Those with inside sources like Blues bear sure have gone silent.....

That's probably because Blues Bear was a UK troll. It is their color, after all.

---

He posts with some regularity on here so I don't think he was a troll that created an account just for this.

When BF first moved over here, I stayed on the free side for a good while. There were a few posters that wandered over from the premium side and acted like condescending jerks, and that made me want no part of the premium side. So I get it, and I still see that happening.

There are some (in my opinion) jokers on the premium side. But it is overwhelmingly a great community with all kinds of good discussion and info. And with all due respect, the info discussed over there plays out far more accurately than over here. I don't mean that in any other way than that's just my experience.

There are some strange and ridiculous responses to Ashley in this thread. Folks, he's losing money on this board, all while people talk shlt about him. I mean, who among us would want to keep paying for that kind if treatment? This isn't complicated. You guys are coming off as really entitled. JMO.

---

Entitled? Lol, no, we know we're free loaders. I've never had any issue with Ashley or this site's management. But it's absolutely ridiculous for Ashley to threaten to shut the community down because some turd or two criticized him. It's butt hurt and childish.

---

If he did shut it down, and y'all didn't have a place to go cry and complain, would y'all still be considered cry babies? Very similar to a tree falling in the woods does it still make a sound type a thing

Really makes you think

---

If he shuts it down, someone will start a free board like Baylorfans, and everyone will have what they want.

This isn't charity. All major college teams have a free forum on which to discuss their teams. If the owners of this site decide they don't want to host one, someone else will fill that void.

---

True. I just cannot imagine how one could not at least break even on a free board. Not sure if poor management or spending is out of hand, but you get sponsors by saying you have X amount of accounts registered. Removing thousands of accounts doesn't seem like good business decision, but it's their business.

Perhaps it is because of that line in his post about the advertising going to Jason (baylorfans) and not back to the site....

But I would imagine the loss of the free boards would drop the number of clicks per day way down and scare off many advertisers.

Especially during football season when the in game threads can get lots of posters and clicks during the game.

Drop that down only to the select paid members the site visits per day would be dramatically cut.

Ya the Briles thing was true. He was my neighbor on the river and thought he would be back. FYI I have seen him without sleeves when we were moving items up to the house due to the river rising during flooding! lol

---

Had a great relationship with him. Haven't talked to him in a bit, but have talked to others on the staff. I was traveling to Jamaica Beach in the flood/rain that killed all the people in Brenham that day and got the call from a person crying. I got to JB around 2am, pulled out a bottle of Western Son and finished it by 4am. Then the death threats against my family started online, then to my real job, fun times.

---

yea, Briles thought he would return. He was told so by Starr and a few regents. Another handful or regents joined forces and thought it was best to clean house without cause. Several people knew this was happening on the boards. Mods didn't have the regent inside info, but that is fine. Just posting what they heard although it was way wrong.

---

But we're the puppets of the Regents per some.

If there is really a poster on these boards (paid or not) requesting that someone die, that's a problem in my eyes. I have not come across any posts to this effect myself, but that is the sort of behavior that should get someone banned from the site. One thing to call someone a moron or imbecile (I get called that once a week or so), but it's another thing entirely to tell that person to die.

I think more may believe it is more BU Admin or athletic dept. Most on 365 wanted Aranda gone so that would be a tough argument. I just wish you would remove the poster on the paid side than continues to wish that people would die

---

He literally would kill me if I did.

Thankfully it is very rare but it has happened before. I don't recall details but I do remember one person who was banned for doing just that. It's the right thing to do.

A few weeks after joining S365 after the great migration I had a poster tell me to go stick my head in an oven. Guess that was my initiation.

Been death threat free since then.

I'm struggling to think of a single reason why anyone would have an issue with you. You're among the most civil, level-headed posters on this entire board.

I miss sparring with BEAR. I'm still waiting on the D&D Roofing Men's Softball Team to show up.

I honestly thought Bear was going to kill me someday. I wish I had access to all the DMs he sent me back then. Crazy.
