I got no idea what happend to the soccernet message boards. When I click on the link, it refers me back to the homepage.
Not to dis this message board but Arsenal Message board on Soccernet is always active nearly every minute unlike the message boards in BigSoccer.

Almost certainly because of the rape allegations and people speculating on who it is. The whole thing is now a ridiculously delicate matter, and the Rivals.net network got shut down for a few days, as did football365.com. Having read some of the rape post, I'd have to say that if this site wasn't American and was more well-known over here, then this board would be shut down as well

No matter how well know, it is US based and British law does not have jurisdiction. It will remain up and running.

Football365/rival is only running during business hours, & heavily monitored. They shut it down @ 5pm or there abouts.
