So what was the final straw that led to shutting down "The Hot Spot"?

Eh, it's easy to bounce guys if they won't comply.  So far our newbie from sunshine state is ok.  We'll see  how that goes.   I really doubt we'll see the Farm Fool on here though.

Hopefully not.

siesta is the name of a beach in Sarasota. It's either him or someone is pulling a complex troll job.

Well itâ€s not 3V.  Or esco or whatever you want to call him. Heâ€s not smart enough to pull anything other than dingleberries from his bung.

He wonâ€t come here. He has found another home over on the free 247 political thread. Heâ€s doing his usual pollution job there

There's a 247 political thread? That seems contrary to Helwagen's email..just sayin.

It will be pretty easy to tell if it is Sarasota. Does the poster not provide any reasonable discussion and just posts the same 30 memes on a rotation, ad nauseum? It is Sarasota.

If he spells like Joe Biden speaks, it is Sarasota.

Yes. Itâ€s under listed under  “around the shoe”. There are four or five nutcase liberals who post over there, and all of them have either have TDS or are trolling. I mean they are totally mental. I post there occasionally, but usually only to make fun of their nuttiness . At least guys like Acid had moments of sanity.

Got it.  I think I did stumbled on it once.  I thought 247 proper had a thread.

My questions still goes though, why not shut down around the shoe too.  Consolidate the bball and wrestling forums to FR.

My favorite post was DaveBucknut calling the Dayton mayor a communist, which was hilarious and they banned him for a month. I cancelled my Bucknuts subscription after they banned Hotspot. Most of the better writers left Bucknuts for better pastures years ago. Duane and Helwagen were the Bucknuts bullies. Most Bucknuts sportwriters copied and pasted articles from Yahoo. Atlantic, CBS and ESPN. Patrick Murphy was the worst of them. He would literally plagiarize ESPN articles and call it his own. They never did any decent follow up reporting in the field. Jeremy Birmingham from Lettermen Row does a better job with recruiting that Bill Kurelic ever did over at Bucknuts. Buckeye Scoop reporters are better at basketball and football reporting than their Bucknuts best reporter. The boarding house was contrived nonsense. Our unsubstantiated source says that Fields likes to throw deep passes over short passes and Dawand Jones wants to score a touchdown. It reminded me of the scene in Ferris Bueller with Ben Stein asking Kristy Swanson why Ferris was absent.
Simone : Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

I can simply echo what others stated.  It was unfortunate that liberal posters didnt like the fact that the board largely leaned conservative.  Esco, chilly, acid, sarasota, and others openly stated they were actively trying to ***** down the board because of it. 

I always felt there was a double standard.  I think it was k9 or someone else who actually got doxxed by a poster yet duane banned the victim for wrong think.

I also find it comical that they destroyed the "containment" board thinking people wouldnt bring up politics in the main forum.  That's counter logic at it's best.  Personally I think it's more to do with CBS running the show and section 230 reform coming down the line.  As content creators they dont want to be held responsible for comments and simply never wanted to spend time modding the comments of the board.

Chilly is a loud-mouthed coward.

It sounds like nobody could get along in a civil manner. Calling others names and making unnecessary treads about other posters seems juvenile.It seems it  was a combined effort on how to act like fools and had reached its expiration date. Hopefully now most will grow up.

Is siesta that piece of trash 3V?

We can only hope!  

Why?  Heâ€s trash that spreads lies and propaganda and thinks heâ€s always correct in his commie views. 
Dude isnâ€t worth any time.

Hmm, siesta with a siesta beach avatar.....it's Sarasota......

Zig gave me that avatar!Im still trying to come up with a Buckeye theme Avatar. Again its amazing the amount of  tribalism and hatred and I've not even been introduced to your friend 3V or Farm man.

We like to refer to him as "Farm Fool." Or "Stick Arms," if you prefer.
