EM31 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 It looks like they have decided to go private. You need to sign up to be able to read. Well good luck to them. I always enjoyed going over there to see what was abuzz in Dolphins land but never felt the need to sign up. Once a board goes private that is like cutting off their future oxygen supply. Very little walk in traffic is death in message board land. Once again, good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If I remember correctly, JI tried that same thing a while back and that lasted about 2 months. Foolish move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Well they are back now. Perhaps just an errant link. Now I can see the local reaction to the "Culpepper may be cut" rumor... in Saban we trust !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I remember when JI tried that. I was very happy because that was good for business here. So many people can not\don't want to login for a variety of reasons. Besides the fact that if guests can't read your forums, google and the other search bots can't as well. Any site that did this for an extended period of time would see their page rank drop considerably. I am assuming that ji eventually realized this and that is why they changed it back.

ECURB Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 How is having a post minimum( set up to prevent spammers and porn bots) being greedy? Your forcing member to participate... while places like JN seem to do fine with Spam and whatnot (some of it is even funny) and they dont force lurkers to do anything... Maybe someone just wants to sign up so they can do an advanced search to find something, they sign up, search, find it, but cant see the link. Now they are forced to pump out 10 quick messages to get up to the # they needed (thats if they cared enough to do it) and usually those 10 messages suck becuase they just want their info... so you basically wound up with more useless messages and forced people to post for no reason.

That is a silly stand point. A message board is set up to have people participate, correct? And your point about the 1st 10 posts sucking...Who cares? I am sure I can find 10 posts of yours that suck. does that make you less of a poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Maybe this is like the whole Mormon thing where young people in the church go forth for a couple of years to preach the word.

They do have a VIP section, however that has been there for years. You CAN read TGG under 10 posts. you just can not read links. Many places are like that.

No worries GM. nobody is bashing you.....but he does have a somewhat valid point. I agree, I went and tried TGG out and the stupid 10 post to see a link thing was dumb. I pumped out ten useless posts my last one literally saying: "I wanna see this link and I need ten posts, this is my tenth." Then I went to start a topic about something that was relevant and interesting to jet fans but no one had posted over at TGG yet and it said I needed 50 posts to start a topic. I haven't been to TGG ever since. It isn't worth all the hoops you have to jump through when you can get , if not better, the same thing here for less hassle and with a smoother design.

Maxman Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Greenmachine is cool in my book. Defending a site somewhere else never comes off the right way.

Sure, but I doubt there are any admins or mods over here who labor under the impression that being and admin or mod confers and extra two inches onto their dick size. I am not necessarily sure that the same can be said of the mods over at TGG in all cases. Of course there is probably a correllation between the set of mods who hold this belief and the set for whom it would represent a 100% increase over their natural erm "giftedness".
