same size as the one that is up there currently, and the color is fixed ...













If they want to use one, they are welcome to do so.

Run them with every T a sword and one with just the first and last T as sword. Lets see how that looks.

But not sure about the shield in any of them though.

Nice job btw, thanks for doing this.

So far rivals has had much more action than TOS.
Seems the only posters on TOS are the guys who got “comped” to go there.

Time will tell. Hopefully we all end up on one platform one way or the other. Having 2 sites just splits the audience.

I'm not going to lie ... the highlight of my year (the last 12 calendar months) has been that these guys left town in the dead of the night, the Mean Girls migrated with them, most people stayed here and now they are all miserable because the forum software at TOS sucks rocks. This is like Christmas in April.

WhiteBus - Can you get them to reinstate my old "sunsetlament" account, too?

If this was truly the highlight of your year, I feel sorry for you. This didn't even make a blip for me as a highlight (or lowlight, or medium-light) for last weekend.
