BBB.net posters were suckered into migrating for the Mods profits

LMAO, boy, you have a selective memory.

 

yet here you are.

 

yes, I'm here. Is that a problem for you? In fact, Ghoti was just here, too, and explained why he no longer posts on the site, but his explanation was deleted. Go figure. So much for--what was that phrase? Oh yes, "radical trust."

 

Damn, someone deleted ghoti's post? That's pretty lame.

Could you give a synopsis on what Ghoti had to say. or if ghoti reads this, could you pm, I'm interested.

It's unfortunate, because he was one of the many old quality posters that left/stopped posting.

BTW dumpy, if you had the avatar of the head mashing into the keyboard, I really hated that av. lol

 

That avatar is exactly the way I feel right now, with the way the old Nets forum that existed here is being portrayed. We initially came here from BBB.net, by the way, essentially for the same reason you did, but just a year or so beforehand.

Incidentally, for some reason I refer some of our posters here from time to time, if I think they prefer the posting style here. Why I do so, when we are subjected to these sorts of attacks, is beyond me.

I'll let Ghoti know.

 

Btw, I was known as Lavalamp prior to DennisRodman, but I got locked out of it, so I made a new acct.

Personally I didn't like you guys having a Nets OT forum, however most of you guys were active in the community and in the regular OT forum, and most Nets fans used the regular OT forum far more frequently than the Nets OT forum anyway.

 

who is portraying who as what the what the huh? you guys all left, i would love it if you hadnt. i know yall had beef with denny, but were we a problem too?

 

what attacks? whoa nelly.

 

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I enjoy interacting with most of the people in the Blazers board, which is why I come back from time to time, until a few posters make me feel unwelcome, and I leave. The only concern we had that impacted the Blazer activity had nothing to do with you, but decisions that the admins made to accommodate you. Contrary to what was written here, threads that were made in the Nets forum were actively moved to other forums around the board, to "force" the Nets fans to interact with the rest of the site. [it worked pretty well; the Nets posters soon became mods across all forums, including forums for non-basketball portions of the site like soccer] I remember, specifically, that there was concern that new posters would come to the site and look at the "new posts" lists and only see activity in the Nets forum. But there is obviously a double standard at play here, and that was frustrating to some people. For instance, I enjoyed going to the "religion and politics" forum, but that is now nonexistent, and has been taken over by the Blazers OT forum--so there is no so-called "neutral ground" when posters from other parts of the site want to comment on those sorts of issues. You can decide for yourself whether this is a good thing or not.

But, to be clear, that had nothing to do why we left. We left because our friends got banned. And, as Ghoti might say, the pointless drama.

Incidentally, the Nets OT forum was used primarily for just silly little things or references to New Jersey, or personal questions that people had for their on-line friends. It was never as robust as the Blazers OT forum.

 

He's saying that with revisionist history, only one side is being told, and it doesn't properly represent what happened.

Therefore making them look bad.

 

Let me just add that I'm not unhappy with the way things turned out . . . but I get annoyed when the former Nets board here gets disparaged, and I'm here now to defend my friends. It would be a simple thing for the admins here to simply say something along the lines of, "we made mistakes with regard to our treatment of the Nets community, but we've tried to fix them and are more attuned to the needs of the Blazer community as a result." Instead, we get a cock-and-bull story about how "we couldn't get what we wanted" or some such nonsense, probably because certain people here felt that no one from the former Nets community was here to defend themselves.

I'd suggest that when 200 or so posters make a mass exodus from a discussion board, the admins of the board can't be blameless. The fact that the admins here want you to believe so should raise some red flags. That, in fact, is the entire premise of this thread: The Blazer community left bbb.net (or whatever it is called these days), and the admins there want you to believe that they were blameless in what went down, and you disagree with that assessment. Sounds familiar to me. If there was, in fact, "radical trust," we'd be welcomed back. I feel anything but welcome right now.

 

Guys, this thread's gone way off topic... MODs, can you move it to the general OT forum?

 

Guys, only a couple of more posts and I can afford my vacation to Hawaii next week.

 

Hell, only a couple more posts and we'll be able to afford the New Jersey Nets.

 

funniest post in the thread!!

 

I feel so loved. Thank you.
