    To be fair, it's a thread about the demise of a rival Jet board.

    It's not like someone's derailing one of the threads about the lack of cornerbacks.

    I think Jets offense will surprise people this year, maybe even TGG's optimists



    That is an example above of your own work, they have posted my NBA quote multiple times, no quotation marks, no credit to me either, as well as other illegal quotes.

    I wasn't aware there was a pick and choose process.

    I just noticed this thread.... well, JI.com and this site had quite a few flame wars in the past but all those altercations ended when BBCF got exposed (if you remember BBCF, you gotta be a true veteran of football message boards :) ). I started TGG.com one year after Sooth founded JI.com and it's kinda sad to see them go off the independent route. But I guess Sooth was made an offer he couldn't refuse. Good luck to him and JI.com!

    P.S. I'd guess that most people who no longer want to be there will go to JN.com, as that site pretty much branched off JI.com.

    P.P.S. Stop hijacking threads already! I'll start giving out permabans for derailing threads. Last warning!

    Ok. So by "illegal" you mean "not attributed to author"?

    BBCF was about as shameless a troll as I saw in the early days.

    We have a new breed now. Still just as shameless, though.

    Btw, I just went through my mail - scout.com contacted me back in May, offering a "possible affiliation opportunity" but I never bothered to respond.

    You snooze you lose! Just think, you could have enough money to make payments on a Kia and still be lucky enough to run a forum that isn't yours anymore.

    A-fucking-men. I say blast both of their tiresome acts back to JO or JI or whatever shithole they crawled out of.

    I hate to break the news to you, but plagiarism is not a crime and there is no such thing as "an illegal quote." Please stop. Nobody cares. We are here to talk about the Jets, not about you.

    "Undocumented quote" is considered de rigueur these days Joe Wille. ;)

    Jet Insider: don't know 'em, never spent a day there, and could care less about them. Sincerely, I don't know why this thread should be considered sacred ground where "the proprieties are to be observed" and I honestly don't see any sparring here as respesenting unconscionable irreverence in the midst of some solemn funeral of a dear and departed friend. In short I could care less if someone was figuratively dancing on J.I.'s grave here in this "non-TGG" thread. Just my 2 cents.

    Not my job to ask but did they offer any money or was it just a feeler? By the way thanks for refusing it.

    They said "there will be no money, but on your deathbed, you will achieve total consciousness."

    So he had that going for him.

    How much do you think JI forum got sold to Scout for?

    I should know these types of things as I work in a similar field and we acquired the #1 fan forum for a sport a while back.

    Probably different circumstances as these are team forums

    No, it was just a feeler. I never responded and never heard from them again. I don't think they would have offered any money unless I met with them in person and signed some kinda NDA. The owner of JN.com also got a similar email and did meet with them, according to what I read on JN.com. They asked him to sign an NDA before getting into the $$$ specifics and he backed out.

    It's funny reading the JI thread, they are already having a turf war with the existing Scout.com Jets fans.
