We owe a big thanks to Bengalholic and others who are moderators/administrators of this forum.  Use this thread to show them love

No doubt brother. Thanks to Holic and everyone else that saved our asses!

Then I remembered during one of those days years ago, the official Bengal Forum was closed.  I clicked on the link it received and error.  I freaked.  Then Holic said he was going to start a forum.  I don't recall how I got the message.  Maybe he stalks fans.  I D K.  When I joined I recognized some names but not all. Now it is home!  

The announcement for this board opening was a thread on the old board...after the news that they would be closing, and I think it was 34 that put some kind of announcement at the top of the site to help let people know. 

If I remember right, we even started the selection of our admins and mods in a thread on the old board.

Yeah, that is how i got here. Damn, scared the hell out of me for a second. Must really suck for those that never found this place.

It is much better than the old one, great job Holic and to all.

Our Bengals might be going down the tubes, especially if we lose Whit but i always will be a Bengal fan and love talking to you guys.

Yes, that is correct.

I had to drop being a mod due to the things they asked of me to initiate. They were...horrifying

Yes, thank you Bengaholic. This board is even better than the original.

Judging how the forum has improved over the months, I would say they succeeded in convincing someone to due similar things...

My anus was never the same

You guys are great people here. I agree on that totally.

I can only guess that 34 did not survive initiation process

He's been around here and there sparingly, and was the second member of this board's HOF after CamCat. :andy:

Bureaucracy

At first I was pretty ticked the Bengals shut down their message board. In some ways I still am considering they are a billion plus dollar organization that makes their money off of the NFL and their own fans. It was petty on their part and what I see as them being thin skinned. In some ways it is just another example of the kind of organization of the team we are all fans o.

But now in hindsight if they didnt shut it down, this board wouldnt exist. A board that is definitely better overall. This board seems to be more real with no major biases like the other one could have had from a couple of the mods there. And credit should be given to where it is due, so thanks Holic for starting up this community. And thanks to the mods here for keeping up the good work.

ps just send me a pm for an address for that check to be sent to. thx.

Couldn't agree more.  Awesome site with awesome people.  The Bengals Closing the forum was rough and to be honest I miss it, but this is an awesome for everyone.
