    Not quite Rufus.

    Sad to see it go. I was never one of the most prolific posters over my eight-year membership but was a daily visitor. Saw a message on the site yesterday inviting anyone interested in taking over the site to email the site with regard to discussing possible transfer of ownership. Hope it comes to pass.

    My single biggest memory will be the 200-page Dublin Kerry All-Ireland thread last year - the anticipation and excitement as September 18 approached; the scramble for tickets; those who had lost loved ones visiting graves the morning of the match; the subsequent post-match euphoria as members committed their experiences and joy to the thread. It would be a shame if this and other memorable threads were to fall victim to a "delete" keystroke.

    Anyway, glad to be here amid a few familiar refugees.

    Turn your back for five minutes.

    I don't know all the ins and outs of why its gone.... but to me its a terrible shame.

    When I was out of the country it was my first port of call, where else would you find out who won an AFL10 game.

    I look back on many of the epic threads the Dublin v Kerry final was probably the most memorable but many others than nearly had you in tear or laughing out loud. I've been back three times already just to make sure it still closed

    To all the admins and mods simply Thanks for having a top class site for the last number of years. To all those who contributed responsibly it made it the finest Gaa forum bar none.

    Ps. best of luck to all the Ballymun lads who were regulars. Would love to see a real parish club land the title:)

    No great loss. A cheerleading site where disent from the natural order was not permitted. You couldn't discuss anything in any deep way for fear of offending anyone who might choose to take offence. Great for local club scores but a useless waste of time if you actually wanted to debate issues and express a contrary point of view.

    So this is where ressers go when they die, a resser limbo. A terrible pity about the site, the family are fearing withdrawal symptoms, don`t know what happened, but fair play to all that put work into it over the years, you owe nobody nothing.

    No, idea what happened, but when lads are running a thing like the lads were, they owe no explanation to anybody, Hopefully there will be some sort of a reincarnation, as those of us away had become dependent on it for all reliable info in Dublin GAA circles.

    Hugely hugely positive feeling towards the website. I know the guys have made their call & no one call dispute the service they gave to us all. I remember the odd day when they site was down for a half day & you didnt know what to do with yourself & Here we are 2 days in. With so much positivity & the gap in leaves in all our lives I would have assumed there was someone ouy there who had the technical/legal/commercial know how to get something similar back in action. There obviously is a few months to get something sorted as its unlikely something will be sorted by monday night. For what its worth id love to get involved in some way or other to help put but the fact that the guys have made their call so suddenly & that other sites have gone similar ways (by people who know a lot more about this sort of thing than I do)

    Are there interested parties to try & resurrect resdubs & if not available something similar. There is no doubt there is a demand. Im only saying this on the basis that the current mods have washed their hands of it. What they gave us was simply fantastic & sorely missed alreaay.
