WHY DO THIS?

[Bluesbrother]

Why has all this "change" taken place? Who is responsible for this upheaval? Just wondering.

 

[RexBowie]

Corporate merger. That simple. Shannon Terry started Rivals then sold it, then started On3 and bought back Rivals. I’m sure there are other parties involved but he’s the front man. Yahoo also still has some stake in On3 apparently

I'm curious what happens with the recruit databases and the scouts who help rank these recruits. Will there continue to be separate databases between the On3 and Rivals evaluation teams? Or will they be merged? For now at least, it seems the Rivals ratings are still showing up in the cumulative player rankings/ratings.

BTW, whatever happened to the old Scout.com sites? Did they simply go out of business or did On3 or 24/7 acquire them? I can't remember. Someone should bring Scout back just so we'll have a 4th recruit ranking/rating system to maintain the status quo. LOL.

Kudos to Terry for basically creating the exact same website three times and having corporations pay millions for them each time.

Mark Cuban sold 3 internet businesses and made himself one of the wealthiest Americans. All 3 websites he sold went bankrupt. Lol
Merica!

It will always be the "Cats Pause" in my bookmarks.

 

[Catfan4life-original]

Put it in reverse Terry!

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Wow this site is dog@#$%. Really clear way to let us know you don't care about us.

 

[KyKevin]

Money, it's the root of all evil, they don't care if they just screwed up a great forum

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Wow, woke up today finding that this site has gone through quite the changes lmao

 

[DKersey]

I have my doubts that this site Will Survive and predicting it'll be gone within 2 years time and the new buyer will not survive at all

 

[Goingfor9]

They have tried to make us welcomed. They did have to do any of that. I know it would be a lot of unhappy cat fans but they seem to have gone the extra mile. I think @Matt Jones had something to do with that. So be grateful. I am

My biggest complaint is that we will no longer have people necro threads from 10 years ago to make another member look like an idiot for not being able to see into the future. I will miss the pointing and laughing.
