Maaaan I don even remember... I just know I was a lurker EVERYwhere that had something to do with the Canes lol I was a fiend for Canes football news. I never posted because I HATED creating accounts online back then. I had to ease my way into it tho.
 
I did spend most of my time over there at SOTU at first but yeah like someone mentioned earlier, their comment section leaves alot to be desired. They were my go-to spot on signing day tho.
 
Wait.... I think I came across this site while lurking on Twitter(without a Twitter account lol) and seen someone tweet something about some insider stuff lol.
 
Yep, I remember.... It was definitely me lurking around on Twitter for Canes news.

I still do the same and I still don't have a Twitter account lol

I’d love to read an oral history of what went down at Grassy. When I went there (before Insider) it was Scout and I think the purge had already happened. My first board ever was the CBS sportsline forum, which had about 15 posters a month.

If anyone wants to give the deets on the purge and Moni and all that, I’d like to fill in my gap in the Canes online lore compendium.

My "other" vote was the same as the other old-timers (grassy/scout/CIS). I can't even remember the year, but I'm not sure if grassy goes back to the late '90s, but if that is going back too far, then whenever grassy would have started, I started probably around that time.

Ran into Fred Davis at Art Basel, he told me a couple of posters on some message boards (CIS) thought he was on a super secret recruiting trip, so I had to check it out. Come to find out, Fred just likes Paintings

My memory of the Lounge side of the migration is incomplete (possibly probably inaccurate) because I wasn't super active there but I'll do my best:
  • While CIS is only 10 years old, the community that started it goes back to the mid/late 90s back when it was EyeOfTheHurricane, then Grassy, then Canestime when it was folded into the Scout network.
  • An upper level Scout.com network admin (Moni) gave AUCane a network-global permaban for posting her personal deets in a thread.
    • AU didn't post her personal deets (someone else did), just her Scout profile picture in a thread about Scout. It was bull****.
    • This ****ed off alot of people on grassy, both in the Lounge and premium boards, because AU was an OG and longtime sub.
      • Premium people were super ****ed because of AU's standing, and were already upset about content quality (my post earlier).
      • Lounge people were ****ed because this was the latest example of Scout becoming more heavy handed. After Fox Sports purchased Scout, they became like the Spanish Inquisition when it came to curtailing Lounge shenanigans.
        • About a year earlier a splinter group of Lounge people consisting of Vishnu's crew left to form Sebastian's Pub, after some of them got banned (Banned of Brothers) for raiding other Scout network boards. (needs citation questionmark?)
        • Not to mention the long complaints of moderation in general which caused the CanesOverHere splinter group about 5 years prior to that from what I'll call "The Great Coker and Politics Wars" of the mid aughts.
    • Mods Larrrrrrrrrrry and Tano appealed to Bakas and Moni through DM's.
      • Tano posted them here, but I think the thread was moved to the wEz when it split off.
        • That was one of the first threads here and probably has all of the missing pieces and/or stuff I got wrong.
    • On November 2, 2011, Larrrrrrrry and Tano's efforts to get AU unbanned failed, and **** hit the fan.
      • D$, Lu, and bAndrew were gearing up to launch this place a few weeks/months later, but struck early to capitalize, and started handing out links to here like inflatable tubes for us to hop in. That's why the oldest usernames outside of them have that join date.
      • CanesInSight had over 1,000 registered user names in the first 5 days, along with over 250k thread views.
        • The gameday thread for the November 11, 2011 UM/FSU game on here is over 100 pages long. The gameday thread in the Lounge was just 6 pages.
    • Aftermath:
      • When Scout went **** up, 247 acquired it. Moni works for them now. :6fps6:
      • Ferman purchased the CanesTime url and it redirects to Canesport. :****:
      • The wEz was splintered off from here as its own site.
      • Sebastian's Pub is still going, and Vishnu gained lots of pub for the Pub with his articles about the Shapiro stuff and is now involved with the FiveReasons guys.
      • CanesOverHere went away for a while, but Mario's return seems to have reinvigorated the Banner man. Mario is already working wonders for this fanbase.

I believe that I saw it being in a posts section of an article on a mainstream site (TOS). I was looking for information solely and to be updated (don’t remember if it was recruiting or staff transition info that I was after).
