On3 Acquires Rivals

[wrestleknownothing]

Discussed elsewhere, so I figured I would leave it here.

I am surprised that there is zero discussion of this.

Not sure anyone will care then, but the posting history will not follow. Clean slate apparently.

People will complain either way.
I am debating on whether to cancel premium subscriptions.
It has become stale for me.

What does this mean? The boards are starting from scratch with no posts?

Sounds that way

Do most of y’all plan on switching over?

There's no On3 board to switch to. This board will still be here, just reset with no posts after they migrate to On3's tech stack on the back end, but everyone's user name and posts counts, etc. will be here. @Richie O mentioned that elsewhere.

Will this URL redirect to an On3 URL?

 

[Richie O]

Will this URL redirect to an On3 URL?

That I actually don't have an answer to yet, because the rivals brand will continue to exist, but instead of being under the Yahoo umbrella, it will be under the On3 umbrella. As soon as I have more answers, I'll let you and everyone else here know.

Update, the Rivals historical posts will be added back.

Removing a history of posts and conversations that go back literally decades for some posters would have been foolish and out of touch.

There are literally active threads 5+ years that get regular replies.

Now the question is, on 7/1, will the historical posts be there, and if not, how long afterwards?

Sounds like it won't be the priority immediately but it will happen. My guess is a month maybe

I only caution that “will be done later” can quickly turn to never.

Any word on when the Rutgers On3 forums will be created? I would have thought they would be up and running by now.

See above. There's no On3 board to switch to. This board will still be here.

My apologies. I thought that the press release I read said that all college sports content was moving to On3 and Rivals would be for high school sports.
