Guest dog14787 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 In case any of you were unaware as I was, our best Mod /Staff Columnist/ Bills historian, Lori Chase is no longer with us on TSW. After a good friend of hers, ESPN's Tim Graham was very rudely treated on our forum Lori felt like enough was enough and it just wasn't much fun around here anymore. When you look at it from Lori's perspective how could you even blame her, Mr.Graham takes time away from his busy schedule, comes onto our forum to share his opinions and in return we disrespect and cause Tim to leave, meanwhile Lori has to sit there and take it all in. Sound like much fun to you? I say we because unfortunately a few bad apples on top can make the whole bushel look rotten if you don't throw the bad ones away. This is Lori's Twitter http://twitter.com/LoriTBD Facebook http://www.facebook.com/lori.chase You guys/gals get a chance, drop her a line, let her know what she means to our Forum and how much we miss her, or post your support on this thread, Lets get Lori Chase back home to TSW where she belongs... Added note: I would like to personally thank everyone here for all the strong support they have shown for Lori, and for also proving that people do really matter on TSW because people do really care, Thanks
The Big Cat Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Before the TG arrows fly, let me just say that in 2010, coming to sites like this IS Tim Graham's "busy schedule." But you're right, he didn't exactly get the red carpet treatment, and whether anyone's to "blame" for that is a point of contention I personally don't care to debate.
Steely Dan Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 There needs to be a Lori here. She knows more about the team than anyone here. Here's two thumbs up to Lori coming back, please.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Dog. You stole my idea. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...p;#entry1922791 But I don't care. It's for a very worthy cause. As I said before, hopefully it's a temporary hiatus, but it is time to reach out. I sent her a Facebook message. Hopefully we hear something back soon.
Alphadawg7 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Dumb question here... Who is Lori Chase? I dont mean that in a disrespectful way, just wondering because the way she is talked about here seems to indicate some connection to the team, sports media, or both. I live in CA, so I only know her as a poster on this board and a mod. So, is she just a good poster and mod, or is there some kind of Bills connection or media connection too? Either way, its always a shame to lose good posters, and I the TG debacle shouldnt have happened either...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Listen, I know Lori longer than most of you people here. This board has substantially (and not necessarily for the better) changed since I first joined, and since Lori was here (before me). I think her leaving has a lot less to do with Tim Graham leaving and a lot more to do with some of the mulletery that occurs on a daily basis around here. Just my .02.

I know....I thought the board actually got worse once JoeSixPack left.....just my .05
Nervous Guy Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 people come, people go. hmmm...that's what my boss used to always say.

Lori Chase knows the Bills/football like the back of her hand and she does have a connection with the media, Lori covers local sports for the Port Allegany Reporter Argus, a newspaper in northern Pennsylvania. Lori also writes a great preview for the Bills games vs their opponents each week. Click on Two Bills drive and Lori has a featured article at the top of the page, she's a staff columnist. better yet here's the link http://www.twobillsdrive.com/buffalo-bills...rst-50-seasons/

John from Riverside Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I am sure in no time there will be a mulitude of posts about how nobody is above the board, dont care if she stays or goes, tim graham had to thin of a skin, yada yada yada Lori (in a tie with the Dean) were my favorite posters here......and it really po's me that people on this board have to conduct themselves in a fashion that would cause people like that to think they dont want to spend time here. This place is above what some other message boards are......but the bar is getting lower and lower and lower
BigDaddy12 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I first started coming to this board about 10 years ago and it really was a nice place to come for not only Bills' news, but to connect with folks (be it local or transplanted) who share that western New York mentality. Over the past few years the camaraderie has faded and the board has become a place to get your spelling mistakes corrected and opinions trashed if you are not "in the clique". It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
DC Grid Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I heard the real reason both Lori and Tim left was that their skin was so thin that typing hurt too much.

I didn't know she wrote a preview each week, so if she comes back I will check it out. I always thought she was a good poster and a good mod, just wasn't sure if there was also a team connection or media connection based on some things I have seen people post. Hopefully she comes back as this board cant afford to lose good posters as the quality of posters seems to be going down.
