No not anymore. Its useless except for checking the roster. 

Good for game stats after a game and that's about it.

Does anybody remember what year they shut it down?

Nope.  The way I follow the team and consume content these days is far different than the early 2000s.

 

The funny thing is going on the Official team website and using those message boards was new and exciting compared to how we consumed content back in the 90s.  Evolution is wild man

And there are some of us who had to rely on only newspapers for decades.

The message boards?  Early 2017 I still remember that well actually.

 

Usually anyone poster with a start date here of March 2017 was a transfer such as yours truly.

Interesting.  I would have guessed it was even longer than that.  I was thinking more like 2011 or 2012

I check it pretty frequently.  Specifically, I look for any news articles and will also use the team roster page for reference purposes.

Yeah I hear that

 

i will never forget though how many fans on that message board really really liked the Rex Ryan hire though which was all through 2015

Guilty here, too. I remember Shaw and teef from BBMB, among others.

I lurked there for a while but decided to join after Rex Ryan’s last game against the Dolphins.  Was looking for a place to vent after that day.  
 

My thought on that board was it was usually very negative even considering the Bills were in their drought.   With some bipolar mania thrown in.

Yes, and frequently.  They do a very good job with interviews and features.  Not infrequently, they even hit a homerun, or is it a touchdown; the Tasker "Might be chilly" was the best Bills media moment I can remember from any source.

BBMB was a complete utter joke and 💩.

 

Topic moderation was so absolutely watered down to boring topics. Controversy wasn't allowed.

 

They, like most teams, got rid of it due to concerns over liability and inability to control their branded topics. They were smart to do it.

 

They're a football team. Not a message board. 

Agreed. I get we have a lot of old BBMB refugees here, but I agree. That message board was trash. I am guessing there is just some nostalgia there from the refugees.

What was the reason it was shut down? I remember back in like 2004/2005 there was talk that the GM at the time (Donahoe) would lurk on the message boards…..I wonder how many other Bills personnel guys lurked?

Official franchise business info was leaked onto the site ahead of time that compromised what the Bills were trying to accomplish right before the shutdown. Coincidence? 

 

Probably not...
