It was more of a place to go when TBD was quiet I didn't know this place existed until BBMB shut down. That's when I did a search for Buffalo Bills discussion forums, found several, checked them all out for a few days, and decided that TBD seemed to have the best quality. BBMB was good for a while, but in its last few years it went downhill. Maybe I didn't notice that until I came here and saw how much better TBD is. I'm glad some of the better BBMB posters came over too.

I’ll be the first to admit I thought bbmb shutting down was the worst thing for TBD as the first few months of integrating the new posters negatively affected my enjoyment here. As time went on, we (Scott, the mods, the community) regulated properly and most of the bad seeds are no longer. 1

What was bad about BBMB was the volume. There were a ton of posters, and it was hard to find good active discussions among all the crud that some people thought fit to post. 1

MDH Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I might thank Scott if he’d update the link to the Bills 2019 schedule. Just total laziness! ? 4
crusoe Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Yes, I’ll cheers to that — many thanks, Scott! I’ve been coming here daily for a long long time, though I rarely post. I really appreciate the hard work that goes into updating and moderating this site. Thanks for making this my online favorite Bills destination.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I was never on BBMB, but from what I understand, almost any critcism of the team/coaches/FO etc wasn't tolerated. I'm also a member of the most popular Bills group on Facebook. Don't want to name names, but if you're in there, you know which one I mean. Absolute trash of a page. Just people posting stale memes about Brady, showing off tattoos, and random pictures of them wearing Bills gear in what they always like to call "enemy territory." Or pictures of wings becuase "Get it? We're from Buffalo so that's our favorite food?" On the rare occasion they actually talk about football, it's takes that make even the worst TSW article worthy of the cover story of Sports Illustrated. It wasn't until I joined the latter group that I learned to appriciate the camraderie and well thought out posts on here. I don't post much on the main board. Mostly because most of you know so much more about football than I do, that I really don't have anything of value that hasn't already been said. But I've learned a lot from you guys over the years, and met some people that I'd genuinely call friends. Thanks to @SDS and all the other mods (especially @Canadian Bills Fan who I like to think got the job because of my hard work as a campaign manager) for keeping out the riff raff posts. 1

I got banned for a starting a thread that compared Tyrod's stats to EJ Manuel's, or something like that. There were some terrible mods over there that banned people for no reason whatsoever. 1

We don’t always agree on things but we all have one thing in common -our love for Rachel Bush. Ever since you moved to New Orleans you have become more libertine. You are a dirty young man who aspires to be a dirty old man. As an objective observer you are on track to fulfilling your aspirations. ? And by the way SDS we appreciate what you have done in building this site. I get a lot of joy from it. There are a lot of smart people who congregate here. And there are a lot of dumb people who congregate here. So there is a good mix to this location. Edited August 12, 2019 by JohnC
RobbRiddick Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 It's okay here... but I wish they'd get that f****ing schedule sorted out 3
DCbillsfan Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Well put. All I hear down here is Redskins. Thankfully Dan Snyder is clueless. ?

That's when I discovered BBMB - it was operated by the Bills' organization. I really didn't have a problem with the mods there, although there was one who seemed to have a double standard about insulting other posters. (I won't mention names, but it's NOT one of the two who now post over here.) I did get a minor infraction once, for posting a link to an Onion article about Fitz. (He was a Bill then.) The article (but not the link) had the F word in it, so I got a slap on the wrist. The mod who did it was cool about it, though.

Don’t get much of that here in Los Angeles. Best forum of any kind I’ve ever been part of. Kudos @SDS and the rest of the mods/admins for running this thing for us schmucks. I piggyback your sentiment and epitomize the word in bold. 1
