No More CL News?!!

[newzleuth]

OK, what is going on here?!!! :mad: :confused:

Why are they ending Crime Library News?!!! I am devastated.
http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/original/1207/3101_farewell.html
Where else can we get the BEST and most IN DEPTH true crime and crime-related current events journalism??

Does someone have the scoop, is it actually coming back under a new name or guise?

I urge you to write to the CL editor, and writers such as David Lohr and Chuck Hustmyre to give your support, and make CourtTV rethink this whole 'ending Crime Library News'. Ending CL news would be colossally stupid, IMO.:no:

SAVE CL NEWS!!! :patriot:

I'm a bit confused myself. I thought CL would cease to exist entirely after the first of the year. Then it was posted that parts of CL would remain, but the board would be closed. Now Hotwater claims that the boards will stay open. :shrug:

I don't know what anyone else is doing, but David Lohr (my fav CL writer) is going to be posting his news at FW's new community -- 320sycamore.com -- and I plan on moving over there also. It seems things are a little too unstable here and no one knows what is going to happen. FW is the absolute BEST moderator here and where she goes, I go. I think she is already gone and preparing to open her new community tomorrow.

I am seconding any motion to demand CL news back. Where will I go? What
will I read? Boo Hoo!:eek: I have read CL news nearly every day since they started it in fall of 2005. I did not see this coming. I do not usually post but felt it was necessary this time to let the CL team know that I am a true fan & wish that it would continue. I did not see this coming with the new arrivals to CL news, The War Room & Movie's & Entertainment sections. Hopefully with the removal of CL news we will get something bigger & better in return. If not I don't know what I will do...Boo Hoo!

[3ratones]

I cant believe that CL its shutting down the news section, I really can't understand it... Where o where would I get the news scoops on true crime??

I kinda was expecting something like that to happen cause I noticed the lack of care in update matters and quality stories.

It's a real shame, I hope CL is not next!! :shrug:

Has the JonBenet Ramsey Forum been removed?

Seems like it. Are you surprised? It's been getting used as little more than a toilet by some.

Well, I guess I'm done here then. Don't forget to flush.:seeya:

[LI_Mom]

Ridiculous.

If they're pulling the plug, why don't they just delete the board & be done with it?

What's the point in people posting at a message board where people find their posts & whole forums simply vanish without a trace? There is none.

I guess the remaining Mods simply don't have time to babysit those who have zero self-control.

I'm not surprised it's gone. RIP.

I'm not surprised either... this is exactly what they used to do at CourtTV also... they'd just delete a forum without any warning either because it was easier than moderating or because they wanted that bandwidth back.

IF this was a question that the JB board was getting out of hand, they could have simply LOCKED it & not allowed any more posts & at least give people a chance to read the final posts &/or maybe even save the posts so they could catch up on what they hadn't read yet.


It's not much of a "library" if they throw out their reading material while people are still reading.

:beer: too true.

Thank goodness for Forums For Justice.... that's one board where the evidence of people's continuing interest in the JB case isn't obliterated at every turn.

Or, they could have just banned the person who constantly caused all the trouble to begin with.

I'm not sure they have totally deleted it because my rep comments are all still there. They could have it hidden so it can't be viewed. Maybe it is just temporary until people cool down a bit.

I hope so anyway.:)

[LI_Mom]

That said, I understand that the message boards that are hosted by networks have different priorities.....

they want visitors to focus on their programming & hot topics of the day.

And they certainly don't want to do anything that might draw attention from lawyers &/or citizens who might object to what people are saying.

Why else would people get into the habit of posting, "IMO" after every post?

Mots of the time I get it but in too many cases, it has become such an automatic thing that it drifts into the land of absurdity....

"The weather is so nice today." IMO' (That could keep disgruntled weathermen off your case, I suppose) ha

(For the record, that example was an exaggeration... but I think most people know what I'm getting at.)

I think it's just hidden because the error message says I don't have sufficient privileges to see the threads - not that they don't exist. I think I know why they would do that.

Has the JonBenet Ramsey Forum been removed?

The Mary Winkler Forum is gone too. That means the speculation of Piers, et al, as USUAL, is WRONG!!! Or, maybe NOT!! Piers, were you posting on the Mary Winkler Forum too?? :no: :biggrin:

If I was, my posts would have been polite and factual and wouldn't have consisted mainly of juvenile name-calling and insult hurling.

But I wasn't. I've never heard of Mary Winkler.

[rashomon]

At least the board administrators should tell the posters what exactly is going on with those removed boards. But maybe the whole CL board is going to vanish in the near future anyway - rumors of this happening have been around since last December.

I hope you don't expect the readers who are not your minions to believe that? Anyone who "knows" your capabilities knows the vile with which you speak. :flamemad:

I TOLD you back in early January that there was an investigation ongoing with regard to the CL Ramsey Forum due to libel that had been committed by one of your "friends". I've just been waiting for something like this to happen, and now it has! Hurray for justice! :biggrin: Thanks to you, that forum was beginning to turn into a FFJ hell hole. :eek:

Don't go around blaming other people for speaking the truth about you. It was about time!!! So, you don't "like" being on the other end of it? Then keep your trap shut for once in your life!!!

[SaraSidle]

IMO the Mary Winkler and JonBenet Ramsey forums were shut down because the posts went off the cases and on to insulting each other. I am waiting for the same for Natalie Holloway forum. I believe Hotwater is still the moderator. And there would have been too many people to ban. Easier to remove the whole forum. IMO

This is just more of the baseless name-calling and insult-hurling that you have been doing for months. The accusations are NEVER backed up and I hope people take note of that.

Some of us were trying to have an intelligent discussion at the JBR forum - but we weren't even allowed to do that. Even Elvis (who is a board certified MD) and an absolute asset to the discussion was attacked. Elvis has never been anything other than polite and patient and I don't think E2 will find one person to back her up in her attempts to justify being rude to her.

There is no doubt in my mind that the JBR forum was closed down because of the disruptive behaviour of those who had "moved on" but who came back to use it as a toilet.

Finally, why would CL close down its board because of something someone had posted on another forum?

It's very sad. Some people have zero self control and need to be babysat constantly.

Like another fine poster told you about your "toilet", Jayelles. "Don't forget to flush!" :biggrin:

Where did I say the libel took place on a forum other than CL Ramsey Forum, teach? You inventing things again? Of course, glad you admit that you and your friends libel people on other forums as well. Of course, we already knew that! :patriot:

Frankly, it's becoming harder and harder to make sense of these posts of yours.

(And no-one has libelled you - not here and not anywhere else. An anonymous internet hat cannot be libelled).

It seems to me that some people won't be content until they have gotten the whole board shut down.

First you can't read and now you can't comprehend? That's certainly par for your course (path). :eek:

If you want to study up on the vast legal system here in the US, why don't you do so and report back to us when you have your Doctorate of Juris Prudence, okay? But in the meantime, stop posting false information because you clearly don't know what you're talking about, and if posters listen to YOUR advice, they'll find themselves in the same heap of sh*t you're finding yourself in. BTW, don't forget to wipe your feet when you leave the library. Yuk!!

The fastest way to get a board shut down is for people to have to smell your stench everywhere they go! Why not just go back where you came from ~ slither, slither, slither!!! Is there anything about that which you don't understand??? :rolleyes:

[DAFFODIL]

Typical E2 behaviour-causing trouble and attacking on another thread.It must be SO hard for you to control yourself at 320 if you have to come here to insult Jayelles-very sad behaviour for an elderly woman.BTW I see your McReynolds thread was deleted.Have a nice day.:seeya:

[Qwilleran]

A Doctorate of Jurisprudence (unlike the two words Eve used) simply means someone has completed law school. It is also referred to as a Juris Doctor by adding the initials JD after ones name.
