BuffaloRush Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 A big shout out to the mods and owners of Two Bills Drive. I have to say since migrating here from the Buffalo Bills Message Board, this place has been great. I don't always agree with the other members views on the Bills, and vice versa, but everyone has been cool and we all get along. I also appreciate that the moderators here are not self-important jerks, that abuse their power like the old moderators at BBMB. Good riddance to them. The fact that the forum doesn't crash after games on Sunday is a good thing too! LOL Seriously though, thanks for this great space that you created and thank you to all of the members here for a great 2017 and a better 2018. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crusades, an occasional recipe that includes pickle juice, and not saying anything idiotic around DC Tom are the keys to success. For me: 1 out of 3 ain’t bad. But I’ve been here a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterbluesky Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I never knew about this place until I got email invites from a couple old bbmb members.I'm starting to feel like it's home...almost.I was on the official board when we had just a few hundred members..I wonder what happened to Wyo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Dang - I have missed the pickle juice connections.....and I thought I trolled here very well. I actually do have a pickle based concoction or two of my own! Anyone know if Bill from NYC is still active and around? - I have not seen him in a long time and sorely missed his 10 things and the Dead references......

Sweats Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I was a member of the BBMB for years and what i found was that everyone fought all the time...........everyone was always wrong about everything and the petty quarrelling was monotonous. Mind you, as the saying goes, "if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem" and i may have had a small part in the never ending chaos, but when your views and opinions are constantly being thrown under the bus, well then you just kind of go with the flow and create bedlam as a backlash. I love this site. Everyone seems to get along well and respects each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 That site was just extremely bi-polar in general. 95% of posters there loved the Rex signing. After about year everyone hated him and no one would admit they wanted him as coach. Just one example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lo and behold, 1 year later everyone seemed to have amnesia and people came out of the woodwork denouncing Rex and OBD for ever giving the guy a contract. That place was not only bi-polar, but a sounding board for never-ending arguments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I agree. The BBMB was a bunch of softies. Anything negative towards the Bills got you an infraction. I think it was ran by the homer John Murphy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albwan Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I had one of those mods locked onto me for like 3 years, got so bad they would disconnect me and lock me out if the bills were losing, Quite amusing. Those mods were stalky. Plus towards the end the tt fan club overwhelmed that board and i still believe that is the reason why they shut it down.

Place was dominated by jack holes who also probably killed themselves after the board shut down. Thanks to 2BD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 There's not that much difference between the two boards. The BBMB mods would leave you alone as long as you acted like an adult and stuck to football without resorting to profanities. They merge more threads here while at BBMB they just let the bad threads die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) i'm still mad at this board for stripping me of my proud 3,000 plus posts and making me start from scratch because I couldn't find my password when they switched to the new format. did it so long ago i forgot what it was, i remembered a part of the password but they didn't care. wouldn't let me sign in so I had to create a new user. I think I'm still on probation as a nuuuube. showed no respect for old guy dementia. yep. i just looked. 77 posts most of it gold..... .

The phrase "acted like an adult and stuck to football" is completely subjective. Many fans on here have gotten banned or infractions for expressing a negative opinion about the Bills players, coaches, or the organization as a whole I personally know from my own experience. I once got banned for calling Ralph Wilson a "cheap skate" for hiring Dick Jauron despite the fact it was well-known he frowned on spending money on coaches or front office staff. The other problem is that mods had their own agenda and enforced their own rules. They were very inconsistent in enforcing the rules consistently on all members. The main difference is that the moderators here are extremely laid back and cool. They also aren't affiliated with the Buffalo Bills nor do they work under someone who is emplyed by the team. The only time they step in is when its warranted. For that I'm thankful - we can talks Bills football here without having to worry about the petty repercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
