Just replaced Pure Orange with Benny's House on my Bookmark bar. After twenty years participating in Pure Orange I am afraid it is dead. Not a bad run for a free service.
Once Pure Orange is fixed I will add it back but for now I hope Benny's house takes off. A free SaaS service just makes sense nowadays.

The thing I appreciated about Pure Orange was the fact that Lucky made sure only Beavers could get on. It won't be long before the fowl fans from the south will invade this forum and ruin a potentially good thing. Go Beavs!!

It won't be long before the fowl fans from the south will invade this forum and ruin a potentially good thing. Go Beavs!! I'm undecided right now on the policy for allowing rivals fans into this forum. One of the negatives of Pure-Orange, in my opinion, was that there were no rivals fans and their perspectives. But I can see how some would see that as a benefit. I can change the settings to not allow non-registered or guest posters. I can also make it mandatory for approval before you can post. How exactly am I supposed to have people registering are "Beavers?" As I said, I'm undecided on a policy but I'm open for suggestions.

Hope Pure-Orange comes back, but this is a good replacement in the meantime. There have been outages before, but never this long!

I too loved P.O., and before that is was Beaver Sports Central. Still not sure P.O. is dead, and perhaps I can find out this weekend at our tailgater.
Couple suggestions/questions: 1) How about a premium board just for approved member, and only Beavs? 2) What's an easy way to tell if you've read all the posts in a thread? Yes, I see how long since the last post, but what if you don't remember the last time you came here? I liked on P.O. that they changed color once you read them.
Thanks for setting this up!!! GO Beavs!

GO Beavs! If there is a new message in the thread there will be a "new" flag on the thread header in the main forum... I think... Plus threads with fresh messages move to the top.

IMOP.... There are other beaver boards where rival/opponent boards can participate in discussion. I liked fact PO was SUPPOSED to be Beaver only....

PO (and BSC before it) have been great, but lately there has been more and more pettiness and Beaver on Beaver bullying

I got the following reply from Lucky this morning:
"I have worked 200 hours in the last 3 weeks. Been out of town.
I am not sure at the moment what its status will be.
I have not given up on it and I plan to get it back up.
Michael"
I'm afraid that is all I know.

Hey, let everyone post here. IMO if you want to get things rolling and get lively discussion. And IMO, nothing wrong with a little flame here and there as long as it contains Oregon State football context. Myself, I'm glad someone started this going. I need my Beaver football fix many times a day!
And nothing wrong with getting another OSU football board going even if BSC gets back rolling again.
