Jim ..
This is Dave Dial, General Manager at Gamer's Alliance Sports.
There were a few things going on at GA Sports. One of the most unfortunate
things that happened during this turnover of personnel was your letter to
Tony Wyss saying that you were contacted by me that you would be taking over
FOF.com Now, out of all the people that I told this information to about
what was going to happen shortly (and was not at liberty to talk about) only
you, no one else out of all the affiliates we have, broke my confidence and
contacted Tony. This caused me major pains because, obviously, this was
supposed to be kept between us.
Now, you have mailed Glen. That's ok, Glen is part of the new regime.
However, I would have liked to talk to you personally. I believe at this
point you tend to have issues with me, and that is why you have gone on to
Tony and Glen as contact points. Have no doubt, no doubt, that I am the last
say in what happens on the Network Affiliates, who runs them and who
moderates the forums. There is no one higher than me on this issue. Thus the
term, General Manager.
While I had every intention of turning the site over to you lock, stock and
barrel and giving you leeway to make the site whatever you wanted it to be
in your own image, I had to take a long hard look at you contacting Tony.
This caused great rifts in the company. Therefore, I have appointed Josh
Hiscock as Webmaster of frontofficefootball.com He will be the boss there
and run the site. We would like you to stay on as moderator of the forum,
but again, Josh has the ability to make personnel decisions as he sees fit
because he is running the site. He would have to confirm you as moderator at
this point.
I also noticed that Tony Wyss was allowed to post unchecked in the FOF Forum
after his dismissal. After the letter that was sent out, it was hoped that
wise moderators would keep their eyes peeled for Mr. Wyss and save the
company some grief with his sour apples. That's ultimately your call,
because as of right now, you are the moderator. However, it was another
chance missed to score points with the Network Brass.
I will have Josh Hiscock get in contact with you and his decision on the
moderator at fof.com is final. Josh is now the manager of
frontofficefootball.com entirely.
I may give him advice and consent on personnel but Josh is the power now at
Gamer Alliance's frontofficefootball.com

slow death GA-Sports comes to the rescue! Think of all the poor MSN
subscribers that aren't getting this stuff (FYI, MSN shut down their
newsgroups access) <g>.
Amazing stuff.

Ahhh. Just when you thought the good old sports newsgroup was
The All Powerful and All Knowing Oz!
GA-Sports. I was reading it all the way through, went back and hit refresh,
BOOM, whole thread is gone, replaced by a message from some dude named Stix,
who I have never seen before in the FOF.com messageboard. So I guess I got
there in the nick of time to read the juicy stuff.
I just want to say that I have an even higher opinion of Tony, Blackadar,
and Josh Hiscock now, and I seriously doubt if I will ever visit any Gamer's
Alliance's websites as a direct result of this fiasco.

The Sideline (FOF2 messageboard, post by NYFAN about 20 minutes ago):
"Well, for anyone looking forward to having Josh run the site, no siree.
Josh was just fired as well because he refused to ban Tony and Blackadar
(see, we really do like you guys ). If you wish to contact him via e-mail
his address is lancelo...@hotmail.com.
Personally, right now I'm rather fed up with Mr. Dial who seems to have no
capacity for a brain, along with employees."

create a competing site, so thanks for the compliment. I'm surprised that
my post stayed around as long as it did...
