Billsfaninwtn Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 First post on here. Coming over from the BBMB. It's crazy they just wiped it out like that. O well, looking forward to posting my contrarian views on here.
Buddo Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. I've been a member here for a while, yet lost a bunch of bookmarks when 'upgrading' my PC, and never came back until yesterday. Tbh, I'm rather surprised I remembered my password. Good to see plenty of decent posters have made it over, hopefully a few more will do so eventually. I'm utterly disgusted at the manner in which the MB was summarily shut down. While there might have been a lot of bitching and moaning about it, a simple days notice would have sufficed. 'Social Media' is a joke when it comes to trying to have a sensible discussion about, well, just about anything. While it can certainly be argued that sensible discussions were becoming fewer and farther between, nonetheless, they still existed, and it's what any message board is all about. It's very strange, but the notion of getting people to 'engage', just seems like a load of garbage. Killing the MB off like that, left me feeling totally disengaged.
/dev/null Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Well there goes the neighborhood. XD I urge you all to visit PPP. We could use some fresh meat...er I mean new perspectives. That's one way to thin the herd
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Dumb question, what is "BBMB"? And what happened to it?
/dev/null Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Dumb question, what is "BBMB"? And what happened to it? Message board on the official Bills website was shut down abruptly and without notice.
ndirish1978 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Welcome guys and thanks SDS, all your hard work absolutely does not go unnoticed
TBBills Fan Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Hey Bills Fans! Sad to see the BBMB go out like it did.. However it was getting bad over there anyway I became a lurker so that I wouldnt get sucked into horrible and pointless arguments Looking forward to some fun discussions on TBD
BillsFan4 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks for having us Scott! It's appreciated. This seems like a pretty great message board. I have lurked for a while, and had thought about signing up, but you know old habits die hard... Glad to see some familiar faces over here, too. Thanks again for having us.
Bills4everNY Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you Scott. I like what I see here on your board already. The welcome is much appreciated.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The issue we probably have the most trouble with is "crusading". The bottom line here is that there isn't a single poster on this board that has the power to make any change with the team. And because of that, there is no reason to try and make every single person agree with you by bludgeoning everyone with the same opinion endlessly. Make your point once. Make it twice. Make it when appropriate. Just don't make the same point in every thread, every day, day after day. It just pisses people off. I think this is one of the best rules here. it was a serious issue at the old site. great to see it wont be tolerated here.
Captain_Quint Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The important people have shared the rules, and the curtious ones have welcomed you. From Quint, youll only get exactly what you deserve. Rambling, often hurtful, mostly incoherent pot shots while Im high on PCP or drunk on the shrimp boat. Looking forward to it! Welcome everyone!
JM2009 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you Scott. It's good to see so many survivors over here. I think this is one of the best rules here. it was a serious issue at the old site. great to see it wont be tolerated here. Welcome my old friend! Good to see you here. BBMB rest in piece Even glad to see you my friend.
Hammered a Lot Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Tbd has become a second home for myself. Over the years my wife and I have made many close friends all over the country because of this site. As I said in another post, we may not always agree on everything but in the end we are all Bills fans. Just remember to be good to others even if they don't see things your way. Everyone has their idea what is right for the team but, in the long run we have zero input to what goes on. During the season after the TBD opening tailgate party we post a TBD parking at Hammer's Lot thread. We do this for anyone that may becoming to a game that may not know anyone in the area and would like to tailgate with some of the TBD people. Gives you a friendly place to be together with others that you get to know through TBD. We also do a 518 area code lunch get together in the capital District several times a year (Clifton Park - Saratoga area.) for members of TBD that like to talk Bills Football. Any of you new people in the area are more than welcome to join in. We welcome all you newbies to a very special place that Scott has given us to talk Bills football. A hearty Welcome to the Bills fan from a other board. I wonder if the shut down had anything to do with the realignment of the Bills PR dept.. Keep your eyes open on the tailgate board for the annual TBDAHOT (Two Bills Drive Annual Home Opener Tailgate) were TBD posters come together, eyeball to eyeball, drink to drink, grill to grill, and have a great time tailgating and talk a little bit about the Bills. This is a very friendly event. Last year the tailgate even got on a segment of a national food channel like program!! Edited March 3, 2017 by Hammered a Lot
HappyDays Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 It's like a family reunion. I've decided to give everyone on my old ignore list another shot. I will miss all the craziness over there.
JM2009 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I've decided to give everyone on my old ignore list another shot. I will miss all the craziness over there. me too. I wonder if they will come over here.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Welcome my old friend! Good to see you here. good to see you as well old friend and a lot of familiar folks from the incinerated bbmb community...
