Been 5 years since BBMB went down

[Another Fan]

So I checked in my profile yesterday and saw join date of 3/3/2017.  Right after BBMB disappeared I found this site.  I wasn’t in their long, just a few months before it went down.  Wanted a place to vent after Rex’s last game.  
 

So we might have found the playoff drought curse wasn’t Doug Flutie or Billy Buffalo but BBMB.  Lol

 

Its been fun.  Cheers

I'm also a transplant. Overall, I find that the quality of posts at 2BD is better than BBMB. I'm glad that some of the better BBMB posters jumped over here.

This place is great, and a welcoming home.

 

That being said, BBMB for life.

While I never was a member there, I find it hard to believe that a team website that would want to control all its content actually housed a fan message board. I know it used to be somewhat common, but makes no sense.

I suspect it was rough on the Mods for a while there. I have to give them credit for welcoming all the new folks while establishing expectations. In the end, a lot of great new posters came from that.

RIP BBMB and John Madden.

As a survive of the collapse of BBMB I am happy to be here. The discussions and posts are vastly superior for the most part and there is far less rose colored glass fans.

Somewhere in Florida, there is a guy still defending Tom Donahoe.

He moved back to New Jersey.

this is really odd that this came up.  yesterday my cursor fell over my avatar, and my sign up date as 21017 came up.  i was shocked that it had been that long ago.  it was a ton of fun and a lot of great people.  it's too bad it closed as abruptly as it did, but this board is great.  much better football talk here, not that i ever contribute anything to that.

And Geddy Lee's 4th step-cousin from his mother's uncle's (by marriage) side.  Fly high, angel.

Lol... are you talking about Flafitz?

 

Donahoe almost shut it down years earlier than that but was talked out of it, hence the short novel called the coc.

bbmb was a place where many out of staters kept up with their team the Bills. I chatted there off and on for years. The way the plug was pulled was super sudden and *****.  Posters dispersed and many are here. Im grateful for 2BD and have no desire to reminisce all that hard on the past. It was a glorious MESS at times Off the chain...filled with some great posters. Some no longer with us.

 

RIP bbmb.

Listen you ^^$&#% jerk, we abso-^#$&*(%-lutely were not an "angry bunch". Trust me GODDAMMIT! I F*(@#*(# know, buddy!

JM2C: It was one of the only official team boards, especially at the end. That carried a lot of weight for me, participation wise. The idea that all the saucy ***** we did and etc made it to actual Bills brass at times....that was kind of the appeal to me. I do love this place now but....to me BBMB, for all it's warts, was the major leagues of being an online tool of a fan. Non-offical boards are the minors where the only person you are annoying is some well meaning fan...where it the fun in that?

 

I do feel badly at all the fun we had at the mods expense, most of whom were pretty cool folks, just trying to do a job. I mean, yeah, there were some...um...interesting candidate choices at the end (ahem, rock chalk) but I enjoyed going down with the ship.

I'd be shocked if players and executives don't pay attention to some of the TBD content.
