Question to our mods or anyone else in the know.

A few years ago our football board was hacked by some low life. They also got The Lounge ( for those that were not around it was where we could discuss other things than Duke sports) and attempted to hack the hoops board. Other discussion boards were also hacked such as the college basketball board. The only discussion boards that were not affected that I knew of were The Blitz and THR. I did find that odd but to get back to the thread topic is there anyway we can get the football board and The Lounge back along with a possible baseball board. It would be great for the Duke all sports fans and who knows perhaps we could get some more Duke all sports fans here and a place to go once again to discuss things other than sports. Anyone else on board or even if this is possible. OFC

Yes Mods please, this other than sports board is really needed.

We tried a few years back, but the owners decided it just wasn’t worth the headache. Believe it or not, but each board does come with a cost to operate. After the spamming the decision was made to just concentrate on the basketball board and the premium board. The others just didn’t generate enough traffic, either.

And, oh yeah Skysdad....the UNC boards were also hit. The difference was, because of more traffic the powers that be were alerted faster. When I woke up the next morning, the FB board and The Lounge has been spammed over 100 pages. It was ridiculous.

Unfortunately, you all are just stuck with this board and premium.

I'll send Brian a message and see what's up. I liked both the Lounge and the football board. Hadn't even thought of them in forever.

Is this because of the high salaries the
mods get?

If nothing else could we pin the football thread and pin a baseball or all sports thread? We got a lot of football guys. Hoping they all will join us on basketball discussions. I love Duke fans. OFC
