I drop by there every once and awhile when something big happens. Just to look though as I've never made an account. The endless rules seemed like a lot more than just about making the forum good. Hearing this only furthers that notion. 

Shutting things down down like that seems like the adult version of the kid that brought his ball to play with his friends and then takes the ball away if the game isn't going his way. 

That being said the site looks nice and they do have some members that make good post. We all know how much DucksReign loves the site😂

Maybe we should run some ads for this site over there😂 



 

UO AD sent the email below to all season-tic holders Wed. doesn't take a post-bac degree from the state's flagship university to read between the lines.

lots of ugly behavior everywhere these last few years. airplane flights, movie theaters, sporting events, and of course politics. the mini-Tubervilles harassing the UT-Austin players as they beat Bammy a few weeks ago got their ignorant selves a national audience.
Deion has willfully made himself a lightning rod with his talk, attire, and behavior. the ticket prices for tomorrow should help filter out most of the knuckle-draggers, but among 60,000 it only takes a few. here's hoping that all the post-game yak-yak will be only about the players, the game, and the score.

Wow. Love it.

LET'S GO!!!!!

Can we say bad words over here? Im actually a member over there and it has it good merits and bad ones as well. Prior to here and there I was a member of the Duck Dungeon and it was all out troll hell.

Well, I've said a bad word or two, but try not to make a habit of it. 

It's all about context I suspect, and Phil and O.R.G. are good about not being too heave handed.

GREAT news!🥳👍😂 Made my day😁🍾🍻🍹

Ironically I had not visited the site in months but decided to do so just a couple of days ago to see what was happening on it with the impending Colorado game.

He had posted a "warning" that commenters needed to stay clear of personal attacks on Prime and stick to the game itself.

Apparently people had called him out as having a double standard of not allowing commenters to attack each other but it was okay to do so with Prime.

I scrolled through the comments to his request and people were already testing the limits of it...so I am GUESSING it continued to elevate, hence the shutdown.

There is always 2 points to remember about Mr. FishDuck...

1) It is ALWAYS about him...whatever "the issue" may be. Of course it is his site so that is somewhat logical but his ego is so massive and he is one of those people who twists and turns EVERYTHING to be about himself...not about his "beloved Ducks" or the writers who support his fan boy website or the loyal commenters and so forth.

So what will happen is he is now waiting for his supporters to beg him to reopen the forum(stroke his ego); tell them how much the site means to them, etc.🙄

What he should do is just write a blog and not have public comments but his ego couldn't take the lack of attention.

2) Anyone who has so many commenting rules as he does, is going to get tripped up by his own system sooner or later. Yet nobody violates his own rules more than he does!😂

Nobody who cares about Oregon sports will miss his forum😂

Well said.
