Thanks Phil....  I too was targeted by certain other posters (fanatic66 specifically made several accounts just to flag my posts regardless of content). He would then email Odom and have my account removed.  I have changed names so many times I’m not sure who I am because of it.  My posts were clean until they went after me for no reason, then I got personal.  Don’t anticipate doing that at all here. Just would like to talk sports without being targeted by thin-skinned beaver fans like him.  Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for setting this up. I have enjoyed the comments section on Olive better than most articles and was sad it was leaving. It's a shame a news company based on users commenting had to get rid of comments due to people having different opinions than them. Unfortunately we won't get to see Ken Goe reply when he is getting roasted for pointless articles. At least we won't have to deal with that one crazy person who was obsessed with commenting and switching profiles.

I'm glad to have all of you here, thanks for joining! I'll miss Ken too, he was always such a good sport with joining in on the comments and taking things in stride. Maybe we could reach out and try to get him on here? 

Lurked but never commented on O-Live, didn't like the troll dynamic.  If you'll keep them down here, I'll enjoy it.

this is good, a lot of people have registered already, names I'm familiar with and respect,.. and no screwball, mr popes,.. he's clearly touched in the head, I can't imagine him not trolling, lol, maybe he'll take his act to the, Seattle Times, and harass the puppies

I won't be surprised if he makes the attempt to join, but Phil won't put up with him once we out the guy. Great to see you join.

This is a great idea Phil.  Even though I never contributed to Olive discussions, I will here.  Between the paywall of 247 and the light traffic of C4Q I had given up reading any Duck forums.  I really hope this one takes off.  Good luck.

I gave up on 247, and followed Justin to scoopduck, but finally got tired of all the gossip. Now I'm not hooked up with any site, but I do think this place will be fun.
