Hawk site shut-down

[Wesley]

Actually I thought it was like an alternate universe.

I was totally impressed with alll the work that people put into it. I could see some synergy coming into play. I liked the idea. Maybe a poll question?

Speaking of features, will we have an area links to facebook at this site like we do for blogs?

And I bet all those credits yesterday. I will never get them back now...

Miller isn't the one against alternative sites (I should know). That would be Kakert (HR).

We're not Hawk fans and even though Hawks were going to run the site, it just really needs to be Hawks involved in every level of it in my opinion and I don't want to have any part of the site going forward because I'm not just a money-grubbing guy - obviously. It could have been beneficial monetarily but money isn't everything.

2- I have something setup to track donations vs targets but I have it disabled because I just hate pestering people about it. Not everybody can or wants to donate and I'm not one to purposely nag people. If people want to donate, that would be terrific, but I don't want them to feel like they have to to be on equal ground.

Again, I don't want to pry into your personal matters, but how is CF doing? Is it profitable? If not, or if it barely profitable, let people know. I would be happy to donate a lot more since I am such an addict here, but if it is not even a drop in the bucket I wont worry. If donating actually helps the cause, then I am in.

Jeremy, just pm'd you.

I have to agree with what seemed to be the majority saying that you need to do what is best for you. I would hope that some of us here enjoying a great free board that allows everything it does would not interfere in any of your business decisions outside of the current CF site. You have a great setup here and if others are willing to pay you for that, outstanding! This site here should be the one that matters to those on this board, by leasing/selling the platform you are not downgrading the quality of this site at all and it would be ridiculous for anyone to speculate otherwise.

[Wesley]

Could you lease it to other Big 12 schools. I am thinking like fans of Baylor or Colorado? How about UNI fans who are in a different conference?

Take a poll.

[SeattleClone]

Jeremy, thank you for buying your soul back.

[isugcs]

I say do what's in the best interest of you (monetarily), the existence of HF doesn't offend me.

Four free sites for Hawk boards? Is the Hawk Rivals site free? Just curious.

[Angie]

I think BigXIIFanatic.com and some of those other names leased are a fantastic idea. We have a lot of respectful posters from some of our Big XII rivals, and it would be an interesting forum. You could have different forums for each of the schools, as well as an overall forum for discussions of how the Big XII dominates the other conferences!!

it could be like ValleyTalk Forums - Powered by vBulletin. that's a very good site for missouri valley talk.

I just popped over there - that's a great idea! And it looks like they do a great job of moderating it - what a great way to make brothers/sisters out of all of the fans nation-wide!

I say only lease it to respectful schools, i.e. Baylor and hmmmm:)
