Looking at the poll, I'm shocked at how many people went there for news at all. I get my updates from theScore's app, and my rumors from the boards. If I wanted a ridiculous spin on some news I heard about several hours ago, I would just search for a Denny post. It's been a couple years since I visited the Bengals' main page on purpose.

How do I rep somebody?

I won't go there much anymore. The main page was basically a stop on my way to the boards. Now that the Bengals have dumped all of us, not much reason to go there.

Thank you Bonnie. 5 for you.

I voted yes because I'm sure I'll pop in there from time to time to look at roster or whatever like that but I'm also sure my visits will be few a far between.

Just for kicks...

I have every last post in JN currently (on page 1).

I already removed it from my bookmarks. Not that it was useful anyways besides some cool interviews I'm done with giving them any traffic after this bs

I will go but more for the interviews then Hobs articles.

To get to those boards, I type in boards.bengals.com. I have been completely bypassing the homepage for years now. Occasionally, I'll check out the front page news, but I usually would get it from a corresponding post about the article in Jungle Noise.

I might visit it more now though....

Ill go to watch the videos. I normally don't go to read Hobspin unless im really bored.

I am sure this has been said, but if you visit the team site after being spurned then you are part of the problem and not part of the solution. It is like going back to a restaurant after they gave you a lousy meal, going back to a partner after being cheated on, going back to the hotel where you got bed bugs, going back to the pool where you got pink eye or crotch rot (sometimes the same name for the same condition, but technically two different conditions), etc. Extending the concept, if you buy merchandise, you are basically saying, "pee in my face and I will still give you my money." Now I realize, for some of you freaks having your face peed on is a turn on you would gladly pay for. If that is you, then it is like you paid your money to get peed on and did not get peed on but you still bought a souvenir on the way out.

Perhaps the point has not been made yet, so let me go ahead and say, "Yes, I am pretty bitter about how I was treated at the mother ship." Thank the heavens I have DP as a role model for how to move on.

Never really went to the main page for "news", usually just to check roster, depth chart, etc. Now, I'll likely go out of my way to get all the info from other sources.

I never really went to Bengals.com to begin with. Sometimes I would check out their videos on rookie introductions or post game stuff, but that was very rare I probably haven't done that in a few years either.

Nope. Not very often. There won't really be any need to go there.

Nope, I have no desire to visit that site anymore.
Only time I will visit is if someone posts an interesting link to it. Otherwise screw them. Less traffic = less potential sales.

One of the things I liked about our message board was that it tipped me off to stories of Bengal interest from all over. And it did it right away because of our members wide ranging search for Bengal stuff. That will now be here, so I'm sure my page views at the Bengal site will be a declining number.

I can't believe that's what they want.

Only went there for the message board. Now, favorited this.

I did check out the Hobson's choice articles sometimes, just to see how he'd put a positive spin on the tough questions he was getting.

I won't even be doing that now. Maybe I'm bitter, but I hope that site goes the way of the dodo now. It'd serve them right.

My sentiments exactly, and that's no waffle! I visited the site for the community, I leave with the community.

But, but,, but... HOBSPIN is our pal, our buddy.. He tells us like it is! Hobspin tells us how reverent the guys are right after they get arrested for whatever.. He tells us how much Mikey LOVES US and wants to give back to the community! He tells us about the players who love Cincinnati so much they start foundations in Alabama! Geoff tells us about how great it is to be a New England fan and have a job telling us how wonderful it is to be a Bengals fan and what else could any citizen of the great city of Cincinnati want from the voice of your home town? By God you should build a monument to Geoff Hobson of solid GOLD right on Fountain Square and desicate it to the loving memory of Mikey! Mikey pays his salary after all!
