They log on to check up with family and friends. That's why the Bengals FB and twitter feeds probably don't have any type of community going. More like random casual fans posting random casual posts. 

It's much easier to have in depth discussions here, where we may have 1000+ members, but only 200+ post regularly. Plus if you take the time to post in a place like this, chances are you are a passionate fan who knows the team in and out.

I've also learned a lot about the cap and other odds and ends. On the flip side, I think I'm a bit more argumentative here than I was in the beginning. Guess that's to be expected when you talk football with the same dudes for 5+ years.

For all its faults (including how badly it ended), the original message board is what brought almost everyone here together. I'm grateful for that. I've never had so much fun being so miserable.
