Yep, that's the magic of DNS.

"hash marks"???
Jeez, at least you didn't say "little minus signs" or something, I guess.. "dashy thingys"... :P

Oh, and I'm down for the percentage of posts payment plan. Thanks. :wink:

You can't see it, but I'm jumping up and down as I type this. ;)

I'll be in for the payment thing, as soon as I have more than -$17 to my name.

Yes, that "-" is supposed to be there.

WHAT HE SAID!!! And THANKS, Grant!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

the poor college kids won't want to pay for it, you may keep a percentage of the current membership but future membership may diminish. most college kids struggle to pay their bills let a lone membership to AZZ.

take that for what you will..


I, for one will not come back if this becomes a pay site. Everyone will be pleased to see me go, and no one will care if I stay but thats what I liked about this site, it was free. Everything is pay pay pay and most of it is worse quality than this site.

If this becomes a pay site, then it is just like all of the others.

That is just my thought if anyone cares

Really, if you break it down word-by-word, I'll bet you can figure it out this time... let's take it slowly...

...there may be some changes afoot before too long. I'm currently investigating a method to keep the current forums in tact, but then also add some premium forums that only paying subscribers would have access to. This would not only benefit the site financially, but also keep down some of the "noise" by making a pay section more exclusive.

Dude, Grant. Like, I'm being totally seriously. If you sell out, you're totally out of the band. Capice?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
