I always wonder what happens to people that stop posting. Did they die, or jut lose interest in the team and/or board? Call me the sentimental type that needs closure, I guess.
I thought that I would check in so it can be recorded for posterity that I am still on the sunny side of the ground.
I was on the old board since at least 2010, or at least that was the earliest that I remember actually posting on the draft. (I have been a Bengals fan since the franchise's inception and a Reds fan since 1964. I live in Pennsylvania but would get 700 WLW every night.)
I decided not to transition to this new board, when the old one closed, because I found that the dynamic was affecting my fun; that is, I found myself rooting against certain Bengal players because of the positions I'd taken on certain hot button Bengal issues. It became hell: rooting for the Bengals to win and certain players not to have good games. I am not certain why the old board closed, but I suspect it became too toxic for the franchise.
But, I have followed this new board dozens of times each day since its creation. I am lurking and enjoying the dynamic and really have grown to appreciate some great posters. I only created an account now because I saw this thread and felt it time to make this note. I would add that I am now enjoying Bengals games so much more than ever, since I find myself rooting for all players because I don't have a horse in the race. As a result of recognizing my personality in terms of the above, I don't expect to be weighing in on too many discussions, but I will be reading all the comments.
