Hirsch Announces Officially @ TSPMB
« on: July 11, 2011, 02:22:15 PM »
Right board for this? It's news to me...

Finally, an OFFICIAL announcement at TSPMB from the new owners about the future of the "Old Boards"

http://forum.screenprinters.net/viewthread/6/422943

I hope things pick up there, the old place is nostalgic for me, though I do like it here a lot too. The more outlets for networking and education the better, I say.

Lord Voldemort?  What, no, he is known as "he whom shall not be named."

I think the poop's been cleaned off the walls and I smell bleach.

In other words, I think he's banned from there, too.

Isnt there only about 5 people left over there? Everyone is either here or at Prestons now. For me personally I cant stand the format of that site.

I was over there earlier and while old members aren't online as often, I saw that there were quite a few guests, suggesting that it's still viable. Might still be a good place if the new stewards keep the vermin out. I know I have fond memories of it before the "pirate" and "bartender" days.

A ton of information is there for sure. I still go back and search the archives for stuff. It was a great place in its hay day.

There are still occasional posts by printers looking for artists. More than anywhere else specific to screen printing. It was a good place to get some freelance work. The Artist section usually had the most activity, followed by Industry Fun. It was an incredible networking tool for freelance artists of all levels of experience. Even now, that's still the section that has the most activity.

We'll see what happens. It was a weird thing... antiquated in format, but none of these updated boards have come close to the level of use. The Freseners started and ran it, but when they started a new board after the "extinction event", it just never caught on like that old one did. So far, this forum looks like the one with the best chance of filling those shoes. I like Preston's board but it never caught on with the art crowd like TSPMB did.

A few still poke around TSPMB with posts, but admit it guys, most of us if not all of us still lurk over there now and then just to see what's up. Now that we know, it will be interesting to see what happens. I don't believe in ghosts or evil spirits. I think the house is clean.

I hate the format, I just look at unread posts most of the time and I couldn't find a filter for it over there.
I'm slightly out of the loop with the Hirsh thing, who was cyber-squatting and what happened?

The whole basis for the initial name of this board first reared its ugly head as Hirsch's man on the scene, helping with the liquidation of US Screen, but apparently picking that one cherry for himself without permission.

The same person that is over crapping on DS right now is the reason for the other boards demise. He's been posting over at Prestons site too and the post have been very little lately. Enough kicking a dead horse. Time to get to it.

TSPMB still has a ton of great info. My "Newbie" questions were answered there and I still have a sweet spot for it.
While I think most printers boards have something to offer, there just isn't enough time in a busy printers day to hit and contribute on all of them.
It's great though, that it's been disinfected over there.
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

Well the "Manchild Virus" as its know simply moved over to DS.....used to be mildly entertaining now just sad and embarassing. Is it me or is the M&R site dead?
