    Come to think of it, I've tried recruiting a few guys from there to come over here. But not make this their "primary" board.

    Someone probably ratted me out and they banned me. lol

    To be honest, I'm surprised it had taken this long.

  • GBW with their bans are really weird. I got banned for stealing premium info and Tom knows about some websites that are dedicated to stealing his info and he does nothing about it.

    You said in another thread you aren't premium there, so you got banned from the free board?

    You think that is bad. I got banned there because I said that the site couldn't copyright information generally...only the text of their stories, so other sites using facts from GBW was no big deal. No one can "own" facts.

    It is basic stuff, but they didn't like letting other posters/UM fans know their "proprietary interests" are legally a joke.

  • I got banned for saying RR needs to go...two weeks before everyone was saying it. And I was much nicer about it.

    But the GBW regime at the time was still playing the RR diehard loyalist card, probably out of some misplaced fear that talk of RR leaving would hurt recruiting. Never mind that talk of RR possibly being gone was literally everywhere in the media..but no a guy making a post on a forum will make the difference.

    The whole politics of the RR situation were just baffling.

    The whole damn thing was baffling. Heck, it is still baffling to me. Having said that he will likely wind up somewhere in the newly constituted ACC.

    I like it better here. I'm glad people here don't use ridiculous names like spartina when referring to state like how they do on 'the other site'. It's not even clever anyways.

  • I never got banned, but cancelled my membership. I complained to the Beave that a moderator was personally attacking posters and then locking the thread so no reply could be made, then deleting new threads started in response to his attacks.

    He fed me some crap about how tough it was being a moderator and let it slide.

    Afterward I found out that he had been (and still is) stealing info from another site started up by insiders that bailed on him.

    It's hilarious that you can't even type "Rivals" or "Yahoo" on that board. baby

    "TomVH" "UMHoops" "MgoBlog" ... also on the banned word list. Find that pretty funny.

    Those really annoy me, I completely agree. I'll probably edit posts that use those extensively lol

    I like Sam Webb but that whole site is too much of a clusterf*** for me. Abundance of threads posted, poorly designed site that doesn't render in certain browsers.

    Off topic, but wasn't there a rumor about The Wolverine coming to 247 awhile ago?

    I have been lurking here since you recruited me, and I haven't been posting as much on GBW anymore, it seems like that board has really gone downhill lately, so I don't think you will miss it much. A lot of the new posters just want to attack fellow posters. It makes you feel like you really have to watch what you say and you can't really express your opinion without fear of reprisal, not everyone is going to agree on things, many posters on that board have resorted to juvenile things like name calling etc.
