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.
