Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I just went to the soccer forum over there, and what used to be a great forum is now a wasteland. I just wanted to see if anyone had gone over there for a while and how many people are left.

Im back to enjoying rocketcorner once again after a long lay-off.

That's your problem. You went to the soccer forum. That particular forum is dead, but the football forum and a couple others are alive and well.

I tried starting a new thread over there, but the tumbleweed kept screwing up what I was typing, so I gave up.

It's good to see things swinging back to football. When the soccer forum first became popular, all the small, fast posters went there wink.gif

Well, since my IP has been banned (again) I have not found myself visiting the old huddle in nearly 6 months..........as far as I'm concerned, and I know I can speak for many..............it's been dead for a long time whistling.gif

when the new owners took over and changed the business model, they royally screwed it up.........and for that we are extremely thankful here at the RC rolleyes.gif ........

there will be some who will stay because they actually haven't had to fork over any money............I can probably safely bet that they haven't gotten 100 new members since their newest asinine policy of pay to play

I've noticed a big uptick in the number of visitors the last few weeks here at the RC and I would expect many more to join us as the season progresses..........

so, a fond bid adieu to the Huddle..............10 years is an eternity in this day and age and they certainly had their heyday...............now it's our turn wink.gif ..........thanks RM

In our Heyday, the soccer forum was great. The jerko-moderators killed it and the cost to post is dumb. Sad. I did meet some great guys on the forum who continue to be my buddies to this day.

I used to go over there for their college football page but not since they started to make you pay again. You would have thought they would have learned from the first time they made people pay to post horribly failed.

The soccer forum on this site isn't exactly what you would call lively either. Must be the sport, not the site. tongue.gif

used to be that hearing about 'gossipy' (sp?) tidbits would get me to go check things out to see what was happening there.... haven't even heard any of those for many months..... also, if i was 'missing' ppl here....but, i have better solutions to that problem now than searching there.... lol afro.gif

Hey, Slice. Jeffcat's taking a beating over in the FB forum. He may actually have to play nice for a while.

Funny that JJ's dying forums got brought up. I'm guessing they're not alone. I used to post on themaconline quite often. Couple years ago me and their management didn't see eye to eye so I retired myself. I still keep in touch with a few of the posters from MOL.. Goskinsgo, Dingleberry, sclfan and macthunder. They're all telling me that MOL forum traffic is way down even though football season is in full swing... Apparently when the site was moved to elsewhere and new faces came into control the site changed. I'm told you can't mention or discuss many of the subjects that was discussed there before. The mention of drinking or referring to beer will get you a warning and a second offense will get you a two week vacation, third offense you're history. I've read PM's sent to these posters, it give the indication they're trying to appease the school administrators and boards, teachers & parents. Good luck with that one.... tongue.gif

I'm told some have migrated to this site.. http://m-a-c.us/forums/index.php

lol........just because they can't mention beer in Mercer Co?........ rolleyes.gif ....I'm sure there are many administrators, AD's, and coaches who would like it if this site were history also.....

the RC is not a place for the faint of heart, I can tell you that.......but knowing how many people are visiting this site on a daily basis leads one to believe that we are doing something right.....

btw, wait until this Friday night when the infamous Friday Night Lights takes center stage!.......for those of you who haven't been here in awhile, well........... smile.gif

I got an e-mail last night that said MOL passed jjhuddle in website rankings.

Also, I was on that m-a-c.us site years ago. It's basically a few guys talking amongst themselves about stuff they couldn't talk about on huddle or mol. Pretty boring. RC's the place to be if you want to discuss deeper issues with more than three people.

My understanding there were other things than just the no mention of beer. I know it's always been the policy of no talk of politics or religion. Guess they're just upset that their playground is getting torn up and new rules from up top... Oh well, they'll either like it and fall in line or they'll leave for other pastures.

I LUV the "Friday Night Lights" threads... I can't wait! My belief is God created beautiful and gorgeous women, much like a fine painting, therefore I should admire and study his handwork! biggrin.gif
