Under "The Proud Tradition" at TOS, only two sticky threads (Photoshoppers, Old School AZ Basketball) and one normal thread remain. Everything else has been deleted.

I truly believe Storey just wants everyone to leave so he can just shut the free boards down. Try and make a model like Scout, where many people go just for premium.

Although with twitter and such, can't imagine premium boards being around in the far future.

Not sure where he's going to get the talent to have a Premium-only paywall site that's successful.

Only Matt Moreno was a writer there as of last week, and not sure what incentive he has to stay around.

He could shut it down now. In fact, I'm not sure why he hasn't already.

Premium will hang on. He's got enough people on yearly plans and enough of them will forget to cancel when it renews for it to hang on. I give GoAZCats another couple of years before it fully goes belly up.

I don't think he realized what he was getting himself into when he tried to dick around his customers. The reality check will hopefully benefit him long-term, but for how he's acting like even more of a childish prick.

The reality check of causing the sanctions to the team or losing almost his entire staff twice hasn't seemed to have matured him in any way...

I know Storey gave up "official" ownership due to Goazcats losing their press credentials. Seems the "official" owner a Tucson bankruptcy lawyer who was also a Storey client at one time IIRC.

Address is still Storey's.

I know you and some others have had dealings with him, but I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to hang out with him, like in a bar. I think it would be unpleasant to the point of unbearable. When he wants something from you, like how he wanted something from Lute, I'm sure he's a joy. But otherwise....

Merk, according to the AZCC website the "owners" are Matt Moreno and T-Mac. The statutory agent is Charles Hyde - he is the agent for the company. Which means any legal action, say a service of paper against Goazcats.com, Inc., would go through him. That's really all a statutory agent does, he's an agent for legal matters. Usually, a statutory agent is used for out of state owners of Inc's and LLC's that need to have an in state agent for legal matters. I'm not really sure why a statutory agent is used in this situation, they have a physical address in AZ. Just another shady Storey story.

Isn't Storey's wife a dentist? Guess he has that income to fall back on:

http://studiodentalaz.com/#sthash.HvmkqYgr.dpbs

"After graduating from dental school in 2004, Dr. Storey returned home to Tucson. It was here that she met and married her husband, Jim. Together, they enjoy traveling, cooking, and entertaining. They always look forward to spending time with friends, family and their two dachshunds, Sophie and Sammi."

Thanks for the clarification Wyo.

Interesting that Tracy is still on there, wasn't he canned, or resigned in lieu of being fired? Forgot the details.

It would be like talking to a bubbleheaded socialite at a party where you're not the rich guy. Cold-shouldered or at best told what you want to hear because she has no idea what she is talking about.

Really do wonder if Pastner stays in touch. I doubt it. That office on Oracle is a mail room tinier than the former bank-turned-newsroom I work in now.

In the football thread last night, there was a total of 9 posts. 6 of those were by a single poster (lofty). I think the final post was from the second quarter, and then it stops because at that point lofty realized that nobody else was there to respond to his posts.

the eventual transition to the new url should help people find it, i'd imagine.
