Just an FYI -

We have 1,600 people on the site right now. That is about average on a Thursday nigth. In those terms, the Huddle hasn't skipped a beat.

The people are still here. I think everyone is still just trying to figure out the new arrangement of the site.

I also think some people are taking a step back and letting the dust settle before diving right back in.

They really do operate like a communist country.

Anyone disagrees or says anything negative about them (they disappear).

Then they have propaganda machine telling everyone how great the place is.

Is that 1,600 registered people, or is part of that just unregistered lurkers?

How many of those 1,600 paid $12? If it's barely any, the Bleacher Seats forum is going to be a jumbled disaster.

Wow...didn't know JJ was capable of anything more than a condescending sentence or short, 2-word post.

It had to be written by someone else.

There could very well be that many on there but they are not getting very many post and they can not twist that fact to serve them well.

Is it really necessary to get personal regarding some of the people behind the Huddle? I know Eric Frantz casually and he seems to be a good guy.

I have not said a bad word about anyone there but I can see why some are so mad that they have said what they have said.

Has anyone been banned for mentioning this site in Private Messages?
No. I just put spaces in between freehuddle.com when I send stuff. I've only sent a couple of messages. I am staying on the inside over there. Not posting on anything, just sending pms, in an effort to recruit from the underground.

Hahahaha, oh man that is classic.

They have to be freaking out as they just torched a $1,000,000 investment.

What's the over/under on how long that site stays online since their shrewd business decision seems to have blown up in their face?

Society wrote: Fellow Huddlers, I really appreciate your support and your help in building a great community over the years.

I also want to thank you for your patience the last few days through this transitional period. We know there have been some glitches and some bugs but we are working through those and will have everything ironed out sooner than later.

As you are aware, in order for us to keep JJ Huddle financially viable to keep offering this service, we need your assistance and understanding with our premium offer. We understand your positions on the new structure and are willing to assist with any questions or concerns but the small, nominal fee we are asking will go a long way to continue to provide the Huddle Nation this great website.

So, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to email us at [email protected] or PM a moderator.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding. We look forward to many more great years ahead!

JJ


Now they have the big guy coming out in support of the huddle. He doesn't even have a financial stake in it and here he is. The number of registrations must not be good at all.

Good call Matt and Eric. You stupid fucks!
I have a new found love for you now Society. LOL

You have been banned for the following reason:
Inappropriate posts.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never


I wish they would have specified which ones.
You joined the rest of us in the mass graves? I didn't even post anything inappropriate. Just spread the word of this site, but that is apparently a no-no in nazi land.

You are an imposter. If this were JJ (your site) you would be banned.

I was doing that too, but they killed me.

Couldn't believe they pulled the plug on on the thread after Natali got called on it. Unbeleivable.

They control the airwaves and still can't win.

Do not be alarmed fellow Titanic passengers.... we meant for the water to come onto the boat!

Just use a proxy server to get there though.

Well this is post #1 on my new home so it should be a well thought out one!!!!!!! First a little background on me!!!!! I have been on the other huddle for 13 years, yes back in the days of the blue and gold text only dark ages!!!!!!! Let's say I am a "JJ" loyalist but anyone can sell out and it appears the "Dark Side" has won out!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm one of those "Classics" that has never paid one cent to that site unless I donated it and I will keep it that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like any new project I'm sure we will be in for a bumpy ride but I have seen this technology from it's infant stages and the bumps get smoothed out much easier now days!!!!!!!!!!! To JJ "It ain't nothin' personal man" AND To MATT & ERIC " Blow ME a kiss when your leavin' " I really should hold myself to higher standards but at my age some things just slip out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU STILL HAVE AN ACCOUNT USE PRIVATE MESSAGES TO ANYONE THAT INQUIRES. BUT SPELL OUT THE TEXT VERTICALLY like this.
Forever since I talked to ya!
Really hoping you'll reply.
Everybody's doing well.
Everybody misses you.
How's things going with you?
Underneath it all I hope you're doing well.
Dare I say I hope you can read vertically.
Don't be discouraged.
Love it or leave it I always say.
Everyone hopes to see you soon
.
Come on!
Off to be with friends.
More to come later!

I've done this a couple of times and they're so busy going gong crazy they haven't caught me yet.
