    chicagobearsdaily.com is running entirely custom software I wrote. It has no logins or cross domain javascripting or anything that would be an issue.

    I believe in the same freedom for posters Denny preaches, but I think you're getting a little carried away here.

    Whether or not you get your own separate url/domain/whatever makes no difference, Sportstwo is a great site and various posters are missing out when they stick to their team forums. I have yet to see how Sportstwo is not a respectable brand name and I like the big goals the staff has set out for us. Everything we've done recently makes sense, we have great aspirations for this site.

    Keep quiet till after they're settled huevon! Then we'll start the random bannings, post editing and anal probing.

    People act like anal probing is such a big deal.

    Get back to me after you've had a urethral probe. From somebody with large fingers.

    If you know better, then you know some of this history of the community that has begun its migration here after almost six years at BFF.com.

    And if you are reading this thread, I think it's safe to say that this is not a thread dedicated to ripping BFF... it's just talking about how to improve THIS site and ensure that it's the best experience for users and the smartest business angle for the owners/admins to take.

    Agreed, Ed. I don't have a problem openly discussing policy from the posters' perspective or good ideas like those presented here.

    I'll try to answer as direct and as honestly as I possibly can.

    You didn't stay up reading each new post that Maxiep added or read every last word of every thread like it was a soap opera like I did.

    It was awesome.

    Sitting back and reading idiotic comments from the moderators was priceless.

    Check the Knicks board, it's also pretty funny.

    I think a lot of basketballforums problems came from not following the old saying, "When you're in a hole, stop digging".

    Reading the one linked thread to the Blazers board over there, it seems like their moderating staff still doesn't get it.

    Went and checked out a thread about Zach Randolph.

    Yikes, I guess they need someone to do a little equation for them.

    Zbo = crap.

    The end.

    (note, I did love watching him on offense)

    Bump.
    Right after the great migration. Looks like Mook came up with the RipCityTwo name.

    I think Schonely owns that copyright.
