You ask so I answer. Reno or RenoDeluxe as he also went by (and that moniker is banned over here) was no insider. I suspect you are confusing him with Jup.Not sure who banned him here or what he went by.... What was wrong with Reno over at IBI? Wasn't he an insider?
Take the worst qualities of the DickyLeftridge posts, multiple that by 5 and then have all that trash coming from more than 5 accounts each day.
The ignore feature was limited to 5 accounts so even using that still meant board members would see the drivel.
On top of that he would have ghost conversations with himself across those account.
In all he was putting up on average 40 posts a day from his own or his ghost accounts. If you had the account on ignore the posting line would still appear but post itself was hidden. Reading a page of chat was suddenly like reading with window blinds partially closed. A page with 30 posts would have maybe 6 or 7 posts not "hidden" so it was very difficult to read & follow along.
One of the current board members here suffered multiple personal attacks from these accounts.
Worse the board moderators all vanished or had their mod capabilities taken away. What had been a good board for insight and conversation was soon a shitshow of epic proportions. Once 24/7 Sports indicated they were closing things down in a few months, the search was on for a new place.
A guy I knew (@Booyas, mainly in the Browns section) mentioned this place and I got onto the baseball pages. Then it was myself and @Obscured By Clouds trying to contact legit posters over then & get them headed this way.
I think in all it has been a great union of chat and insight, but even great situations have some bumps in the road. Hopefully that is all it is with Dicky (a bump in the road), but it is on him moving forward.
