"With no real growth, functionality improvements, or cool integrations with Scout and CFN, the BTN’s distribution plateauing off, BCS bowl games leaving the network to the delight of college football fans, falling adverting rates and subscriptions, the growth of blogs and other sports networks, and now a multimillion dollar settlement, Fox is most likely having a very difficult moment of truth: We spent a lot of money, we lost a lot of money, our strategy to monetize interest in college football didn’t really make any sense, this economy is going to break the camels back, and we should get our resumes ready."
As one person with a knowledge of legal law tells us, "You could probably buy [Scout] for a pittance of what Fox paid for it."
In the short term, Koo writes, expect Scout to "do a dramatic cost cutting (as if the message boards and UI wasn’t terrible enough), and bunker down during this economic atomic winter while upstart blogs and competing networks nibble on their market share."

I'm sure Tom Light could get a job at some Shocker message board somewhere.

Phog.net died a long time ago in this casual observer's eye. You know when they wrote the part about "while upstart blogs and competing networks nibble on their market share", they were talking about us.
I'm sure TL has something self-aggrandizing planned, the guy just wouldn't be able to handle not being the board nazi to a bunch of 25 yr old douchebags and how good it makes him feel.

Somehow this is all Obama's fault. Seriously, just wait for the thread on how TEH FAIRNESS DOCTRINE!!11!one!1 is trying to muzzle one of the last few voices of the revolution. Or just wait for TL to jump into a random thread in the Ape Room and politicize/crap on it, since he seems to like doing that lately.
edit: fwiw, I don't really like or trust Obama, so I'm not trying to make this thread political. It's just comical how TL has outed himself as a raving wingnut.

It's not like you're real popular anyway, so keep whining.

BT should have started a renegade ku site a while back. Think of the chuckle that site could have had from this.

Dude I can't even figure out how to use an FTP server much less make a website.
