Hey Guvmintcheeze, once our accounts are registered and activated, do we have to type the word test that pops up with every post? That seems...problematic...if so. Not sure...I'll check on it but really dunno. Lemme work on it..trying to figure this out myself...

They go away when you activate your registered account.

I've had Trout and others harping on me to make a new MB. Was not gonna because of the shenanigans involved..bit today on the official board there was some serious hosery going on. So here it is,..simply. I'll work on improving it as we go. BUT, it's kinda up up to you guys to get members here and make it work and make it run...so I'll try to uphold my end by improving it as we go and trying not to be an asshat. Thanks. Thanks for putting this together. Let us know if you need anything for improvement (time, money, cuddles, etc). Regarding the official board, those guys were just out of their league in terms of handling this. They don't have the background for that kind of transition and it turned into a PR disaster. People told them it what problems would be created and they ignored that advice. I don't think Tuggle and Banker are bad guys, but Tuggle in particular was thrust into a bad situation that he partly made worse with his defensive and bull-headed attitude. I sympathize with them, but at least some good can come out of it by way of prompting you to bring back FFF. Hopefully we can get this place hopping soon! Don't thank me yet, seems I've bugs to work out. And yeah, Tuggle got chucked into a swamp.

I hope it's okay, but I actually invited Tuggle to come visit if he wants. Hopefully everyone will be chill and treat him well if he shows up.

Yeah,
The fact is there should have been an ABF house cleaning years ago..
Almost all of of us were guilty at some or the other of shenanigans but there were some that took it a whole extra level that the mods allowed for YEARS.
It is nobodies fault but the mods pure and simple.

I've got no probs with Tuggle, he's always been cool...like I said..he just got chucked into a swamp headfirst.

It is nobodies fault but the mods pure and simple. I pulled some stuff over there years ago, but it was because myself and others were getting unfairly permabanned while the trolls were encouraged to run amuck. Might not make it right, but there's an entire context to the shenanigans and mod wars that wasn't getting discussed. Maybe they can work it out and turn the place around, but I'm not sticking around to find out. I'll spend my time and energies here at FFF and let them deal with the FUBAR they created. Not going to be told to eat s*** while I'm trying to help them. It's obvious how the organization views the members there. I'd prefer to build a community here and let the community work with Guvmint to deal with problem posters. This can be *our* place. Not some boards where the mods treat the members like crap and impose their vision of what's appropriate and proper.

I don't like what some of those guys do, but I understand. I think it's counter-productive at this point, but the way things were run there after the initial run of mini-mods was horrible, and today was basically a recap of that all over again. As much as they kept saying to us "you're getting the fruits you have sown," the same could be said for what they just did. If the "truth squad" takes over that forum, well, anyone could see it coming. They basically asked for it. I feel bad for Tuggle. I seriously don't think he knows a lot of that history, or why people get so incensed about it.

He thinks he knows the history by what he's been told. He made the comment about past users that have been banned are the problem. He knows full well that Sac has been THE biggest enemy of posters in ABF for a while now. I gauge that by some of his comments in TATF.
It's one thing to calm a conflict. It's a whole different beast to throw your hammer around because you want to silence certain points of view. Then tac on a couple of assholes that think they're mods because they kissed the right asses and use their position to get people banned for nothing but disagreeing or taking jabs at their stupid posts.
Some of the people saying not to take things seriously are the same people that take it seriously when someone mocks them with a one-liner or a goofy picture.

I'm out for the night, but if you guys like this place then tell some other quality people to sign up. Doesn't even have to be AFMB people. Just people who aren't d-bags and who are interested in the Falcons and talking to other fans.

I've had Trout and others harping on me to make a new MB. Was not gonna because of the shenanigans involved..bit today on the official board there was some serious hosery going on. So here it is,..simply. I'll work on improving it as we go. BUT, it's kinda up up to you guys to get members here and make it work and make it run...so I'll try to uphold my end by improving it as we go and trying not to be an asshat. Thanks. I'm generally just a lurker who posts every once in a while but thanks for taking the time to start this board back up.I enjoyed reading the debates in ABF and I'm sure I'll enjoy them even more in here.
