As I said this morning, I have always valued my relationship with bigfan. In my experience he has always been a good guy. But in this situation he is just 100% wrong. It's not a dispute where one side sees things one way and the other sees it a different way and there are gray areas. He's just wrong.

It seems to me that he had second thoughts about turning the site over to others and those thoughts intensified as we made minor changes and in particular allowed certain people to post again. He could have simply said, "Look guys, I've changed my mind. This is my baby and my emotional attachment to CSFMB is greater than I thought." There would have been no problem. Instead, he did what he did. It showed a total disregard for anyone who ever used the site, including jimmypasta and Score is Doomed. Whether they believe that or not.

I absolutely hate that this has gone down the way it has.

I agree, Rodney. I've been a defender of the BigMan. He always treated me well. But considering what has happened over the last few days, I no longer see him in the same light as I once did. I hope he is still able to be a part of our dysfunctional community once he has an opportunity to reflect on his actions. We've all done things we regret in our lives. No matter the outcome, BigMan gave us all a forum to become a tight nit community of differing opinions.

Doubtful.

Obviously, in light of what everyone knows now that was clearly a real threat and something he could control. Franky T. was on the money with some of his thoughts.

Well whether he bluffed and you guys called him on it, or just acted before he could turn the key, it worked out. It was a shitty way for it to go down, but as I said in another thread im glad this place amd its people are still here.

So Big Fan still owned the old websites name? Obviously.

Yeah, I'm sad too. It's a shame.

I imagine the domain anything with 670score I. It is worth more to some than this board.

That may or may not be the case. But in fairness to bigfan as well as Nas, Seacrest, and me, that was never a big consideration in this situation. Monetization never had anything to do with this on either side.

How much did you guys pay for it? And maybe you didn't get it in writing, but did you expect the old address? Was it a shocker that Big Fan was able to pull this off? Did you not see it coming?

This is absolutely none of my business (considering how things went down between BF and me), but why is this such a big deal?

Was there a considerable monetary transaction part of this transition? Ad revenue? If so, I understand money can muddy the waters. But anything less than that... I mean... I'm not really understanding the issue.

Everyone involved has made it very clear that money had no factor in any of this.

Well then. I'll just maintain my blissful ignorance on this affair and keep giggling at weird things people say.

See, that page 1 back-and-forth with TP and CH was a thing of messageboarding beauty: first-rate ballbusting. That's what makes the board terrific, not who owns it.

So Big Fan's threats of banning people, what was that about? He never had that ability once he sold the site. Right? That's what I didn't get in his epic last few days.

Then I think once he realized he couldn't do that, he blew up the site.

I think somebody said it best. Big Fan regretted giving up the site. And once he realized that, he went out in a blaze of glory. I admire that, Big Fan.
