I think S2 is about to turn the corner in popularity because the former best Blazers forum has just turned into a gulag. I'm sorry but I remember a time when Blazersedge was easily the coolest Blazers site. It started to go down hill for awhile when Ben first came on and started knocking Oden and boosting Durant but Ben actually got better. Sadly, Dave started to lose his edge and really come down hard on posters for the littlest things such as going off topic even slightly and responding to rudeness with rudeness. I'm sure I will still read Blazersedge but it's become WAYYYY to Nanny-State for me so I'm coming here to post my thoughts on the team. I expect there will be a wave of refugees like me soon due to the recent Stern-like locking down of a thread criticizing the new extreme moderation and favoritism shown there. Any other Blazersedge refugees in the house?
I still like the content at BE, but comments are better here (not necessarily because we're all smarter or anything, but the forum format does favor more in depth responses). The best thing? swearing is not only allowed, it's encouraged!* Welcome to S2. * I have no idea if swearing is actually encouraged or not...
This forum became extemely popular a while back when those idiots over at basketball forums did the same thing.
I never really "got" blazersedge. too much info, too much writing. seems good for news and shit since they have twitter accounts but their analysis is too fucking boring.
I have never liked Blazers Edge or Dave. When I brought that up at the "previous" forum, oh boy did I get flamed...
funny how a bunch of sites are all going haywire lately and ailienating their regular's to the point of leaving. Blazers-Edge, O-Live, and BBF.. wonder what the crap is going on.
I never could get into the BEdge comments section.. just so damn unorganized. The content they have is really good, but everything else... no thank you.
Blazers Edge is a blog that allows comments, this is an open forum; I don't really see how the two are comparable ... but welcome here all the same.
Welcome to everyone here. I don't read BlazersEdge (unless someone here links to it), let alone leave comments, but it is always unfortunate when a good community gets broken up. Except, of course, if it brings smart Blazers fans here. Ed O.
nobody is getting alienated at BEdge. people are overreacting because dave made some regular users mods so they could help with spammy posts/comments in the fanposts. somehow people think that he is turning into Hitler lol. and to respond to your original point, I think it has to do with the bandwagons filling up and now there are just too many people to control.
