“Is Merging Into” … so will “Cats Illustrated” exist after the merge?

Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“Most everything you enjoy about KSR and Cats Illustrated will not change. Both domain addresses will still be accessible. There will be the free site, KentuckySportsRadio.com, managed by Tyler Thompson, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and is the most trafficked team college sports website in America. If you are a KSR+ subscriber, you will now have access to two message boards: KSBoard, which will include all of the KSR writers and their information, and House of Blue, which will be managed exclusively by Justin Rowland and contain his writings and inside information. Two different message boards with two different styles, each of which will be part of the same subscription…”

Clarification on the future of Rupp Rafters may be found here on another RR Thread. “…There will be some free forums that are closed but this free board will remain. It will still be called Rupp Rafters….”

Does this mean you can’t speak a negative word about how Shannon the dude brings nothing to the table, and Matt spends 10 mins talking about his awesome life while we just patiently wait for UK recruiting or coaching news?
Justin did say no attacks on the KSR staff. I hope things just stay as is with us and all will be good.

Most Kentucky Wildcats boards are already on life support as it is. Between mergers, people losing interest in Kentucky sports, people moving to the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Reddit along with people getting older or worse potentially even dying, there isn’t much room for traditional sports forums anymore. It’s sad. Even this board used to be much busier a decade ago and even more a decade before that.

All the Facebook groups are horrible imo. Combinations of trolls and people who don’t know or care too much about basketball at least in any technical sense. Not within miles of this forum.

Yes this is true... I'd wager we likely have 10 more years of participation on the forums.
