Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I just tried to post over at Extreme to say how displeased I was with the takeover, how they were selling out, and how this was just an attempt by Little Danny Snyder to act as the Redskin's thought police.

I was unable to post the message, an icon of LDS appeared on my computer and spread a virus throughout my company, my personal computer at home spontaneously exploded, all my credit cards were charged to their limit and mysteriously cancelled, my toilet no longer flushes, the mailman avoids my home except to deliver poorly wrapped plain brown packages with no return address, and my dog bit me.

I smell a conspiracy.

Yep the Redskins now own extremeskins, but the moderators will supposedly run the show. Should be interesting to see how long that lasts and to what degree.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

was any money paid or are the ES.com modss going to get any salary etc?

from what i've read they get to go to closed practices, but they have to stand way back from the real reporters, and they also get new servers/hosting provided by the redskins.

Do they get any ad revenue? is that going to go to the skins now since they're hosting it?

I don't really understand the point i guess. If they wanted more interaction, they could host chats and interviews among the various fan sites (or just ES) without needing to "merge"

all that ES is going to get out of this is even more haters and trolls like the tampa bay forums (hosted by the team) get... its just flooded with trash talk.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

We'll see how long this lasts...

I feel a disillusionment coming along soon...

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I did go to extremeskins for a little while, but just to search and download their video clips. They have some nice content, but I'm betting that if they don't get express consent from the NFL and whatever network the game was on whoever is making these highlight videos won't be able to post them on a sit owned by a team.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Whatever. I smell sellouts as well. I'm intersted to find out (if we ever do) actually whats going on with it. The actual contractual agreements and stuff that are going on. I've never been a huge fan of the site, even though I post over there every now and again. Maybe the Redskins will get rid of all that cluttering BS.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Does that mean I will get a headache each time I go to Redskins.com like I do with Extremeskins horrific color scheme?

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I don't mind extreme--there's good camp reports and some of the guys (especailly the mods) make good posts.

But it's tolerable mainly because I know I can come back here and discuss football--over there, it's a madhouse, especially when it's a hot topic.

35,000 is a huge number of memebers, and that's only going to go up. Glad we've got this board, Matty and Mods. It's like the VIP room in a bumping club. Out on the main floor (extreme) there's flashing lights, wild noise, and druken fights. In here behind the velvet rope, the power players smoke cubans and decide the fate of the world. Or something like that! ;)

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Oh, and the color-scheme blows there: it's like trying to read neon signs on acid.

Not that I'd know anything about that...

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

ah, not even sweatin' this... warpath is where it's at and it's always been home. best info, knowledgeable fans, and sense of community.

we just need more chickas on here!

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

i really am interested in the financial agreements... will they be able to continue publishing bang cartoons which could be considered slander/libel on an official site?

bang also advertises for its products and services, and on an official site i'm not sure they could allow that, since its seem like the skins would be officially endorsing it.

I see headaches ahead.

Looks like Bang Cartoons is looking for a new home... Redskins must have given them the boot. I'd love to see them right here.

The bang cartoons are HALARIOUS. I'm not suprised the skins would get rid of them though.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I'm going to chill about this whole thing. We're all Redskins fans, knowledgeable or not, terrible site layout or not. We all gotta' stick together.

Not only that, I was reading a "WOW OTHER SITES ARE BITTER" thread over at extremeskins.com and DAMN, there were some sites you'd have thought were full of Cowboys fans.

Yeah; I'm not really too upset about it. That site is the obvious choice for the Redskins. While I personally enjoy this site better, they have about 29,000 more members than we do, so it makes sense. The only thing that upsets me about this, is when someone like Joe Crisp got his media pass ripped, as did the other skins fan sites. However, ESkins got to keep theirs. I just think in the future, the other sites are gonna get screwed over in favor of ES. Yes, GMANC711 is a conspiracy therist.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Matty, don't let this get to you in anyway. don't change this site an iota, high-end and selective is always better than official and corny.

lol i like the sound of that vip room in the crowded club. for once i feel special.

the ES guys had to stay way back, they didn't get credentials, and JC did (though he also got screwed :( )

hopefully next year whoever JC is writing for can host all the audio too.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I have begun my posting in ES and have found that they are very unwilling to answer questions such as why? They get all huffy and defensive as to question the motives of the skins. But they are now part of the team that we critique and analize. So we should all continue on and ask questions cause thats what we like to do. Plus many of us are seasoned at debating this and we shal continue this practice.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

I saw a lot of chest pounding and even though the mods were quick to respond, none of them were willing to answer any of the questions raised :(

I think some of them got paid since the posts they responded to asked and they refused to answer or said none of your business etc (if they didn't get money, i think ONE of them would have said no). It looks like the skin DO have full control and would be able to do anything they felt like with the site though. I don't see anything bad happening right away... 8 months out though, who knows?

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Of course we all are free to have our opinions, but I encourage you guys to stay away from participating in any negativity, especially on their site.

All that matters to me is nothing is changing here, at least we can rely on that.

Sure the fact that we lost our camp credentials is annoying, but hey, we'll make do the best we can.

Re: ExtremeSkins and Redskins Teamming Up?
 

Sounds fine.
