I used to post on Woolly, but signed up in '13 because ESPN went to shite. I didn't think Woolly would ever get that big because everyone either migrated their or to CrimsonRedSports. So I stuck with ESPN until it made you sign up with Facebook. Only person I remember getting banned during my time was that "rolltide92" guy, who was the most pessimistic piece of shite on the board. BamaChine owned it for a short period, but I thought it was Tom in Bham who ran the site.

TideSports should have never went away.

BamaChine was the guy I was thinking of and Tom too...Hanni. acquired it from him. 'Chine hangs out on Shaggy. Crimson Red Sports is where people migrated and TerryP seems like a good dude...but all three boards: Wooly, TideSports, and CRS are slooooowwwww and boring. Maybe they will pick up when football season starts up again. Alabama fans really don't have a single great board anymore...it all fragmented.

TideSports should be a case study of how you frick up an on-line community and lose your ad revenue. I think the New York Times organization owned the Tuscaloosa News at that point. They saw the huge, loyal fan base that congregated there and decided to try and monetize the board figuring people would pay up. A few did but by and large people won't pay for that content as it ends up on a free board like the Rant anyway.
