GYERO
- Thread starter AndyPolleydotcom
- Start date
Before they close down shop. After some 17 years, I'd like to apologize to Wildcat Willy, wherever he may be. You were right about Dale Earnhardt Jr.
What a bunch of bullThe general discussion board is going away. GYERO will be moved to the new free board on on3, I think called Rupps Rafters. Like it did when CI and on3 merged, it may take some time for all of it to move over, but the history of it will be there eventually. The boards will merge this afternoon from what I understand.

Matt saved GYERO by telling them they have to import it all onto the new free board. But that board is called Rupps Rafters so......
What a hero. GYERO is saved.
Matt thought he’d save GYERO with an overture to keep the thread alive on the new free board.
Instead, he turned Anth into the emperor of a new GYERO off the site.
Anth gets the last slap

On3 is getting away from all free forums if any sort. Justin and I both convinced him that they should leave Rupps Rafters and I personally said we should do the same for GYERO. On3 would rather have had neither
I know it’s not ideal for folks but I do hope people keep participating

In that case, On3, JMI, and Mitch Barnhart can kiss my *** then.
The Disco Strangler Johson is right about Hank Camacho Johnson.
Gyero was on life support as it was because of the new site. Rafters would've killed it. Appreciate the effort, buddy, but no chance we're posting on rafters. End of an era.
On3 going pay-only for message boards, which have progressively become more and more antiquated, seems like a good way to drive away traffic.
But what do I know? I'm no internet ball. I don't wish them luck.

Goodnight gentlemen, it’s been a privilege playing with you.

Maglore52 is no more. He became the thing he hated the most.
Unbelievably, I’m not sure how many times we moved to new boards. Lot of years and memories spent with all you fools. Hopefully, there’s another option, this is definitely the best place for Wildcat friends. Until then, keep your head towards the wind and your heart in Kentucky!!
it happens to most once they enter the real world and realize it’s dog-eat-dog.
someone once told me that if you are under 30 and not a democrat you have no heart but if you are over 30 and not a republican then either you have no brain or money. I guess what I’m saying is money talks.
edit: and there is absolutely nothing wrong that
The group chat function is limited to 100 posters max. I can start a GYERO channel if you want.
In the words of Dr. Seuss and Vin Scully, "don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened."
Vaya con Dios Wildcat Friends!

The end of an era. I never posted here, but I’ve read your all’s ******** for decades now. I wish you all well.
Reminds me: It's 1998 in San Antonio, the Sunday between Final Four games. We're getting hammered at a Mexican restaurant on the Riverwalk.
Plenty of UNC fans still around and in the restaurant, even though Utah monumentally upset them the night before.
The walking Mariachi band comes to our table and we had them play "Vaya Con Dios, North Carolina", which they sang in earnest and with lovely Spanish accents. Pissed off a lot of UNC fans. Made a lot of others laugh.
^Seems like a fitting farewell post for the new GYERO, so thanks for setting the table on that, beagle.
Coming from someone who gets butt hurt over the slightest dig and bans/blocks people, this is rich.
I think Rafters needs a Math Bowl thread.
Now for something completely different: Gyero in Nigeria is the name of a plant defined with Pennisetum glaucum in various botanical sources.
Driving out the folks who helped BUILD the site going back 15 years. Bravo On3.
I actually met people in person because of GYERO, went to the Notre Dame NIT game, ran Bourbon Chase, etc.
Take care
Remember when you said GYERO would live forever and then Matt Jones saved GYERO in the great merger of 2026? Yeah, that was cool.

See everyone on the new GYERO chat. This one has been limping to the finish line since the last merger.
Raftards, Bond that Bridgers, etc, take note:

I don't think I ever learned to post images or tie a tie or anything really. No clue what any of that stuff is but I signed up for an account. It's always darkest before you cry it's over but just be glad it happened at dawn or however it goes.
