    I'm just going to leave this here:

    From PD:

    I have been asked to keep the line moving as Fredi says. Jerry Starke has stepped down as Board Director. He will no longer be providing Gamethreads or bringing you Braves related information. He has too much work related business and can't donate anymore time here. He was also disappointed in the constant harassment and spamming of this site by another site. Spammers from other sites have their privileges to be a part of this site automatically revoked, so the cost of spamming this site is mighty high. Jerry wanted some to know he was very flattered that some thought he was me. He said and I quote " That's a compliment to one and an insult to ther other". Now that is one funny man. We lost a good man and a great Braves fan, but I'm going to encourage him to lurk.

    david55 has done a great job with the Gamethreads and if anyone else wants to jump in and help that is great. A new replacement for Jerry will be named soon. Since Jerry works in the same building as I do he sends his best to all of you. The site that has been spamming this site was started by a member here who had a beef with Bill Shanks and decided to start his own site in 2007. For 6 years he and a few other malcontents have tried to drive members here to that site by trolling this site.

    They have managed to con quite of few into making it look like they are an oasis to turn to when in fact it was they that drove people away from this site with their hundreds of user accounts they managed. They would make this board a miserable place by posting vile, crude and despicable messages. As they were banned they would create more user names. The reason for this is twofold.

    They are vindictive and immature and wanted to lash out plus they saw a way to make money by having their own board. Problem was nobody wanted to go there so they devised a plan to drive folks from here to go to them. Very clever. They knew the rules and began to intentionally break the rules to see how far they could go before getting banned. The whole purpose was to get banned since they had hundreds of user accounts. They began being disruptive to gain attention and then rely on the sympathy of unsuspecting members when they reached out to them on how awful this site was to them by banning them for their innocent and misunderstood behavior.

    Many members didn't realize they were messaging one or two people when replying to hundreds of user names. We uncovered the scheme through IP detection and one of them had 211 user names. So when a member posted something the schemer would respond 10-15 times each with a different user name. They went to a lot of trouble to scam the members here. Unfortunate so many bought into their character assassination of Bill Shanks and others connected with this site. They even fabricated and counterfeited supposed PM messages to try and show others how justified they were in luring you to their site.

    We wish them luck with their enterprising board hijacking and hope the sheep, they have led away realize they have been duped. Sheep, that's how they described the posters they were targeting and attempting to lure away. Their exact words were when we are finished with you and destroy this board we will have led all the sheep away and they won't know what hit them. They keep encouraging people to spam the board because they no longer can. Money is a powerful drug and the real force behind their motivation for fans to use their site and not this site. Once some realize they have been had let us know.
    thank you weso1!

    WTF man. He has legitimately lost his mind. I'm a little scared he's going to come after each and every one of us. Him and Jerry as a team.

    That has to be the saddest thing I've ever seen on the internet, wow.
    The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

    "Chris Bosh is the MVP of the Miami Heat" - Heyward

    That is amazing.

    Bets on who had 211 user names?

    I think the answer is obvious!

    I want to personally apologize to all that have been duped and held hostage here under the gun.

    I was hoping patio wouldn't expose us for the hoodlums and e-thugs we are. I hope nobody else figures out we're just bots automatically posting. Elmontc was a prototype bot, that's why his spelling and grammar are incorrect.
    Forever Fredi

    I've deduced the nefarious details of your plan, SAV:

    1. Create swarm of obnoxious braves fanbots
    2. Turn them loose on a site with no subscription fee and no advertising.
    3. ?????

    well the confirms that the leadership at the other board is nuts and trying to do anything to hold onto members... that board is dead as a doornail and the people who left "tricking" everyone to go with them were the most active posters... and then they created a FREE board (with no "premium" section to suck up money) to discuss baseball like they wanted to... I think everything he just said about money being the driving factor applies only to that board... (the thread with that message btw is locked so no one can reply and patio does not accept pm... how silly of leadership to accept no responses from the people who pay them)
