Since Mike Brown is the root of all evil, I blame him.

Good to be back! Yeah, the boards were shut down to hush the criticism....just my opinion.

I'm guessing that management didn't like the ability of the fans to harp on negative stuff. It makes no sense as to why it was shut down. I would bet that they think Twitter and Facebook are much easier to control as far as content goes.

I don't know the reason for the shutdown of the old board, but I thank those who worked on setting up this new board. I'm feeling better already.

I haven't been able to get on the Bengals.com boards since before the draft due to my current location. They wouldn't accept my IP address. So my question is, did it get anymore negative than usual? There's always been negativity.

All we wanted was a better product on the field. That's all. Sure, there was bantering at times against rival teams, and yet they were accepted into the board community with no malice. And that's what it became - a community. Not just a narrow-minded fan board like the rest.

I tried to quote Bonnie Bengal, but couldn't. Now I can't even delete it.
Anyway, my comment was I didn't notice any unusual negativity except for the thread about the cheerleaders pics on Bengals.com. That thread was exceptionally brutal. My thought after reading that thread was; "Damn, I bet this pisses somebody off"...
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...

Agree, honestly I lost interest in viewing the bengals.com page overall so it's nice to see a place exists now where we can have open Bengals talk.

I could see it being the cheerleader thread...whoever is responsible for taking those pics deserves the blame. But whatever, this place will do just fine.

Denny basically became just a character account. 34 wasn't around as much anymore. Even TBT and CIN didn't show up as much as you'd expect a mod to do. That's not a knock on them. They seemed burnt out before even taking on the extra responsibilities.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Shutting down the message board allows Mike to put a generous down payment on a newer, lower mileage Chevy Lumina. It's Christmas in May!
