Eventually, I'll lure some more folks this way.

Am I wrong? Seriously, is this a bad thing to do, bad form , and/or unethical in any way?

They still make me mad over there. Hrumpff! :pimp:
 
So, you're either MGB or the other guy.

They'll never suspect.

It seems childish to still be bitching about whatever happened.
 
Good screen name.

Something about it seems familiar.
 
Short-lived. :cheers:

Yeah. Well deserved, though. I was the key insurrectionist. :pimp:

Meh. At least you actually spammed before being banned. KAS banned me for what he deemed 'spammatory douchebaggery', when I made zero personal attacks toward anyone and didn't spam one bit.


Then he lied about it to the whole forum.
 
Pretty sure I can still login to my account at BBF, but I was sending lots of PMs directing people here (I started one of the big threads causing a second wave of migration) and am limited to sending one PM (to one recipient) every 5 minutes.

Join the club. All it took from me were some jabs at Kobe. Basel doesn't like being questioned about his decisions.

I have multiple monikers on BBF.com I tried before "maxiep" took hold and an IP masking program for my job, so I could go there and post any time I wanted. The point is, it just isn't worth it anymore. I've never seen such a clean job of virtual seppuku as was done by the idiots over at BBF.com.

Could someone tell me what happened there and why we left?

This is the order of events as I saw them:

1. They shut down political OT threads without warning or consultation.
2. Complaints in threads resulted in deleted/locked threads.
3. ABM sent out a PM to people saying that Sportstwo.com would be an alternative place to discuss basketball and other stuff
4. ABM sent it out to many Blazers regulars and included others, including an admin from the site
5. ABM was banned
6. maxiep continued to complain and was continued to be shut down by Community Mods who (a) didn't know anything about the Blazers community, and (b) were acting like the relative children that they are
7. maxiep made a statement (or four) about Kobe and was banned by a CM, who was a Lakers fan
8. Several of us indicated that BBF was going to drive the Blazers' fans away through piss-poor communication and entirely snobby/out-of-touch moderation
9. Some people left BBF, some people planned on waiting and seeing
10. S2 is superior from a technical perspective and had more lax rules, which seem to fit the style of many of us better
11. Eventually everyone landed here. mgb moderates there and posts here. sa177 is still a CM over there and I dunno if he's here. BBF Blazers board is a ghost town and, given the Blazers board had about as many posts as all the other Western Conference teams combined when we left, I would imagine the board as a whole has taken a significant dip.

The only thing I'd add to your list, Ed, is that some of the moderators arguing the administration side of things turned insulting and dismissive. For a lot of the wait-and-see people (me included) that was the turning point. I always felt there were two legitimate sides to the issue, but when the side tasked with resolving problems starts saying, "Fuck you whiners. If you don't like it, leave," leaving seems like the correct course of action. Obviously, all the moderators weren't doing that and also there were people on the "Blazers community" side that turned aggressive, but ultimately I felt the administration side of things went nuclear first.
 
I tend to have a problem with people who take power too seriously. They should have let their blazer mods take care of it, but they brought in guys like Rawse (Cinco De Mayo) and Basel, so things spun out of control. The internet is bad enough with people trying to act tough, but that was ridiculous.
 
then they said it didnt matter if we stayed or left - so everyone left.

it had been shit since VS took over anyways.. BBB.net was way better from a fan point of view.

still, when you mix shitty advertising with shitty patronizing mods you're bound to run into issues at some point - the thing is there were many other places to talk blazer ball and it is the posters that matter really, not the forum - something they never realised....
 
Mods dared us to leave . . . so we did.

Almost a Darius type situation . . . only on the internet forum level. :D
