    This was a BBS announcement in early June. I'm just going to post it here so it's still active and also can be discussed.

    --------------------------------

    Please do not post the full text of subscription articles on the ClutchFans forums.

    Specifically, I'm referring to the the paywall articles from the Houston Chronicle and The Athletic that on occasion are being posted here in full. I don't want CF to be a backdoor to subscribing. The Houston Chronicle is 99 cents for 6 months. It's currently $1 a month at The Athletic for 6 months. It's not expensive.

    If there's something newsworthy, I consider it totally fair to quote it or cite a paragraph or two (at most) and include a link to the story. But please don't post more than that. Those writers get paid off of subscriptions and I want our forums to be fair to them.

    Thanks!

    It's not even a proper apology. Iko should pay us to read that crap.
