Modded CaneInsider. Made some good relationships there, Mike, Cribby and Jorge being some. One day there was a premium board with D$’s name on it, a few months later it was gone and eventually came into being without D’s name. Ariz posted there, he broke the Deon Bush and Tracy Howard commitments. Life was good.
Then Ariz left for the brand new CIS. I assume he already had a relationship with D$ at that time, and I don’t know what happened between D and Jorge. Insider lost a ton of posters to CIS, likely in part because of my moderation and CIS was like grassy 2.0c had the WEZ, and good info. For awhile I posted on CIS only on the politics board, Insider didn’t have a counterpart. That‘s why I have this absurd handle, picked something that wouldn’t be linked to me on Insider.
Then Brandon Odoi came on Insider and everything went down a very narrow toilet. I believe Josh somehow cut Jorge out of the ownership structure when he brought Odoi on, but quickly Odoi made the site about clicks and trying to get subs for the premium board. He had some info but nothing that made it worthwhile. I called him out and one day went to log in and he’d band me, along with the rest of the mod team.
I floated between here and the nascent Twitter.com for awhile, mostly just lurking. The amount of posting and traffic always made the site interesting. It had become the best Canes site by then, imo. At some point Kyle L asked me to come onto the mod team.
I doubt any of this is relevant to your question, Andrew.
