67601 made HDN today.....

....about the site closing. Wonder where they're going to get their news. They always watched this site for information......we scooped them on a few issues.....

i guess that should have been posted under general info, not web suggestions....sorry NB.

I'm glad Michael ignored their call. :!:

Maybe beber wrote the article. The author seems pretty happy that the forum was closed.

I had no love for the HDN and Pat Lowrey and didn't hide my feelings. I'm sure they were secretly happy to have my mouth shut in that regard, but they did get a few stories off here. I believe they kept the forum site open all day long to moniter what was going on, making sure they didn't miss anything.

That I wouldn't doubt, but I bet they don't mind losing the competition.

THey don't know it, but we scooped them on the headlines twice already. Portis murder and the school lockdown.

Just out of curiosity, what does it matter to them that the forum closed? Granted, they'll have to look elsewhere for filler for their poor excuse of a newspaper. It just shows that they frequented the board quite a bit.

Was it a slow news day that they thought this was a big story or were they just gloating?

yeah, the other site may be gone but this one is already picking up momentum. it's only a matter of time till all the same folks end up here and things will be back to normal news-wise, minus the drama hopefully

I thought I saw a little gloat in there. I've met Pat, briefly, and I wouldn't be too surprised if his ego needed a little stroke from time to time. He has had little to gloat about lately, I am sure.

NEW YORK -- Newspaper print advertising revenue fell by the biggest percentage on record in 2007, an industry trade group reported Friday. Revenue from online newspaper ads grew but at a slower pace than a year ago.
