transplantbillsfan Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Do you remember me? I remember you. I remember how stupid you said I was for concluding EJ was a bust before week 8 of his rookie year? Do you member? I member. Anyways, water under the bridge...I just couldn't not bring it up. So I see you grew bitter over time. I actually asked around about you a number of times because I enjoyed your posts. I was 100% wrong about EJ. He's one of the worst QBs I've ever seen play. You were totally right there. I mean that sincerely. Happy? Do you still love Bortles?
Scott7975 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 not to keep harping on the old board because it's over, but my favorite infraction I received was one for responding, "ewwww" to a thread suggesting we bring in mike vick. it was a non-expiring point. the reason for getting the point: going off topic. i actually wasn't off topic on the thread at all, and the comment wasn't even in the ballpark for something that warrants a non-expiring point. when i complained about it, i was told tough ****, and that i could always go to a new board. looks like we're here. ok...i'm done venting. I got perma banned because a mod favorite was harassing me and I stood up for myself when the mods did nothing about it. Hi Teefle!! Some still bellyaching about BBMB mods and the C.O.C? Color me surprised. If it isn't the king of high horses
T-Bomb Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 blah blah blah The mods on those boards were ridiculous and self absorbed, along with some of the high post count members. It was a silly online clique. I'm glad the forums died.
The_Dude Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 So I see you grew bitter over time. I actually asked around about you a number of times because I enjoyed your posts. I was 100% wrong about EJ. He's one of the worst QBs I've ever seen play. You were totally right there. I mean that sincerely. Happy? Do you still love Bortles? Bortles has all the tools. Honestly, his second year was good. This year not so much. I have no idea what is up in Jacksonville because they seem very talented....till they get on the field. Let's see what Saint Doug does with him. Am I bitter? Yeah, I was bitter for getting banned, but that wasn't your fault.
CommonCents Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 From the little bit I've inadvertently surmised there are some escapees from that plantation that know you as "Stephen". CALLLLVINNNN! News flash to BBMB refugees........we don't care about your former board issues.........we knew it sucked.....but you're here now, settle in. Django!!!!! Badol's hitting home runs before spring officially begins.
Matt_In_NH Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Sometimes mods would give infractions just because they disagreed with your point of view. They would not say that but exactly but it was pretty obvious as they would struggle to justify the "reason". I'm glad its shut down.
TheElectricCompany Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Hey Eric, good to hear from you- we're back in Denver, and happy to be so- you still here? Yep, we live in Arvada. Welcome back!
Figster Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) From what I remember you were given more leeway than most. You'd call people names and escape without infraction. If anyone said that to you they'd be banned Yes and for good reason. Many good members were unfairly given infractions by modes like standingbufflo. The mods ruined that message board Well do us all a favor and start fresh without the baggage. Letting Mods and admin know here on TBD how much of a problem you were on BBMB or how unappreciated the people were that tried to give everyone a good community to gather in isn't exactly the most intelligent thing to do IMO.

That's the thing, it wasn't a case of giving EVERYONE a good community, it was more like social engineering. If you didn't fit their mold/clique, you were marked. They were the most immature mods I've yet to encounter on the internet. Edited March 7, 2017 by T-Bomb
teef Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Well do us all a favor and start fresh without the baggage. Letting Mods and admin know here on TBD how much of a problem you were on BBMB or how unappreciated the people were that tried to give everyone a good community to gather in isn't exactly the most intelligent thing to do IMO. you need to let it go too brofist. mods were a big source of pain for some long time bbmbers, and they way they were handled was unfair. there was literally nothing posters could do to defend themselves against certain personalities. a lot are pissed about it. is it a big deal? not anymore, but you can't be shocked by this at all. people want to vent. some mods were really terrible to posters. as mentioned, i had a very specific mod, (i wonder if you know him) that actually violated the coc to infract me. when i tried to discuss it, i was never given an answer, and ultimately was told to go to another board. i mean...what kind of !@#$ would do that?

kickedface Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 lol the admins got their work cut out for them. and i'm sure the trolls will return
Figster Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 you need to let it go too brofist. mods were a big source of pain for some long time bbmbers, and they way they were handled was unfair. there was literally nothing posters could do to defend themselves against certain personalities. a lot are pissed about it. is it a big deal? not anymore, but you can't be shocked by this at all. people want to vent. some mods were really terrible to posters. as mentioned, i had a very specific mod, (i wonder if you know him) that actually violated the coc to infract me. when i tried to discuss it, i was never given an answer, and ultimately was told to go to another board. i mean...what kind of !@#$ would do that? The CoC was there for everyone to read and its a different situation when the forum is also connected to the team officially. 17 years without playoffs can make a fan base nasty. Do you think they had an easy job teef? I don't...
likei've Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 of course it is. on top of that, i'm super pumped you're here. WOOT WOOT! two questions... where's Jay? and... does it strike anyone else as odd that the troublemakers kept their names but the fun admins just giving everyone a great place to commune are hiding under new names? i'm willing to move, as should everyone else. but just like them not to be held accountable.
Riverboat Richie Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Why do you guys insist on keeping that place alive? It's over. Love it or hate it, that was then and this is now. Time to move on.
T-Bomb Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 hey, so, what's going on in here? Are we winning the offseason yet? Or does the new coach not do that sort of thing? I'm so lost...
likei've Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 The CoC was there for everyone to read and its a different situation when the forum is also connected to the team officially. 17 years without playoffs can make a fan base nasty. Do you think they had an easy job teef? I don't... the CoC was interpreted by people in MANY different ways.
