What team has the best NFL message board in the world?

[John from Riverside]

I have not seen one better than TSW

[MJS]

Most of them are just terrible from a UI standpoint. They seem ancient and horrible to navigate. It's great that we don't have to deal with that here.

[Beast]

Every message board is so much better to read after the team loses.

 

Except this one.

Anybody know of any other teams' that is equal or better?

 

Drop some links of good ones here if you got 'em. Going forward, folks can even refer back to this thread as sort of a bookshelf if they want to check in on other fanbases for info.

What do you mean by good? As in design or discussion?

Yes

Jets nation and finheaven are decent boards, the rest are pretty blah. And man dont even go to the giants board unless you wanna relive netscape websites lol

 

Most are pretty flawed though or hard to navigate as a new user. Broncos and browns are bad. 

 

Ravens is ok. Colts is ok. Titans is same ***** OK.

 

Patriots board isnt bad.

 

This is one of the better honestly.

There must be something about Bills fans... the Bills fan forum for native Koreans is pretty excellent.

I really thought I was gonna get Peter Panned here. Although it could be an entire message board dedicated to Peter and I wouldn’t have the slightest clue.  

[BillsFanForever19]

I mean, I don't know for sure as I don't know all 31 other teams most visited message boards.

 

That said when something happens like us signing a player from another team and I go looking for that teams message board, more often than not I find a board that barely has any recent posts on it.

[Logic]

I have been to several other teams' forums.

No other forum can match the mix of constant/consistent activity, quality posters, quality posts and quality moderation that this forum offers.

Any other forum that I've seen that has as many quality posters, posts, and moderation, lacks the activity level. Sometimes whole days go by between new posts or replies.

Likewise, any other forum I've seen that matches that activity level of this place, fails in at least one of the other three -- and sometimes all three -- categories. The oft mentioned Chiefsplanet is a good example. Very active, but HORRIBLE posts, posters, and non-existent moderation. I will also echo the sentiment that it's an awful, toxic cesspool in general, and should be avoided at all costs.

All factors considered, and having poked around many corners of the NFL message board world, I believe I can truly and honestly say, with no hint of exaggeration or hyperbole, that this is the best NFL team message board in existence.

I havent looked at all of them but I have looked at the other AFCE teams and chiefsplanet a bunch

 

Phinsforum or whatever is a little rough around the edges, but once you're there a bit they're not bad and have some good posters

 

Jets and Pats ones are pretty bad

 

Chiefsplanet is the most toxic forum i've ever been on and I spent significant time on 4chan & somethingawful.  Just bad, unfunny people

 

Yeah, I forget what was recommended, but IIRC our resident Chiefs fans @Zerovoltz and @Billl told us even Chiefs fans regarded Chiefsplanet as unbelievably toxic and the Chiefs fans with neurons went somewhere else.

Well, this one, Natch.  Keep up the good work with the pruning sheers, Simon!  Being an uttah bahstahd, I’ll drink to your good work 

 

The times I’ve visited, Russell Street Report (Ravens fan board) has had some really knowledgeable folks there.

I’d say half of the top volume posters here are atrocious. So it’s not this board.

I would say here and Forums.colts.com use to be very good but it really has gotten slow in there now very few people post regularly anymore. 

That's one of the reasons this board is fantastic. The members posted fervently even during the sad sack years.

Go ahead and list the better boards with reasons why

I don't post on Chiefs planet....I've said before....just not my kind of place.  

 

And I've also said...KC has some really knowledgeable fans...some are nationally known, some are working in analytics... and there is a lot of good podcast/creator types out there, but the forums....eh.  Not so great.

 

This place is the best fan forum I've been on.  Plenty of activity in good times and bad...lots of discourse and discussion about your team and NFL stuff.  I don't know if you guys realize how good you have it.

 

I've also been a long time member of a Broncos community....good group of fans, but it's small and seems to be shrinking as a combo of both the team sucking for a while now, and also, too much infighting on their politics and religion section.

Maybe it was @Billl..someone named a couple Chiefs fan forums they said were pretty good and I went there and looked around, they seemed OK.  Certainly a mile above chiefsplanet.

[HOUSE]

The board was much better place when Yolo was posting minute by minute updates. That was the main reason some  members were lurking here.

You guys may have forgotten about Yolo but I haven't 

I sure hope he returns, miss you buddy...

Finheaven also has a ton of traffic.   Those guys hate the Bills as much as we hate them.  I am probably biased but they seem to be more emotional/upset by any little thing and get offended by nothing more than this group.

ChiefsPlanet is very popular, though it is a rough crowd.

I remember going there when the BIlls were headed there in the playoffs for the div round two years ago...one comment was "lets rape them til the room stinks".

I have no respect for that crowd, they will encourage playing Tua till the guy is laying brain dead on the field. Geeez, move on

i think i just learned something here.  That i need to use.

 

I introduce bills fans to this website maybe 20 times per year.  Here in LA, whenever i meet one and have time and a pen, i write down this website address, so they wont forget

 

And almost every single time over the years, i see that person again.  "Hey, did you check out TBD?" and its always always "no."

 

I think i learned from your post that i fail to tell them WHY they should come here.  why its different.  why you cant just check in once per month.  How its active every single day. 

 

I need to step up my game.   Didnt realize the 'competition' was that bad.   didnt realize what people's expectations are, based on their experiences with inferior products.   Since i never goto other fans' websites, except follownig links posted on here.
