On3 acquires Rivals
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I'm pretty sure Alliance bought Rivals in 2000ish, making him a co-founder of the former but not the latter. He made Rivals profitable, though.

I was on a hawkeye message board back in about 1999 or 2000. I cannot even remember what it was called. I believe there was some consolidation around 2001 or 2002 to rivals IIRC. Very blurry, pre 2003.
Rumor has it a Penn board offered a nice NIL for Fran.
And then Bama swooped in a trippled it …how typical.
So yea doesn’t look good….
I assume this place is going away. You can create a FREE new account over on the on3 site to access their FREE forums. I'm not sure why they haven't promoted this more before this site gets shutdown. Last I read, I don't think they are moving over users/message data, so it'd be a fresh start for many.
I created a new account and will just access both forum sites for now, but the on3 forums are very inactive right now. Hopefully that changes as you all read this and create accounts over there.

The Iowa board will die off. Kakert encourages the lowest common denominator in posters, which led posters to flee this original site to other sites. The market will create better alternatives.
Personally, I rather enjoyed TK’s board. Figured he must have done something right as some here objected to him so much….that is what Iowans are best at!
Well, that's why we have commercial choice. You sound like the perfect Kakert customer.
so those who want to start with a clean slate should create a new account now while those wishing to maintain post count and reactions best wait for on3 to do their thing
Just checked, they have changed all the forums now require a subscription. Was not that way when they started but now it is.I assume this place is going away.
