*** Just a statement about some things. ***

Good stuff, thanks Ryan. 

 

I first started posting on Bengals boards during Marvin's first year. I think it was called Community Huddles or something?

 

Moved here in 2004 I believe. Been a good time and we've come a long ways in terms of the stuff we bitch about. A 6-3-1 record back then would have had us celebrating in a major way.

Thanks for all you do Ryan, especially providing this fine site. It is the best Bengal fan site going IMO.Kudos to you to keep providing despite getting kicked in the ass with selfish complaints. Not many others would do that.Think I've been here since 05 so not quite the very beginning.

I love this site and really don't care to go anywhere. I lurked for a while and think I joined in 07 or something like that..

This place has been great through thick and thin...

 

I appreciate everything you have done Ryan.

 

 

 

 

WHO-DEY!!!!

 

I post a fair amount on the "official" message board, but this site is "home".  This is where I post during the games, and where I do most of my Bengals discussion.  

 

I do post a lot in their draft and "klotch" forum.

Hey Everyone,

 

I wanted to give a small statement on things and bring some things out from behind closed doors in hopes to eliminate some complaints the mods and admins have been getting off and on for weeks.

 

We are Bengals fans. I spend thousands of dollars and many of us spend countless hours of our time to organize and orchestrate as productive and entertaining of an environment as possible.

 

That said there are dozens of bengals sites out there. From the official site to geocities level ones that hurt your eyes to look at. Essentially a place for everyone, every fan type and every forum preference. 

 

Here is a list:

 

http://footballpros.....php/18-Bengals

http://forums.bengalszone.com/

http://bengalsjungle.com/forum/

http://boards.bengals.com/

 

If there are some others, feel free to post them!

 

I have life long friends from here, some don't post here anymore but i still talk to on a weekly basis, and thats just fine!

 

I know drama can be a source of entertainment, and I know it can also be a proactive part of a dysfunctional internet family.

 

I encourage everyone to visit all bengals fan sites, we are all fans and the point of this is to enjoy the fandom and make it a source of entertainment for everyone.

 

What I want to eliminate is the harmful drama. The emotional overreactions, and the silly scheming behind the scenes as if this is a cut throat corporation instead of a free football fan community.

 

With complaints trickling in over getting spam PM's to join this board or that board or whatever, I just wanted to clear the air. We intend to hold no one hostage, and would love for there to be many thriving bengals fan sites so fans of all types have a place to call home.

 

We hope this can always be called home, and there is no logical need to play super secret PM genie to invite people to other boards.

 

Enjoy the season, enjoy the forums, and .....WHO DEY?

 

-Ryan

 

Sweet, I'm going to go join footballpros.com. I'm sure they'll all be ecstatic :24:

Thanks Ryan for putting the effort into this board over the years. I Have been around, on and off, since 2005. This is the only board I have ever been to. Even when I am not activity posting I am stopping in and reading. I come here first before going to bengals.com.

Over the years I have enjoyed the antics of BJ, rumble, Jamie, old schooler and a few others. The Few that get a case of douchbagary I just figure it's frustration from the passion of our favorite team. One thing you can say is that we all love the Bengals and the abuse they put us through. We would not have it any other way. We all have the "abused girlfriend syndrome ".

I Would like to see BJ back for sure. That was a disturbing son of a bitch
I say all that to say this is still the best damn bengals board on the net.

 

BJ is around but is incredibily busy in Kurdistan doing PHD work, for those of us who are FB friends with him (you would have to request him directly as it's not something I would be ok giving out that's his call) it's been a interesting follow of his adventures there lately.

Thanks GO Bengals, Jamie B, & BJ I've been with this site since early 2006. I rarely post but enjoy the site tremendously! Especially reading the posts on politics and current events. I run halfs for fun and am training for full marathons I got into Crossfit from the board!

 

 

NICE!! Aren't you a local to my area too? (DC) What Box do you go to?

A ton of names I haven't seen in awhile.

 

 

Holy Shit no kidding.

 

CreechNasty - Go's sidekick at one time, met him when he and Go came to one of the Bengals/Skins games. (Back when I was a no good dirty republican too)

85WIlkesfan - I know is around I've got some mutual FB friends with him.

IndianaBengal - (RIP brother) :closedeyes:

TheBZ - He disapeared for a long time and was back a few months ago for a few days then disapeared again.

BengalLady - Didn't she leave because her husband got on her about being on here too much?

I'd like you to PM me with that info please. I am seriously curious about his conflict resolution thing he's doing plus given the ISIS situation that's likely occurring all around him...
