MB just had to come in from his morning constitutional to pull the plug.  Apparently he was blocked up, thus the delay.

You can't move forward if you're looking back. Goodbye Bengals.com, hello Bengalsboard.net!

I was just coming in to post, it's official.

Out with the old in with the new

I paid homage in the "If anyone is sad" thread in JN.

**** 'em......


......on to the next episode....

Onward and upward brothers (and what few sisters we may have).  Time to look forward, and I'm already digging this place, and I predict we'll be here long after facebook and twitter are gone.

Definitely. I have a feeling Facebook and Twitter will go the way of the MySpace sooner rather than later.

Here's to the new boards! 

Honestly, there were a lot of douchers on that board. Denny is at the top of the list but it goes on from there...

Looks like us members get the last laugh, 34 joined this board.

I think its going to be really important for us to monitor the numbers for the next few months. We need to bring people in just as much as we need to keep old members around. 

The board shall live on forever in my avatar....muhahahaha I will never log out.

that's a really good point. And one that if anyone has any ideas on, happy to hear them. For the kong term health if the board, we have to find some way to bring in new folks.

The new season and a good start usually brings a fresh crop of rooks.

They should have at least redirected the board to the main Bengals.com page, put up an advert, link to their social media stuff or something. Just having it go to a dead page is a major loss of traffic from all the search engine links and such that will remain on Google for some time as well as type in traffic, and people that had it bookmarked and missed the news of it closing. You don't just take down a site with that kind of history and put absolutely nothing there.
