Place was a dump. Lots of subjects and players that were Giants related would get moved to the “Entertainment” section. There were also a handful of posters that would make non issues into big issues that were completely unfounded and ridiculous while the MOD’s would do nothing. The “live” thread during games would always crash a few minutes in as well. Overall, it was about as well run as the Giants organization has been over the past 5-6 years.

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. : / What we are asking is that we are civil with each other. 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 joined in 2005 and went through all the changes over the years. Slowly the mods and RF took over the board. I like to have some fun now and then as all work and no play makes life boring. Message boards are disappearing slowly as the quicker Social Media takes over.
