BF4L appears to be longest poster here
YankeeRebel is apparently the newest

I came from ESPN board when they rolled out robustness and then threw away the board.
Who did I miss?
There have been many others but most did not survive the banhammer - especially loyal Pats fans during the Hammerdown times
There were

I don't know how to spell his name.
He has De Niro as his avatar.

The banhammer?

I floundered a bit after CBS closed their forums before finding this place.

Doubledown? I think he is relocated.....
Banhammer is what getting banned is commonly called
Seems like there are moe CBS guys here than from anwhere else.
Again, there were a lot more guys and a few girls here that could not deal with Hammerdown. Some very good posters.

 

[Carnzo]

I came over when the Sports Illustrated Fan Nation went under. This place is way better than that one.

Yep, time flies.

Was at CBS for years, there was a good group of Pats fans way back then. Moved to ESPN when CBS became Ann Landers type site

Stayed with ESPN until it started with the Facebook crap when most fans dumped that site.

Now 10 years here, wow … time does fly.

Very good group of Pats fans here in the hoop, and many from other teams as well.

Cheers to all! am optimistic about this season, believe there will be improvement all around and the team will for starters compete for div crown, regardless of all the Bills and Dolphins hype.

I was a pain in the ass over there for about eight or nine years too.

Came over from KFFL. Lots of good posters there.

 

[Debbie Does]

I came from FanNation when they shut us down. So did @Dolemite censored and @Sir Robin Of Camelot, under a different name now. @Catwoman and @Center Ice , too. We've lost some because they faded away and a few (@lady coach belicat) bacause they're not with us anymore.

On an older forum, I've lost friends from Covid. Take care of yourselves.

I think the issue with doubledown was about double poster identity with handicappers. Don’t know if that is true, but apparently they got busted for that … he was fun.

I was here before some asshole MOD banned me because he/she could not see they were wrong about specific subject matter. Can't remember what the name was but it seems like they are gone or stripped of MOD powers

Hammerdown had not gotten over giving up his San Diego fan card after the Patriots beat them in the playoffs.
Patriots danced on the San Diego logo at center of field and I rubbed his nose in it continually.
The 59-0 game against Titans was just an embarrassment!

There were some unjustified bans for a period.
For awhile the mods had their hands full and I think they were overwhelmed.

We have been very slow to ban people here recently and everybody gets fair warning.
Most people ban themselves, actually. Deliberately breaking rules after being given a fair chance.
Kudos to current set of mods

 

[Irishcoolzombie]

I came over from CBS as well, once they closed down their boards. Used to have some good times arguing with some Jets fans. Specifically Insult PHD and Farmer Ted.

Hammer and I had more than a few words. He took me off line one day and we had a discussion about a bunch of different things. From that point on, we never had cross words and I almost bought the Hoop. Swaggy got it and has done a much better job than I could ever do. He's pretty much given the mods control but makes the final decision. I have nothing but the utmost respect for what he's done to make this board a place where people can vent and discuss anything. He's pretty much told the mods not to get emotionally involved in any thread and they've had to zip it yet keep control of the thread.

They've canned guys and they've given all of them constant warnings about taking things over the line. Especially in the Politics Forum. It's the old saying, "Give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself." The Mods have actually spliced the rope for more than a couple of posters in here and they've still made their own nooses.

Ever notice how quick the insulters stop with the personal attacks on others? I've never gotten a warning but I had one shared with me by a guy who got one. It wasn't nasty or mean. Just simply said, "You crossed the line. Next time, you get a three day suspension. There will be no third warning." The remark he made was at the top of the warning. Great job by the mod and it worked.

I forgot how much fun that was. Those go arounds were hilarious. Thanks for the memories @I.

Yep, the Facebook thing with ESPN was what did it for me.

As George Clooney once said:


“I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page,”
