Hello my fellow fans...I am here seeking refuge from the "upgrade" that fell like an anvil upon our heads. Have yet to get into the posts...but I'm STOKED to be here.

Let's party.

Much like my attitude towards Randy Moss retiring: good riddance. There were a bunch of things about ESPN that bugged me.

Too true! Just out of curiosity, I took a peep into the old board (forgive me Father for I have sinned :)) and I wasn't surprised to see that all the threads that are left over are about Alex bashing or somehow linked to Smith in some shape or form. Truly ... good riddance!

I've been checking in a few times, after being there 7 yrs I cant just go cold turkey. Still looks like crap and ton of good posters are gone. Basically its a shit hole now. Hopefully all the good posters made the jump and no one got left behind.

At some point in the near future, the trolls are going to get tired of their act and will end up leaving as well. That will probably be the demise of that board then!

I think pretty much all the good posters have made their way over, though not all have been posting regularly (NC, imac and some others). Can't wait for the game thread this Friday ... a troll free game thread at that! :thumb:

I'm not to sure the trolls will ever leave. I think they will satisfy each other enough to stick around. New people who aren't familiar with them will walk into their traps and feed them too.

To steal your phrase; after all those years of trolling, they won't be able to quit cold turkey either. They'll certainly try to come here, I wouldn't be surprised if they think they chased us off ESPN.

Not to mention, the old format was still generations behind this one. Good riddance!

They better do something! Anyone else notice where SportsHoopla is for sports message boards on Google?

Not bad for 20 months.

From what I've read, they are moving forward no matter what. I am guessing it is because that format is more like facebook and probably easier to turn into an iPhone app.

It would be interesting to see some data on how many users they lost as a result of this "upgrade" I bet they saw some serious blood bath!
