    BBF.com is going through one of their usual hissy fits and are shutting down any questioning of the moderators. There's been talk that this may be the best place to end up.

    Is there any chance of setting up an off-topic Blazer subforum where all reasonable subjects can be discussed with other Blazer fans? That's what the disgruntled folks at BBF.com seem to be angry with at the moment.

    Do you have a snazzy title that you'd like to call the OT forum like Rose Garden?

    I'll get an OT forum up for you in short order

    Welcome to S2 Maxie. Are you a Portland local? If you have any questions about S2, feel free to shoot me a PM.

    I'll let others more clever than I give it a name. For now, the Blazer Off-Topic Forum would be fine. If you could set it up as a sub-forum to this one, that would be great.

    I grew up in Portland and currently have a house there that's unfortunately a well-organized storage unit with a mortgage. I'm supposed to spend half the year in PDX, but work has kept me in Denver, CO for the majority of the past four years.

    Welcome to S2 maxiep. I see Cpawfan has already setup a OT forum. It's not an issue as other team forums have them as well. Be nice seeing some of you guys again. I know it's been a while since I've had the chance to talk to post with some of you guys.

    I usually don't post around the Blazers forum, but I'll make an exception :)

    I know what you're talking about. The BBF admins are assholes, and nothing that they do is wrong ;)

    It's funny how BBF has turned into a place where the least amount of negativity in a post leads to being called a troll and getting countless infractions, that lead to complaining of the mods, which leads to moooore infractions.

    I would say that this is probably the best place to go, as I haven't seen much better. There's a bunch of pros from BBF that I (and maybe yourself) am used to, such as Petey and Cpaw. A few admins from JustBasketBall, which merged with this site, are great posters and great admins. The basketball forums are pretty money here.

    Yes, we win!!!

    Seriously. No PMs from the GMs, Admins, or Mods when requested, or when you PM them. Can't post in threads about infractions. Can't edit threads that were edited, asking for reasoning (or face a ban. WTF?).

    Yeah, at least all admins, gms, mods here PM you back. And talk to you.

    At BBF...

    God forbid, you say you like a mod, and you get banned ;)

    Seriously though, if you say Stephon Marbury and Patrick Ewing Jr., you don't questioned, you simply get banned. WTF

    I never get infractions over there (except for when I told some prick to kill himself). I'm an artist at that. ;)




    What did maxiep get banned for anyway I wonder?

    Yeah, I saw what you posted. About as bad as anything as I did, really.

    "nope he's a troll because he is a troll"

    That's what constitutes as mod material on BBF.

    Both of you need to bounce on down to the Knicks forum over there and see what retards I'm making out of TwinkieFoot and Da Grinch.

    Yeah, it's hilarious. I'd back you up, but I'm still banned (though I contacted KAS over here. He told me to talk to him over there. Even though I'm banned).
