I honestly think that was intentional. I think that they thought that if they went pay right when the playoffs started that everyone would pay up because they wouldn't want to miss out on the playoff discussion. The only error in their thinking was they they still had free forums where everyone could post the same content without paying. I think they also didn't expect someone to start a rebel site or that it would be as successful as this place has been.

The OC was only successful because we had the best rebel leader ever.

By the time 1 year actually hits we'll be sitting at right around 550k posts. I'd wonder how many posts the other place has had in the past year but I don't really care.

Haha. Those numbers aren't even close to accurate. At least the pageviews and daily ad revenue aren't. The others could be, I have no idea.

I still remember when this site was just a white page that said "coming soon.....that's what she said".

What was the first thread and post?

First thread. "I'll be at the New Philadelphia park tonight."

First post, "I'll have a bag of Skittles in my van, ask for Wes."

I think the first thread was either Darkon posting some boobs or Tiernan or Sleeper going all batshit over Notre Dame.

I honestly figured that this place wouldn't last either. I honestly thought people would brood around here for a few weeks and then everyone else would end up back over on JJ. Just goes to show what not being a complete a-hole can do for you when running a site.
I thought justincredible ran this site?

Yeah the whole time we were in Akron watching the Iowa game, She was texting you the WHOLE time and ignoring me and tooth. :) But me and her did manage to put down like 88 dollars in bud light.
