People have been saying "Too bad about McGriff's, it used to be a great place" since Al Gore was VP.

It's a dexter hole, it's been a dexter hole, and it will continue to be a dexter hole. Pure & simple.

I don't know. I seem to remember it being pretty good back when I first found it; say, mid- to -late 90's. I was just getting started and got a lot of good info there. Plus, I met a lot of folks over there who have since moved over here. I remember we even put a FAQ together, which is long gone now. But that was a pretty good community effort.

I don't remember it always being as bad as it is now. But I think its time has finally come. Oh well.

Everything ends badly. Otherwise, it wouldn't end.

I can remember getting into some very good discussions over there years ago. Too bad really. You would think that Gary maybe could do something to control the spammers; this site seems to keep 'em under control nicely.

Btw, Dan's just upset because his buddy, Yaws, made him his b!tch over there. I surely do miss their sophisticated <i>repartee</i>. :D

I checked back in today, just to see what was going on, and it's not accepting any posts.

Well that is an improvement then, isn't it.

Sadly, yes. RIP, McGriff's.

Rumors of its demise have been great exaggerated. It's back, although not getting a lot of traffic anymore. That's probably an improvement.

Yaws-I remember that dude when I used to post over there a few years back. I wonder why he never floated over to here. Not that I want him on this board--

I'll give it a try again for a bit. But if that idiot shows up again, I probably won't hang around.

Honestly, PWL, it ain't us. People have been impersonating us for a long time, just trying to stir up trouble. If I have anything to say to you, I'll do it in this forum, or in a PM. Sorry people keep piling crap on, but it's not me or Tim, I promise you.

Jurassic Referee Sun Sep 10, 2006 01:13am

Good Lord, the Unholy Threesome has brought their pissing match to the basketball forum now.

Take it back to McGriffs.....or wherever.
