ECHS05 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 So fellas heres the question... If DJ gets the nationalhsfootball.com board back up and running the way it was before it was shut down... do we go back? Do we stay here? The problem I have with other boards, is it seems we are divided on where to go... What are you guys' plans on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosinc Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Is he still involved? I thought he was long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have little faith that DJ will bother with it. The reason I feel that way, is that I did share a couple of emails with him about buying, taking over, or even running the site for him for free while he continued to receive whatever revenues were there from adsense. He said he was interested in selling, but quite frankly, he never showed that he was by setting a price or giving me a starting point from which to negotiate some purchase or transition. If his challenge was financial, it seems like he would have been glad to sell or get rid of the strain, or whatever. Personally, I have no problem posting on either site, here or fbt. We know the owner here so his intentions and reason for having this site up are pretty transparent. My only issue there is, I don't know the owner. He obviously cares a lot about getting us over to post there. Didn't really appreciate his attitude toward Prep, when it's obvious Prep is just trying to look out for the group. For some reason his attitude changed from last night to today. He suddenly decided Prep's link was no longer welcome etc. and that Prep had some character flaw or whatever. Not really sure what he expected. Prep to lock this site? Delete it? Never log onto it again after paying for it? The mods left his link up on the old site weeks ago when they posted it and didn't try removing it as DJ's site was failing yesterday either. They were posting it there weeks ago, before they knew whether one of us would be able to buy the site or whether DJ would work a deal or something. He has a problem with the same thing happening at his site though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I logged on to DJ's site to have fun bullshitting with you guys about football. I felt like there was a good chemistry on the board when it came to football, and it's a damn shame that it went down like it did, especially when it might not have needed to. Any way, if you guys want to post there, I'm with you there. If you want to post here, I'm down with that also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteshoes Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Right now I am kinda running them both, but not sure I want to do that for a long period of time. I too was a little setback by the other fella's attitude toward this site. The key will be how many come over here. That is why I think it is important that the Pick' em contest, weekly viewer guide and even my Top 100 are here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrepGridiron Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 This whole situation has me going a bit crazy. I'm banned from fbt. Didn't really want to say anything about being banned because that is his choice. But since we are discussing, I think it's important to put it out there. Yesterday Eagle and I had a chat. He asked I and others give his site a chance to prove itself. I said OK and posted what I did yesterday in the welcome thread. I think my mistake was that I later posted a thread about Pitt-freedom on this board and not his board. I can only assume that is the character flaw being referred to. At any rate, I feel like I know our group and that fitting us into a state's forum is not our ideal. Eagle knows this and I think he's going to work hard give us that. But going back to my Pitt-freedom post, I felt like Posters needed to know this is still a friendly place if they aren't sold on fbt. If that cost me posting in fbt permenantly, so be it. I've maintained that I'm here for the group. I really have been around USAT and Rivals for many years and can't imagine not having a place to talk to the same familiar screen names. You guys let me know. I'm really fine either way. Time and money would be saved if this isn't the home, but I'm more than happy to ride this out with y'all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AztecPadre Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 If prep is banned I'm gone from the other site. Is there a thread up or should I start one asking where prep is. I had no idea you got banned so I will start a thread and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But It's cool; I really don't want waves. I just want a place where we can go. Once we decide, if it's there, I'd have to believe I'd be let back in if I shut down this place.

HawgGoneIt Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 After some thought...I think I'm not going to be contributing over there. I don't like how this all went down at all. He has his link dropped at NHSF a few weeks ago. Then he goes to FHSFB and makes sure we aren't welcome there. Buys all the pertainent domain names. Removes the link to here. Bans Prep. Seems like he was really limiting options for us intentionally after spamming his addy over at NHSF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien12x Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wow. Can't believe you were banned. That's crazy. (Just saved this page on iPhone desktop home page) I'll frequent it often. I'm wherever the crowd goes. And Prep for what it's worth, I tried to put in a good two cents for you yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dntn31 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Eagle's banning of prep is stupid. He says he's trying to accommodate us, but he's coming across as censoring open discussion about the future of this community and any potential "competition" for his site. That doesn't sit well with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ararar Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 On DJ old site we would occasionally discuss things happening on other boards weather it was a state board or national.Never seemed to be a problem in fact I think it helped knowledge and discussion of this sport we all are obsessed with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pick one board and ONLY post on it. Posting on all three will just further fragment us. With all respect, how could anyone consider going back after being abandoned and they without a home at the most crital time of the year? I never hold a grudge but I do employee common sense. I prefer this board because it's ours! We need to work together to get everyone in one place. I've got Email address to others to rally them... A consensus I await. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
