Subject: Response to ramfan Author: FC'80 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:14:14 05/09/05 Mon In reply to: Ramfan 's message, "Re: Closing the Basketball Board" on 23:02:13 05/07/05 Sat As a college basketball fan, I subscribe to several recruiting sites and took the opportunity over the weekend to peruse a number of college hoop message boards. I found many posts on those sites that cut and pasted directly from websites without even a mention of the publication or author of the articles. Nowhere did I see one post complaining about this. These message boards, including Fordham's, are informal, non-commercial "chat rooms" for fans to have some fun and talk hoops. They are not espn.com or sportsline.com. Your obsessive comments on this have done a real disservice to Fordham Basketball fans and don't make sense at all. Without these nonsensical posts our board would not have been temporarily shut down. The board is not the New York Times - Rambacker has been tireless in his work to keep the fan base informed with valuable information and clearly has his own sources. Forget whatever the agenda is and please give it a break. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I follow Rambacker's posts closely and each time you have accused him of copyright infringement, I have checked rivals.com, scout.com, hoopmasters.com and hoopscoop and it's not even close. We all know that recruiting information is released in many cases to many contacts on the same day, and Rambacker's posts always have much, much more content that the recruiting sites. Clearly he is getting his information from his own contcts. (NT) -- FC '80, 15:08:15 05/16/05 Mon But the main point is this - you are solely responsible for the shutdown of the basketball board. Your attacks have served as a catalyst for trollers to jump on your posts and pollute the site. Please drop your personal agenda and give Fordham fans a break. Continuing your blather only serves to hurt Fordham fans who rely on Rambacker for important information about our program. (NT) -- FC '80, 15:10:36 05/16/05 Mon
