The site is better than it ever was. Lots of humour, great threads, good, solid discussion. Adipost has brought the site to new heights, and The Purge has been successful at rejuvenating a dying forum. Our leader should be applauded for his even handed, non personal choices for culling.

Well done! Best forums eva!

Have to disagree here. Site hasn't been this dead since I have been a member. Sure, things slow down a bit during the offseason but not like it has been. The amount of regular posters that have been banned has definitely had a negative effect on the board. There is less activity, discussion and reason to post on a daily basis.

Free HHM, Urblock, Grimson and all the others. Let Hawk and Number51 back into B&I. Mistakes made at midnight on Sat night should be forgiven. Everyone deserves a third chance and I am a fucking republican:)

Overall...

I genuinely dont know.

There have been several long-time posters sent packing for who knows what. I don't keep a comprehensive list, but Ole/Tardigrade is one that sticks out that I found to be pretty curious. Hehateme was around forever and was generally good shit. Lancestone, although he did cross the line a few times. Looks like Xuder and Adipost just joined them.

Yeah it would be nice to have those posters back. I have said as much in the past but at this point I have simply lost interest in the site for the most part. I check in here and there but certainly not as frequently. Those in charge of this site clearly lack business sense as the posters they have banned drove traffic to the site and increased posts on a daily basis.

It sounds like some good "thought provoking" posters have left/been banned, which would naturally result in a decrease of good threads/discussion but is it possible that any of the lower activity is due to the team being pretty bad for a couple of years now? Or, should there be an increase in activity due to some hope with the latest draft class/free agents? I'm just curious if that's being considered.. I could be completely off-base.

Honestly the Bears have been trash for years so I don't think that's the reason. The board wasn't active because the Bears were a good team and I don't think its become less active due to them being slightly more shitty. I think it has to do more with the most active and entertaining posters were shown the door and a lot of other regulars have been turned off as a result.

I think, maybe, Ole and I were the most senior non-mod regular posters here. As in, I think are/were original posters on this message board. Him being gone is amazingly shitty. If Jamais Vu is indeed perma, that goes right up there.

botfly asked to be banned, so did Urblock (to be more accurate, both of them threatened to flood the site with whatever nonsense until they were banned and started). Jamais was account sharing, which is fully automated(as in the script that catches it follows policies). Ommy, well some(actually, a lot of people) of you were reporting him for his constant rule #1 violations, so that should be obvious. Ole stalked and taunted a staff member for over a year, but I bet he's acting like some martyr now. NorCal just baited people into flamewars and was warned many times. Also, sometimes people just want their accounts removed or suspended for whatever reason and make a polite request.

Please read the site rules and guidelines. All you need to ask is, has so and so violated these rules repeatedly, then you know the answer. Nobody gets banned for no reason. Anyone who claims they have been is full of crap.

This copy of the rules is from 2015. It's just a modified version of the rules from 2011, which all users banned had repeatedly violated with the exception of spam. Spam is mostly automated now.

People get mad if I respond in these posts. And they get mad if nobody gives them an answer. For future reference, just use PM. Airing our laundry is not everyone's business.

Sincerely,
Crys
