Are they allowed back? I heard some of them had been kicked out and that was the reason they went to DaBears.
I think only one was permabanned from that site. DBS did become pretty popular as a "vacation spot" for temp bans. This place is too much work to get inside so, I don't see that happening here. I was lurking around CCS this morning and I saw most of them already posting there again.
Good, then the plan is working. The secret password is "swordfish" but keep it on the QT huh?
If no one else has answered this I will. It was the name former XFL'er Rod Smart had on the back of his jersey. Kinda ironic since HHM was on the biggest haters around and yet smart did it to denounce haters which is just one more example of HHM level of intellect.
Jim Weber runs LostLettermen.com, devoted to keeping tabs on former players and other bits of nostalgia. Today he catches up with former XFL star and Carolina Panther Rod Smart.
Rod Smart knows a thing or two about making a name for himself.
He was the XFL player that became a cultural phenomenon in 2001 by having the words “He Hate Me” plastered on the back of his uniform to denounce haters everywhere, bringing him instant fame for his self-promotional genius. Brash personalities apparently run in the family; his cousin just so happens to be former Philadelphia Eagle Freddie Mitchell, the self-proclaimed “People’s Champ.”
Now, nearly a decade later, Smart is trying to get noticed in his first passion: acting. That includes the male lead role in an independent film released earlier this year called “Don’t Blame The Lettuce” and other gigs from his home base in Charlotte, N.C., while he plots his jump to Hollywood.
“I want to build my resume so when I do go out there, I have a sword and shield to fight with, instead of jumping into the fire without any armor,” said the always-witty Smart.
Silly me. And i thought it was just because people hated him.
Well sad to see it go as that is where I got my real start in Bears fandom and posting online but all good things come to and end. Alex wil be handing the baton over to his kids in 20 years and we will all be in recliners enjoying retirement. Something like that right Alex?

Exactly right, although who knows about this Internet thing in 20y

We won't use computers. Just cerebral implants. The Brain Rod.
The evolution of the Chicago Bears rod. George will be a Billionaire.
Not in the least. Ski lost passion for the board a long time ago... even before the arrival of the asses.
He started talking about the lack of passion for the Bears around 15 months, or so, ago. Couple that with his extremely busy life, after retiring from the USN, and he simply didn't have passion OR time. After the USN he was able to focus more on the family, higher education, and simply do those things that are so very difficult to do when active duty and deployed. This kept him from being able to dedicate any time towards board improvements (snap-in's, template's, etc.). The hosting fee's weren't an issue at all (trust me on this one), and neither was the influx of the asses (this one as well). So... after working all day, attending college half the night, etc., he got on the board and it was so.damn.serious. because us moderators and administrators were doing our thing, it just... tired him out. He has a very thick skin (as pretty much all of us Navy folk do), and he couldn't understand how wimpy some of the board was and decided that he would open it up (and told the mods to lighten up) in a more "relaxed" atmosphere. But the result of that relaxation has absolutely nothing to do with the closing of DBS. He simply tired of the whole thing. Creating a new board, one for the Jag's, would be something interesting, fun, and creative, so that is likely what he will do.

It's too bad someone wasn't able and willing to take over ownership of the board from him. I was hoping somebody would take it on. I understand and can appreciate Ski's life changing. Our life situations do change over the years, so I can understand Ski wanting to move on with his life to other things. It sounds like he was recently retired. I hope he has a great retirement.
We have the luxury of coming and going on messageboards any time we want. Zero responsibility. Zero commitment required. To actually be responsible for a board would be quite a commitment if you really tried to do it right.
