Meh. A bit over the top. He built a good place, nothing lasts forever. He doesn't owe anything to free users except appreciation for the good times. Hes moved on, I suggest we all do the same and look at the wonderful possibilities tomorrow holds. At some point Targu is going to get sick of running this place, will we dump on him too? As a Flats** fan who obviously has never experienced any sort of camaraderie with his own Flats** fan ilk, because they are all Johnny-come-lately, mouth-breathing, mono-syllabic cretins, ( hence spending most of his time on Jet fan sites) I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Agree to disagree.
I understand that part. I enjoy the board. Thats why Im a $ite $upporter here. Just don't get what someone who set up and ran a site FREE to users "owes" anything at all to said users, except appreciation. The guy wanted out, what did you want him to do? Keep doing something he didn't want to do? Because some guys have an interweb camaraderie?

That archive is going to get more hits than scout. Sad. I hope Ballbather achieved what he was hoping to with the Scout move b.c he sacrificed something that was truly great. Funny thing is, Scout is down. Also interesting that he chose a .org domain, which means Scout likely didn't endorse his wanting to do this. Too little far too late. Real big swing and miss by Deegs there. I think you're right.... just a guess but if this was endorsed by Scout, wouldn't their information be in the registrar data?

ouch.... Green's not a nice guy like you Bing. He brings that old JI attitude, hopefully he'll see this place doesn't need that kind of vitriol.

First of all, you keep mentioning $$....most of the dudes I reference supported that site...and now support this site. That's not the point; The point is that many who invested time and energy working to ensure that site ran as per his dictums were not exactly dealt with honestly and forthrightness as things unfolded. We were just as in the dark as the rest of the JI community that were promised one thing, then kept relatively quiet as quite another thing was delivered.
To sum up, the whole thing could have been handled with more openness and honesty, and after nearly a decade aboard for many of us, that was not too much to ask imho.
Now if Sean got totally screwed by Scout, we don't know that either...because, going back to my original point...no communication.

I wish Sean the best and thank him for JI while it lasted.
Then again I still wanted to keep Rex, and wanted to keep Mangini, and loved Herm.

Here at the Hampur Mr. 32 we do bust balls majorly... this board is not for the thinned skinned. Ragu has been very forthcoming regarding this site, and has a group of posters like myself who donate monthly to keep this place up and running. We self police in a way, calling out one another, but have fun doing it... This site is WORLDS better than JI ever was.... I was late to the JI party in 2008 but was on it daily. A lot of the same cast of Characters are here, sadly some are not. I think you will come to love this place more, and find that the communication and style here is more open and enjoyable for all involved...

Like Green said in response to this FF2, I was a site supporter on JI, and not for some crappy t-shirt or fridge magnet. It was one of the few places I've ever frequented on the Internet where I felt obligated to financially contribute to due to just how much I got out of it. Same goes for this place. And to have that kind of customer/fan/whatever loyalty be cast aside with not only little in the way of communication as to why, but to be outright misled, is a tad distasteful. And that is where I believe Ballbather made his misstep.
