There's 3 possibilities I've considered, none of them involve money.
1. The wrong person read the forum. Possibly Mike, Katie, Hobspin, or maybe even a player or two. Perhaps Dalton, Gresham and/or Maualuga saw a negative thread and pitched a stink about it. Total speculation, but I could see something like that happening. All 3 of these players (and more) have fired back at fans on social media.
2. The FO just decided they want to focus on other parts of social media or adding something new to the website.
3. I'm not making any accusations (again, just speculating), but maybe the admins/mods were tired and wanted out, and the FO just decided to close shop instead of keeping things rolling with folks they weren't familiar with. 34 sounded pretty burned out to me and he was kind of the head honcho there. If that's the case, I can't blame 34, because I'm sure it was a lot of work and he was at it for 10 years.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
