scout site

[dubs98]

IWB please delete this if you would prefer not to have this discussion on your board. I believe you are friends with Dodds and therefore I am hoping it is ok if I ask a few questions on your board since I can not access the scout one. I was already looking into switching my premium membership to your board once my time is up on scout, but the recent changes may accelerate that decision. Either way, I would like to still support the free board and freq it, however I am unable to access it. Does anyone know if your old ID/password should still work or do you have to create a new login/registration with fox sports? Also, can anyone verify if Dodds is still going to moderate the site? I find it strange that there has not been any comments from him (or scout/fox sports for that matter) regarding the changes and/or directing us how to access the system/new features. I think Dodds has done a nice job over the years of offering a nice site and it would be a shame to see it vanish so quickly. Either way, glad that brewcityball is around!

You can still access the new message boards with your current username and password.

Yes, John Dodds will still moderate. Here is the issue that I think you are seeing. The MarquetteHoops site has not officially rolled over yet. If you go straight to the old message boards, it is what most are currently using. If you go in through Scout or through the homepage, you go to the new message board, and the majority of the MarquetteHoops posters have not posted there yet.

Here is the link to the regular board if you need it..... http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=415

Got to love Doddsy's comment about the new Scout/Fox roll out, "I feel like I'm in the backseat of a car being operated by Toonces the Driving Cat".

Awesome line from an old SNL bit.

To me it's idiotic that Fox would roll out a new look only 3 weeks from the signing period, but thats the way some computer people think or don't think.

Scout thinks football, not basketball.

If it's any consolation to anyone, BadgerNation is experienceing the same problems, and people aren't happy.

thanks. that was the issue (at least in regards to accessing the site.) I had no idea the old one was still around as I was just redirected to the new one. What a terrible job by fox of communicating these changes to anyone. I would not want to be in Dodds position and have to deal with that. Thanks for allowing me to ask about this on your site.

I live in Ann Arbor and eventually checked out the U of M scout site for FBall and it is not going any better for the football group. Sounds like several canceled their subscriptions yesterday. Fball, Bball, either way, not well done.

I didn't think you could do that after you committed for a year.

You couldn't. Even after being banned they wouldn't refund the remainder of my subscription, and the moderator refused to respond to any of my PMs.
