Living in the Midwest since 1989, it was always hard to get Bills' news through local sources. As the WWW became mainstream, I started going to the Bills' official website. One day I noticed a link to a "fan forum," or something like that, and discovered the BBMB. I lurked for a few years before getting an account and posting. It was nice to interact with fellow Bills fans.
When BBMB shut down abruptly in 2017, I looked at other fan forums. TBD seemed to have the highest quality of posters - better than BBMB for the most part - so I joined. I'm glad to be here, and I'm happy to see some of the better BBMB posters also migrated to TBD. Like any internet forum, it has its share of trolls - some came from BBMB and others were native to TBD already - but I've made judicious use of the ignore list.
I'm a somewhat casual fan in terms of football knowledge. I know the rules, strategies, and some of the nuances, but not to the same degree as some of you folks, so I appreciate the edification I've received (and continue to receive) while here. So thanks to SDS for creating and maintaining it, and thanks to most of you for making it worth spending time here.
