I'm hurt. But that's okay... and he didn't post in here because he didn't care much for the Blazers and also at the time they hated everyone not affiliated with Portland. I say bring them back.
1. Cpaw left with a snarky remark about Blazers fans. Yes, obviously he was pissed about what he perceived as poor treatment of KC, but his manner of protest was inappropriate for anyone, much less an admin of this site who had lots of other avenues to voice his disagreement and argue for some sort of alternatives. 2. Similar behavior from other guys (mostly GMJ), despite the fact that it wasn't widely noticed amongst the general Blazer's community (because we acted quickly to put a stop to it) was going on. Combine those two things and it's pretty clear that despite their initial stance, when the rubber hit the road their response to not getting their way was to publicly try to pick fights with Blazers guys and cry hypocrisy. Yes because of KC, but the manner in which they did it was by showing a real willingness to piss in everyone else's cornflakes. That stuff is absolutely not going to fly with me. You accept that kind of stuff from kids who don't know any better, not guys who you know do. Perhaps it's not fair to say they weren't willing to "share" S2, but they, especially cpaw, had a very big voice here and they had the opportunity to push things in a constructive direction, but the moment there was a major disagreement, it seemed people were quick to start taking shots at Blazers posters as a method of public protest. Perhaps the theory of being willing to work for a much bigger community was different than the practice of actually having to do it. Perhaps they were just really mad. I dunno... but the tone and behavior of those guys changed almost from the the moment the situation did with getting another large community of posters here.. If you think it's all 100% about KC, then that's fine, but their willingness to "go to bat" for the guy by lashing out at a completely separate and uninvolved set of new posters certainly wasn't the right way to go about things. And I do know that the situation with KC couldn't go on with him behaving the way he was behaving, and we'd exhausted other alternatives. I likewise have lots of respect for the time and effort you and the rest of those guys put in here, and I wish you all were willing to stay and have fun. I don't that was gonna happen though. I don't think Denny or I or anyone else was asking for anything unreasonable from anyone. But again, that's just my opinion, and what's done is done.
GMJ was the worst. he would throw shots at blazer fans all the time. i dont even know why he was so mad at "us"
To be fair, I don't know of any site that has much in the way of Bobcats posts. I remember when MikeDC and I were admins at BBF, we used to talk among the staff about some sort of crunch project to build up that forum there, but it never gained any traction. SportsTwo gets ~28,000 visitors per month, about 25% of those are first time visitors. It's been consistently that way when we had an active Nets forum and still that way since NetsDaily's forum opened. While the Blazers forum rocks in all the good ways, it represents 1/2 to 2/3 of all our activity. Again to be fair, we have decent Bulls, Lakers, Warriors, Raptors, Rockets, MMA, and Footy forums where you'll find a decent amount of activity. Good posters/people every one in those forums, IMO. My view is that you guys have been using vb3 for years at other sites; if you want to find our other forums and post there, you will. I don't discourage you from posting all over the site, but I am thrilled to have you all doing your thing even in the Blazers and OT forums. At least two guys who came over to S2 with you have become mods here of our other forums. MikeDC and I have a lot of experience as admins of a site with several boards about as big as this blazers forum, and we recognize what a robust and mature team forum looks like and this is it! More power to you all. If you all feel motivated to help, the least you can do is stick around and keep posting after the NBA season is over.
The NBA season ends? After the Finals is the draft. After the draft is free agency. Then summer league. Then preseason. Then the regular season. Rinse, wash, repeat. Ed O.
they said they wouldn't miss us lol combine that with their hack issue and now their repeated password resetting bs - they are in a much much different position than this time last year - good on them, they deserve it - bunch of fucktards.
Maybe not. There are still nearly as many posts in the Blazers forum as there are in the rest of the Western Conference forums combined. Someone is probably missing us. Ed O.
They might not miss us but the whole BBF hardly gets any posts from what I can see now. I do agree outside of the Blazer forum BBF gets more post the S2 but still not that much. I would rather post here even if there wasn't anybody but Blazers fans posting at S2. It is just a better forum IMO.
It practically is just a basketball forum + Offtopic forum anyway in terms of activity. At least it gives a proper forum to discuss the superbowl or whatever if basketball/Blazer fans ever watch another sport.
