It's impossible to have an intelligent public conversation on facebook. I think that's why most of us migrated here.
Speaking of which, we have this hot young thread and we're still talking about the old, dying one?
One of the reasons I was wondering is I live outside the Cincinnati area. Like many fans who don't know other Bengals fans where they live, I followed the Bengals.com message board for thoughtful discussion, news updates and entertainment though I never signed up. ESPN's AFC North blog was also pretty good before they switched to Facebook a few years ago. Fortunately, I happened to visit the board last Sunday when the shutdown was announced. Imagine the fans who check in when training camp starts or in September and wonder where to go or who they can discuss the team with. Hopefully this won't turn off some fans around the world who have to follow by the web or otherwise watch NFL Network or go to NFL.com to get Bengals updates.
