Ivy Voy Board Down

[Go Green]

I'm amazed it still exists.

It's been down for days before. But if it doesn't come back, we can expect a lot of those regulars to start posting here.

Unless some wiseacre starts a new one. *cough*

All three of them?

[bonarae]

It's back... once again.

Should we find a way to lure them back to national boards such as this? We have had tried but failed... somewhat.

Leave the Club? Not too likely. When or if IL schedules outside its comfort zone,more Ivy fans may get interested in AGS.

[RichH2]

Just tried to go to voy forum from phone . Nope. ???

[GateRaider63]

Colgate's old Voy is still down too. Thankfully, there is a new one...

I think Observor brought the site down rather than having to face postings regarding Yale's excellent new class which was announced last week.

Yep. xcoachx

[Go Green]

We got to figure out how to get the word to the Ivy regulars that this Board exists. Any suggestions and efforts welcome...

Agreed. I will post it on portal 31 and the Yalefb blog.

Who we really need to recruit are the Columbia people who post on VoyForums. I would miss their enthusiasm and optimism in the face of history and reality.

[voy vey]

A voy refugee, here....I knew about this place for a while, but never registered until it recently became apparent that all of Voy was down for an extended period, or forever.

I was 'voy vey' over there.

Welcome. Glad to have another Voy(eur) on AGS

[Go Green]

I wish I knew the identities of others. I'm missing the gang of Asia, Holtsledge, Sprint, foehi, remember it well, sparman, Observer (yes him) and many others....

Glad to see you here Andrew. Although its too bad you have to give up a screen name as good as Voy Vey.

He didn't have to. It's available here.

[Son of Eli]

I miss them all too. My favorites who are missing are observer, Observer, Remember it Well, Calvin, Sparman and Memphis Bill, in that order. The observer-Observer battles were epic.

[bulldog10jw]

More than once, Observer mentioned his distaste for this website and the "common folk" (my term since I forgot his exact words) that post here.

He's been on this board before under the name Crimson Fan. He got run off in around 30 minutes when he called the FCS "Losers".

[clenz]

I'll squat on Voy Vey and sell it for a $50 donation to AGS....

That's asking to get run off.

[clenz]

On an actual driving Ivy discussion on this side note...anyone wanting to collab on a season long Ivy project?

Send me a PM...Thanks.

[voy vey]

I thought about using it, but didn't know (not having spent much time lurking here) how other fora were tolerated (some places I visit are rather touchy about things like that).
I figured using a handle so closely tied to another forum might be "improper etiquette." :)

AB, first I should have said welcome. Glad to have ya.

Next thing you should know. AGS is pretty tolerant and there are some etiquette's but they are mostly FCS Discussion board related. The rest...nobody really gives a **** for the most part. If they do they report to me and I say to them "I don't give a ****"...for the most part.

Always best to walk in slowly and survey the crowd as you are though. After the "getting to know you" phase I'm sure you will notice a pretty loose existence is the best fit around here.

PM me if you want a name change. I can fix that, or leave it as it is.xthumbsupx

[RichH2]

Asia and Sprint. Miss those 2 the most. Hope,they can find their way here.

If these Voyfugees are allowed to take up residence in our grand community, think of all the lost jobs amongst the whine and cheese Patriot League fans who would no longer be able to spend their pixelated prose currency regaling us with tales of how they may be ghastly in football, but at least they have the highest academics on the board. Our own microcosm of AGS North Korea, led by Kim Jong-Lfn, constantly held down by the repressive hand of these American Colonials and their Athletic Association, where were it not for that grandest of human tragedies, the academic index, surely there would be no greater game this side of Bedlam than those in Bethlehem. Alexis de Tocqueville warned us of this very moment nearly 200 years ago, "The happy and powerful do not go into exile," and yet exile themselves have the Ivy's done. No longer happy, nor powerful upon the gridiron, they return to us with outstretched hand as an addict looking for a quick fix, a rush of adrenaline in their ability to once again look down upon the Patsy's, and the Pioneers, and the MEACie's, and the fruit bats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals of AGS. If we do not stop the trickle now, it will soon become a stream, and then a rushing river, and before you know it, these lands will not be your own. You will look back upon this moment, when the Voyfugees had but one neck and you all had the ability to lay your hands upon it, and wonder why you did not hoist the black flag and seize that opportunity.

Don't forget the Ivy League schools invented this game we all love. Look at it as a coming home.

Thanks. The Ivy League is currently leading the way in concussion prevention. Dartmouth has invented a robot tackling dummy and the league has officially banned all in season practice tackling. These are innovations for player safety which are likely to be instituted across all levels of the sport eventually.

I guess if you dont tackle anyone theres no need to practice it. xthumbsupx

You would think. But actually Dartmouth had the best defense in the League last year just using their robot for tackling drills.

Yeah but it IS the Ivy. Sure you want to hang your hat on that?:)

Truth is very few teams go live during the season unless they need to refresh some fundamentals.

Yes, and referred to the Patriot League as having lowered itself to admitting "salaried athletes" because we had instituted scholarships in a number of sports.

And I awaken this morning to find it is already too late. Behold a pale horse... This forum has apparently been taken over, conquered if you will, by a master race of giant nerds masquerading as football fans. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will lay waste to the entire site or merely enslave us all. One thing is for certain. There is no stopping them; the Voyfugees will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new Ivy overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted AGS personality, I could be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground comic book collection bunkers or suit up in the so-called "robot" tackling dummy.

Not "professional" athletes, but "salaried" athletes.

It's clear that as with the Ivy League as a whole, Harvard will also be in charge of this post-Apocalyptic AGS world of Voyfugees. I won't deign to answer questions from a Yale man.

Spanish and Arabic are required now as we look to the future.

Also worth mentioning is that all 11 Dartmouth defensive starters got some recognition on the All-Ivy team last season.

We should start a pool to predict who will be the first person to post on the site once it's back up.

[Son of Eli]

New Ivy League rules were adopted restricting the time student athletes can spend on sports.

[Bisonoline]

"""The first change gives student-athletes a 10-hour window of no athletic activity following their return from a road trip""""

Really? Only 10 hours? Not much of a breather.

[Go...gate]

Good move, though I am troubled that a need was detected for such a regulation.

[bonarae]

Good move, though I am troubled that a need was detected for such a regulation.

I agree, but the regulation is quite overdue, because the NCAA is alarmed by the sad rates of student-athletes' academic performances.

I'm getting a 404 error now instead of the server is not responding error. Look's like it's gone for good. There will be no going home for us. I hope more voy refugees will migrate over to AGS. I assume we'll see some more once the season starts.

The Voy Board appears to be back up.... at least for now.

[voy vey]

Thanks to some "man behind the curtain" activity by ursus, my handle here has been changed to match my Voy Ivy Board identity. (Thank you, sir!)

I was going to guess Sprint66 as the first poster once the Voy forum revived, but it looks like crimsonfan (a.k.a. upper-case-Observer) took that title.

Despite the revival, I'm inclined to spend more time here than there, simply due to the fact that the user interface on that forum is state-of-the-art, circa 1986. vBulletin is so much more user-friendly. (Andn the Captcha's here are a lot more readable, too!)
