So to the best of my recollection, Dan Collins posted a MTOW defending Gaudio from allegations of infidelity that arose I guess on a UNC message board. The really strange thing was, the rumor has no traction and was irrelevant - Dino was already out at Wake and had been for at least several months or longer.
The blog went up, was posted on Scout. The exact sequence thereafter is a little fuzzy, but the mods at scout kept deleting threads discussing the post (Collins deleted the blog at some point during this). dv7 and Irish continued to post the substance of the blog/start new threads.
Dv7 and Irish were eventually perma-banned. Moons may have been as well or was around that same time. In any event, Irish, Dv7, and others decide to form this board to permit people to discuss Wake (more) freely. IMO, this place has been an improvement on Scout.
I welcome corrections and clarifications from others.
