All of a sudden I cant access pullman square board. I click on a message and it says it is a premium board and I cant access threads. Any idea whats going on
Mods a question

We have decided that we no longer want a smack forum on HerdNation.com. It's 75% of our headaches and does nothing for our site. Another 20% of our headaches are related to Pullman. We decided to bring it under the premium umbrella.
That leaves Herd Nation as the only free board on this site. In regards to moderating it, little changes other than if folks decide to talk politics or religion on here, as long as it is civil, we will leave it. The same goes for opponents. If it is civil, it stays. If there is a little joking, light-hearted smack or ribbing, we've asked mods to use their own judgement but lean towards not being heavy handed.
Our rules have always been pretty simple - don't bring personal information to the site, make it about the argument, not the person & have fun. We would like to see Herd Nation return to that. Somewhere over the last few years, we've gotten away from that and I take the blame.
Thanks

Wow that sucks. I dont know how that will work out for you but hopefully you get the results you want. I dont agree with that at all and think it was a knee jerk reaction.
Actually just the opposite. After a very long consideration (months), Mike had decided last week to close TITM. Most of the mods. we're in favor. They felt like it was just nastiness and was no longer fun.
I asked Mike to see if we couldn't take a stab at cleaning the forum up first. I've always been a big supporter of it. Unfortunately that back fired. What they worried would happen is exactly what happen.
This morning I had to admit that Mike and the mods were right and I was wrong so I relented.
I was talking about Pullman. I think that was a knee jerk reaction to a problem that really was not existent on that board
What a crock of BS. This board after January will be a waste of space. The boards go away because the mods were either too lazy or complacent to police it for years, so you just cut it? And to boot you make the Pullman a paid site?
Don't blame the mods. It's not their fault. Blame me. I'm the asshole.
We are going to be a little... stress the word little... more liberal with WVU fans and Pullman Square talk on this forum. The hope is the mods can concentrate on one forum and we can get a few more folks involved in both sides of the coin.
No more Pullman and WVU fans more allowed to post on the Marshall board.
There's literally no reason for me to come here anymore.

I have already emailed the producer to change it back. As soon as she can make the change.
This is all ridiculous and a bad knee jerk reaction. And allowing the wvu people on the main board, that will not turn out well. This is all just sad.
The Rivals staff are on the West Coast, my hope is its tonight or tomorrow. Could be as late as Monday depending on if she waits to complete the request until she gets back in the office.

I'm at the mercy of our producer. I emailed the request to her last night. Hopefully she will be able to get it done for us this weekend. If could be as late as Monday if she waits to process the request when she gets in the office. As soon as I find out it's open I'll let everyone know too.
The reason I asked is because there were/are new posts made to that forum. Technology is a funny thing it can work for some people at times and not at all for others. No need for the douchey response
I understand it is a difficult concept to wrap your mind around the fact that the new posts were done so by paying members.
Paying members aren't differentiated from no paying members when listed as thread author. I know they left Pullman open to paying members but there's no way to know who is who so once agin my question was validI understand it is a difficult concept to wrap your mind around the fact that the new posts were done so by paying members.
It's moot because it's going back to free. But if I pay, it's because I want recruiting info, stories and insider info. I will not pay to talk politics and religion.
My comment was meant to be a blanket comment. I just find it funny that there are some people who live on these boards (check their message post total) but don't pay for any of use of it. Then when something happens, they expect the mods to be at their beck & call.
I find it peculiar, not funny actually, that you would care if I ask a moderator a simple question.
