Folks lets turn out the lights and move on!! This board shuts down Friday Morning at 12:01 AM!!! Any post left behind will be a pain in the butt to move. Please make my job easier by moving on over to Sport Parlor South. Please start posting at the new site. Right now is the time to post pleasant memories of our time at Network54, and take the sports talk to our new home. Friday morning this site is read only. Any convro needs to be started and answered at the new site! orphaned posts will be referenced for clarity, but it is a pain in the ass for me to do the dirty work of actually moving posts over. I have been a faithful dude taking care of business for this site. PLEASE do not pile on the extra work of "MOVING" files. Take your chat to the other board as of tonight..
THANKS
The PLUMBERVOL

PV, why in the hell are you moving? The poll was overwhelming to stay here. Oh well, just like America, minority rules. The other board just plain sucks! I am sorry if that offends you but the people have spoken!

You willing to ante up and pay the difference in costs???? It is over 200 $$$ difference. Come on HHM pledge 200 dollars to pay the difference!!!

...a reply to my friendly and potentially productive companion site thread "After the move"....

Obviously this is a headstrong change most members do not want. That is what I sensed intuitively before. But let it be, if we can maintain a complimentary board here...directly linked to the new site.

Why do I even care anymore? Though locked out of the house I built, I still not only wish the best for it as it moves (against the members' wishes), but I can't get the keys back to the empty house...so that I can remodel the place to compliment SPS.

Well, that given, good luck! Ol' CD will put his efforts elsewhere.

I know where your coming from PV but ya can't lead a horse to water.
After tonight, I'm over yonder. I hope everyone else will follow suit as they feel "moved".
Members, we are trying to make this as simple as possible. Please give us the benefit of the doubt.
For once.

For the last damn time. Get off your freakin cryin soap box. You have been offered time and time again to be a part in the decision making with PV and myself.
Yet you DO NOT come to us to help or give imput, you just bitch to anyone who will listen.

At a time when "Your Baby" needs "Your Support" you rock the boat like one of the dad gum Louie brothers.

You have two options CD;

1) get involved with PV and myself in operations.
2) start a new board.

Make your decision and get over the cryin about it.
I've read a damn nuff. Do you need Solomon to say, "Cut her in half with a sword"?
Then watch her bleed to death.

...means dissing the founder. I will not get the keys to my now empty house back for some reason (my friendly thread requesting same was ignored). Follow Al or be left behind is what I "hear". "Power"...what a strange effect it has on some.

I gave Al that power in confidence and trust. Now I am shut out of my own board and everyone must follow the minority dictator. Well, thank God, it's only a sports board.

SPS will continue somewhere, because of the unique membership of it. I'm sorry, but the customer service aspect of this whole thing sucks! It is ridiculous.

All I care about is the message board. All the other stuff is window dressing to me. I will miss this board. I hope CD can start his on simple board.

I addressed the money issue in another threed. I WISH we could stay here. The fact of the matter is that without the core of this bunch, views go down and the move is useless. If I hit the lottery I would gladly fund staying here at Network54. Our intention is to only keep the group together in an enviroment we can afford. Perhaps a locked board invitation only is a solution? The problem here is success. Our view numbers are to high LOL.

The bells and whistles mean little to me. Ease of use is a big factor. But affordability is the main consideration.

Pv I appreciate all your efforts especially your efforts to keep costs down and make the improvements to the other board including my font complaint-which you promply addressed. I don't think you and TBA have done a good job of explaining the cost difference and member expense that keeping this Board requires. For instance you say it costs more than $200 to keep this Board verus shifting to the other Board but you don't say if thats a one time charge or monthly or what? I think the poll proved that the members are not sold on the new board at least not yet. I noticed the poll came down pretty fast. Just a suggestion but I think you need to put all the cards on the table so the posters understand the need for the move. I don't get the impression that the other board is free because they ask a lot of personal queations which you might as well know they intend to sell to someboby. There ain't no free ride. Not complaining but food for thought.

if I were you guys. I take the damn keys and throw them right in CD's face and say, "Here, you want the damn thing back? You want to oversee this headache everyday? You want to be 'the man' again? OK, you can have the Son of a Bitch back, lock, stock and barrell. Just don't come crawling back to us looking for help when you're ready to bug out again for 6 months or so. We'll give everyone your e-mail and phone number and let them come calling everytime some slimeball wants to smear shit all over the board and they want you to stop what you're doing and clean it up. Here, you want it big boy? IT'S ALL YOURS! Oh, and by the way, here's this month's bills for it. I'm sure you won't mind covering it."

Then PV and TBA, just sit back and actually ENJOY posting without ANY of the worries and headaches. Suck off the momma sow awhile instead of having the little piglets clawings at your tits all day!

CD, you make me want to puke, ungrateful #*$.
