Whoever posted it, put it up in the QB thread too. The format isn't the issue, anymore.

Re: TOS Discussion
It makes me wonder if Percy is a sock of Jim, or Jim begged him for help. Maybe the same for 97Cats and Winger. We know how that will turn out and how grateful Jim will be when returning the favor.wyo-cat wrote:Just to fine tune CST's take - MAO has made Percy the TOS Minister of Propaganda. A TOS Baghdad Bob.

Re: TOS Discussion
I saw a reply there that said we are really enjoying ourselves here. It was gone almost instantly.
We haven't set a timetable yet, of course, but I'm betting by the time football season rolls around we will be a far more "with the times" and advanced website over GoAZCAts. Actually we are close to that level right now.
add: They think that we secretly want to go back. I don't. I have visited there to see the response and to try let members know where we have gone. I think that time is past. They will have to find this place themselves. We aren't ready to go public yet anyway. I believe it's time to start brainstorming (brainstorming thread) on what we want to do. Next week we can decide the path we want to go and what is feasible. Also to work on setting a cost structure on how to support the site. Plus get an idea on who will contribute.

That's why I believe Percy is Jim Storey. How else could he change his screen name? Or maybe only Percy #3 is Jim.

He knows about this site. My thinking is do this right, and nobody who loves Wildcats sports will be able to stay away, least of all 97, since I want to get him to write the occasional blog/article for the new site once the platform extends beyond forum only.

Re: TOS Discussion
Screw goazcats. I have no desire whatsoever to go back. I know we've all said it already, but it is the people that make this place what it is. You could have the greatest forum construct in the world, all the bells and whistles, but that forum won't come alive unless there is a community of people conversing.

Hilarious how most of them are Initial followed by Name.
I went into the members list, went to join date, none even show up, but there they are as inactive members for all to see on the front page.

Re: TOS Discussion
I saw xethw's post. I really don't think he understands the whole picture when he says we "abandoned" GoAZCats. It's more like we were abandoned through neglect. We offered to help and was rejected. It just surprises me, and a little disappointed that a person who worked his way to CEO can't understand the direction we are taking.

DHollande = President of France Brother, must be a CATS fan.
GiuseppeB = I enjoy the name Giuseppe, will name first born son this, must get wife drunk first for conversation.
MSkidmore = heh heh heh, Skidmore
ADulhunty = Ashley Dulhunty, the great contemporary South Carolinian who has a lock down on the low-country rice market.
GPinckney = As in Geoffrey Pinckney, Top of the morning to you sir!
AGoodrich = BF's Wife. I hear she's looking for real estate in Tucson.

i hope none of us post there again. and the stragglers that are still posting there...i don't understand why.

Re: TOS Discussion
I need people to know my decision was not flippant, nor was it reactionary.
It was calculated. The site had dying roots. It was only a matter of time before every last ounce of life was choked and withered. We did a transplant of the healthy, vital, fruit-bearing element of the vine to another living root system. Soon, we will see just how alive we can be with a few changes, a few upgrades, and this place living off itself again! When Josh and Jason ran GOAZCATS, it was healthy and alive, but ever since, it's been a slow decay of the foundations, where no matter how hard we tried, we, the vine, couldn't make the root system care.
But we all care. We were GOAZCATS. Not some domain name and platform. We were the pillars of user generated content. We will be that again.

My rant on topic in the thread in the PRB forum:
We never threatened. We didn't strongarm. It happened organically because this site changed, not for the better, and there wasn't a peep about it from the admin who'd laid a groundwork of plug-pulling. We feared we'd be scattered, so re rallied on Facebook on Tuesday, created the site same day.
Every initial post here was for community preservation.
Then came Wednesdays snide, back-handed whoops that entrenched us in the cause. The hard part had been done. The avenue for departure was paved. The message above offered no hope of letting us help, nor much hope for this site remaining since the admin hates wasting time on us free boarders.
In the days since the revert, admin has banned a 10 year contributor for posting a link to a free, content-free forum, which is no threat as a competitor for precious premium subscriptions. Why? A threat? Hardly. More like the promise of this site dying, losing site hits and members, which is why admin created over 300 InitialName fake members yesterday to make this site look active, because, as we argued and he ignored, ad revenue which is far and away enough to cover operating expenses if done right is brought about not through the premium subscriptions, but guest browsing (site hits), brought about by us posting.
So he banned Scum. I might be banned. It makes me sad because I was one of a few being proactive to help. But I'm not paying for premium. Not under threats.
If this site exists into the future, it simply will not be the same, no matter how much the platform looks it. Admin banned a free boarder he doesn't want to waste time in acknowledging for posting free board links on the free board the admin wants gone. Ego/Power trip much?

Re: TOS Discussion
I know I came here at first because I enjoyed the community and it was falling apart. After realizing that we could create a fan site that is better I am glad I joined. The way Jim Storey acted, or didn't act, sealed the deal. I won't become involved in TOS again as long as they have the current ownership.

You guys also know that's it's 'near' impossible to piss me off to that extreme. I mean it's possible but I ain't telling you how to do it.
Miss you guys. Let's get together next time you're in town. You can meet the kids. They're a riot.

Re: TOS Discussion
Dug this gem up. Context, the Admin attempted to remove me as Mod of the NBA forum because I posted elsewhere:
This was in summer 2011. Some people can't take good advice.JMarkJohns wrote:I've frequented every board but PGU since 2001. Do I post? yes. Do I contribute? yes. Have I been one of the most revered members of this site in that time, moderating a forum that was dead when I got here, and contributing to multiple forums, while helping to make this a community and not just a place to post? yes. There's a reason why I'm requested.
Fact is I've been an over-active member on dozens of forums for the last decade. This includes other Wildcat forums (including Scout since 2004) and AZcentral (since 2002).
I'll say it because it needs saying, and I mean it with respect... one shouldn't worry about exclusive support. If I work at Target, it doesn't mean I can't shop elsewhere. One shouldn't worry about exclusive support, but generating continued excellent support. For 7 years I've done just that for this site. It's a down time for the NBA during the lockout, but I've kept the forum active as much as possible, and have continued to post throughout multiple forums, including the Arch-Rivals forum, hence my interest.
It's not good practice to become disloyal to members who've been so loyal, so long, and, in all honestly, are very well liked by the members here.
It's not about what I do elsewhere, but what I can do (and have done) for you here.

Re: TOS Discussion
Telling. Straight from the same playbook used on Chi, CG97, Scheer, BenH, and the rest. And a straight up prequel to his wah wah wah free posters are premium elsewhere diatribe.

Re: TOS Discussion
I've been trying to get this guy to let us help him since 2011:
I PMd him many more times on the subject of moderating and admin/ban powers. Nary a response.
Admin went on to say:JMarkJohns wrote:...need to be made accessible for 3-to-5 active moderators such as catgrad97, Rey, myself, etc... Last night and this morning was ridiculous.
Also, please double up the mods in every forum, or give admin power to a poster or two so forums without mods can be cleaned up when spammed.
We're fighting the battles to not allow trash on the site, but we're going to battle with knives at a gun fight. All we can do is clean up. He cannot stop it, nor can we prevent through bans.
We all want this site to succeed. We all have a vested interest. Empower us to help you.
Thanks
John

Re: TOS Discussion
I was given a free premium membership at GoAZCats when the Gershon/Scheer breakup happened only to have it subsequently rescinded because I belonged to Scout Premium too. To the best of my memory there was no discussion about it either. Just a curt note saying that if I was going to post on Scout my membership would be revoked.

Same. Although for a chunk of it (until I became a student again) I had a premium subscription Rivals to help support it.

Either way getting the "it's them for us" attitude in regards to an online message board is pretty ridiculous.

It's funny to see 4life and Percy trying to pick a fight with JMark.

He'll have to care enough to take notice of a minor detail and ban me.

You know what's funny when he changed his name to Bert I picked him out right away. Like one post.JMarkJohns wrote:4Life is Percy.
I missed it this time though.
Re: TOS Discussion
Do we have a list of all of Percy's names?
