    I would imagine it was determined that it no longer supported the goals of the Buffalo Bills organization.  I.E., having a community forum where everyone can B word and complain about all things Bills is not really conducive to growing the brand.  

     

    The Sabres should be doing the same thing now.

     

     

    This is all rumors heard through the grapevine over the years, so take it with a grain of salt, but at some point ownership took a look at the content and were basically like "shut it down".  And so it went, and I can't blame them.  You had some posters openly saying that they would make better GMs than Whaley (debatable point), and the QB whispering with some was priceless.  I used to love reading this over-top-stuff stuff over coffee each morning, but if I'm a Pegula, my thoughts are probably the exact opposite from mine.

  2. I don't know why a bunch of people left TBD; then some, or at least one, returned.  I've been lurking here for years longer than I have been posting here.  Why?  Because it's a good board, and most people here are smart and civil.  But there are only so many times that I can restate that JA17 is a generational talent, so I just leave it alone.  I don't post stuff outside of GDT and OTW, for the most part, as a result.

     

    Based on the view of someone who was in lurk mode for the most part, a handful of people posted a large portion of the content here (many of them are gone now), and HBF ran point for this void of what seems like almost 3 years.  The pandemic years cause you to forget a lot of details, and how much time actually passed (it seems like 20 years).  I happen to like HBF, but she over rotated, IMO.  Instead of this group of say 8-10 people who really drove a ton of the discussions, HBF filled the void.  That lead to an imbalance of discussions.

     

    If you moderate the hell out of anything, no matter how much I feel that some level of curating public discussion keeps it from becoming total anarchy and therefore totally pointless, it's an impossible task, and eventually you burn out.  I get that as well.

     

    I guess what it comes down to is a simple question that I've asked myself over the years.  "Would you want to be a moderator on an internet forum?"  The answer is a resounding NO.

  3. It's incredible that my state, Maine (I'm a WNY native), is on the list.

     

    But, wait.  Wait.  I get the joke now.  Well done!

     

    Kinda reminds me of the "seafood diet" joke, where you see food and you eat it.  This is far more refined.  HAHA.

  4. I think that Steve Stevens plays a mean guitar, and is underrated.  I went deep into my CD-turned-digital collection recently, and revisited Billy Idol's stuff.  Cool tunes, great player.

     

    Also, during our QBR (quarterly business review) in Orlando last week, I got re-acquainted with Beastie Boys' "Ill Communication" whilst listening on the plane.  Forgot how great of an album that one was.

    Converting your crypto back to dollars was always the problem.

     

    That market will continue as long as the holders are willing to exchange coins between themselves, but will find it difficult to expand as retailers stop accepting them as payment.

    I think that there's a bigger issue: how to cover payouts.  The FTX thing, while unsurprising, has brought to light the dodgy nature of this industry.

    Okay, @TBBills, have at it.  Why am I wrong?

  6. Why do people lack self awareness?  I'm going to have to fire this guy on my team.  I work in tech, and we're going to do layoffs, probably right after New Year's.  Why, oh, why does this guy openly admit that he's not doing his job?  He literally just put himself in the crosshairs.

     

    I can think of a number of animated GIFs, maybe those involving Russ Brandon, to illustrate this theme.  Any contributions are welcome.

    I love the original...probably a top 5 all-time Comedy for me...but I just can't bring myself to watch the sequel because I know I will be disappointed 

    Yeah, definitely don't see it.  The Wonder Woman sequel, in as much as I was looking forward to it's 1984 kitsch, totally sucked as well.

  8. The only thing that bugs me about this loss is that the Jets are portraying this as a transcendent victory.  It's not.  If the Bills don't screw the pooch twice, then the Jets were toast.  Of course, the Bills screwed the pooch twice (thrice, if you think of the missed FG), and we fall into Any Given Sunday mode.

     

    I still feel that the Bills can win it all this year.  But it's game by game thing.  It's maddening, but I have faith for the first time in a long time.
