Hey, did you guys know that Nan has forbidden all posts from Volnation being quoted on TOB and now all conversation even discussed. Well, that's no fun!

She is awful. Same for Tom. The women's board is like a country club at a retirement community and the men's board is like a frat house. |

As best I could tell at the time, Nan or whomever; banned me on TOB for criticizing former Tennessee Coach Holly Warlick during their 6 game losing streak? There's so much SEC $$$$$$$ floating around hillbilly vol nation that perhaps Nan is a paid double agent for them?? BTW...shortly after my banishment, Holly was fired..........  |

TOB has had a policy of no outside board quotes for a while and not even general discussions of topics from other boards. Easily the most watched thread there is recruiting and Nan guards it like the crown jewels. When I go there it's like returning to the 3rd grade.

Easily the most watched thread there is recruiting and Nan guards it like the crown jewels. When I go there it's like returning to the 3rd grade. The Irony isssssssssssss (well, to me it is)....that the once and only UConn Only fan board was UConn only, until about a year before the birth of this masterpiece place (and I mean that - some of the discussions are peers of and sometimes eclipse the Byard of old) when it became a click hungry free for all for other teams...no longer following the OTB rules which was so galling to many of us. So why then would they not introduce quotes from other fanboards? (More clicks you know, more cha- ching - so banning is odd, doncha know...). I have to say that we don't encourage it nor do we discourage it, and so far (knock wood) no one has crossed any line not yet drawn. Chappy has authored our manifesto - and all but one or two to date has adhered to it. Some of those fan boards (not mentioning any orange names) are such that you wonder how their species has survived for this long. Maybe that MOD on TOB has come to realize that the animal that she has released is quite unruly and finds it difficult to reign it in. Maybe she misses the old guard. Maybe she is stubborn to the point where she cannot admit she made a mistake clamping down on us former TOB'ers.. So sad...too bad.... I didn't like being treated like a child on that other board. It is her fault that the board is the way it is. and it is her problem. |

On the other hand, a UConn board should give UConn fans far more latitude when talking about other teams, their coaches, their fans, their REFS and their media lap dogs. This obsession Nan has with making the other board the most respected board in the world is a wee bit narcissistic. The whole, don't make us look bad by complaining about the refs is particularly pathetic. We are sports fans not sports eunics. Is that spelled right? |

Well, far be it for me that I should be arguing on behalf of Nan about how her board conducts itself. Perhaps you should take it up with her. Always go straight to the source. You appear to be quite new...so you are not accustomed to my er style of irony....yet, being new, you would have of course read the STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES to which I refer as the "manifesto"...in jest. And finally no. It is spelled correctly as "eunuch" although I giggled as I imagined a fan having his basketballs cut off.... Oh, that irony.... |

Radylady and I go way back on that board. There was a poster who was a fan of another team that posted on TOB. He continually posted obnoxious things and one time he called Radylady a cancer. I took offense to that and came to the defense of my friend in a Doggydaddy kind of way.
I was warned to stop. They even prevented me from seeing that poster using their moderator powers. Well, being the jerk I can be, I logged off so I could see the idiot and then logged back on and replied.
The mods got pissed and banned me. I emailed them (they were actual friends that I say at games with) and I asked for how long. I was told forever. I said really? Are you kidding me? They said people complain about me. So they have had enough having to deal with it.
That was October 2014. I asked a few times since then about coming back and I don't even get a response.
So, here I am among friend who appreciate my jerkiness. I love you all!!

So, here I am among friend who appreciate my jerkiness. I love you all!! I've said this before. I posted maybe ten times total. Mostly agreeing with someone or a short reply to a question. All basketball. No insults, no hot takes, absolutely nothing offensive in any way. I was banned for "spam". In ten replies to existing threads!?!?! I suspect that I was mistaken for someone else, but never got any responses to my requests for a review or a reprieve or even an explanation. Used a new email and new account, and tried private message, only to have that account banned ... with NO posts!!! Tracked down Nan's email (not easy) and tried to plead my case ... again no response. So in addition to not liking some of the BS over there, I really hate being wronged and having my accuser also be the judge and jury. That isn't America. To I flipped them the proverbial bird and found this better board. Never going back. I thank you all as well! |

That guy was a donkey butt - and did he get banned? Nope! I bet the she elf paid him to say nasty things about me. She didn't like it when I called her out. Say, if that guy ever comes looking to join here, someone give him the wrong directions...be like Slewbopper - tell him we merged with the Rutgers board in pissedthataway.... |

Yeah, I quit in protest to the treatment of Doggy and never looked back, especially after Nan would not let me post a link to his blog. That was the LAST effing straw. It's the best thing to read, fer the lov a Mike.

Having everyone like their little board and them is more important to them than truth. We all seek approval to some degree. When it is an obsession, it is a sign of a psychological deficiency that most people just call mental weakness. |

I always suspected Nan is a PAID MOD, paid by temery. And like a good employee, she does what she is told (but she also enjoys power thrill of enforcement). When I put my tin-foil conspiracy hat on, I sometimes wonder if temery owns OTHER boards, like say a rival school board, and that might explain why some folks are never chastised or banned, no matter what tripe they push.
Most importantly however, this board is a wonderful home. Which I appreciate every day.

Most importantly however, this board is a wonderful home. Which I appreciate every day. I'm almost certain she is paid. Tom generates revenue from the advertising. I don't know him at all and don't want to be unfair about this. He's got another business and he's a huge UConn booster. But the site does make money and I'm almost certain the mods are paid. Everyone's a jerk sometimes. The bigger the site, the more jerky posts. They get a lot of jerky posts. I'm not defending Nan: I left because of her (and Tom), who were humiliating people in front of everyone else. They have no overriding philosophy or sense of the whole. They respond pretty much in real time without some method in mind. So they act jerky to jerky posts....and sometimes jerky to non-jerky posts. |
