A place for BBF.com refugees?

[Really Lost One]

Welcome! I hate the L*kers, but isn't that the fun of hoops? I look forward to our two teams going at each other at the top of the West again.

Also, I really hope if they realign the divisions now that SEA is OKC. I'd love for us to be part of the Pacific again.

Yup. You guys have a great future ahead of you. Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Webster, Fernandez, Batum, etc etc. Should be a fun and interesting team to follow in the future. I'm looking forward to the Bynum and Oden duels next season, and hopefully we'll actually beat you guys on the road for once. Should be fun!

Then whoever's bumped out of the pacific... where do they go? since they're all on the coast.

Clippers should move out of LA. Actually, that move should've been made years ago.

or should have just been vetoed in the first place?

My vote is for Phoenix to move into the same division with Utah, Denver, San Antonio and Minnesota. Then the remainder could be in NO, Memphis, Dallas, Houston and OKC.

R-Star is awesome.

Probably one of the coolest forum goers I've ever encountered.

I haven't actively posted on BBF but when I was that guy was a joke. Anyone remember his sig? He has some gay shit where he'd list all his eFriends and then it had something like "we'll get your daughters." LOL c'mon.

And he didn't really know his Nets basketball either, but tried to pretend like he did.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't a Nets fan

Either way I don't think he's funny because of his basketball knowledge. He mostly posts in the EBB thread and is pretty witty and funny.

 

[gambitnut]

Great to see some more Blazer fans around here! Go Blazers! I also agree that, as long as they are respectful, I love seeing the opinions of the Blazers from fans of other teams.

 

[lukewarmplay]

Pegs, when did you become a rabble-rouser? And when did my old site start sucking like that? Does Seanet still post there? I always enjoyed his viewpoint, and watching him rile up NI.

 

[Denny Crane]

Tortimer, nice to see you! BTW, Basel57 banned me precisely because we got into a pissing match, so when he said I did something else, he was lying. He asked me to stop calling Kobe a rapist, and as I Blazer fan living in Colorado (who has seen the house his victim lives in, which you couldn't pay for on a concierge's salary), I asked him why I couldn't post my opinion about basketball's OJ Simpson. THAT's what got me banned.

FWIW, our rule here is that public figures are fair game.

Well yeah. But has anyone posted in one of the sports forums on bbf in the past 6 months? Million Post Thread / Political Economy were the only two non-shit forums. Even EBB I couldn't go to at the end anymore.

R-Star has a hot wife too. He was pretty cool. I think we may have been arch-nemesis at some point in that board, but not towards the end of BBF. It'd be nice if he posted here.

I think some people here may be confusing R-Star with Rawse. Rawse is the one who always gives infractions for the dumbest reasons.

I've always been a rabble-rouser!

It's too easy to break Knicks fans balls, though. All you have to do is tell the truth about something bad, and they get all pissy. Srsly.

It only started sucking after cpaw and petey left, and they assigned douche bags at mods. At that point, it went wild. They have the worst mods there, especially on the Knicks forum. Talk bad about the Knicks, even if it's the truth? Banned. Talk bad about the Nets? High five!

I think everyone misses Seanet. I don't see him around though. Maybe he gave up on message boards.

Rawse was the biggest douche bag. He barely knew anything about Memphis basketball, which was supposed to be his forte, I always owned him. He also knew absolutely nothing about Denver basketball, yet somehow figured out how to be a mod there.

 

[cpawfan]

Last I knew, SeaNet got married and got bored talking about the Nets.

 

[JCB]

Wow. SeaNet. Talk about a name from the past.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Hi guys, I got banned from there ages ago because I am something of a jerk. I joined this site the other night because I had a feeling after reading all the baloney that was going on over there that this would be the place to be.

In fact, maxiep is, wait I mean was one of my favorite posters on that OT board.

If you read all the new posts going on over there you will notice that they are starting to realize that they screwed up but can't quite admit it yet.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and look forward to the upcoming season. Can't wait, moved to Vegas a few years ago for my girlfriend's job though and gave up season tickets provided by her company! Good seats too. DAMN

Guess I will have to settle for 4th row UNLV football tickets...yeah, that is just as good

Did you enjoy the game last night?

 

[bodyman5001]

Did you enjoy the game last night?

If it was a home game, we gave the tickets away already.

I like going when it gets colder, going to see them play in October and November. Plus, for some reason we didn't get passes to the free food and booze like last year

Does sound like it was a good game, I hope they keep getting better.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Close game against a ranked PAC-10 team, and they won -- so yeah it sounded good. My in laws have FB and BB tickets.

 

[maxiep]

Woo Hoo!

The next time I'm in Avon, I'll have my buddy show me her place again and take a photo of it. It has to be worth almost $2MM.

Seanet? Is that the same guy that posted in the Nets forum at nj.com? He was fun to chat hoops with. I remember when Thorn tried to re-trade the Shareef Abdur-Rahim deal, I used to go over there all the time and complain about his negotiating tactics. Seanet always had nice insight. Besides, I was born in NJ and that's where most of my family lives so I always like to talk Jersey.

That is the same guy

 

[Dumpy]

Seanet became more and more radical and argumentative--and angry at the world--as time went by. He was once fun to chat with, but he just became annoying.

 

[GMJ]

Brings back memories

 

[zєяσ]

I miss good ole seanet. We are stuck with pegs now. :<

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Seanet was hilarious. That dirk on exercise ball avatar will forever remain a classic in my mind.

I have bb tickets too. I like the basketball better, I really can't believe they get as many players as they do for football. It is sooooooooo hot here when they are in season.

That's ridiculous I have seen many Blazers posters posting the same thing about Kobe and never got banned. Like you said that isn't what the mods are saying but it makes since from Basel57.

It is getting bad on the BBF forum. They are even modifing my PM's. Lucky I read them before they modified them.

I was going to say as a former Admin at that site I won't beleive they would do such a thing. But I see Reep accused them of such and the thread was closed with no reply.

I guess times have changed.

It's funny in ways too. Maybe they don't give you guys enough credit? I remember that a lot of their Blazers board knew each other in 'real life', through O-Live, and I'd guess email or instant messenger. Do they really think it would be hard for others to find out what happened to ABM or maxiep? Seems almost pretty silly to me.

Anyway as noted, glad to have you guys aboard. I enjoyed my time with a great bunch of you guys.

Basil57's explanation of why maxiep was banned...

I banned him. It was originally a 5-day ban, but was changed to a permanent ban, and here's why: obviously there was a lot of ruckus involving why the political threads were moved to the PE forum. I closed one of the threads that had a ton of discussion (as I was asked to) and told them that if they had any further issues about what happened, to PM a Community Mod or Admin. maxiep didn't want to listen, and kept creating new topics. I gave him an infraction, and warned him to stop or it would result in a ban. He didn't stop and kept creating new threads, this time about Kobe Bryant raping women, which was an obvious attempt to try and get under my skin. I deleted those threads and banned him for 5 days; however, he created a new username that same night and started posting under it, which is a direct violation of the TOS (ban evasion). That ALWAYS results in a permanent ban; I don't care who you are on this board. So I banned his new username, and changed the ban on his "maxiep" username to permanent. I really didn't want to as I don't want members leaving, but it had to be done. I know some members disagree with it, but it's over with and he's gone.

Hope that explained it for you.
