I wondered too. Looks like DR has been busy removing posts. The system message says last edited by DungeonRealm…
Not sure why.

Your site but this would get you thrown off most other places.

I'll jump in here - IMO it was getting out of hand. I brought the thread to the attention of the admin.
Not sure if that is the reason or DR did the delete himself.

The sun came up today, and I'm still a Furman fan and will be even if we lose against the Citadel.

I know many other fan sites make us all look like gentlemen.

I'll get this off my chest—I've been on this board since the beginning, and sadly very few of us UFFP pioneers post frequently today. Most of them don't feel like the banter is worth it anymore.

Maybe we were just spoiled by the old days—we were winning, the UFFP had a positive vibe, and we all got along. Then things became tougher. More disappointments and the finger-pointing started. One side is deemed the purple-glasses crowd. The other side is; let's call it as we see it.

My only concern is we keep a board for those of us that win or lose and want to talk about Furman sports with other Furman fans.

I forgot one thing… we're a small fan base, and this is it for a Furman message board. As a Furman fan, the last thing I want is to somehow make it worse for the program. We all have a right to be happy and be disappointed. We don't need to call out each other and players and coaches. That has always been a no-no.

You might not give a damn, but the players and their families read the board; in past years, we had several parents as posters. This board is also visited by recruits and their families. Just consider that before you start saying the football program should be defunded.

When the Basketball team loses, will DR remove himself from the Basketball Forum?

Ummm … when you say you are leaving something don’t you actually leave ? Does this mean you are going to hang around like a bad rash “like” trolling? If so what a brilliant own of the folks who disagree with you. You remain a master tactician.

Didn’t he do that one time? He always comes back though. Good thing. Never speaks with forked tongue.

You'll find more posters showing up if the small portion that lose their collective minds every time things aren't going well would opt to post less or think before they rage type.

There are a bunch of folks (many of whom were former contributors here) that don't engage on this forum because of the avalanche of negativity.

How do you delete your account permanently?

There is no option for this given in the menu

You could just stop posting and go away. Mission accomplished!

Seriously where is the delete account feature?

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage

GoPaladins.com is not affiliated with Furman University or its athletics programs.
