Nope. No need to go back. There are plenty of football news aggregators to choose from. I have neither the need or the desire to read Baghdad Hob's spin.

Definitely will. Best place for bengals news and insight - along with videos/interviews etc. Probably the best team website in the NFL as far as content.

It is hard to say. Most of the articles are spin or fluff pieces.

The boards closing won't impact my use of the website. I go there mainly for videos as I get most of my Bengals and NFL news through social media and alerts on my phone.

I can honestly tell you I never use that website for news. Hobson is okay but I like ESPN's Coley Harvey much more.
Safe to safe the NFL websites are going to weed themselves out with the rise of social media.

It took all of 2 days for Chrome to change the autocomplete of putting "be" into the address bar from bengals.com to bengalsboard for me.
I will only return to watch press conferences/ read transcripts.

Hobson's Choice is definitely polarizing. You can get some insight as to how the team is thinking, but sometimes Geoff sounds insane with his praise towards certain players. I have to remind myself that he encounters these guys a lot so he's close to them and basically won't write a bad word about them unless the coaches get frustrated with them or they leave the team.
Also, the specific questions he picks get on my nerves. Someone else had to have submitted the same thing in a more precise manner. Two paragraphs with 1 1/2 of them not even asking anything. Just saying how much they appreciate Hobson and how they're from Indiana and we really need to know that.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

I only go on there from time to time. Either to watch training camp videos or see how players did during camp. That's about it. Nothing has or will change with that.
I do miss how the old board used to have "Featured Comment Of The Month" on Bengals.com. That was cool.

I voted yes. I'll admit the message boards were the main reason I went but then id get sucked into the videos and some of the other links. I'll check simply to see vids and stuff. But now I have to set up a whole new icon and that sucks a**.
