This was inevitable. I left Woopig a few years back because it was turning into a politically driven slap fight in just about every area of the site. Elvishog nailed it in his final message, the political forum morphed into a very scary place (not unlike most political forums these days, but I don't blame him for wanting to dissociate himself from it.)
I spent many years talking Razorback sports and other topics there, had fun when it was a fun place.

Man... haven't even thought about Woopig in a couple of years. RIP

I assume Hogvile is making a lot of money with so much ad revenue. Woopig was struggling and I think Elvishog had enough with little help and decided it just wasn't worth the trouble anymore.

This is exactly why I left years ago. Feuds from the political forum were ruining the other parts of the board and I finally decided I'd had enough when a couple of people were actively cheering Ruth Bader Ginsberg dying. I know that it's a place where you "wear a cup" and all that, but the political stuff was just getting to be over the top (maybe not quite as bad as it is here, but still shitty and uncivil).
I mostly posted in the beer and music subforums and had always appreciated the dark humor of the place and lack of Hogville-type mouthbreathers, but the other stuff just put me off for good.
