November 17, 200322 yr I soxnet going to be back up in the future, or has it met it's end. I think the name Soxnet is dead. Lets just say there was a contract disupute with the "Insiders". To the best of my knowledge another site will pop-up soon.
November 17, 200322 yr What Ian said...although nothing is final. Hopefully we'll know something pretty soon. Most likely, eventually a site under a new name will come up.
November 17, 200322 yr Is the new site going to be full of information and stuff? I envision baseball-reference.com but with a palpable White Sox feel. And it MUST be cool as all getout. Very important.
November 17, 200322 yr We'd like the new Sox site (When one eventually happens) to be everything SoxNet was, such as the News and commentaries and then stuff above and beyond that. We'd like to get some historical type stuff up and all that good stuff. It will take some time, but first we have to cross the "legal" hurdle to make sure we can do it without being sued.
November 17, 200322 yr SoxNet will no longer exist. Why? TheInsiders is one of the reasons, but another is I personally wanted to move on. I loved SoxNet and will miss every aspect of it, but at the same time, I'm looking for a new challenge. A new white sox site may be in the works shortly. I won't be running it as I did with SoxNet, but Jason will be and I have no doubt that he'll make it better than what SoxNet, just based on the experience and knowledge he gained. I will help Jason as much as I can and help in whatever way I can, but all of my time will soon be dedicated to a new chicago sports newspaper and website that started this year. I hope to take the dedication and credibility I gained at SoxNet and invest it into a site I feel can be a strong source for chicago sports news in general. Hope this answers your question. If anyone has any questions, send me an email at mario@soxnet.net

November 17, 200322 yr thanks SS, I'm sure I'm gonna be spamming this board a bit with the newspaper and site as I get involved and get things going, lol.
November 17, 200322 yr thanks SS, I'm sure I'm gonna be spamming this board a bit with the newspaper and site as I get involved and get things going, lol. I dunno Mario...that sounds like SPAM Just messing with ya. I think your newspaper/website will turn into a pretty sweet deal.
November 17, 200322 yr I dunno Mario...that sounds like SPAM Just messing with ya. I think your newspaper/website will turn into a pretty sweet deal. Gonna have to tighten the anti-spam controls, Jason.
November 17, 200322 yr lol, you know I'm gonna have to plug it every chance I get. if not, it'll take forever to build, like SoxNet.
November 17, 200322 yr thanks SS, I'm sure I'm gonna be spamming this board a bit with the newspaper and site as I get involved and get things going, lol. Mario, I'd absolutely LOVE to assist you with the portion dedicated to the Chicago Blackhawks, as I follow the team more than any other team on this planet! I have experience writing game a few game reports at Blackhawkzone.com, as well as being a full-site moderator over at the Blackhawkzone.com message boards, so I feel I can be a good asset to your newspaper and website. PM me with more information!
November 17, 200322 yr lol, you know I'm gonna have to plug it every chance I get. if not, it'll take forever to build, like SoxNet. Well, you know you SHOULD be plugging it on Sox And Roll's message boards!!! Oh, wait...More people attend Montreal Expo games than visit those boards!!!

Oh, Ian, you little tattletale!! GOTTA be the first one with "the scoop", don'tcha??? "OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhh"
November 17, 200322 yr Well, you know you SHOULD be plugging it on Sox And Roll's message boards!!! Oh, wait...More people attend Montreal Expo games than visit those boards!!! And here goes Heather again with her "stalker/hater" relationship with SnR!! Get off the fence, girl!! Choose your side!!!
November 18, 200322 yr Oh, Ian, you little tattletale!! GOTTA be the first one with "the scoop", don'tcha??? "OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhh" Well, it's not exactly news, I've known for atleast a few months. Dig it~!
November 18, 200322 yr Well, you know you SHOULD be plugging it on Sox And Roll's message boards!!! Oh, wait...More people attend Montreal Expo games than visit those boards!!! Oh s***!
November 18, 200322 yr That'll be great if soxnet.net could be brought back, or just something similar on a different web address. I really enjoyed the articles and checking the site out after games and whatnot.
November 18, 200322 yr I havent really been around to view soxnet......but what is the purpose of creating it when there's soxtalk. I mean, why devout all your time to another site when you have one under your belt.
November 18, 200322 yr Well for those that weren't really familiar with SoxNet, it was the original. It came before Soxtalk and Soxtalk was created as the "Message Board for SoxNet". Now Soxtalk has evolved into a community of its own, but SoxNet was the sister site to this. We liked the idea of seperating the name of the board from the name of the main site because it was kind of a way to cross market and such. I know a lot of people like going directly to a message board and with this we give people the option of straight to the board or straight to the main site and then all stories would also be posted here. We'll probably do something similar when/if we can get something going again. Futuresox.com was the same way.
November 18, 200322 yr Gonna have to tighten the anti-spam controls, Jason. But what would we do without begood and bestly??? Sry guys, just kiddin..

November 18, 200322 yr We'll probably do something similar when/if I can get something going again. Futuresox.com was the same way. Is the futuresox.com name safe? That was a BAD ASS site to say the very least.
November 18, 200322 yr Is the futuresox.com name safe? That was a BAD ASS site to say the very least. Oh ya...that name won't be going anywhere. We plan on re-opening that as well. The thing is I have to make sure that were in the safe first, once that is done...then things will start to continue on like they used to be, and hopefully better. I loved doing futuresox, it was so much fun.
November 18, 200322 yr If this site ever dies or moves, somebody please email me with the new site everybody goes to at greg775@yahoo.com. thanx
