HappyDays Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Here's the thing, if they can't handle a message board meltdown, how are they going to handle a football team? It's just a message board. I could handle a meltdown on that by myself. But what we have is an NFL management team, who can't handle a rowdy message board. That scares me. That board was an important place for hundreds of the thousands of people who used it for around 15 years. It was rude and mean spirited and disrespectful to just shut it down like they did. Cowardly even. If they had been rasied rtight they would have known you give people a chance to connect and reminisce and say goodbye. And yes you have to handle some posters who would have been melting down. Big deal. The Buffalo Bills humiliate and debase themselves and they don't even realize it. Afraid of message board posters going off, that is just pathetic. Yeah shutting it down like that was a horrible move. A warning of some kind would have been nice, I enjoyed the conversations I had there and worst case scenario forum members could have stayed in touch. Plus lots of good discussions buried underneath all the BS, lost to the ages now.

I must say tho, I thought the board went down due to a cyber attack or a severe need for an upgrade. It just seemed so - "in the middle of the dayish". Jeez, I was in the middle of posting something. I also think that OBD is just too chicken to hear REAL criticism and perhaps, as hot asa it was over there, it was about to get hotter. Anyway, Thanks again, Meanie
Doc Brown Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I went a day and a half and can't take it anymore. They could of given us a warning. Can you at least say vague on here?
oldmanfan Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Well I've now moved over. Old man from the Hoosier state with a new user name. I don't get why we couldn't get a head's up from OBD about the other board closing, but look forward to hanging out here. So what did I miss?
davefan66 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I went a day and a half and can't take it anymore. They could of given us a warning. Can you at least say vague on here? Saw some profanity and knee jerked until remembered what site I was on!
4_kidd_4 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 BBMB was getting to be a total "no fun zone" anyways.

I received a temporary ban for using the phrase "EJ apologists" and I created a duplicate so that I could dispute the ban with a mod, and then I got a permaban. I was pissed. I enjoyed that place.
Buffalo_Gal Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you for having me. So much to get used to here! Trying to figure out what the shout box is for one...
KellyToughII Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Shutting down the message board was another bad move by the organization. I do not understand why they would piss off a large section of the fanbase by doing this.
Heitz Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you for having me. So much to get used to here! Trying to figure out what the shout box is for one... Sort of a real time chat - gets fun during games (O_o), but is just a everyday chatter on here. If you think that's strange, explore the PPP board!

We call apologists fanboys !
Roundybout Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Uh oh... Can we battle for it? Maybe gladiator style? Or thunderdome if you're more of a fan of that? can't we go BEYOND thunderdome? (christ I hope someone gets this)

KermitMcDermott Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 You couldn't post on that board without getting flagged...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 You're one of about 10 on the BBMB that I enjoyed reading their posts. Welcome.So 7 more than here ? Wouldn't it be fun if with all these new posters Scott made us do away with the same number? It would be like relegation in the Premier League. I wonder who would get voted off? Would mrags stay?
Heavy Kevi Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 can't we go BEYOND thunderdome? (christ I hope someone gets this) Is there any other way to Thunderdome? I'm not aware of any.
Commsvet11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I always lurked between BBMB, TSW, Billszone, and the range, but I posted on BBMB, nice to see some of the banned posters on BBMB that came here.
Roundybout Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Is there any other way to Thunderdome? I'm not aware of any. no MST3K fans here? I am disappointed.
KGun12TD Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I don't normally go there...too much Koolaid. I come here for the angry, disgruntled and what could have been posts.

If you think that's strange, explore the PPP board! Do the gameday threads get crazy? I think every weekend there was a 100-200 page gameday thread that was absolutely insane. Or does the shout box kind of take over that "can't-help-but-post-every-inane-thought" during the game function?
