I have absolutely no inside knowledge, but I get the impression from what I've heard from @SammyJacobs that they're in good shape, at least for the time being.

I just checked out Coyle's site. As best I can tell, they have zero community. All the posts are started by staff; about 95% have no replies, and of the 5% that do, those replies also appear to be from staff. If they were to kill this site, it would probably just push more people to 247 Peegs.

The morons don't understand that the heart of a site like this is its community of followers. This site goes back to the original Peegs.com, and there are current posters that have been here since then. You don't just fvck those people over and think they'll willingly fork over money and pull up stakes and move over.

Interesting to look at the engagement on the WC compared to the other (FB, BB) boards. If advertisers look at engagement, the WC would be indispensable to Sammy's potential revenue stream.

I should be paid. Not sure any of these folks are very bright post Peegs

They’re trying to sell info readily available that few care about today

It occurred to me that @SammyJacobs mentioned a while back when this all came down that they still had the HoosierHuddle site and domain, that it just redirects here. I was never there, so don't know if they had any kind of community forums or not. I suppose if necessary the can always bring that back online, and if so inclined can invite all the Rivals posters over. Time will tell.

I quit the premium site because of that giant 🫏 hole Jim Reamer!

Wherever we go we will make it a community. We just have to get the word out where and when we will go.

See the ball. Hit the ball. Catch the ball.

What’s to fine?
No mitts in the outfield and as long as you're in the air, you can thrown it back inbouds and if one of your team catches it....batter's out.

I don't recall any forum on their old site. It was mainly just a feed of their articles and comments could be under the article.

Does Peegs have any free boards? I just checked the "Peegs IU Hoop Forum" and all the posts say "To read this post and more, subscribe now - Only $1 First Month"
 
If they shut down this Rivals site, is someone going to start another Water Cooler?

Stay tuned in, guys. It sounds like Sammy will be resurrecting HoosierHuddle.com and setting up forums there, to go along with their great reporting and content. I suspect they're unable to talk freely due to some legal bullshit, but I'm confident they'll be in business come July 1st. I don't claim to have any insider knowledge, but I've picked up enough to feel good about what's awaiting.

Those guys do a great job. They have to make a living and I think you suggested they charge a subscription fee. I agree and think they should charge a flat fee for access to all content. We’ve had it good all these years by having free access to our brilliant and profound Cooler discussions. Of course, Dream Teamers should pay double. 😎

Dream team will pay as a team when moderating improves. Otherwise no
