I know many folks here aren't so keen on the Scout board, but I also know that many people read and post to both.
Is anyone having trouble getting to the site lately? Since they changed the format a few weeks ago, I've periodically been unable to access it, typically getting an "Error! Could not fetch Forum information" message. It's been especially a problem in the last 2-3 days. On the other hand, it will suddenly work too.
Can't figure it out.
Any similar experiences, or explanations?
(Funny, as I'm typing this, I'm finally been able to get in. I guess I'll post a similar thread there.)
Maybe Scout is having technical issues because of Ners posting so much there. ;D FWIW, I haven't had any problems.
Why would anyone wanna go to that site with the strong arm tactics employed by the moderator. I was banned years ago for saying, "who in the hell is IWB"?
Guess I was way ahead of the curve, hey? Fook 'em
Perhaps Dodds has banned everyone but himself.

That's the kind witty response I figured I'd get.

That's the kind of dumb-a$$ remark I worried I'd get. Thanks for your help and insight.

You may dig it there Sultan, he is a big Derrick slurper. More than he was a Buzz slurper.
Dude, I hope you find your way navigatin' Scout, 'cuz that's where you belong.
I enjoy both. Its variations of the same conversations from different perspectives. I appreciate the minimalist approach by the mods here. Dodds moderates much more tightly. It is his board and his choice.

A question I ask myself every day; it's just something you learn to live with after a while... it was nice touch that they started a thread where we could vent about their tyrannical strong-armedness recently that gave the impression of a softened moderator image, but when they shut it down a couple days later, it was pretty clear it was nothing more than a propaganda effort. I suppose you're willing to deal with hard-ass mods when you really love to chat MU with your fellow Scoopers.
Oh wait... you were talking about Scout there, aina?

Scoop's very own Prague Spring...
