Boycott CBS!

[tpaulus_2]

It looks like CBS purposefully removed the boards and isn't planning on bringing them back. What gets me, though, is they did it completely without warning, which is completely unprofessional.

In response, please stop visiting their website and giving them hits. They depend on the hits for their revenue, so let's get a grass-roots boycott going to show them what a dick move that was. At the very least they could have given us a week's warning so we could have moved the whole group here, rather than hoping they find it on their own...

They sort of gave us a warning... telling us at some point to "save any dialogue you'd like to keep. Message boards will be erased" but they never said they were going to pull the plug on the entire thing we had used for 6-7 years altogether and not start a new one. They sort of made it sound like they were just redoing their message system. At least that's how I took it. More or less "spring cleaning" but oh no, they just abolished the whole thing. I will only go there to manage what's left of my fantasy teams and advise people on their "Discussion" boards to come here.

Testing 1 2 3. I didn't post much on CBS because it didn't work with my droidx. It hardly worked with my ipad. This seems to work just fine. Never goin' back.

I asked them why they did this,through the help desk, and they told me this is the result of a survey completed by fans. I asked them which fans............... Fans of the Russian Hockey league

The removal of the message boards coincided with the upgrades and general revamping of our site. Ultimately, we believed that the Community portion of the site wasn’t providing the best possible sports-related experience that our customers deserve. However, this decision does not preclude our message boards from returning in future site enhancements. We encourage our users to continue utilizing our site and submit feedback via our Help Center Site Feedback link. We look forward to hearing from you.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and as always, we appreciate your continued patronage with CBSSports.com.

I agree, Capt. I love talking shit with guys like yourself, RichieStamos, TomAngelRipper, RW1, WillieDog, etc. I'm really disappointed with the way they have killed off all the good parts of the site. Even the gametracker format has blown chunks since the start of the season. WTF are they doing over there!?!

Pricks!

Not yet. From the looks of things not much was going on here until C dumped on everyone.

 

[themuzzer]

I'm sure a few Tigers fans will make it here. Smitty will I'm sure, but there's some quality posters over there that will be missed. Adrian being one, I always took his opinion highly. Smart guy that never got sucked in.
