On3 to Acquire Rivals
- Thread starter Wrestleknownothing
- Start date
We're hearing over on the PSU site that this Rivals website is disappearing on June 30. I went over to On3 today and did not see a Message Board section for Oklahoma State. But there is one for Oklahoma, PSU, and Iowa. Any discussion as to where you guys are moving to? I'd like to be able to still follow along and keep up with your program.
We are all good. On or before July 1, I would expect the site to migrate over to the On3 tech/message boards infrastructure. On the forums end, we both use the same software, so the changes shouldn't be huge and also likely customizable to what we are all used to of something about the forum setup is just foreign and therefore disliked. I'm confident On3 generally has better tech and a larger team to cover issues.
In instances where rivals has a team site and On3 does too, you may see handful of sites live on on Rivals. Or have two on On3 covered by one subscription. Idk how that end of it will work but Shannon Terry announced the two large Georgia sites on each property will continue on after the merger, and users will get access to the one they didn't have before with no additional cost.
The above doesn't affect us at all but will be an interesting dynamic to observe.
I don't have details and do expect we will see some changes around here (almost or entirely positive), but the site will most definitely keep on keeping on.
Until July 1, nothing is expected to be different than what it has been.
As for this board, I expect it to continue on. They have indicated we should be able to migrate all of the boards' data. Posts, post history, user names/info, all of it.
I suspect we will also get some new abilities to change things like the board name.
Shannon Terry looks just like I thought he would. Somebody needs to knock the **** out of that stupid looking sobBased on tweets from Shannon Terry this does not appear to be the case.
I guess what he's saying is that they don't want to pay for the extra servers if they don't have to. If enough people migrate over, then they won't add the history. If migration goes poorly, then they may have to add it and the expense to gain better traction. There is no other way to read his post.
Iām not particularly heart broken that my **** posting history will get lost.
Do you also have an alternative definition for is that we need to know about?
