This was the ULTIMATE exercise in denial. I used to frequent tIlliniboard back when it was still a part of the Scout network (they've since split and both have a huge amount of activity, which indicates just how big it was before the split) and while all the rumors persisted about Gordon & IU, every time anyone would post about it AT ALL, the thread was deleted immediately and the poster banned. Hell, when he actually DID decommit and commit to IU, several posters attempted to break the news and the Nazi mods deleted the threads before determining their validity!
And just for the record, the old Illiniboard had the strictest mods EVER. Any negative comments about anyone even remotely associated with UI were deleted immediatly and the poster banned. They didn't allow
anything critical to ever be posted. It was all SBing all the time, and if you didn't like it, FU. Good place for info (except Gordon to IU info), horrible place for discussion.
