Just a heads up, there is a quote function on TD so you don't have to do it manually.


Are you talking about the copy/paste thing using the quote button when you reply, or is there an easier way?
If so, I would love to know where it is.

Why would you post on something owned by CBS?

Most of us had been posting there for years. Myself since 2002. We were there long before CBS showed up and ruined it.
We didn't choose to post on a CBS board, they moved in on us.

You can highlight the text and then hit the quote button. No need to copy/paste.

ETA: LSUGrrrl was faster.

Yeah that’s my worry. Never thought a thing of it until these Toomers threads started. Now I’m worried about the day that CBS $$ is suddenly flashing in Chicken’s eyes.


It's been my fear for years. Frankly, I'm surprised Chicken hasn't been bought out yet. This is probably one of the most popular college sports forums on the planet.

They better pay him out over time based on how many users stick around. Because most would leave if someone like CBS bought it. Or anyone that wasn’t pro free speech.

I personally wouldn't stick around. The OT and Poliboard would either get zapped or neutered. The rest of the forums would be heavily censored and micromanaged by new admins.

Another refugee checking in.

ITAT was a great board but sadly been going downhill for a while with the mergers and "upgrades." I feel sorry for Mark and Jason but the nuclear option for Toomers?

And 24/7-CBS? The same folks that brought you Commie Uncle Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather's unsubstantiated allegations about President George W Bush's ANG service.

I'll still post over there, but I'll never give 'em any of my money.

Begs to mind...

Should we have a legacy plan in place...a deadman switch if you will...in the event TD is bought by, say espn.

You know they would censor and shut this place down with the quickness.

How much money would it take for Chicken to sell this board? Sorro's wants to know.

Does the Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, UGA 247 sites have a political board? Maybe Auburn's was one of the most active in the country and that's why it garnered CBS's attention?
