This is really sad. McGriffs was the first umpire discussion board I found on the net. I was impressed with the wealth of information, and that all of the old threads were kept online.

Since then, Gary has re-started the boards (maybe in an attempt to delete much of the vitriol), so they don't go back so far anymore.

I have sent Gary several emails complaining about overly personal attacks, porn SPAM, trolls, and other postings that were damaging the board. I even offered to be a part-time board monitor if he could set it up so others could delete posts. I think he may be limited by the out-dated software he is using for the board.

I completely understand those of you who have decided to not frequent the board any longer. I expect I will hang with Gary for awhile at least, but then I have not been taking the brunt of the personal attacks. As for the SPAM, I just ignore it.
