Will you PLEASE stop telling people (inconsistent with the way this board operates) to go to the OT forum? Thanks. Ed O.
They should have had moderators that were more mature in charge. That would have taken friendly advice from people that had much more experience than they did, or at least not done more damage than existed before they got there. Ed O.
If someone comes to your site with the intention of luring away your users, I could understand. If a long-time member suggests a new place and many people choose to leave, I think you should question why your site makes them want to leave. If I owned BBF, I'd have handled the whole situation rather differently, rather than saying "Do things our way or leave. Wait...how dare you suggest leaving?"
not all the threads are still around where they can be seen by normal members. they've been deleted from the regular forums but still can be seen in the mod forums(or something like that).
All I know is that I haven't been here for a while, and I've been laughing out loud for the last fifteen minutes reading this thread. God, I wish I had time to hang out in here more often...
Interesting. And do you think that hurts or helps your defense of the moderators not acting like facists?
I'm enjoying too . . . takes my mind off the trade deadline . . . well no it doesn't, but it does make for light entertaining reading.
i just thought i should put that out there if someone was actually going back through to look at threads and try to see what happened.
Doesn't it though? I'm serious; I'm having a blast in this thread. It's all in good fun, IMO. Like most people who fanatically follow the Blazers, I have a bit of OCD. Changing the subject helps me from running ESPN's Trade Machine a few thousand times.
Yet me telling people Rudy didn't deserve to be in the Dunk Contest finals is trolling and is discouraged. /hijack
IIRC, your ban was pretty hilarious. KEAFy no likey Kanye hate. And Cinco De Mayo was an assclown looooooong before the BBF fiasco with you guys. I had multiple issues with him.
Rudy's slam dunk over Dwight Howard in the Olympic Gold Medal game was all the only credential required. Probably close to a billion people have seen that dunk. The only dunk probably seen by more people than Rudy's dunk's was THE Vince Carter 2000 Olympics dunk. That's only because these been more time for people to see the clip.
lol whats up with that dude and kanye? i didnt even really hate on him i just thought the album was going to be bad from what i had heard. he edited my post saying some bullshit so i edited it back lol and got banned for like a week.
Back to the here and now.... BBF > S2 for NBA forums outside of the blazers. I surfed the bobcats s2 forums two days before the deadline - ZERO posters. I tried other teams too, no posters. If you're not going to get excited (or at least curious) right before the trade deadline, you're not a part of S2 forums. The threads weren't even current. I really wanted to know what other teams think... So, I went to BBF. There weren't very many posters, but there were SOME. They even had some current threads. It's dumb to go to forums and not even find current threads - that's why I think BBF, while terrible, is better than S2 (Outside of the blazers). BTW, passing NJ wasn't much of an accomplishment since they have very few posters. Right now, the blazers forum has 64 visiting, the lakers has 4 (no wonder DaRizzle hangs out here). All of the other S2 NBA forums have 2 or less (most have zero watching right now).
I wonder if there is there anything Blazer posters could do to attract more NBA fans to this site? Start posting in the general forum?
