Shame it is gone so suddenly too, and that all content is being removed. Does it have to be? If ResDubs really is to be a thing of the past, I would love it if some of the epic threads (such as the Dublin/Kerry AI final thread, or the hilarious Diarmuid Connolly aka The Breakfast Roll thread) could be archived somewhere.

It is (to me anyway) a perfect snapshot of the last 10 years in Dublin GAA.

But first, let's hope the lads behind it can find some way of getting the show back on the road. Yeah, I'm still in denial.

Just noticed I only have 87 posts in 12 years on Boards.ie.

That must be some sort of record?

Tom, where's my award?

I signed up for DubsandClubs and it closed within an hour of my acceptance email!!!!!

A sad day for Dublin GAA fans to lose its flagship website.I had actually posted there as recently as 2 days ago.Also very sad given the context of the timing with the county football final being this coming bank holiday Monday.

Still, the ResDubs moderators have their reasons for closing it down and those reasons must be respected.I do hope that at some stage in the future, there is a change of heart.

I would urge fellow posters to discontinue speculating about the reasons behind its closure on this thread. Best of luck to all who contributed to ResDubs, I would hope to see many more of that contingent making a positive contribution to this forum.

Sorry to see the site gone, having been around it for years;

It is a sad day but also one to remember all the good that came from the site like the Tom Mulligan games and cycle which raised great funds for charity. Not to mention the sessions after...

TheNap

They were probably looking for funding from the County Board to keep these sites running and didnt get any.

Is there a Dublin club section in Boards? If not maybe there should be

radonicus

It's a shame, as it was a good site.

Hopefully we'll give the 12 pubs of Christmas one last lash..

It was an unofficial MB. The reason it was so good was because you have lads from almost every club, playing at every grade in all codes posting on it so results, fixtures were always up to date.

Shame it's gone. it was a good resource and a bit of craic.

Well there's no other county with a club section so why should Dublin?

Drop me a note when you get a chance.

The BAN fanzine also finished up this year.

Was never a member of the site, but read some stuff on it in the past.

Sorry to see it go.

If any ex-posters from the website have joined up here in the past few days, I wish them a very warm welcome.

Is that the photo that got Res Dub closed down?

If so I fully understand why the mods would say to themselves " F this for a game of soldiers"

no.

closing the site was a voluntary decision.

don't believe stories from people looking for their moment in the sun.

No bother. I guess you were one of the mods in the past. Thanks for the clarification

As others have suggested, hopefully a forum will arise from the ashes and we can get back to discussing Dublin club GAA matters.

an agenda from roundy?????????????

still enjoyed reading the site whitey, big loss, fair play to ya............................. never posted homo stuff.........to this day I stand by it, your beloved roundy altered it...........couldnt give a rats anyways, 2011 is all that mattered

I will echo the sentiments posted here about ressers... I had a falling out with the site some time back, but I guess that's to be expected when you consider I was a member from it's inception. Truthfully though, I loved the feckin site and will miss it dreadfully. That's as honest as I can be... And if one thing good comes from this, then it's that I hope the potential replacement site will be treated with a bit more respect by the posters. What happened yesterday was nothing but a shame. I saw the post, and it wasn't pornography, however, it wasn't appropriate, and I fully respect the chief administrator for his opinion. It's a damned shame it's come to this!

So, who's up for ressers2?

By the way Sack, I saw your post that day. I know what you posted, so you can stop telling porkies!!!

Now either you didn't know you were posting from a dodgy URL, or you knew very well what you were doing!

As it stands, I will miss the site terribly!

It will be badly missed, especially for those of us who spend a lot of time out of the country. It was a great way of keeping in touch.

I started the day mourning the loss of Res Dubs. I end the day having learned that Sack (In Spandex IIRC) is alive & lurking here somewhere.
Today has been GUBU on many levels :eek:

Thanks to you & all the mods for their efforts down the years Mr White. Damn shame. The site was a regular port of call for me for the decade it lived & breathed. Hopefully the posts will be archived & won't just disappear into a black hole. It deserves to arsebox into infinity!

Very sad to see the site go!! never really posted on it but would be checking it daily for updates. Hopefully it might come back!

trueblue4ever

damn shame its gone ,really going to miss it. Still cant understand why it was closed down with such haste , sleep on decision overnight ?
didnt see the offending pic/ post so cant comment on how bad it was , but anyone that posted anything on the site was very careful as to what they put up so as to avoid what ultimately happened .Just cant understand how one incident can bring down a site that was on the go for 10 years. when you look at some other sites and what posted and they sail happily along .Dublin Gaa scene is just to big not to have its own site , FFS ,even the lily****es and the lemons have a site. Bet they are pissing themselves laughing res dubs is gone , oh well, still have boggiestand:D
