McGriff's

Is McGriff's forum totally shut down now? The "betting line" posts are gone, but I couldn't post to it.

I thought you did not go back there anymore?

It appears that Gary has just locked up the site. I am surprised this is the first reference I have read to that site.

Peace

I decided to give it One More Try.

Couldn't tell you. I gave it up about three weeks ago.

I used a tabbed browser called Maxthon. It has all the boards that I frequent saved as a group. I deleted McGriff's basketball and football boards from the group. I have no intention of going back there.

I wouldn't either, if I could get onto the FED boards.

I used to get there via the Colorado Springs IAABO website. But I have not gone there for quite awhile. I cannot remember who the ill informed joker was on that board, so it is good that I am not able to go back and remind myself.

According to their records, there is a username "ChuckElias."

Have you forgotten your password?

Man, Gary got it back up and running, and it's already crawling with those spam messages. I wouldn't be surprised if Gary just shuts it down. Too bad. It used to be a great place.

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 repartee.

I remember that. It was great!
