    I first came to hornfans when the old hookem.com website was retired. I vaguely recall LonghornGirlie welcoming all the refugees from that site. It's sad to see this site now retire.

    I don't post here much, but I read often. (I did start a thread that made it's way into the classics. But it wasn't my post that made it classic, it was all the regular posters on hornfans that replied and made the thread so funny.)

    Ultimately, I hope that hornfans finds a way to stay open.

    If not, I'd suggest the following alternatives:
    1. Reddit has a subreddit called longhornnation : The Link

    2. The site texas.247sports.com has a forum you can pay for called "the flagship" that is pretty good. The people are nice, and there is a lot of good football discussion. It seems well moderated.

    3. barkingcarnival has some former hornfans posters that sometimes have nice writeups, but it doesn't have much of a forum for users to post. They generally just post comments on posts.

    4. Stay away from shaggy. The groupthink there runs deep. The users are vile, vicious, and pretty much worse than aggy, which I don't say lightly.

    There’s an effort underway to keep HF running. Stay tuned.

    I visited Shaggy in the distant past - it is a ghetto and not for me. Horn247 is pretty good. I registered for Horn Sports but I am hoping some of the IT wizards on HF can somehow keep this going. Keeping my [​IMG] crossed!

    Sixpack,

    My story is almost exactly like yours. I went to the hookem site at the computer lab in the late 90s to report practice reports on the upcoming 97 season. I did an excellent job of making sure everyone knew how great that team was looking and that it would be an awesome season. I'm a genius.

    I go through phases on this site but mostly just read it daily.

    I'm probably going to hornsports.com if this one dies. I've been checking it out the last few days and while it has a bit of a dorky quality to it I don't pretend to be too good for that.

    And I'm with everybody on shaggy. That site is good for a laugh sometimes but only in a "checking out the craziness on jerry springer" kind of way.
