We should have stayed here for the last 2 years

Okay, here we are again - a new message board to tide us over until (and only until) Rivals get their technical problems sorted out once and for all.

I can recall nothing but sodding technical problems over the last 2 years , did we ever find out the name/names of the players that were being libeled that caused the initial shut downs of Rivals

whats that about then Dave, ive never heard about that?

[daverichards]

Some player was in a sticky situation, and got a court injunction to stop it coming out in the press, but it started doing the rounds on the internet and he had very good lawyers, all the football messageboard networks got letters saying if their clients were libelled on the networks the networks could be sued ....... as a result Rivals shut themselves down for a bit when they realised it was almost impossible to keep a check on it all .

So we ended up on here

But Dave; Smudge would then be on the dole.

Or, might have to actually WORK for a living

How do you figure that one out Mr. 33 ? He doesn't get much off Rivals from what I have heard .

[339187]

Just kidding Dave (as one can tell from the smilies).
Seriously though; I thought he got summat (a few pence a hit?) from the activity on the Oatie Rivals site. Or is that just idle chatter among us know-nothings who use the m/b?

[daverichards]

He used to I believe, a long while back, but now its a flat fee as far as I am aware .

if it was a few pence a hit, he'd be a millionare fella. it can get 300,000 hits on a busy day , which would be £3K at 1p a hit ..........
