Now, my math isn't the best but I think that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 54 years ago. Although such a thing does not exist.....until now....this site is designed to appear like a web site would have looked exactly 54 years ago. With that in mind, maybe you can begin to understand just how far behind the times your recent ( UPGRADES??? ) actually are. The braintrust behind this &quot;new&quot; layout are believed to be a group of men in there mid to late 90's. In other words....you people are trying to cash in on an ancient concept....good luck with that. Furthermore, if anyone wants real proof about this ancient group of men, you offered that proof in the title of this blog. Did you actually just think of the catch phrase ........ DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL?????? Or, are you just having some warm and fuzzy memories of the good old days when you and your two kid sisters used to sit in front of the television every Friday night and watch Batman and Robin (The Boy Wonder) on NBC in 1966? While I find it somewhat refreshing to be reading the blog of someone who remembers the July 1969 Apollo Moon Landing in vivid detail, I must confess, my computer has no dials! Nor does my television. I'm one of the really lucky people that can afford the little known &quot;remote controll&quot;. And sadly enough, that large black telephone you remember from back in your Batman days, the telephone that had the dial, has also fallen by the wayside. Of course today's brave new world still offers us a &quot;dial tone&quot;, but the physical dial itself....just like the Community oriented sports website Fannation, the site I remember as a kid, is only a memeory. Brian, it's too late to boogie. This is the year 2008 and welcome to it. I suggest we all start &quot;wiping the dirt from our hands as we walk from the grave&quot;. 2786023 2008-09-12T21:18:15-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/449/689/thumb/royce.jpg 57766 PA The Pitt Panther: ROYCE!

Did anyone really complain about message boards and asked you to get rid of them? I don't think so. And I'm part of the Atroo that wants to leave the site. This is beyond new Coke. This is like if Coke came out with a new product made out of sewer water and ran no testing whatsoever first on how people liked it. 2711625 2008-09-10T20:03:41-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/895/99/thumb/galaxy-song.jpg 8868 MN SS-Our Universe...

This site has been up all day. It's been crap all day. People have been complaining all day. And yet not one single person has even bothered to simply ACKNOWLEDGE that we have an opinion. Hell, say SOMETHING! BS to us and say you'll look into it even if you never do. Just please... RESPOND! I mean, this is utter BS. We all know you guys are on. Yet we have no way of reaching any of you. You all deserve to be fired. I am beyond disgusted with not just the new site but with the way the mods have treated all of us. I'm fed up. You all pop in once a month when some controversy seems about to boil over, then you come in, write a blog, talk about how accessible you are... and then you do nothing! What the hell is wrong with you people?! 2710903 51 <p>Hi everybody, </p><p>Last week, I promised more information about the new and improved FanNation we&#39;ve developed throughout the summer. The wait is almost over. </p><p>On Wednesday morning, we&#39;re going to roll out the revamped site. After listening to your feedback, we&#39;ve added many of your suggestions into a site that we&#39;re certain you&#39;ll be excited about. Besides the features you&#39;ve come to enjoy, we&#39;ll be adding lots of other things, such as a live scoreboard on the home page so you can track all the action as it happens, no matter which sport; an aggregator which brings the best blogs across the web for you to read instantly; the ability to embed video; message boards for holding discussions and exchanging viewpoints; and the debut of <em>For The Record</em>, a new blog in which <em>SI</em>&#39;s team of writers will provide running opinion and analysis with an edge. All of these features will be wrapped in a cleaner design and improved functionality for those tools you already use. </p><p>And remember: Even though the appearance of FanNation will be dramatically different, my role remains the same. I&#39;m still your touch point for any questions or concerns. Problem with another community member? Email me. Something on the site is broken? Email me. You see an inappropriate profile picture? Email me. I promise to be as prompt as possible in getting back to you and fixing what needs to be fixed. The best way to reach me is through the site&#39;s FanMail in <a href="/users/view_user_profile/97938">my profile</a>.</p><p>Best,<br />Bryan </p> 2649 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/976/38/thumb/bryan_armen_graham_b.jpg 103 NY Bryan Armen Graham New York 97938
