I stopped by there this morning to see how dead it is. The only active thread was one by Cookie Monsta talking about snow.
Pretty sad.

I'll always be thankful to Ballbather for creating JI, but it's sad to see what has happened with the new site. It's like he didn't understand that the forum drove the community which drove the content...not the other way around. RIP JI.

You think he regrets that "business decision"? I don't otherwise this site would have never been created.
Thanks Sean.

Scout didn't botch the transition by itself. Ballbather helped that along by overselling the promised changes and the dishonesty about the marketing crap. I don't begrudge him for selling JI but the way he sold it was kinda dickish. He knew scout wanted our email addresses for marketing before the transition got underway. That's why before announcing the sale he insisted everybody needed updated emails on JI. Then kept insisting marketing emails wouldn't go out. Then they did and he went silent.
Having a forum consisting of mainejet and hyatt is a suitable punishment.

Gotta agree with this sentiment. In one of Ballbather's posts responding to people complaining about the board's tech, he said something to the effect "it's only a message board". I believe he saw the forum as a small component of JI. Apparently the members disagreed and fled here. Long live the Hampur!! Yep. I don't think I ever even went to a separate part of that website outside of the boards. Had no interest in the other content. Back on JI, I would read the articles AFTER Ballbather put a link in a thread on the Landing Strip. One wonders how far they'll go to get people to stop by. Do you think Ballbather would put a link here? Would you follow that link if he did?

I'm not one for trolling but I'd really love to rustle HYATT's fat fucking jimmies right about now over the Packers game. Not going to do it but still...that guy talked so much fucking shit about the Jets all season long I would love to see it.

HYATT TM is king of the interwebz. Just ask HYATT TM and HYATT TM will give you a half hour lecture about it. In fact, just ask HYATT TM what time it is and HYATT TM will tell you how to build a watch.

Got the same thing. Pretty awful. They failed to realize that we created the content that made that site great not Ballbather or his writers. Remember that breaking news ticker. So ironic. Didn't break shit Their endemic articles were awful. Written with absolutely no literary talent. Glad I'm not the only one who realized this.

But the watch doesn't work and when you point that out he writes a short essay about how time is an illusion and the watch isn't supposed to work.
