I thought the FOA site was going to be finished?

[1argoholic]

What's the point of having both sites? Seems like most still stay on that site.

[argomANIA]

I believe it going to be taken down at the end of the year

[1argoholic]

So I still have time to go out on a blue streaked glory post. hahaha.

[Will]

It looks like it is finished.

So all you folks who haven't made the switch yet, come on over.

[doubleblue]

Whew! I finally got transferred. Those letters and numbers are a challenge. It rejected me about 5 times and was about ready to give up.
I had thought I read on FOA that everyone there would be transferred over again to Argofan.
But I'm here I think.

[marcwagz]

what a dumb idea and a pain in the behind
It makes no sense to force your entire forum into another forum...
It is going to lose a lot of posters especially for a site that doesn't have that many posters to begin with.

[Skinny G]

It's ok if we want to move everything over, but there should probably be some sort of splash page or something telling everything that they should sign onto here. Or an automatic push to this site. Maybe even a message of some sort going to all members of that site by the administrators saying that they will be closing that site and to come to this one...

[argotom]

So what was the reason again the FOA site disappeared?

[argolio]

So FOA has gone off to the great boat scrapyard in the sky.

R.I.P.

[BATKINSON001]

Long live argofans.com then.

Kevin Huntley was mad at the internet... websites everywhere just started crashing as a result.

Let's see ... You?

Beauty!
Merry Christmas Ron.

I believe that the reason for this was because the way that this season went resulted in some, shall we say, drama on the FOA board and it didn't exactly mesh with what the FOA wanted represented through that board. As a result, Mark was nice enough to re-start argofans.com and bring back that which should never have been eliminated in the first place.

[marcwagz]

you mean the first time the site ever gets press it gets shut down?
weak
no press is bad press

[1argoholic]

It was because of po'd folks like me calling coaches names like Eldildo and the like. We were supposed to be Friends Of The Argonauts. I have since agreed that I shouldn't post stuff like that but being friends means that everything in Argoland should be sugar sweet.

Well hopefully it will be sugar sweet next year.

I guess certain people who get involved with a site feel bad and sad for comments made and that the posters of those comments are scum suckers who can't really be true fans. I think the real fans only tweeter at this point. If you don't tweet your scum. By the way I'm not dork enough to tweet.

Sorry about that I'm working on better letters coming soon…

Did send out an email and FOA has had it posted on the site for 3 months. Not sure why anyone would be shocked about this?

Not the first time FOA or argofans.com got press. Should get the whole story before you call us weak

IIRC, the guy who called this move "weak" also complained about the Argos getting Ricky Ray. Maybe some people just can't be pleased?

[Argofan]

Nope I guess not, maybe he will feel better after Christmas

I already celebrated Christmas.

And FYI, I was only upset about the Ricky Ray trade because I get super excited for draft day and trading first round picks bums me out, I knew all along to get him we'd have to give it up. The only saving grace is we didn't have to hand over Owens.

BTW, how on Earth can you think being forcibly moved from one forum board to another can possibly be a good thing? We are definately going to lose members. People know about the Friends of the Argonauts name, not the argos fans one.

We were low on member to begin with, and you (while the other guy more than you) acting like so smug does not help anything.

I'm just worried more then anything, this forum is the only place now that should have active discussion about the argos, the CFL forum hasn't even a drop of team discussion, I just hope this move doesn't kill the forum is all.
