It is under control and nipped in the bud now. Apparently they broken pass the spam filters that we pay money for on top of the software and we went through a few other options to lock it down further. I am truly sorry this has happened.

It looks like the spam bots figured out a way to bypass the spam filter settings on the website and I have since taken measures now that will force things to look at those sign ups even harder. I also have implemented manual approval for new members again until I can feel certain that we have totally nipped this issue in the bud. I appreciate you all that reached out to me. I am truly sorry this happened and I hope we don't have a repeat going further.

You are asking way too early... especially with reclassification delayed until early March.

I would be checking your browsing history then man... all I am going to say.

You are wrong.... things will be reseeded after this week. Will give you all scenarios later today.

Which ads are we talking about? The ads are based on your location and viewing history. And I don't allow ads like that to pop up because I have them specifically blocked. May want to check your browser settings.

The MaxPreps brackets ARE the official FHSAA brackets as well... So yeah please send my payment...

@Dan in Daytona --- READ THE RULES THAT ARE PINNED TO THIS FORUM AND THE WARNING BAR ON TOP. This isn't some railroad job that you are going to claim here. I read your posts and you went straight into politics. This is not the place for that.

THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE ON THIS Scores are only as accurate is what is reported to us and me and @SportsNut25 work hard each week to make sure EVERY SCORE is verified. We are having to fight against another group that puts scores in and sometimes something will get missed. We try to lock the scores down, but we do have a few people out there who think they are cute and do things each week. So please... if you all need anything... EMAIL ME... my email is in the signature below!

Thanks for understanding. Just don't want things running wild here.

Please keep all the comments to a minimum. Nothing is confirmed and anything you all say will be perceived as a rumor until otherwise confirmed. Please keep that in mind tonight everyone!

Just replied back.

This pick'ems contest was not authorized by FloridaHSFootball.com. Please seek out admin permission next before running this. Thank you!

Got a list of kickoff classics for this week... which is very fluid with changes happening by the minute it seems. Let me know if you all see anything that needs to be added as well!

Trinity is not playing Cocoa.... that game is off the table for now.

@Jambun82 @SportsNut25was just putting the thread together for me, which is 1,000% appreciated. All those graphics and tweets being put together was done by yours truly here. Being a member of the FWAA allows me to get access deep into the College Press Box Portals to do this and put together graphics like this and graphics that are properly formatted for the three social platforms all through one single template that I have. No easy task. At one point I was backed up getting graphics out at the end of the 4th round because we had back-to-back-to-back picks. It can be stressful especially if you make one little mistake. But I have fun tracking and doing this each year and have done it each year basically since I launched the website in 2010. Eventually I will go back and research the history of past drafts to put together a more comprehensive list of where these guys came from that have played in the NFL from Florida or at least have been drafted.

When I mean TOUGH... I really MEAN TOUGH... Like when you all see it, you will see what I am talking about. There won't be any room for errors.

They may have Week 4 already locked up. Can't say who, but just gonna say Cocoa is going to have the state's toughest schedule.

Yes, plan is to have everything like it was in 2019.

WOW! Sorry to hear this @181pl ... those are the kind of fans you always want to see at games. Godspeed to his family and friends!

I am FINALLY posting the 2020 All-State Football Teams Class 8A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/09/2020-class-8a-all-state-football-teams/ Class 7A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/09/2020-class-7a-all-state-football-teams/ Class 6A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/09/2020-class-6a-all-state-football-teams/ Class 5A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/08/2020-class-5a-all-state-football-teams Class 4A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/08/2020-class-4a-all-state-football-teams Class 3A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/08/2020-class-3a-all-state-football-teams Class 2A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/07/2020-class-2a-all-state-football-teams Class 1A: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/07/2020-class-1a-all-state-football-teams Independents: https://floridahsfootball.com/2021/04/07/2020-independent-all-state-football-teams

I have no idea what is going to happen there. Can't even begin to tell you. All I know is I would love to see it return like the rest of you. A decision that can only be made by those that have the power to do so. I miss it as much as you all do.

By no means am I rich here guys. I was just able to start paying for some independent contractor work, but that isn't much of a drop in the bucket compared to what IT SHOULD BE compared to what I CAN afford at this point. This is also why I have a second business I am a co-owner of because this doesn't pay all the bills. If it did I wouldn't need the second business most likely. Right now I am in need of a new vehicle. I can't even take the current vehicle I have to most places now because its old (20 years old, 190k in miles) and its just got little issues. I have to rent a car to go to some places and some places I am cutting back on making trips to right now. At this point I have to determine if ad revenue is going to be enough or if I have to start charging everyone to use the website for viewing content and possibly even the message boards just so I can keep things afloat.

This should help you out as to what direction these teams are going in. All Saints - SSAC 8-Man American Collegiate - non-FHSAA 11-man Clearwater Academy - non-FHSAA 11-man Haines City - FHSAA had left them off the list... will be independent Hillel - Not sure... will have to find out Inlet Grove - Didn't even field a football team in 2021... may not be ever again. Will have to talk to Chris Kokell and see if he knows anything. Jordan Christian Prep - non-FHSAA 11-man Joshua Christian - non-FHSAA 11-man (they struggled in 2020... not sure if they could end up 8-man) Lighthouse PCA - non-FHSAA 11-man Northwest Christian - Not sure what is going on here St. John Lutheran - SSAC 8-man St. Johns Country Day - SSAC 8-man Surge Academy - non-FHSAA 11-man Tampa Bay Christian - Not sure what is going on here with them.... might be 8-man, might be 11-man.... no telling TRU Prep - non-FHSAA 11-man West Oaks - non-FHSAA 11-man YKIM - non-FHSAA 11-man Zarephath Academy - non-FHSAA 11-man

Sorry for being absent here. Been getting a lot of things situated here in the new year plus working on All-State teams so a lot going on. Also working on relaunching a podcast so been trying to lay down the groundwork on that. One of the things I am planning on doing this year from this point forward is focus more on the board and keep a better focus on things. As for Old School Lion, all I can say at this point is I revoked him being a moderator along with everyone else until I can get a better focus on that. I may add @peezy28 back as a moderator in the near future, but the only other person at this point is going to be @SportsNut25who I have paid to do some work for me from time to time and I have a complete trust with him with things on the backend of this website. Old School Lion was also one of the ones that made the inflaming comments and I messaged him about it. Instead of having a conversation about it and why he did it, he never read it and basically walked from the message board. I won't tolerate what he did from anyone. As @Perspectivehas said, I had to make a choice and really it comes down to it, I don't have a bucket full of money to survive and defend a lawsuit. It comes down to living life as comfortably as I can in my means or fighting big bucks. I have to chose my battles wisely. If you all want to contribute and support what I do (it is not cheap... server space is not cheap either), I will soon be setting up a Patreon where you can be a Patron of this site. The Patreon will also have ties into the Podcast and the plan I have, but is all I can say for now as the plan is not final just yet. Also, one more thing... if you all have a suggestion for me for the message board or the website itself (topics, stories, ideas, etc), please let me know here or send me a message. Josh
