Backpeddling because of the outrage from Scout subscribers and negative response on the new boards. Scout boards (like this one) could get a reprieve. I can't find a reliable link so for now, it's just rumor.

Read the link on the WSN board. If so, it's great news! The only thing is that the changeover is inevitable. Hopefully they get their act together the next time around. If not, this board is nicely set to take on the load.

I figure, it's still only a temporary reprieve. Eventually, it's going over to FOX--no ifs ands or buts. Even if the revised Fox boards run smoother, you're still going to have major advertising and stuff and we'd still be beholden to Fox's rules and regs (no matter how restrictive or lax they might be). I have to say, this Warrior Nation (WN) board has really started to grow on me. I'm liking it more and more. Mostly, I'm liking the "no corporate ownership" part...

Yah Im starting to like the feel of this WN board quite a bit. I feel like we got a new place to "hang" that let's us be us.

This is only temporary. At some point, Fox is going to take over--at least, that's how I read the post.

How much you wanna bet they are gonna change the forums format there completely. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I don't think they have a choice really. It's so bad in its first iteration that no one is going to patronize it. The bottom will fall out if they don't make some major changes. Even then, the damage may have already been done--look at how we've already started to migrate over to the WN--people aren't going to wait around for them to get it right.

Agreed. It will take some major changes (complete overhaul) for Fox sports to retain the membership there! They should never have tried to change it in the first place.

I'm surprised they simply didn't take the Scout boards format as it was, just change the titles to FOX or whatever--then gradually, over time, convert it to what they wanted. (We need a "shrugs" smiley...)
