Old Buffalo Bills Message Board

I was more of a lurker than anything, but I remember five things:

 

1. Diesel-USMC, after watching EJM play QB for this team, would constantly write these lengthy essays that insisted EJM would be fine.  Oops!  Diesel-USMC was then accused of stolen valor, yet nobody was banned, which was odd because the mods were always banning some person or another.
2. @jrober38 and @The_Dude went on massive crusades against EJM, like hundreds and hundreds of pages, and were never banned, well, until they were.  I used to enjoy reading their screeds over my morning coffee.  And then @jrober38diversified and suggested that the Bills should bring Cutler on board, and that Jameis Winston and Carson Wentz were bluechip players.  Again, loved reading it.  The hour I spent each morning reading the absurdity of it all -- showed me a bunch of people who had too much time on their hands.
3. BBMB had a rule (TOS) about being banned if you got banned then returned under another username.  Well, @jrober38did it when he returned as spursfan.  It was clear for all to see, and I got to enjoy the show for a second time, and spursfan wasn't banned before BBMB was shut down, but goddamn.
4. I once decided to troll a couple of the people mentioned above by appearing with the nickname of VealCutlerWillSaveUsAll, and got banned in about a week.  Interesting choice in moderation, and frankly, glad that BBMB is gone.  We're all better off.
5. One poster asked if EJM was the most divisive Bills' player ever.  Really?!

Omg I remember this!

Holy cow! Is that 6 years ago already? Wasn’t it 3/17? I remember thinking “WOW! Where did all these folks come from all at once.” I had no idea BBMB existed, but hats off to SDS and the Mods during that patch. It was…..an adjustment period for many. 

 

But in my own selfish way, I’m glad it happened to bring us a bunch of great new posters. 

Thank you for confirming my greatness lol

That's interesting.    I had a good time there and a lot of good discussions with people, high quality discussions.   But it was chaotic.   There were plenty of good threads ruined by nonstop name-calling and nastiness.   I suppose if you had the capacity to ignore it, it wasn't bad.  

 

Plus, I guess I didn't like it in part because I was mod, and trying to get people to be halfway civil was an impossible task.   Sometimes, I thought I was refereeing WWE matches.  I guess I can see that some people liked watching that stuff.  

It was the best!

I remember this person but not which board it happened on. Didn’t he always have a signature like “Peace and Love everybody ✌️” at the end of his posts?

That was Butch.

I don't miss the old bbmb at all. They crashed after games constantly, mods were unbearable at times. I've enjoyed It here much more 

[Adam727]

I moved over from there when it was removed.  I don't miss every over-reaction getting it's own thread on the old BBMB. (It's really felt like home this past week!)  I do miss all news and player updates getting their own threads though.  On BBMB if I wanted a quick update on all things Bills I could just scroll through the thread topics on the first two pages in a minute or two instead of reading to page 75 of the main thread of the week to try to find out how a player's injury is trending.  I'm grateful to have found this place though.  I agree this site is moderated better and the conversation is usually better too.

T&C, you were an awful moderator. Own it.

 

You are a hell of a lot better when you’re just one of us. You actually seem like a pretty decent guy. 

We as awful posters need to own it sometimes to you Beast ;  )

I 100% agree with you.  He caused all kinds havoc over at the BBMB.  I had major issues with him then.  A lot of people did, including the member who posted his address.  
 

He is better as a member here 

This poster that posted a mods address went to far in my humble opinion. Sounds like an out of control poster don't you think?

 

With all due respect JohnNord

1 post a year for 12 years might be the most impressive statistic of self-restraint ever registered here.  🤙

WHOOOA! We have a problem.  Did that really happen? I feel dirty now, like I’ve been watching “reality” TV.
