So how does Bob not get into more legal trouble for essentially looting Shaggy before handing over the keys?

Because he didn't. That's what's so stupid about this whole gotdamn thing. The simple fact, that the jury and Kevin couldn't understand, is that "Shaggy" was not the website itself. It was the members. And we're a bunch of assholes. Really damn loyal assholes.

Just finished listening - great stuff! They are damn fools if they don’t take you up on your offer to do a weekly segment! 

I'd  even listen to a commercial or two.  Insert goldjerry.gif

I'm just anticipating further shenanigans by that cocksucker Kevin. May have been better to arrange to have someone else post that another website was being started, soliciting donations, etc.

Internet audio stream froze during the dfigs story. Hit pause and play and the entire interview started from the beginning and froze at the same spot. Guess I'll wait for the podcast to catch the end. 

Great job to all those involved.

Couldn’t listen and was running late. Had no choice but to follow the thread from start to finish. Even the thread was funny. Can’t wait to hear the interview.

Kevin Morgan and his douchebag Harvard lawyer can't do jack shit.  As others have pointed out, all Bob did was post truthful information about the change in shaggy ownership and formation of new site, which would be owned by somebody else.  The exodus from shaggy and the utter shitshow that's been left behind is completely the product of voluntarily market choice.

If Kevin Morgan is really going to try and make a go of running shaggy, he'll quickly realize that even in this world of somewhat impersonal e-commerce, personal loyalty can still be a pretty fucking big deal.  Shaggy was a unique internet community for Longhorn fans that was Bob's creation, and was so significant for so many of us that when Bob left, so did we.  Kevin Morgan might as well try to buy Franklin BBQ and smoke a brisket himself.

DFigs!  My fave Blacklab bomb drop on Shaggy!

This story dropping was my first introduction to shag. Read that whole thread and I just knew. This was the place for me.

That was fun

podcast with Tyler Coe and trey in works as well

Hell yeah, haven't heard Tyler in a while. He definitely would fit in (if he's not already on Surly) well here.

I'm pretty sure you are the poster from another fan base that Bob mentioned as labeling the shag, ' a collection of the smartest assholes on the internet'

I would be surprised if he wasn't on here. I'm pretty sure he posted every now and then on the shag

Tyler was a long time shaggy fan. 

Admitted they went to shaggy to get ideas about what to talk about on air. 

yeah, it was overwhelmingly obvious on some days.  good job.

That was about exactly as I thought Trey and BK would go.  Trey gives no shits, he's going to ruffle a few feathers if need be.  BK being younger wants to make sure he doesn't do anything to fuck up his fledgling career (lol!) which means he was a little more cautious but definitely in the game.

Bob did a GREAT job of negotiating through the usual time crunch on radio vs. making a good story, needing some time to explain stuff.  Nice work.

$10 says Kevin Morgan calls blacklab within the next couple months complaining about the lack of patronage at Shaggy. Within a year he'll offer to sell the rights back for much lower than he spent to get them.
