big_dish Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Prepare to welcome plenty of new contributors here, Bengals.com is shutting down their message board because the team doesnt want to spend a few bucks a month to fund it anymore. No news on whether or not ONE of the 1985 TVs in PBS being replaced with the savings over the next decade. Should be a nice boost in threads, posts, opinions and characters. Can we create a user name database for everyone to get them caught up with members here? Kenneth- cranky, angry old man BAB- Clipped Me- Bengals Organization pessimist/hater Jamie- Bad speller GO- owner and HUGE Dalton supporter 1181- Encyclopedia Bengtanicca Troy the Bengal- world class helmet designer Oldschooler- not actually old, and used to post a ton of articles Arkansas Bengal- the new Oldschooler, and actually in Arkansas Michael Weston- love em or hate em, but dont debate em Marcus513- the realest murdera in da hood Its late and I need to watch Game of Thrones, feel free to add to the cheatsheet haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful Llama Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks for the welcome, big_dish. You never know how much a forum like this means to you until one day when it's pulled right out from under you. I rarely look at the Bengals site itself and instead head to the board for the latest news. It's going to be an adjustment, but I hope this can be a soft landing for myself and many others.

alleycat Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Oh my. We have to put on some kind of filter. I've learned to love Weston, but Bengals.com message board is like the Being John Malkovich of Michael Westons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all else fails...and this message board is not saved, and a new one doesn't work out, there is an existing one that from what I've seen, looks pretty cool. It's more primitive than this site, more like an old school version, but it's got places for smack, draft talk, game day, and even a klotsch-like forum and some p&r. It seems to be open to opposing team's fans. There are already a bunch of members here that have signed up there today. Here is the link. http://forum.go-bengals.com/ I'm still holding out some hope that the people here change their mind....though I doubt that will actually happen. They had to weigh this option for a while and understand that there would be some backlash.

Awful Llama Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 this... someone do this... It's been mentioned there in a few popular threads. The word is out. This seems to tbe the consensus destination. Now, about these extra threads I somehow created. Can you wish those into the cornfield for me?

A few guys are a little concerned at how you guys will react to a big influx of new posters, but you guys seem pretty cool to me. Christ. Hopefully some of them fuck off and keep that Dalton shit elsewhere lol Actually, the bengals.com boards have really cooled down on the Dalton talk this year. I think people finally got sick of rehashing the same points. Everything's been said by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyrid Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 We've got a pretty good group here. Some guys are more active during the season and some more active in the offseason and draft time. Pretty much every Bengals article from anywhere gets linked and discussed which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was so bummed when I heard they were shutting the boards down. That's where I got all my Bengals related news. So I'm glad to hear these boards are the same that way.

Devils Advocate Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I look forward to meeting the established members here. Some of the guys coming over are very knowledgeable fans and will contribute accordingly. Some new members however, are/will be ... less than knowledgeable, lol. Should be interesting. Here's to hoping for a smooth transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 This is the place you should have been all along. Bengals.com actually demanded I change my username from "bunghole" to "bung" because it engaged their language filters. Fuck that. You guys will be welcomed and absolutely fine here.

|Bunghole| Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Come one, come all, ye lonely and disenfranchised bengals.com members! We will argue the finer points of Dalton with you as I am sure that hasn't been done there and we haven't even BEGAN to open the discussion of Dalton here, so...yeah.

SnickyCat Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 this... someone do this... I had an account there that I forgot I had. I've never posted before so for some reason it will not let me start a new thread....but it will allow me to post replies. I am putting this in every thread speaking of the board shutdown: "Feel free to join us at http://forum.go-bengals.com/ . The owner & members there would be glad to have anyone who cares to come over. If your looking for Bengals news and talk you won't miss anything there. I've been a member there for over 10 years now and its a great place. Hope to see some of you join us! :thumbsup:" Note: I am changing a few words in each reply also in case they have some kind of 'spam filter' setup so my posts should stick.
