NickyJ Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Don't ever do this to me again. I went to the Commies Reddit and I felt dirtier each time I reloaded the page waiting for more site info. I also went to the Commies Discord server. Somebody put me out of my misery if I ever get driven back there again. Seeing kiddos alternating between defecation jokes and Spongebob memes made feel like I had to sit on my front porch and defend my lawn. 4 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Jedi Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Man, I was so scared all day at work. I have this site on in the background, and like a muscle reflex I kept coming back and being sad it might be gone forever. Good to see everyone again after 24 hrs!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure if Harris/Magic get the credit. Calling Magic out on Twitter/X whatever was a “Voice of the Voiceless” move for the entire 20+ year community that’s been built here. But I’ll say this, while he’s been blamed for a lot of screwups under Dan, Jason Wright actually at one point offered to pay the server bill out of his own pocket. THATS a move to get the fan base (at least here) back. Props & respect to him for that. 14 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) When ES was down, I submitted a form on the commanders.com website asking them to pay for the site with its 20+ years of use that got us through the Snyder times. I have a speech level of 100 in Skyrim, so that's probably the biggest part of what convinced the powers that be to turn the power back on. You're welcome, guys. 7 minutes ago, TK said: Not really sure if Harris/Magic get the credit.

ES is a big deal to some of us at least, so seeing Jason offer to do something just for the fans means a lot to me. Without ES, I just wouldn't have the same connection with the team. Most of my info, for better or worse, comes from here. I think for better because when I repeat what I see here to other people, it makes me sound smart and measured.

Going Commando Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Did we get shut down? Magic Johnson is the greatest player in NBA history and I formally apologize for any wrong takes I might have made about Larry Bird or Michael Jordan being better. 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This is why we should be thankful that Jeff Bezos didn't buy the team. If he had, ES wouldn't be back. He'd have bought a new forum, and bought new people to post on there. He can buy new baubles, but he can't buy new bobbleheads like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 My wife was wondering why I was talking to her more than normal the past few days. Thank god things are back to normal with this site. HAHA 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 When the site first went down, I thought Rivera and Co. were canned or something Then when it was taking longer than normal, something was more serious was at play. Thank goodness it's back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumplestilskin Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 So what was the rationale for shutting it down? Good on all you folks that protested it BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
