Here is my side of the story.
Monkey had a lot of problems with alcohol. He went through a rough period and made some mistakes.
I spoke to him a lot the few months before he died. I was “this” close to buying it from him. Then he died.
The people who run Utahby5 were friends with him/his wife. They are the “old” blood of UFN. They left UFN when it became popular and started Utahby5 and turned it into a “old blood only” Utah site.
When monkey died, they gained control of UFN and have found themselves in a sticky situation. UFN went rogue between the time monkey died and they took over.
It would take a lot of time and money to bring UFN back up to speed. And change. And they don’t like change.
They don’t want to do the work, they need the clicks for money to maintain the site, so it’s devolved into the mess it currently is.
It’s too bad. I had big hopes for that place, but it’s just spiraled into the mess it is currently. It needs someone to take over, overhaul it from top to bottom and rebuild it.
