The owner passed away and he probably didn't have a succession plan in place.
I dont think some of yall understand how much it costs to pay the light bill every month on these kind of fan sites.

Postgraduate Scholarship to be Named in Memory of the Late Mr. Eric Moore Moore was inducted into the CIAA Hall of Fame in 2019. Moore, known affectionately as “The Guru,” was a media pioneer and a preeminent figure in the world of CIAA Sports Information and Communications, credited with developing the league’s online presence and setting the conference’s standards for in-game statistics. Moore served as a resource, guide, and mentor to many sports information directors within the CIAA and across the NCAA. He was also the Executive Director of the Black College Sports Information Directors’ Association, a role he had held since 2001. theciaa.com/news/2022/12/23/general-release-postgraduate-scholarship-to-be-named-in-memory-of-the-late-mr-eric-moore.aspx |

I weaned off the other forums when we got this one up and running. I was probably good for one to two posts a year on the others.

i really hate to see "hbcu institutions" such as onnidan close or cease to exist. these institutions are "very important", onnidan has been around for many years and has been a landing place for all hbcu athletics, but particularly those who have no place else to go.
its a very major lost, but hopefully it can be preserved by voluntary hbcu alumni donors...

True. I appreciate your hard work. I figured the forum had gone away. It was good for me to hang out and take a break while I was studying for my Masters on-line. My condolences to the friends that I met there. |

True. I appreciate your hard work. I figured the forum had gone away. It was good for me to hang out and take a break while I was studying for my Masters on-line. My condolences to the friends that I met there. I knew it was over as soon as he died really. You cant leave a legacy if you dont prep your heirs and he didnt. Eric was a great guy, and I told him that in life, but he did not have a SINGLE leadership bone in his body. He viewed Onnidan as his impact on the world and his daughter didnt give a crap. He never taught her to. A great lesson to learn in life, and in general, dont be like Eric and dont be like Prince. Get a will, and make sure its up to date. Leave a legacy for your kids, and make sure THEY know how important it was to you. |

Yep, with all the deployments I made, I always left a will, Living Will, HCPOA and taught my son and daughter all of my wishes. I've left a legacy to my "children's children".
I wish there would have been an announcement to sunset the board, though.

My dear Aggies and others communing here…..it’s nice to discover that you guys have created for yourselves a nice board to discuss all things in Aggieland. I “stumbled” upon discovery of this board by commencing a google search inquiring about the fate of Onnidan fan forum. I was disheartened by the commentary here, and registered on this fine board with the express purpose of stating a few comments. I feel “comfortable” doing so here because I recognize some of the screen names, and likely have engaged a few of you at various times on onnidan.
Onnidan went down on 4/4/23, the same day that DJT was arrested in NYC for crimes emanating from the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. This past Tuesday marked 30 days since onnidan went down. I KNOW this because I have tried to log on everyday since 4/4. But until I read the commentary here, I didn’t want to believe it’s down for good. But that appears to be the situation.
Onnidan is the ONLY social medium in which I participated on a regular basis. The discussions we had there were just terrific. And SO MUCH has transpired since 4/4 that your humble poster CONSTANTLY finds myself musing: what would onnidan say about this, that or the other?
But this is the A&T fan forum. And I am “sensitive” about appearing to dodder about, a trait commonly associated with negro men firmly entrenched in the “salad says” of our lives. God bless you, Aggie fans. And I hope your administration finally determines the athletic conference affiliations that will serve the university best as you traverse the 21st century.
Blessings to all!

Don't give up hope just yet. I think Dr. Jafus is working on trying to revive Onnidan. |
