Interesting..... When they changed format, they really screwed the pooch..... They took something that worked relatively well (though it lacked any whistles and bells) and purchased a system that was unusable and didn't really have any interesting features. Maybe they never planned to keep them past a few years?

Entirely possible, but yes when they switched the format they fucked everything up. SportsHoopla has had an extreme amount of new sign ups today. I was gonna get on there and tell the Bengals people but have you even looked at the Bengals board lately? Not sure I want any of them here.

Yeah.... The times I've dared look over there I have regretted it.

It looks like the SportsHoopla Reds forum is starting to gain some momentum though.

Yeah the Reds forum has been going good. A lot of guys came over when CBS closed their forums down. They just did it over night without telling anyone they were.

Welcome sir. Few things you need to know.

1. Trolling will get you banned fast.

2. Kramer is an ass. But he is our ass.

3. Lots of cursing, name calling, Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis gifs and douchebagery happen here.

ESPN forums were the worst I have ever been on. No real moderating and more trolls than anything else. Complete waste of time. Good riddance.

Apparently ESPN is moving to the Facebook deal where you have to have an account to post anywhere, and they are also deleting the forums and moving those somewhere else. Got curious the other day when they started talking about the new FB requirment and clicked on the board and saw the note stating it would be deleted and moved somewhere else now.

First time I've been there in years.

all they really had to do was trust a few 'fans' to help run their stupid board.
