At the very least, I'm going to listen to every second of Between the Lines aka "BTL".

Once again, screw the other board and their premium access. I've almost broken down twice this morning and bought a monthly pass. I've just resisted...for...so...long...

Did you break?
I share it with other people. That's why I never post there.
-
Did you break?
Not yet. I always come back to:
1) If there's real news, Kevo's gonna talk about it at 2 pm.
2) Tim Floyd.
3) Ron Prince "we broke it first."

I'm breaking down until Huggy gets hired. :(
Fitz got completely owned on the Prince thingy. And the Tim Floyd thingy.
-
...and the lawsuit from the subscription list thingy...

He REALLY, REALLY does not like it when you bring up that last part...
:tongue:
-
...and the lawsuit from the subscription list thingy...
What was that all about?
"ALLEGEDLY" (a great CYA word to use when you don't have the EXACT facts in front of you) when Fitz left Purple Pride (the same group that beat him to the punch in the Prince hire, which is quite ironic) he "stole" their subscription list. This of course resulted in a lawsuit and a settlement in which Fitz was forced to pay the owner of Purple Pride an undisclosed (to me anyway) sum of cash.
He REALLY, REALLY, REALLY doesn't like it when you bring up that one on his website...

slimz, what finally broke me was when Ell broke his arm/wrist in yet another completely meaningless pounding of a patsy in the OOC...
And Barry's right.

And Barry's right.
Why did Ell's injury break you?
No doubt that Barry's right. I ran across that case on Westlaw a few months ago. I don't think I can copy and paste the whole thing due to copyright...if you have access to WL, you can find it at 2004 WL 794458.
Good article here: http://www.kstatecollegian.com/article.php?a=6068

Ell was a weak moment...
Believe it or not, I didn't used to live on these boards... :)
-
I'm still un-broken....and it's not that I have a problem paying someone elses legal fees after they steal from their employer, it's that I don't feel the need to listen to all the homers over their storke each other off while they write articles through their purple colored glasses. If I want that crap, I can just start reading Manhatter posts.
Thanks for that link, Slimz. I hadn't seen the amount of the latest decision. 140K...that's significant.

I think the thing that keeps me there is part laziness..(I've never looked at how to quit)...but D. Scott is a damned good writer...and it is DAMNED fun to screw with some of those folks!

I did the free trial thingy...sucked. Not worth it IMO.

You don't screw with them.
You post the same sh1t over here.

I feel sorry for "d_Scott".

Other than the fact that he is forced to cover the Lady Cats...I don't..dude gets paid to dick around talking sports...nothing wrong with that.

d_scott is garbage.

Agreed.

Just called a friend of his of "over 20 years" a "moron".
Told ya he was touchy about that Tim Floyd thing!

Not that what FITZ did was right, obviously it was totally wrong. But, I get a kick out of internet posters taking shots at him for that while fully supporting the slimeballs that run KSUFans.com...
seank is a UT grad and his buddy Heckman is a Washington guy I think. Both of them totally &@#%ed mjrod and SPC over on the KSF.com deal a few years ago, but everybody conveniently overlooks that.
That site wouldn't even EXIST had it not been for mj and SPC, but because they didn't "own the domain", they got shat upon when it came time to sell out to a corporate entity.
I guess it's ok if non-KSU people &@#% over K-Stater's, and can be forgiven, but not the other way around.

Well, you've got over 800 posts there. bslimz has nearly 1500. and, Nation has 13,000+. I could go on, but what's the point.
It's nice to have you guys over here, and what not, but by "support" I meant supporting that community and helping them to build traffic so as to increase their advertising revenues.
I've got nothing against y'all, and didn't really mean to single you out personally. I just find it odd that people like to sling mud at FITZ and his wrongdoings while looking the other way at the unethical behavior of Sean Kelly and Jim Heckman. Those two are FAR BIGGER slimeballs in my opinion.
Then, on the other hand there is the "I don't pay for any of the sites" crowd. At some point, we as a community, need to figure out how to share in the costs of running a site like this. mjrod takes it all on himself and just donates his efforts and bandwidth, but he definitely deserves SOMETHING for it.
Most everybody that posts in the WarZone kicks in $15/year, but we have some cheapass freeloaders overthere as well. (ie-Goldy)
-
I don't even know the story behind Seank and KSF, or Fitz, or anything. I'd like to know more about it, in detail.

barry and wildcatnation don't like fitz simply because he wanted Wooly outta town.

I'm sure that's how all the cheapasses feel. Fortunately, for freeloaders like you, there are some that donate way more than the minimum.

so individuals that post on KSUFans.com but don't pay for "inside" access are supporting that site by contributing content and increasing ad revenues. but individuals that post on ksufans.com but don't contribute $15 to help pay for site maintainence are freeloading scum.
perfectly logical.

Wouldn't we all.
I support them all...the more places to discuss, the better...as for this place, where do I donate?

FWIW, I think Goldy is "freeloading scum" becuase of her complaints about the donors and the insistance upon not sharing in the costs of the warzone while running up a big post count. if you want to lump yourself in with goldy, then more power to ya. When the time comes, I'll gladly chip in whatever mj asks for here, within reason of course...
look, at some point, mjrod MUST come up with a way to fund the site. my guess is that it'll simply be a "donation based" type of thing, but i don't know. And, while there probably won't be any "premium content", I'd also venture a guess that he'll throw in some sort of value-added feature that will be unavailable to the non-donors/"freeloading scum".
i hope that clears things up a bit.
-
bookie, yes, that does clear it up a bit.
and if i may offer a suggestion... i wouldn't be willing to pay for most "premium content" type things, but if mjrod is looking for a way to fund the site.... i think i might be willing to pay for an ignore goldy button.
-
Thanks for the idea.
-
Thanks for the idea.
several handicapping sites that i post at have "ignore" features where you can set certain posters to ignore and none of their posts show up. does this software have that?
-
It has the capability to do so.

As for "premium content"... we are NOT a recruiting &/or news service, so to that extent, we have no "premium content".
at the big12warzone, donors get some file hosting/sharing capabilities, etc. my guess is something like that could be in the works, maybe even the ability to have an [email protected] email address... I dunno. Just brainstorming some ideas.

I'm still holding out for the free beer and women. You guys wake me up when it gets here, kthx.

What Nation said.
I don't know the backstory behind the changes in the various sites, other than the case I found earlier when I read something about it during the Ron Prince hire.
I enjoy participating on the different boards (except FITZ's, b/c the free board is worthless). I've had periods when I haven't been very active, and during those changes take place to the sites that I'm not aware of. I also don't follow the "poster drama" very much. Heck, a few months back I wasn't even aware that fatty was known for making up lots of different usernames to post on phog.net.
I appreciate guys like MJROD who put sites like this up. The quality and features of this site, IMO, are much better than the other two. Enough so that I'd probably help chip in. Thus far, though, what the other sites have to offer just haven't been worth it to me to buy premium when they offer free.

There is more coming. Work keeps me occupied as I am in the middle of nailing down contracts and other income streams.

bslimz - I completely understand what you are saying and am in complete agreement with you, although I am, and have been, a premium member at GPC.com for nearly five years. It's the best overall KSU disscussion available in my opinion, but one does have to pay $9.95 to keep the trash out. ie - no goldy
You'll get no argument from me about the free board at Fitz's site being the "cyber sewer" however and I just plain refuse to even visit the scout/insiders site on principle alone. Hell, it should tell y'all something when Tom Light is welcomed by the owners/mods over there, but that's a whole nother rant!
There's some great things we could do here, and mjrod and I have disscussed several ideas. But, without having a full-on recruiting info staff or news reporters a message board isn't much of a business model that isn't just a cash pit.

KSF doesn't welcome Tom Light. They just don't ban him(or myself) because a board with only one-sided posters and opinions would suck. Tremendously.
EarthdogFred is a great example of this. He's allowed on the Hoops board for the sake of having the opposite opinion.
-
For 15$ if you point the little turd out to me, I'll beat him senseless.
Or, I'd do it for free. Either way, it's long overdue.

Well, there's definitely some value in having an attractive and easy-to-use board with the features this one has, IMO.
Keep up the good work, and thanks! :thumbsup:

Credit for the software goes to SPC for finding it on the interweb.
It's a lot like UBB in it's appearance, but a lot simpler to use, faster, and has many more features.

BULLcrap.
Example # 1: When KSF first switched from this format to Scout/Insiders seank & his bunch of sock puppets and TomLight were the only posters there. Heckman got TomLight to help out until they started getting some traffic.
Example #2: The absolute BEST overall KSU disscussion as it currently stands is in Wabash Station. And, we don't need a dumbass gay-u hanger on to litter the board with useless nonsense. There are plenty of differing opinions amongst good and true students, fans and alums of THE Kansas STATE University.
In all actuality, you suck. Tremedously.

Have you not learned that all gay-u fans are :ku:
It's such a trip how they claim they are so "tolerant" of others, yet on both the rivals ku site and the insiders sites (both KSU & ku) they ban folks at the first sign of trouble. You'd be amazed at the crap fitz tolerates from ku & NU fans in the free board area.
:yuck:

Ok, so at the war zone, it's donation thing?
I'm in for that. As long as you can be as distastefully funny as possible.

It's uncensored. Completely.

And you don't have to donate.

This "site"/Administration is and always has been the best KSU site, in my opinion, and I'm not just lickin' MJ's balls. I, for one, am very happy it's back..
And the recent post by HeavyD on [whisper]GoPowercat.com[/whisper] is unbelievably funny...only trumped by the response it got!
-
None of the major K-State "mouth pieces" out there is perfect, the main two being Kietz and Fitz. All of us have flaws. And no doubt Kietz and Fitz both have incredible egos, but I imagine most of us would if we were in their shoes. There is also no doubt that there are no two better ambassadors out there for K-State in the public eye overall IMO. I love Martin from the Eagle for his beatwriting on the Cats, but Kietz and Fitz are both K-Staters that represent well. Yeah, they feed their egos plenty and have made mistakes (Tim Floyd being the monumental one) but I will be listening/reading both as I have for years.
-
"There is also no doubt that there are no two better ambassadors out there for K-State in the public eye overall IMO."
Well...I have my doubts! What are the characteristics which make them the top two, above so many others? I'm curious, because I've neither immediately seen it...nor has it been readily apparent to me in the 5-10 years I've known of each. I just think you're really placing them *up there* on a list.
-
This website has such an inferiority complex. :jerkoff:
-
I can't forgive KK for some of his antics while playing to the ku/Misery crowd.
-
I think this is easily the best KSU message board on the planet.
-
:love:
-
My point is who has more of a role in the public eye both by K-Staters and non-K-Staters. Kietz has a major show on WHB, a very large radio market. Fitz has his own role on the K-State sports network and is often the first one called when talking about things K-State. Who is bigger in the public eye? Jannsen? Caywood? Stan Weber? Wyatt? There are no bigger mouth pieces for K-State sports than Kietz and Fitz from what I've seen. As I said, neither are perfect men and both have large egos and that shows in the way they cover things. However, that doesn't change what they have become, like them or not.

No need to whisper here, my friend. We (mjrod & I) are both Gold members there and will continue on there. Hell, link the place if you want...
www.GoPowercat.com
They have a ton of good articles and great recruiting info... The best available for K-State fans, IMHO. Sure, the "insiders" beat them to the punch on about 1 of every 50 stories, but hell, a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while as well.

That was a pretty big nut they found in late November. I think Nation was referring to the kickass TV commercials that aired during FSN basketball games.
-
Yes, I'm referring to the ku-esque commercial.

GPC is much better when you take off signatures and switch it to "topic view".

The commercial was fantastic. Long live Fitz.

Damn...that was alot of bullcrap to read...
My issues with Fitz are simple. Primarily, as a business owner myself, I think what he did was f'n reprehensible...pure theivery...and I'm glad the courts agree. It is also the reason all key employees should sign non-compete agreements. Aside from that, everytime I've met him I've found him to be a complete prick, and the extreme homerism and intolerance of anything negative that is said about KSU is pretty annoying as well.
Regarding seank et al and MJ/SPC, I don't know the details of how that went down, have never heard the story, so I don't really have an opinion there. If it was illegal, sue them. If it was unethical, make a better site (this one) and draw down theirs. I sure as hell don't feel obligated to pay anything to their site. If they don't want to have a free forum, then get rid of it, but like Bookie pointed out earlier, they are making money off of the advertising revenue, so I don't see that happening.
As for this site, assuming the present crowd sticks around, I'll probably put most of my [sarcasm] highly intellectual [/sarcasm] input on here. Would I pay to support the site? Sure.

Aside from that, everytime I've met him I've found him to be a complete prick, and the extreme homerism and intolerance of anything negative that is said about KSU is pretty annoying as well.
Regarding seank et al and MJ/SPC, I don't know the details of how that went down, have never heard the story, so I don't really have an opinion there. If it was illegal, sue them. If it was unethical, make a better site (this one) and draw down theirs. I sure as hell don't feel obligated to pay anything to their site. If they don't want to have a free forum, then get rid of it, but like Bookie pointed out earlier, they are making money off of the advertising revenue, so I don't see that happening.
As for this site, assuming the present crowd sticks around, I'll probably put most of my [sarcasm] highly intellectual [/sarcasm] input on here. Would I pay to support the site? Sure.
Good post, Barry.
While I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiments regarding GPC.com, I also know that there is far more to that story than was made public. With that said, the thievery of the subsciber list was wrong. However, I'm more inclined to forgive somebody over the long haul and utilize their services if they provide the best product, and in my opinion, PI does provide the best coverage of KSU athletics.
As for seank... well, that situation was HIGHLY UNETHICAL and just a very poor way to treat those who had helped you out of the goodness of their hearts. Not to mention the fact that he is a UT grad who was simply trying to profit from the success of K-State football in the late 90's, it all just really rubbed me wrong. Maybe the fact that Fitz is a K-Stater that actually bleeds purple plays into my ability to be more forgiving in that situation. That, and he didn't phuck over any of my personal friends...
Again, good post, and glad to have you aboard!

Don't be a dick, fatty.
I mean, do be a dick on other boards like UNLV's, gay-u's, mizzou's, etc. But, not here.
Ever heard the saying, "A dog doesn't crap where it sleeps"? Figure it out and apply it.

How you can call Seank 'highly unethical' compared to Fitz is mindnumbing...
-
So, by their actions, they are both (fitz & seank) unethical pricks. One is a UT grad profiteering off of KSU, the other is a KSU grad (I guess) profiteering off of KSU...not much difference there. In the end, the fact that they are both unethical pricks trumps all else, no matter what kind of content they put forth, in my mind at least.
...and the fact that there are idiots like Manhatter over at gpc.com is enough to keep me away by itself.

That commercial was one of the worst produced commercials I have seen in a while, not counting car dealers.
Seriously, all of the shots of a freaking keyboard are idiotic.

This "site"/Administration is and always has been the best KSU site, in my opinion, and I'm not just lickin' MJ's balls. I, for one, am very happy it's back..
And the recent post by HeavyD on [whisper]GoPowercat.com[/whisper] is unbelievably funny...only trumped by the response it got!
That was pretty funny and true...

I don't know about that, but I do know that:
Manhatter OWNS goldy like no other.
:lol:

Manhatter owns somebody?
I don't think I've ever read a poster as weak as Manhatter.

Seriously, end the manhatter hate. The man is a KSU legend.
Go to the ku phog.net gridiron board.
