Boiler Upload Throw in Towel Already?

[POTFHBTFU]

One article in last 4 days. 5 commits, some of highest rated we’ve had in years this weekend and crickets. I know dub’s gone but this is a disappointing way to finish it out

My other groups said we received a commit from an awesome receiver.

So is this forum actually going to be shut down? Or are you posters just going to leave?

This could be an interesting site

It was acquired by the guy who founded rivals originally and started on3 and it will be one website. I think which school’s site gets picked up varies but G&B was chosen for Purdue so Boiler Update will be no more in 8 days. Any paid subscription will be good at G&B. There will be no site. There is a note at the top of the homepage but interesting that a “pop-up” quickly covers it up. On3 already hired Dub Jellison and I think Casey and Travis will be Kelly getting pink slips in a week. And it sounds like most of this was not communicated to the staffs and they have had to read between the lines. I’m not a paid subscriber here but was at G&B when the deal went down and it seemed like everyone working there was learning what was going on the same time as the fans.

So on 1 July, when opening this site I should get one of those 401 error code messages. About site not found.

And all the archived messages will just disappear?

I opened a couple of pay messages. You can read them until the pop up shows up.

Football posts and posters have already gone elsewhere. There are some hard core basketball posters still hanging around. As I said, I have about 5 other daily Purdue sites I frequent. I never found the need to pay for the info. Somebody will leak the info or I can always do a search.

Ok

Seriously though, what is everyone doing for a free forum site? Or are you ponying up the $120 for KC?

For me, the On3 'G&B' site never justified its price. Over a decade of subscribing with Alan’s staff, but I saw enough changes (not all the staffs fault, such as social media dominance and the portal ruining college sports recruiting) after the move that diminished its value, making it no longer worth the investment. So Hammer and Rails?

Hammer and rails, SI and several Facebook groups. Everything you pay for on this site is on Facebook for free. Bo announced today that all the non revenue sports like baseball, softball, swimming, golf, wrestling, cross country and track will get to fight over a paltry $300,000 of that $20 mil annual nil allocation. Men’s football and basketball and women’s basketball and volleyball will be nicely rewarded.

That info was from the journal and courier via a link on Facebook! I never pay for info. Sometimes that info is not correct. But most times it is.
