I do like how when you type Tom Light on that board it replaces it with Der Führer

Getting close to all-out civil war on the phog. Then again, it's gotten to that point a number of times.

LOL.  :opcat: (<---- Tom) is going around collecting names of people posting on the rogue site to ban them on the Phog  :ohno:

hill, what's with the hate of EDF? :confused:

No idea.  Its one of the reasons I think that board will fail.  People get worked up about EDF and still do things like title threads "THE OFFICIAL..." and all the other stuff that make the phog tardville.  I'm going make EDF a mod on my long delayed KU Rebel BBS

Yeah, seems like most of those guys were upset with the phog because they weren't being allowed to post curse words or boobies.  That's not the type of dissatisfaction that will sustain a rebel BBS.

Eh. It goes a little deeper than that, but it's definitely a different philosophical disagreement than the one ksufans and goEMAW had. People are generally dissatisfied with the amount of premium coverage on the phog, and a lot of posters are PISSED that they're getting permabanned for posting stuff Tom doesn't agree with despite the fact that they have a membership. However, the setup and structure of premium coverage is not a primary reason why KU fans are splitting off like we did over here. It's mainly the fact that Tom started his own board 10 years ago because of unnecessary censorship on the KU board he was posting on, and now he's participating in unnecessary censorship today as site admin. It goes beyond curse words and boobies; Tom has made the site VERY political and is willing to ban people who call him out on it, and he also generally just bans people who vehemently disagree with him on certain topics.

Here's the deal- he's always been that way, it's just that he finally has banned basically every poster from other schools so now he's begining to eat his own- that's why people are starting to finally get pissed, because it's happening to them, KU fans.

Good point. And yet he touts his track record of being "hospitable" to opposing fans :facepalm:

I guess when you compare him with InsideCarolina or some of the other Scout boards that argument holds some water, which really just says that the entire Scout network is composed of tightasses.

True story: Tom Light's sock @ ksufans was EarthDogFred, he used EDF's avatar of Jack Nickleson and everything.  I have a screenshot of Tom's EDF account with VIOS IP address to prove it. 

oh, and Hi Tom.  :gocho:

You have to try harder to drag him out of hiding.  How about this:



Tom's the biggest racist homophobe on the internet.  If you ask him nicely he'll show you his trophy proving it.

This is like when SuperPurpleCat posted on a bunch of scout boards culminating in his extended metaphor comparing Missouri to the Hobknobbers in Branson and everyone thought that it was SPC, but then it was revealed that it was someone from huskerpedia.

To think we were so far from greatness, and we mistakenly thought we had touched it.

I think _33's point is more that just because the posters at the rebel site don't like Tom, doesn't mean it can survive as a rebel site. None of the posters over there besides the few posters like Hill and WtW are willing to laugh and ridicule their own program. I imagine the rebel site will be filled with threads believing in Turner Gill, talking about the importance of Tyrel Reed, claiming Lew Perkins is completely clean, etc. In other words, powerespect topics.

Maybe not, though. Not sure of the type of crowd that will merge that way.

This is a legit concern. There's never been a major concentration of people willing to sarcastically bag on KU sports over there. Aside from EDF, most of the contrarians just aren't very funny.

Tom if you're reading this, and we know you are.  Could you please share with us how you became a bandwagon ku basketball fan . . . and then tell us how you reconcile that reasoning with the fact that ku basketball has been placed on probation and found to be cheating many more times than Wichita State.

Thanks buddy.
