Once again my email is Rod2009@zoomtown.com if you need me to do anything.
This probably should have been done a long time ago.It took me all of an hour to get the basics set up.Our Reds faction has been around the longest,posts the most,and is the tightest,especially since we all play fantasy too.We've always needed our own place started by one of us.Hopefully this accomplishes that for good.
The only thing I'm concerned with is losing posters.Some of us know each other from Facebook or from Fantasy but others like Flaredleg and Forty I don't know if they can get in touch with us.I sent about 12 emails out to the ones I had in my box.
Does anybody know if there is some kind of bulletin style message we can put out for anybody that does a search for Cincinnatiboardhost will see it and can come here?Anyway let me know.
Rod

I tried to go back to the forum I created years ago. Had a few emails there. But it has been so long ago. I don't recall my password. I wasn't prepared for the board host site to be shut down. If I had any idea I would have wrote down phone number that I had to some members.

I knew that board could go at any time.I wish I would have set up more contacts.Having a Bengals member that started that board and never posted and thought we were fucked up on the Reds site because we posted a lot was going to hit the fan at some point.

What up asshats! 
Thanks to eric for contacting me. Virus made me an admin on his site so I could moderate and pin topics and other stuff, but didn't provide me with any info to keep it going, bush league in my opinion. I was going to start a new board but didn't have anyone's contact information. Rod, this site will do just fine and thanks for starting it. Let me know if you want me to co admin or help you moderate this site.
Oops! you must have made me a mod while I was posting this. You know I let most everything go as long as it doesn't get racial. Thanks! |

It was just a wrong view by them about us overall. If you are only a football fan you watch a game once a week for 16 weeks a year. Pretty laid back and not. Compared to baseball when you have 10 NFL season's worth of games every 6 months. The one guy said to me "Over 5,000 posts". Condescendingly!When really if you do most gamethreads for a baseball season that ain't shit!

Alot of agreement and self perceived expertise. It was almost as if the entire board members were 80 years old and didn't have a clue what it is like to be a SPORTS fan. As you said there is 16 games a season for a NFL team. If I am too fucking stupid to pay attention to more than my favorite team then I need to shoot myself in the face. |

There were a lot of good people over there but man it became evident over time you were on the outside if you were critical. Some people are lost in space, some are too bitching oriented. That's cool. But I personally like to enjoy the ride when the gettins good and I definitely chime in when I see the same dumb shit repeated. I think baseball fans get tuned in to what's going(or any multi sports fan) because you watch a lot of games and get fine tuned over a 162 game season.There is a win/loss conditioning with a prolonged experience like baseball. With the Bengals this year only myself and 77 thought there was anything to be concerned about. Perfect record doesn't equal perfect world. We've run into this Eric with other forums and remember the invasion at the Enquirer?!LOL! We are sociable but also fanatics. I think it's the best of both worlds. Freaks a lot of people out!!  |

One thing I would suggest Rod is set it to where you have to approve new members. For simple fact this board may get flooded with spam other wise.
As for football side I have been a Bengal fan since 75 as long as i have been a reds fan. I prefer baseball to football hands down. Hell college basketball UK is right there with Reds and way above nfl. But I do love Bengals. I tried several time to talk Bengals and nobody but you Rod would talk to me on the Bengal board. It was like they were saying keep your ass on the Reds side of the board where you belong so I was like screw it.

If there are any problems with mass trolls or spam users they'll be gone. Doubt it will come to that. With the Bengals side there were good people especially The Virus. Just got to be too big of a divide. Our intensity level from year round sports and let's be honest frustration with playoff futility on both sides was too much for a casual fan. We needed our own place and hopefully this is the last time we have to do this. Anyway Happy New Year!! |
