OT: BBF Ad

[DaRizzle]

oh good lord, no more BBF bullshit please. put your e-peen's away guys )

save the drama for tomorrow night

+1 lets stop this

Brian, if you search the POR boards for "BBF" in the title you will find a shitload about it

The move happened in Sept 08 so start there

 

[PapaG]

nope. he couldn't handle the heat. he specifically went all apeshit on me for no reason, unprovoked.

That's the truth, no matter the spin we see these days to cover up H**'s meltdown. I like how people who weren't even involved try to say you're lying, ADP. Bad form, Minstrel, and the original meltdown was 100% due to criticizing Obama by posting many negative threads about him in the OT forum.

 

[Minstrel]

Ouch. lol. Did you come from there too?

Yup. Most of us did. And many of us had moved en masse in 2002 to BBF from a previous forum (FanHome).

We're a roving community.

Good find BTOWN...end thread

 

[Tyler_Hansbrough]

nope. the portland section of the forum is basically empty because you all left, but i'd say bbf as a whole doesn't really miss you at all.

yeah sure. They don't miss thousands of posts a month. Riiiight.

I got the add too.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

i can't believe you guys registered on there with a real email address you check.

Meh

I actually changed my default email while being a member there.

 

[Tyler_Hansbrough]

Is that the site where most people here came from cause the Mods went crazy there?

yeah, the mods were absolutely ridiculous there. and so is this rocketeer chump

 

[rocketeer]

Thanks for the info ADP and Rizzle, I'm glad the breakup at O-live was more amicable lol

BBF seems pretty active.

Although it has to hurt them, not only losing the Blazers forum, but also losing the Nets and Bulls forums, both of which were larger than the Blazers forum over there. That site's problem is that they are too much about promoting their moderators, and not about the posters in general. Worse than realgm. A site like bullspodcaters has it right, by having no moderators, and the admins in the background, conversing, and not running the site like they're the king and everyone there is their slaves.

 

[Wheels]

that site sucks by the way.

 

[Reep]

I was speaking of the large Blazer contingent that used to be there.

In the Blazer forum right now, there are a total of zero members, six guests and three mods--the night before the draft!

0/6/3

Currently, this forum has 49/53/3 (I guess we need more mods)

Hey Wheels, can you imagine the entire olive community moving from site to site like nomads? I see a couple from there here, but most still post there as well, myself included.

I posted as RiggoDrill on O-Live pretty regularly (maxiep was killed in an unfortunate foray into the mlive.com Pistons forum), then most of the people I liked to coverse with either went to other sites or stopped posting altogether. With the new delay in posting there, I'd love it if the decent posters moved over here. As for the amehl's of the world, I'm glad they're in my rearview mirror.

 

[Furball]

I miss the old douche bag Hap. What ever happened to that guy? Prozac?

That would be cool, I miss you guys like SPD, and Lanny, Reduni.. etc (sorry cant fit all you guys in this thread) I post there once in a while just to say hi, but its still super difficult at work for me to follow a conversation, its too slow paced with the log. Try and get peeps over here.. I miss those guys!

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

I was the evil mod over there! Hell, I still am!

Not many posters to push around any more though.

The Bulls and Nets forums were not bigger than the Blazers forums. Sorry.

I agree, though, that losing their three biggest team-related forums really has to hurt. They have a reasonably strong general NBA fan base, seemingly, but they really isolated and drove off the Bulls, Nets, and Blazers fans pretty ridiculously.

One of their key issues, I think, is the quality of some of their moderators. Some of the people that were greens over there when the Blazers' exodus took place clearly had emotional immaturity issues and didn't respect posters that had more experience online and in real life than they did. It was a bad job of promoting the wrong people and, at least in the case of the Blazers community, it cost them thousands of posts and tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of page views.

And Basel continues to climb the ranks. It's laughable.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Rocketeer,
More page views/visitors to their site = more $ they can charge for the ads on the site. If money doesnt matter to them, then sure, I guess they dont miss us.

 

[44Thrilla]

I'm just glad you all ended up here, regardless of how it happened.

 

[oldguy]

I used to post on O-live eons ago.

There are quite a few poster here that were at O-live back in the mid-late 90's, when the fake Laker Lanny ruined the place. I never went back.
