IC going to On3

Looks like On3 has two placeholder sites for UNC - labeled "TTP" and "UNC BB". Says Coming Soon in the upper left hand corner.

Haven’t had an IC subscription since last July when they pulled their bullshit with the old ZZLP and have barely read it (I only read or posted on the baseball board) or missed it for a split second since. Good riddance. I couldn’t care less about reading or following recruiting anymore since it’s all a giant scam, I don’t care to read the message boards since the game threads are so vile and most non-game threads just devolve into juvenile pissing matches anyway, I couldn’t care less to read about which balding middle age doughboy behind a keyboard and a goofy username thinks he is an “insider”, and then to top it all off, once IC fucked over the ZZL not once (with the original split) but twice (dissolving the ZZLP), it was over for me. Got much better uses of $12/month.
 
So, Tar Heel Illustrated was sold to On3, and IC was, too? I don't think I ever went to Tar Heel Illustrated.

Its possible that 247 would recruit Tar Heel Illustrated. But I noticed that Andrew Jones just announced he is leaving Tar Heel Illustrated, so perhaps he is planning on starting the new 24/7 site to compete with THI and IC.

By way of background, one of the guys that started Rivals, Shannon Terry, sold it to Yahoo and then after his non-compete expired started 247, and then after his non-compete expired started On3. On3 just bought Rivals back from Yahoo. So who knows where this is all headed.

Yeah, from what Jones posted there, it doesn't sound like he is going to stay with On3. If IC is gone, too, then maybe he is going to run a site at 247 to replace it, or start his own independent site.

Same here. I've never been a paid IC subscriber, but I did post sometimes on the free basketball and football boards, and a good deal more on the old ZZL and ZZLP. Over the years I gradually posted less and less on the free sports boards as they turned into cesspools of negativity, attacks on players, coaches, and other posters, endless trolling by ABCers (many posing as UNC "fans"), constant doomsday criers, and all the rest. When this board split from IC I rarely even go there to read the various boards, much less post anything there anymore. I think I've posted there less than 5 or 6 times in the last six months, and I don't miss posting there at all.

No.

Rivals was sold to On3.

THI is on the Rivals network.

IC is going to the On3 network.

TBD what happens with THI.

Both IC and THI are independently owned. They just affiliate with a network and pay a portion of their revenue to the network for the services provided by the network (like billing and payment processing and IT hosting).

I think I follow you. It doesn't sound like THi is going to stay with On3 based on their board being shut down and Jones leaving. They have a new board at On3 now but it.just says North Carolina coming soon for now. It doesn't say Tar Heel Illustrated. So, you're saying IC is taking THI's place at On3? Maybe THI will take IT'S place at 247 and they just switch networks per say.

TBD.
 
Rarely subscribed to IC over the years but have to say the amount of worthless posts on that board was almost comical

Maybe it wasn't always that bad. Some actual good basketball discussion but you really had to look for it
