    hey Clutch, earlier a historic thread popped up as active somehow (noone has posted in the thread since 09/99). I tried to post an 'outcome' question to the thread and notta happened.

    Obviously that stuff got straightened out, but was there a follow up post that described what happened?

    Stroshow brought it back with some stupid comment, then other people were making posts as if it was recent news, not noticing the dates.

    So I guess Clutch just decided to not let people post on it because of the potential posts people would make saying "We're behind you clutch, call the chronicle!!!" all over again.

    So what exactly happened there?

    Obviously the site was not shut down, and the team isn't referred to as the Mobleys, but how exactly did it come about?

    On the topic of sports leagues shutting sites down, I see that BudAdams.com, which was a fansite for the Titans and Bud Adams (as silly as that may sound to us), has been shut down. The domain comes back as being owned by the NFL now. I haven't gotten the story, but it appears that the NFL swooped in and shut down the Pro-Bud Adams site. (Ironically, AntiBud.com - The Anti Bud Adams site is still up and running with no problems, and no contact from the NFL at all).

    StroShow posted in the thread at 1:41 am that morning. I happened to be up at 2am and deleted it.... but there was a response at 2:21am, after I went to bed, and when I woke up there were emails in my inbox and about 10-12 active responses to a year and a half old thread.

    The situation was handled... we have a terrific relationship with the team, however that doesn't mean the NBA itself won't come down again.

    So I prefer to let this go... [​IMG]

    "I like your style, Dude."

    "Well, thanks man, I dig your style, too. You got the whole cowboy thing going there."

    "Thank you. There's just one thing, Dude. Do you have to use so many curse words?"

    "What the **** are you talking about?"

    "Have it your way, Dude."

    God, I love this movie. When it came out, all my friends and I quoted it to each other constantly.

    The Coen brothers are freakin' geniuses.
