I just popped in over there and it was weird and unwanted sense to it... still seemed posts are going strong only comment I made was to try this board out it does not miss a beat!
Probably my last post there...

Probably my last post there... I know RF is still actively posting news there. He’s signed on here and hopefully he’ll join us once they shut it down. There weren’t actually that many active posters there - less than 700. Now that number has dropped into the 500’s. Still a lot of lurkers though. It will be interesting to see if they begin lurking here as well.

New posters will find their way here, I did sign up on another board too so some may either be splitting time there or waiting for the inevitable end of the MB. Surprisingly good civility here so far, I am sure as the season gets underway it will amp back up... but in a good way I trust....

This time of year is slow for these football forums, and I recall many members saying they'd be back posting as preseason comes around, in the past.
I think it was proposed to have a "Roanoke's Corner" on the old board, for him to post current news.
I'm trying to think, who would be the best candidate to name the possible new Smack Talk section for?

unless of course it is really bothering you and you are not taking it in the humorous manner in which it is intended. I do not deliberate seek to offend. Then I will stop.

I know some enjoy them but I believe it drives people away.
A little good natured ribbing is a good thing. The hateful name calling we see from a few posters over there is intolerable...at least to me. It's getting worse over there now since the end is near. EDM is welcome here as far as I'm concerned but some of the crap he spews there can't happen here. I will leave it up to King Rosie of course but personally I think he's right...in that it drives people away. The bottom line is that we want to talk about our team with all the strong opinions and disagreements that comes with that. But there needs to be a line...and a very bold one to be drawn. I don't need your approval.

I'm reading the others. Don't think I've posted in awhile though. Then again, I haven't posted here much either. Just happy this place exists. Was on the official board from 03 to 06 and then back again in 2011. The 2007 season was a board like this I posted on with a core group of great people. Can't for the life of me remember the name of it, but it was one of the best football seasons (for obvious other reasons too).
I could see this place capturing some of the magic that place had.

I don't need your approval. Not sure if you need my approval but as a Mod, given our discussions regarding what will be and what will not be acceptable, the nature of some of your posts on the other MB would not be tolerated. The same is true with some of mine as well. "You're the biggest idiot of the message board" is an example of what I'm talking about. We want lively, bold, blunt discussions...but not about each other. Having said all that I hope you have a pleasant experience here as we do all our Giant fan brothren. If someone goes after you personally for an opinion you have we will knock that down immediately.

Morehead's presence on this board proves he aware of the existence of the game of football. I don't ever remember noticing your handle before, but I can see why many do not enjoy discourse with you. I would suggest changing your approach. Not many like my point of view on things but few refuse to engage. It might not be your particular point of view people do not like but the way in which you construct the message.

Here's a thought. I'm all for disagreeing with another poster, even believing another poster has no discernible football insight is fine. But simply posting contrarian comments doesn't add anything. It's my hope that each of us try to add some value with our input and while I may not think another poster brings all that much to the table in terms of football knowledge and insight, I can't think of one good reason why I would insist on personally insulting another poster by stating it.
