I don't think it will be a problem. If nothing else, while I won't abandon ABF, I'll feel a lot more comfortable posting over here knowing we can speak freely and act like adults without someone feeling the need to "shake things up."

The underlying problems are still there, unfortunately. But they're doing what they should have done all along. My concern is that after Guvmint spent hours setting this place up, that people just go back to AFMB like nothing happened. I also wonder how much of an effect it had that 25 of the best, quality posters registered here and started posting just just five hours after the rules went into effect. It would be a shame if this place was hurt by its own initial success.

It would be a shame if this place was hurt by its own initial success. I only started this after the unfair hosery that happened. I thought good peeps were getting burned for the actions of others. Let me say this now. I don't give two fucks and a hoot what goes on there, that's on them, and the members. I saw thru the bullshit years ago, and don't put up with it. That's just me. My only intention (as before) was to provide an alternative place for Falcons fans to hang out and talk without the cloud of banhammer hanging over their heads, or having to put up with asshat trolls.. Don't mistake me..I DO NOT want to ban anyone or moderate much, if at all, BUT I WILL. I know I may be asking too much too soon, but this place is for all of you ..not me. I ask and hope that a bit of self moderation by each member will make this ugly little joint a place for all.. It's up to you guys to make this place thrive, and I hope you do, for yourselves and for future members. I'm just the shmuck in the shadows trying to do as little work as possible. Make it your home away from home. And with that I go back to my beer.

LMAO, after 24 hours one of the new unbreakable rules is now able to be broken? It's just so ridiculous that it's laughable. Kudos to Monoxide; it's the right thing to do. But good lord what an unbelievable mess they created. Tuggle concerned about mod bashing? They're doing more to humiliate themselves than I ever could. I've never had any issues with Tuggle, and I take your word for it that he is a good guy, but FFS, he's handling this whole situation like a heavy handed clown drunk on his power as a message board mod . The whole pinned rules thread was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen posted on that board. I agree though with the props for Monoxide, that's the way the situation should have been handled, but screw it at this point, I think I'll like it here, especially if this board doesn't crash during\after every Falcons' game.

Yeah, I'm going by what others have said and my own PM interactions with him. He seems to genuinely believe he was trying to do the right thing, but I agree with your description of how he handled it. He seemed to be out of his depth to handle a situation like that. Not that he's dumb or a bad guy, just didn't have the background for what he was asked to do. No problem with these boards crashing any time soon, as I understand it. I like it here and I'm staying as long as it's a viable board. Just hope other people stay and post enough to keep it going. This could be a great group if enough people contribute.

Yeah, the old FFF was a great place to hangout, and I stayed there more than the OMB. I also still get over to AFT every now and then. The problem with the main board is there is frequently an influx of d-bags, and they always seem to let them run rampant before a huge crackdown on everyone.
It's like releasing pit bulls into a dog kennel and then shooting all the dogs when they inevitably start fighting.
