I live in the Midwest and don't have anyone to talk to about the Bills. In the early 2000s, I started going to the team's website for news. Then I saw a link to a fan message board (the old, infamous BBMB) and started reading that. I lurked for a couple of years before getting an account and posting. When BBMB shut down, I started looking for other BB fan forums, found several, and liked TBD the best, so here I am.
I'm also semi-retired and I don't have a lot of hobbies. (If I did, I'd probably retire completely.) So I have a fair amount of free time. I've been watching football since I was a kid but never learned a lot of the nuances of the game. Some of you who watch the All-22 and can analyze game film have taught me a lot about the Xs and Os. I also appreciate the camaraderie of being around fellow Bills fans.
