Chalk up another victory for the TRUE FANS OF STERN: SFN's illegal file sharing forum is no longer!!!
That's right, Mutt announced today that he is eliminating the highly illegal file sharing forum at the SFN cesspool. Of course, Mutt is saying that he made this decision entirely on his own. I guess he wants us to believe it is just a coincidence that this move is coming a few short days after the TRUE FANS of STERN exposed the 119 page thread he allowed there containing hours and hours of old Stern shows. Sure, Mutt, sure. Anyone who truly knows Mutt, knows not to take ANYTHING he says at face value. He is, afterall, a lying sack of shit. Always was, always will be.No, contrary to what he yells, this is clearly another victory for the TRUE FANS OF STERN. Congratulations and thank you to all who were involved in our email campaign to alert the powers that be of yet another disgraceful activity of Mutt and his cesspool. And according to Mutt, another one of our goals may be coming to fruition: Get someone with at least a half of a brain to help run that place. He could be lying once again, but supposedly DreamTank is getting involved with SFN. Thank God. As bad as they screwed up Howard's bulletin board, they are still light-years ahead of Mutt and his bozo staff. I hope the first thing they do once they start cleaning up the shit there is to relieve Joey Boots of his moderating duties like they quickly did on Howard's board (he lasted just a few days) and get him off of the overused/over abused ban button. I doubt that the freedom we have at the shrine board will ever be achieved at SFN, but one can only be encouraged by people besides drunks and drug addicts getting involved there.

Mutt's big announcement. How many lies can you spot??
We knew it was only a matter of time (post #1)
As SFN has gotten a closer & closer relationship with Sirius we've all known that it was only a matter of time before this forum had to be shut down. Several times during the last year I came close to killing it but pushed our luck a little further. Between Howard, Sirius, Howard TV, & Bubba, there were alot of parties that would have had issues with this haven of clips. I left it running as long as I thought I could but i'm getting out while the gettin's good.
Anyway, I wasn't told to shut down so don't go getting mad at anyone. As WGAS gets more legit, we're forced to act more legit. I got a phone call and we've been asked to be involved in something really big in the Howard world. (Howard will announce it Monday) I had a meeting last week after the roundtable and met the boys from Dream Tank at this cool private club in the meat packing district. They went over the details and all i can say right now is it's cool and revolutionary. Not only is this going to be great for Howard but it's a real honor that SFN is going to be involved. I'm feeling alot of love right now.
On that note, with the rash of cease & desist letters that's been hitting websites in our community, I've decided to take it upon myself to kill this now before we get caught up in that ugliness. I'd like us to stay on top.
So why does it have to go? It's lots of reasons. First, the Howard TV stuff on youtube has gotten out of control and the word I'm getting is that the man isn't happy with it. It's really brought the internet piracy issue into light. I don't want SFN lumped into that group of sites that are "ripping off" the show.
Additionally, the Bubba stuff in here was really getting out of control. I know it wasn't anywhere near to the pile of Howard stuff but there were alot of bits posted. if you missed a bit, you pretty much could find it here. In the beginning I was cool with it because i felt we were helping promote the show to the stern fans but Bubba doens't need our promotion anymore. The show has taken off and gaining momentum every day. Considering that Bubba sells those bits on CD, I was starting to feel like we were dicking him over. I don't need to tell you all that the Bubba Show has been very good to us. It was time to put a stop to it.
If sites are going to get shut down, I don't want to be one of them. This section was amazing and an incredible asset to our community. Unfortunately it was also illegal. I'd like to thank everyone that helped build it into what it had become. I was in awe when I'd come in here. It was bigger and better than I could have ever imagined it would be.
I am going to work on getting legit clips from the shows. I'd like to still have a file sharing section but it's going to have to be different. maybe we'll fill it with user submissions. maybe we'll be able to get preview clips from Howard TV. Who knows, but I am going to be putting some real thought into it all. When we upgrade the site, hopefully i'll have a plan.
