Smooth transition. We were all bummed when the old board closed, but we never missed a beat. Crazy that some of yall I've been going back and forth with for nearly 10 years (probably a little more). Yall family!
Are we done with the circle jerk, yet? Can we get back to discussing the reason we're all here; BENGALS MOTHER EFFING FOOTBALL!!

I go thru spurts where imon here. Then disappear for awhile.
Really busy but love talking to you guys and draft time is an obsession foe me.
Its always been nice to share that with you guys, and this forum is so much better than the old one.
II'm so proud of you guys for making it into what it has become. It was awesome since the first day you started it, and has only gotten better.
At a time when Facebook has become too political id rather spend my time on here shooting the breeze with you. I think you will see me on here a little bit morethis season.
Once again great frickin job and I take this shot of whiskey for you and 3 years of success, as well as hopefully decades more. SALUTE
I remember when we asked a certain mod from the old boards if he wanted to join, he smugly said that there was only one "true" board, and implied that any future board would struggle, since it wouldn't be official. He declined the offer. Welp, 3 years later...
Not even being cheesy, but it really does take all of us to keep the boards going. Even Fred.
So thanks to all of you.

What's not to love about a guy who wouldn't take no for an answer and then didn't just replace it but destroyed it, made it a forgotten ghost?
The old board to this is like pee wee football to the NFL.

There always has to be a Fred. As Freds go, ours ain't bad.
Seems pretty damned official to me and even if it ain't, that doesn't stop it from being the best board in the land. On second thought, maybe NOT being official is the key its greatness.

As I do every year around this time, I just want to express my appreciation to the community here. You guys have truly made it a great place to talk Bengals football and a wide range of other topics.
When we started this thing back in 2015, I had no real idea how it would turn out...but I knew we had a great member community and an outstanding staff...so I was very hopeful.
It's very cool to see what the board has grown into and how established it has become. So. once again - thanks to each and every member who helps make this such an entertaining and informative community...and to the staff members who put in so much time and effort to make things run so smoothly.
Here's to many more years...
Cheers, BJ

Congrats to you and all the mods who made this such a great community for us Bengal fans to share our joy/grief with one another. You guys are doing an amazing job...
and I might add a big FU to DennyG who said when you opened this it would never last...it did and it does it better than the original Bengal board by leaps and bounds.

That was a little friendly ribbing. I like having Fred around.
And I agree...it's the no-so-official part that makes this place great.

I am always on the side of ribbing Fred. I knew it was friendly.

Created by the fans for the fans.

Great job to all of those who created and continue to keep the board running and legit!
