    I just got this email:


    Last time I was there the oldest post on the first page was over a week old, and there were five mods and 2 guests.

    I bet they are missing our post counts this time of year. We used to almost shut them down on draft day.

    nope. the portland section of the forum is basically empty because you all left, but i'd say bbf as a whole doesn't really miss you at all.

    And it is roketeer coming to support the BBF again and telling us all that they don't care we left.

    I think we got that message the first hundred times you said this. :D

    116 listed as "viewing" on all forums right now at BBF, with total being at 294 (74 members and 220 guests).

    http://www.basketballforum.com/

    Right now, S2 has 125 viewing the BLAZER forum alone, with 63 of them being members. To say BBF doesn't miss this community is hilarious.

    to be honest, people don't really notice that you're gone. the forum is still just as active as before everywhere but in the blazers section. i guess that's what happens when people only post at one small section of the site.

    Posters don't care, but the email ad was hilarious, and any advertisers are surely noticing the loss. I don't really care about being "missed" by anonymous schlubs; I just wanted BBF to realize that we were basically customers. Looks like "mission accomplished" since they are now trying to revive the glory of draft days past.

    "You suck without us"

    "Nuh uh"

    "Yuh huh"

    Isn't vertical scope the thing they use for a Colonoscopy? This and the mention of shit sure makes a lot of sense. Thanks for putting it all together for us, buddy :cheers:

    What is a vertical scope? If they don't care about losing half of their audience on a site, I'm guessing they don't really care about that site. :devilwink:

    I'm sure they miss the thousands upon thousands of page views that they no longer get.

    Is that the site where most people here came from cause the Mods went crazy there?

    Yep! MUCH better here, no doubt about it. I laughed when I got that email from BBF. What a crappy site that is.

    it all started with me bashing Obama. some people couldn't handle it, so they went crying to other mods and a shitstorm ensued. quite fun!
