Over there you would be lucky to get a full day of the same idea on page 1. The news seemed to flow in a lot more frequently over there as well. It was certainly growing chaotic towards the end. EJ Manuel pretty much ruined the last year or two. It just seemed like you could get ideas out individually without being merged. A lot of times here, very specific POV’s are merged into a very general topic. It makes it hard to get read. I have grown fond of TBD and it was a nearly seemless transition. I appreciate the general hospitality but still tend to take slight exception towards the negative comments about BBMB. It was a very solid message board and the non troll lifers that made it home, were often times very insightful and die hard Bills fans. This place has been a very soft landing spot and it is nice to not get blasted by a mod every time you push the vocabulary limit. If this first season here ends the drought, then the BBMB will serve as a sacrifice to the football gods. Go Bills! There are pluses and minuses everywhere. Forums have personalities and cultures that are defined by their users and their moderators. It was different at BBMB. Some people liked it better there, some liked it better here. I'm glad this place was here so that we had someplace to land.

I'm glad this place was here so that we had someplace to land. Yeah me too. When it was first taken down I had to check a ton, thinking somehow it was just my phone or something. It was like a surreal moment. Then I remembered a few times where people over there mentioned this place...just seemed like the only real option at that point.

Shaw was a rare exception. In a way I pity them, because it's really pathetic for a grown man to power trip on his message board mod authority and dedicate his waking hours to tirelessly defend the honor of Doug Whaley and EJ Manwell. But most of those guys were insufferable douche nozzles that made that board unreadable and I'm glad they lost their little jobs. ¡Eres racista! 1

In fact, depending on what exactly you may be looking for in terms of tone/mood I always thought the smaller boards, the Range (now HCBBT) and the Zone were a lot more fun than the BBMB. Certain mods there made for a stifling experience. That T&C guy used to give me infractions just because another member would ask him to. Overall it was way too politically correct and in your face for my taste. What is HCBBT?

davefan66 Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Honestly, BBMB had not been good for years. Dates back to the first round of permabans on the “but”. After that, it became a peeing match between some posters and the mods. People started pushing the envelope even though it as clearly stated some things would not be tolerated any longer. Yeah, some of the mods were overboard (teratoma for one), while others were just doing their job. It just kind of escalated over time. The one question asked all the time, is why shut it down? Simple. The Bills no longer wanted their team run fan site to contain any negativity towards the team, couldn’t handle it. After years of futility, and of us backing the team, what did they excpect.....roses?? Edited December 3, 2017 by davefan66 1

T&C Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 It's so nice to see so many familiar faces/posters here, all assembled. The only mods from the bbmb I lost contact with are Flafitz and Chazz, wonder what they are up to now. I had Jayhawks contact info but can't find it right now, he was one funny mofo lovem or hatem. He was my mentor way back... There are a lot of half truth's and also a Lot of information omitted in the postings here... I have no problem taking it out into the open to clear any air that wasn't clear already. Big 12 sightings!!!

B-Large Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) ah, the old BBMB. The But used to be maybe the single greatest sub forum ever on a message board. There was a distinct group of poster in the sub, some really find ****, until the hammer came down and everything was an infraction. Kinda drifted elsewhere after than, mainly this mastic little nook. Ive heard from a friend who was a mod there that there was no warning, it was just gone one day. The theory is that OBD wants to used facebook and other social media to communicate with fans, and fans with fans. wasted a lot of boring workdays on that site, find memories indeed.

Usually, we sent a PM to members with a problematic user name asking them to change it. Hard to imagine your name even raised an eyebrow. I thought it was strange too. Maybe it was similar to somebody that was causing issues. I guess I'll never know.
