kegtapr Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Reading this thread was like attending a family reunion. Lots of great people I haven't seen in awhile, a couple of second cousins who tried to make a scene and even drunk Uncle Beerball who tried to touch me in the coat room. See ya'll in 5 years.
Rico Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Seriously, on the others, I agree they were characters who added something to the collective. Not that I particularly like having them around, but they were legitimate entities (not so sure about Spiked, though). But I think in all cases where types like that were banned, they were banned for clear reason. You or I may have missed the particular incident that broke the camel's back, but we have pretty lax moderation here. If you were banned, it isn't simply because you were disagreeable. And I believe many of those banned are back (or have come back at one time) under new handles.I have no problem with the mods having to take action re: banning, mostly because you're right, I don't know the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. But in most cases, it was pretty easy to see who the douchebags were that ran them off the board.

Rico Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 I did not! No, I don't remember you running anyone off either... I would skim through that NJ Sue homework thread again to be sure, but it's not worth it, I've already got you labeled based on other things.
SwampD Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 It will be a great loss (especially to my Sunday mornings) if Lori's pregame reviews are a thing of the past. They are better than anything out there. That said, the line about thin skin making typing painful was just plain funny.
Golden Wheels Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Just saw this thread....bums me out. Lori knows Penn State and Bills football like no one else I know. When someone like that gets turned off by this board, it says alot and none of it good. Back to lurker mode....
ajzepp Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 So you're saying it's my fault, too? Of course not, cuase you ARE never wrong LMAO!

Chandler#81 Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Then, there are people such as Lori, BADOLBILZ, Simon, R.Rich, and some others that take it to another level. AKC is one of those people and imo, posters like this separate TBD from other sites. Think about it.....why DID this site grow to this extent, despite the horrid performance of the Bills both on the field and in the front office? There are lots of reasons, but posters such as AKC come into play. This obviously is jmo. Quoted for truth! jmo2
UpperDeck Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I think the tone of this board has changed over the last 10 years because of the team. There haven't been very many positive things to speak of over that stretch.
Bob Lamb Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I love when you bastards come out to play. I was at the Nevada / Reno Wolfpack Campus last week and was by the the Mackay Stadium and the gate was open so I walked in just to look around - nice little WAC field Finally someone noticed and said - can I help you ? I said, "No - just here scouting" - I was wearing a PENN STATE T-shirt - One for Lori They're still probably trying to figure that one out One more old bastard reporting in
Matt in KC Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I just returned from a two week vacation and saw this thread. Hopefully Lori's just taking some time off too. I have nothing new to add to the abundance of posts singing Lori's praises, but felt compelled to post in support of her. Lori's articles, posts and moderation would all be huge losses to TBD/TSW if she walked away. Edit: Aug 13 Article by Lori (Welcome back!): http://www.twobillsdrive.com/buffalo-bills...ameday-preview/

Welcome, Mr, Lamb
SDS Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Let me tell you people something....if it wasn't for Lori, SDS would still be selling meat from a truck in Minneapolis. My application was rejected because I don't have enough experience...
DC Tom Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I was at the Nevada / Reno Wolfpack Campus last week and was by the the Mackay Stadium and the gate was open so I walked in just to look around - nice little WAC field Finally someone noticed and said - can I help you ? I said, "No - just here scouting" - I was wearing a PENN STATE T-shirt - One for Lori They're still probably trying to figure that one out One more old bastard reporting in "On The Lamb" is probably the first article I ever read on TBD. That, or "Kultarr's Pouch". And if we get a Kultarr sighting out of this thread, I'm buying lottery tickets.
EndZoneCrew Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 My application was rejected because I don't have enough experience... I thought you sold meat on the corner of Franklin and Chippewa during the 80's?
Green Lightning Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Tim and Lori (and jw, and others) have direct contacts within the organization. The right to express an opinion does NOT put make one equal to those with real information. The right to be heard does not equate to the right to be taken seriously. Great post.
KnightRider Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I just read through most of the posts in this thread... Even if Lori is gone for good, (which I really doubt), I do think she'd have a smile on her face reading it. There's a lot of names of posters I have enjoyed reading over the years, present in this thread...
