The new board went live on May 11th, and one month later...things seem to be going very well.
I just wanted to take a minute to say a big THANK YOU to everyone.
WhoDeyWho joined very early and became our webmaster, and has done a great job! Benton, Bengal Dude, Shake, Eoxyod and Belsnickel all stepped up to give us an admin/mod staff, and have done one helluva job.
But, even more important was all of the members that came over, even before the old board closed...in order to re-form the community here, and make sure that it lived on and stayed together. What was funny, and very cool...was that when I announced the board was up and could be viewed on the 11th, I asked that people not start posting until the next day, because I was still setting things up. But...many of the one's who signed up that first day, said "screw that" and immediately jumped in and went to work...making threads, posting, and helping each other figure out the features and so forth!
So again, just want to say thanks and let you know I appreciates the efforts of EVERYONE in making this board a reality.
Thanks, BJ

Thank you, Holic and thanks to everyone for coming over and building this board up.

I wouldn't be mad if there were advertisements on the left and right like every other NFL related webpage I go to. You should monetize this like the Bengals should have.

Many thanks, Holic. I'm glad we've got a new home.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

I think it is nice when you consider it is the offseason.
I look forward to the conversations once the games begin.
Thanks to everyone who decided to keep the conversations going! After all, the boards are only as good as the people posting on them.
Who Dey!

All the thanks to you Holic and the rest of the dudes. Honestly, i like this board much better
and it is pretty amazing that we have had as many people on as we have in the summer with
hardly anything going on until lately with the OTA's.
This board should be a boomin' come TC and Preseason, boomin'.

Thank you Holic and crew for putting this all together. I agree with all the sentiments mentioned above and previously. This really is a great board and a great group of folks to banter back and forth with. I enjoy reading damn near every thread. But I thought there was going to be beer over here once we got up and running. Kinda like a house warming party. Where's the beer?
