    I already stopped posting at this place a few weeks back, but I always browse just for the heck of it. And I've got to say, not even telling your members about such a big move. What were you honestly thinking (Admins?) RIP BBW

    And to think, all these loyal members, all the time they've given, especially BCB. Wow, what a lame way to go out.

    Would there be any way to go back to the old BBW? That may be the only way to save it.

    Everybody hates change but I don't understand why you can't even give it a chance. We can't make you stay but we are here if you guys change your minds.

    I'm really trying to understand where this sort of sentiment is coming from.</p>

    I mean, I do get that it won't be exactly the same and that might bother some people, and I get at the moment it looks very slow. But that's all very fixable and it's being worked on. I can understand why you'd be pissed at the unannounced move in general. No warning or anything ahead of time was a mistake, as we've said, and even when there is warning, it's just the plain truth of the matter that moving sucks, even on the net. I've been posting on sports boards for jeez... probably 8 or 9 years, and I've been through 5 or 6 pretty major moves (Chicago Trib, World Crossing, RealGM, FanHome, bbb.net, you name it, I've posted there). Lots of those boards were/are decent places, but at some point other places looked better. And no place is ever the same.</p>

    So I get that. </p>

    What I don't get is the "no matter what you do it's going to suck and we won't like it" feeling. Well, maybe, but obviously we're here trying to address your concerns. If it breaks down to "I just don't want to be here no matter what", well yeah, I guess the right thing is to leave.But, if you're going to go somewhere else it'l be different there too. I can't speak for whether it'll be better or worse in your all's opinion, but I know for a fact we're willing to work hard to make this place great for you. That's the whole reason we bought bbw.us in the first place. So to me, I can see why you'd be pissed at the change, but nobody is going to work harder than us to make you feel comfortable. </p>

    So give us a shot, and better yet, give us some meaningful contributions. If something sucks, we're all ears about fixing it. If you see people talking about something interesting, post in it. Maybe you'll ind it's pretty good once the shock wears off. </p>

    It seems like you guys wasted a ton of money and I'm sorry for that. Next time I think it would be better to ask someone to start a thread and ask the site before buying it. :-/

    I feel bad for the Admins here, trying to make it all work out, but this move was just too much, and I know it may not be fair, but people don't like change, especially when nothing was said about it beforehand. And I'm talking about NFLCentral.net. Is it now just a category at BBW? Oris it still it's own board somewhere?

    This site is rubbish. I guess I just wasnt expecting change.</p>

    So is Combs gonna buy a new car or something with all that money or something? What an asshole.</p>

    LazyDazy2 is the screen name. If any of you guys want to keep in touch or if anything new happens(A new site or whatever)</p>

    Someone should just make a free temporary invisionfree board</p>

    There is a lot of negaitivity around this. Have most of you guys even spent more then a day at this site? This is not some crappy sports forum, nearly every mod and admin here has had a ton of experience with some major sites and we are all coming together to make our own. I can guarantee that you will not find a site with a more unique and flexiblelayout than this one. If you wish to leave the site, then that is fine, but I dont see the need to trash this site or post derogatory remarks.
