    One of the community moderators over there always had a problem with the success that my blog was having, getting linked by BlogaBull, Slam, AOL Sports, etc. so he always threw a massive hissy fit whenever someone posted a link to it.

    So then they decided to launch their own "featured blog" things, obviously trying to target me, to get the content from my site posted on their site. I didn't jump at that opportunity. They suspend me for no reason other than that (or their reason...for a post in a random thought type of thread, about how the moderators used a double standard in giving out warnings based on race...haha).

    So I go over to another message board, and start posting there some. That one community moderator trolls me over to that site.

    That was just absolutely pathetic.

    I always think that a site is only as good as, as many sites they are willing to link to. Like in bbb.net, in our hayday on the Bulls forum, there was no problem posting links to RealGM, while RealGM had a problem having links posted to bbb.net (and even that, had probably more to do with the massive spamming of their boards for the start of bbb.net). Now basketballforum, if you post a link to any sports site with a forum, they remove the link and just leave the content there (aka stealing content without attribution, which is shady in its own right). That is the mark that your site sucks, when you are too afraid of people leaving it if you have a link to another sports site.

    That community moderator trolling to another board, that was horrible though, and that was my last straw with that pathetic site.

    Also, can I get a name change? Something to do with Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Andres Nocioni, and Thabo Sefolosha with a little bit of Omer Asik thrown in. Be creative.

    I loved that place because the moderators in the Portland forum (or that douche Dan) were like the chicks from the view if they were all on their periods at the same time. Even like Barbara Walters if she had a period in the last 100 years.

    Re: Basketballforum.com, what a joke.

    Thanks.

    That username has a rolls off the tongue nicely...but declaring Thabo a bust, even though I think he will probably end up that, is a little premature.

    How about Ben Slotho Dengalosha

    Of course, we may have to change it in a few weeks depending on how the Gordon situation pans out.

    You can't have the user name "DaBullz." It's mine.

    Re: Basketballforum.com, what a joke.

    You know, I assume, that most of the Nets forum at BBF.com migrated here about a year ago and haven't looked back.
