Good riddance, I was banned 3x from it for nothing major any of the times. I realize there has to be some kind of supervision over internet forums but they were way over the top there. The Mods thought they were judge, jury and executioner over people and took that job way too seriously. The forums are as watered down as the actual NFL is now, too many rules, can't do anything without getting a penalty. I miss hard nosed football and miss the hard nosed world I once knew too. Now someone is offended by everything and God forbid 10 people out of 50 million are offended by something it needs to be stopped. : /

Although I didn't post very much, I was on the board pretty much every day. I'm glad we have an alternative.

I did not like the level of treatment over the years. I also did not like the constant moving of giants related threads into 40 different sub sections that no one would visit.

You're clearly making fun of people with bags for heads, and that's just not cool. I think you should be banned immediately. |

I'm relieved that I was technologically capable to make the switch.
So glad that I'll be able to continue talk Giants football with all y'all.
Having one problem with this new board. When I try to see my "Notifications", the message "you cannot access this members notifications" appears.
What to do ?

Keep personal nonsense out of our posts. I love sarcasm and good natured kidding, and that is a good thing to make it enjoyable.
But often in the old board there was so much unpleasantness. Too many little cliques. You complain about the mods...Well there was too much in the way of "banning" and not enough respectful reminders to keep it civil. lots of guys wouldn't complain to the mods and so several posters felt emboldened to be more and more unpleasant. Then it would get really bad. We need everyone's help here to keep it civil.
This is a private message board run by Giants fans. We're all in this together and we want it to be a great place for anyone who wants to talk about our team.

I was on there for almost 10 years, you were still able to post comments on there until about 6 months ago. Yea the way you make comments on the team page was a joke. You had to scramble to see the most recent post. Still to this day I dont know why they shut the forum down back in 2013. |

I was a lurker on the Giants Board, due to issues with registration of an account. I'd create an account and never receive the verification email so that I could post.

I posted there around 2000ish when ESPN reformatted their forums. Didn’t like the new look so I went to giants.com which also had a horrid format and layout at the time. I also didn’t assimilate too well at Giants.com because at the time if you weren’t “rah rah” about everything NYG and expressed some criticism, you were always under attack. Then I found a new home for awhile until that forum was essentially destroyed by a regular who argued with everyone about everything and made it unbearable. (He was also a member at Giants.com and I avoided him like the plague because he maintained the same behaviors there.) So I mozied on back to Giants.com in Sept of 2017... just in time to reestablish myself prior to it shutting down  |

Only reasons I can think of were they didn't feel like paying someone anymore to monitor/run it. In other words just being cheap. |

I think Hobo would be a great add to this forum, there were some dudes their I always looked forward to hearing from. I have a suspicion that one of the posters here is Tool, but I'll keep that to myself.  |

Only reasons I can think of were they didn't feel like paying someone anymore to monitor/run it. In other words just being cheap. IMO; I think the clock began to tick last year when the site was taken down because of the alleged redirects. That started a chain of events that mushroomed into so many problems that required resources ( labor and money) to mitigate them. It most likely showed as too much of a drain on IT budget . The Upper tier of the IT department probably view the MB as a money sucking albatross. They felt the resources would be best suited elsewhere. They made their case to the FO . The rest is history. |
