    I think from a thread a long time back, this was determined to be the "bat signal" for Scout Exile...

    haha

    GBW's biggest mistake clearly was banning me for a completely stupid reason. Obviously. ;)

    They banned me for a twitter post where I said something like, "TomVH is better than another Tom on another Michigan site." For serious.

    welcome

    Out of curiosity, how is the chat software coming along? Be really nice to have a Wolverine 247 chat room for the games.

    I was melsesse over on scout (premium). I haven't been there in probably a year or so.

    I hated the interface of the old scout site, but the new site is somehow 1000 times worse. Not sure who their programmers are.

  • A lot of guys like elmonthc, maize09blue, bacon1431, bringbackmaze, etc.. all seem to be waiting things out while looking around. Some guys have disapeared and I haven't seen since the change. To be honest I think blackdream and SoJ are the only ones I haven't seen verbally say they are looking around.

    I'm not a "paying" member anywhere. I really don't care if I know about commitments first or last. My main objective is discussion. I am very happy with this site after my first couple of days

    They should make the leap -- the new Fox format is ridiculous. I can't post. Seriously. Every time I tried to hit "reply," I was taken to a page where it showed me the list of ALL the boards. After the fourth or fifth time, I said screw this. I am in complete agreement with the sentiment that it was probably THE worst timing ever for a major change like that.

    Wow, millions of $$ lost. RT @Mengus22: According to @bkoo, the Scout sites are all rolling back to their old formats tonight.

    Wow...but little wonder. If you're going to "improve" something by making it FAR, FAR worse -- you're going to lose business. If they return to the old format, I'll go back -- AND remain here, too.

    FoxSportsNext has made the decision to make the old Scout.com site available again starting later tonight, the transition back will be around 11 PM EDT. Fox remains committed to the launch of FOXSportsNEXT.com with a phased launch plan that works for everyone after all of the technical issues are addressed.

    I just checked the board over there -- and there are 7 people online. SEVEN. Usually, there are at least 400-500.

    I'm honestly not 100% sure. I know it's definitely in the works, but I haven't heard a specific timeframe. If you send an email to support@247sports.com, they should be able to answer that for you.

    We've actually got an offer right now where you can join for free for the rest of the year, so you'd get full VIP access and be able to see which site you like the best without spending a dime. Feel free to give it a shot.

  • Well even if they plan on going back to foxsportsnext in the near future whenever they have all the technical issues figured out, the layout is still a mess. I find it extremely confusing.

    How the hell did you get banned from a Michigan board?lol

    I posted a very respectful but clearly worded message saying that it is time for Rodriguez to be fired in late December 2010 or early January 2011, saying that even though he knew what he was doing offensively he as head coach had to carry responsibility for the intolerably bad defense that threatened to derail our status as a powerhouse. That was a couple of weeks before he was indeed fired but I think Beaver and Co. had decided that anything said against Rodriguez would "hurt recruiting" so they just banned people who were too vocal about it.
