Its not even that. I keep hearing how its a much more fluid form of discourse. Here, you type your post and hit submit. There, you type your chat and hit return. Much easier.

I appreciate the flexibility here. A chat is just a chat. Here, I can put time and thought into posts or I can just toss off one-liners.

It is more of a conversation. You were there for awhile - you know this.

Sometimes, threads here can be "everyone post their opinion and refuse to consider / give merit to other opinions" It isn't a conversation...just a series of draw a line in the sand statements of "fact."

I like both places for different reasons.

Ultimately why does it matter how someone spends their time? Spmack you go through long stretches where you aren't posting a lot. I don't recall anyone accusing you of boycotting. Life has a way of changing some of our habits.

Please stop trying to compare Clash of Clans to MSFMB. The point of that board was to bring down CSFMB and they excluded people for various reasons. That's why many of us had an issue with it. Keep in mind no one has been excluded from Clash of Clans (The name of the clan is CSFMB ) and BF and others were members of the clan at one point. The only people from the clan that aren't posting here because their lives are busy/going through change are the people who were banned.

BTW I have a reliable source that tells me Spmack has downloaded the game.

That isn't actually a thing. Your FB stuff is messed up. Rejoin the group.

Somehow everyone but you and I can read it. Imu sent me part of the thread. Our comments look really random.

So basically, Camps is saying everyone should post here forever and if they dont, its kinda bullshit and probably some sort of protest/shot at BigFan.


If you asked me to list my favorite 20 posters 3-4 years ago, at least half of them (probably more) are not posting here anymore for a variety of reasons. Obviously that affects interest.

No one poster is bigger than the board that's undeniably true, but when half the regular posters are gone, the complexion of the board changes obviously.


And Clash of Clans has not replaced this board. Its not even close to the same thing.


And for me, it has nothing to do with BigFan. Posting/reading here just isnt as fun anymore. I barely listen to the Score, the Cubs Sox stuff is just played to the max (a lot of that is on me) and the gen discussion is not as comedy themed as it used to be. (which I prefer)


In closing, Id like to apologize for ONLY blessing you all with 60 thousand posts.

I think they are right Hawg.

Also havent you been personally invited to join CoC on this board multiple times?

So...I believe you should have zero ire.

But, hypothetically if someone wasn't posting and the reason was protest, why does it bother you? People aren't required to like the people you like or deal with things that offends their sensibilities. If anyone has a problem with bigfan, or the way the board is run, or the majority of personalities on the board...why should they continue posting here?

If you stub your toe on the leg of a chair, do you continue doing it over and over hoping it won't hurt the next time?

You're my guy, but I think you're off-base on this one.

Agree to disagree. The board's better when everyone's involved. That's the main point I guess I'm trying to make in the end, which is not coming across eloquently :lol:

Put all of the protesting and CoCblocking to the side.

a lot of posters aren't allowed. CoC, FB and MSFMB is the only way to communicate with certain former posters.

Don't forget about Tommy. I heard he was committed to the insane asylum but still has access to iOS and the Internet. He wants in.

Sounds like RPB, IMU and others believe the board's inevitable, inexorable death spiral has begun.

How much longer will it survive?

I find it hard to see that some do not see how the COC chat is different and in ways better than here. Don't a bunch of us choose this chat over posts during Bear's games?

The board won't die. It's evolving. Some like the new direction and others don't.
