Speculation: 2024-2025 General Discussion III: We’re back! Kind of.

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
You know the deal

You guys see ads?

I believe in supporting sites and keep my adblocker off. However, intrusive ads that randomly show and take up 85% of your visible screen are so disrespectful and simply treat you as a means to an end. This will be the first site I'm going to have to program my adblocker for.
 
If Ehlers gets to FA, we should try to get him in Tampa.

A line of him, Cirelli and Hagel would be a 5v5 juggernaut.

The happy balance I've found is to use the Privacy Badger extension. It learns to block things that track you across sites, and that just so happens to frequently be ads.

It takes visiting a few websites for it to start noticing what's tracking you, but it's a lighter touch than just blocking all ads. You can give that a head start with a pre-programmed list.

You can also upgrade your account and be ad-free for $12/year.

We need some help in the bottom line and middle 6. We need to trade the assets for guys that can help shake up this dead weight we have in the bottom 6. Farabee and Frost would have helped immensely but dont think JBB was interested in them.
 


JBB better start working out trades details, things are starting to move already.

I work in ad-tech for a digital marketing company. I used to keep ads on for HF. But man, they really picked the worst most intrusive shit for here that I was like nope.

Tolvanen and Granlund were my top 2 choices. Both were going to cost a lot, so I'm curious to see what Granlund's price tag is.
