:lol: like you can be taken seriously on this matter at all.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

They kept on telling me to optimize the board. I kept on telling them that I can't do anything and none of the options they gave worked.

The American based techs were very good once I got that far though. They quickly figured out that there may be an actual problem. Fixing it took a while though.

But the way he's been turned into a total pariah by the new management team is horseshit. Apparently the divorce was messy, but I highly doubt it was all his fault the way we've been led to believe. Life experience has taught me that very, very rarely is one side ever 100% in the wrong.

The site has worked noticeably worse since the day the handover took place, and all the fault has been laid at his feet. Seriously, this board goes down daily whereas before it did not.

Point is bigfan gets shit on constantly by people here and I dont think he should.

I am suspicious of the new management team's anti-bigfan stance also, that perhaps there is another story that we haven't been told.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Pretty much.

I actually give bigfan credit for being able to deal with them with his seemingly limited technical knowledge.

In my initial call, they immediately offered to reset the board to 12:00AM Tuesday.

Was that ever even a possibility Rick?

Like I said, the guy brought a lot of it on himself. His unique prose and style did not make him seem like the most educated guy in the world, despite an apparent New Trier upbringing. He also had some really dumb thoughts about moving the Sox to rural North Dakota and other things. There were some adversarial relationships between himself and other posters that got a little out of control, but that's just a natural function of one man being in charge.

I've found that when an individual is villainized by a community it is often to create a convenient target that will deflect valid criticism away from those who are insecure about being criticized.

The only thing I noticed before it completely went down was a bunch of the SQL too many or max connections things for a little bit then poof.

I have seen those errors a hell of a lot over the last year but not as many as the old days. Obviously, you can't do much with what just happened but I would think the SQL connections thing should be fixable.

At this point, even if he were to share his side of the story, nobody cares.

He did share his side of the story in the last week of May, and the first few days of June 2016. It's here for anyone that wants to read it.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

I actually had a pretty strong personal dislike for bigfan but, as an adult, I can compartmentalize that and still respect him for what he did with the board. The fact that leash, FF, Chus, Frank and countless others cant is seriously pathetic and reflects extremely poorly on their character. Management, despite some claims to the contrary in this thread, has piled on the guy at times. Even this thread has a lot of "oh if you only know the mess we were left with..."-toned bullshit that continues the trend of scapegoating bigfan for issues I dont think are his fault.

The irony is I like Nas and JORR (Seacrest I know nothing really about) more than bigfan.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

...back in those days I saw Chus and Chas as one poster.

BF shit on Frank for no goddman reason.

Still the weirdest development in board history.

No goddamn reason? Frank is a piece of shit Sox fan. Fuck him!

The good thing is all of this is behind us and we don't have to bring it up anymore.

As for his relationships with some of his erstwhile constituents, well those beefs are hardly one-sided.

Today's CFMB "What's your Beef" segment presented by Browns Chicken and Pasta. LOOOVE that Chicken at Browns.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.
