On3

I'm in good standing with the new crew. If I lose my Mod powers it won't be their call.
on3 appears to have "teams" with message boards that include water coolers but they're subscription based. i don't see the business logic in allowing rivals, an acquired rivals, to have a similar outlet where you don't have to subscribe if they're both owned by the same entity
 
Fck it. Put us in the portal. We’ve got to be better than a lot of other water coolers out there
It would be great for everyone here to just migrate to some random sport team site and keep on posting the same political/social threads.
Rivals Main Board. You gotta pay but we should establish dominance there. It's also nearly unmoderated as far as I can tell. Also, more SEC guys so more, um, right leaning you could say. @JamieDimonsBalls and a few other IU guys float around. AS we've become a football school, it seems only natural to grab our rightful place.

sdhoosier would be out of a job and lars would be stuck on the old ladies page
Link?

Does Phub have a comments section and for what exactly?
 
Just

I love everyone and if they get rid of all free boards then I will not converse with any of you and will truly miss you all

I know this much about On3.

Coyle doesn't really have much to do with the website on that side of it. Former writers of his are in charge of the website. It's a partnership.

They're going to need mods. LOL


That said, it won't be me because it's more interacting with some of you without being hamstrung.

That means the Dream Team can't whine to daddy.

You who are freebies are welcome there to discuss IU sports, but I would definitely pay Alec and Kyler to deliver IU content.

Hello Readers,​
It has been a wild 24 hours filled with questions, anxiety, hope and doubt. As you all know we took over the Rivals site on April 1st from The Hoosier who is currently over at On3. When we first started there was a lot of doubt and rightfully so. You all have been jerked back and forth and not given the value of content you deserve. I knew we had to earn your trust. Yesterday's news was a shock to the system and understandably made you all go "Here We Go Again" like it was Pre-Cig IU Football.​
Our staff has received some great messages on these boards from you all. They mean more than you know to everyone because we have worked our tails off for 13 years to get a shot at the big time. I really hope this merger is a new beginning instead of an absolutely devastating end.​
So here is what I want to ask from you. If you could send On3 an email with a positive review for us to Support@on3.com I believe it could give us a chance to be the team that covers the Hoosiers after all this settles down. This is not a mandate, just a request from someone who wants to give you the IU coverage you deserve. We have really enjoyed the first 30 days.​
Thank you,​
Sammy, T.J., Alex, Nate, Ben, Nick and Evan​
It appears that Rivals only wants to or is only willing to have one site per team/school. It also sounds like that isn't being guaranteed to the current crew, that it's possible that they could pull the rug out from under Sammy and TJ and the crew after they've busted their asses to bring the quality of this site up to levels we haven't seen before (Lucy and kurt notwithstanding).

Brad, I suggested he touch base with you just to get an idea of where he stood legally. That's why you were tagged on the Preemie.
 
At this point, I'm hoping for it.

Brad, why do feel this way about jumping the Cooler?

Used "feel" as if your remark is more an emotional reaction rather than your usual well thought out position.

Having said that, it could be me who is emotionally attached to the Cooler,
just like an old worn out pair of slippers.

Sounds like some misrepresentations were made. Super shitty. @BradStevens in the words of the great Willie Gary. You might not have a case. Unless it’s on behalf of everyone. Everywhere…. Bet this happened to a bunch of folks

I'm joking.

I just love the idea of hundreds (dozens?) of posters with years of history crashing a completely unrelated message board.

Plus, I'd love to poach a Caribbean cricket fan for the book club. Different perspective.
 
Not sure they would like me. I am progressive in my Christian faith in that I want to see people embrace Jesus as their Savior and Lord. But the political progressive movement is not something I hold to

Looks like the run is over. Seemed inevitable

The guys at Hoosier Illustrated are the On3 site managers. They were the group that left Coyle to start their own venture. They did so well with the coverage than On3 approached them to head up IU coverage.

I feel badly for the new guys here.
