    Raptors in the Central division. That's a blast from the past.

    I hated that old S2 design when we first merged, but after a while I really got used to it.

    Ah, the good 'ol days. I miss that place. Oh well, I've grown pretty comfortable here now, so I guess it's all good.

    As for the old S2...god I hated it when I first came over. I eventually grew accustomed to it, but god did I hate it initially.

    Alot of the JBB guys felt that way, I know I did and I stayed in the Lakers forum where it was safe :D
    But look at me now! I'm more popular than YOU!

    You're wrong about the merge imo though. We found a lot of cool people and the NFL/etc. forums are more active. Plus most of the vets are still here.

    I was never for the merger, but in due time have done some great reading. Lots of very opinionated and intelligent folks here.

    Old JBB is crazy. I helped make that site visually. Ah, my nerdy days!

    I beg to differ.. but everyone has an opinion.


    I just think they tried to fix something that wasn't broke in the first place.

    I was a former Admin on BBF. I stepped down. Honestly I miss it, miss some buddies. But moved on, founds some new guys to chat sports about, and it's been fun too.

    Oh course I wish through all the mergers that everyone had stuck around, but I can't complain as we got bits of several forums, and all as noted are some fun guys to chat with.

    You're thinking about the S2 phase when it had that ugly layout, just after the merger. Things are different now, though I haven't seen you around enough to understand.

    We had a huge net gain of quality posters in addition to the extra activity.

    K. To me there was not much difference. We took the AD to new heights together. While the other forums slowed down, ours collectively took off.

    BBF just makes me think of what that forum is like now. Single digit posts per day in both the Raptors and Nets forums... what a disgrace.

    I liked old JBB; some great posters were there back in my days at JBB (sunsfan, for example).

    Though... I do like S2. A lot of long time bbb.net users have migrated over here. That, I like. And its the first time I've had some really good football talk outside of finding a team specific forum

    Celtics was a strong forum too. Celtics/Nets/Raptors had half of the site traffic during game nights more often than not.
