Good movies though I only saw it once back in the 90’s. Don’t remember a thing.

I know the movie backwards and forwards (hence my namesake), but missed the reference entirely because I’ve never actually seen what Chinese finger cuffs look like.

Actual footage of me finally figuring it out.

Since you brought it up, I’ll add some context to the first purge/exodus of Grassy during the above time period.

I joined Grassy at its infancy in the winter of 1996/1997. The URL was Grassy.com from the start until the migration to Canestime.com after the Scout acquisition.

Eye of the Hurricane was the banner/name until Canestime, but the underlying URL was always Grassy.com until a year or so after it changed its name to Canestime. One could find the site using either URL during that overlap.

I was a Mod from 2000-2004.
The first spinoff was Banner’s Canesoverhere and then Adrian started another spinoff that lasted until the 4th quarter of the 2005 LSU game, when he shut it down.

Both Banner and Adrian were Admins and left because of the Coker war that was heating up.

At the same time there was a power struggle throughout the site.

Myself and Pentagoncane had started the War and Politics Board with Bryan Knolls permission, to get politics out of the Lounge. This was immediately after 9/11 and politics was heated in the lounge.

Knoll became less and less involved with the site after it moved to Scout, so when Banner and Adrian left, the Admin vacancies were filled with people not because of next man up, but because of similar opinions with a vocal group of Moderators and an Admin.

This caused a rift between the Moderators. A few heavy handed Mods started censuring and harassing posters on W&P and in the Lounge.

This caused a large number of posters to go to Canesoverhere and Adrian’s site.
For a while I posted on all three sites, then two, until Canestime got unbearable.

I started Canesmutiny in 2006 adding posters from Canestime and Canesoverhere, but I never intended it to be a content site, just a safe haven for Canes Fans tired of the drama on the other two sites.

I was actually banned from Canestime two years after my last post, because a couple moderators would lurk my site and report back our discussions of the shythole Canestime had become.

When WEZ was formed, it was the death knell for my site, but I didn’t really care, as I never started it for the money, just to bullshyt with friends I’d made on the other three sites.
I let it run until 2017ish then turned it off. Took a hiatus from posting until last year when I found CIS.

Love it here. It has most of the good qualities of Grassy, without some of the later bad qualities.

He owned the website

We owned multiple domain names, including RealCaneTalk and HurricaneMutiny. They all landed at the same website.

The Bruce Feldman book was called Cane Mutiny. The domain name canemutiny.com was unavailable, so we registered hurricanemutiny.com. That's why I asked about the (singular cane) domain registration, because it was already taken in 2008 when I incorporated and registered hurricanemutiny.com. That's also why I thought the singular version might have been his domain name. I thought another of the RCT/Hurricane Mutiny owners then registered canesmutiny (plural), but I could be wrong on that, he may have just tried and been unsuccessful.

Our use of the name was dual, both to pay tribute to the Bruce Feldman book, but to also reference some of the colorful terminology that was used at the time to describe all of us choosing to leave CaneSport. Several years ago, I think I forwarded you the threatening e-mail that Gary Fur-Man sent to me, where he compared what we were doing to vandalizing a 7-11, and where he gave indications that he might sue us. So we used the skull & crossbones pirate flag as part of the artwork for the site.

I don’t know if I saw that Furman letter. I’ve seen his unhinged DM’s with @CDWright40 (Ecush), @Dr.L.ThugU and the fellas. It’s literally some of the funniest **** I’ve ever seen on CIS
 
Scuttle but on behind the scenes on Grassy , been a long time .

Then I went on WEZ innocently not knowing and that place was filthy nasty.

CIS in run by good people with patience and goodheartedness with its limit .

MAUDES are exceptional.

I’m just lucky to be here

How did you find CanesInSight? If more than one option applies than select both options. For example, if you have found CanesInSight due to a linked thread on Facebook then select both of those options.

Gary always ran a smoke and mirrors site where he looked for fans that would just take what he said as gospel and he used the rivals flag as the source of his credibility. Anyone who questioned his reporting would get banned. He loved citing the fog of war for a week or two before NSD and he would just straight up make up stories about committed players looking around to generate clicks. I used to catch a ban annually for calling out his nonsense. That would lead to him pitching a fit in DMs.

the only thing that kept that place afloat was a superior format for their forum. Very user friendly. Took me forever to get used to things over here.
