With the board gone, do we know who the good ones are that were still stuck there? Or have any way to contact them? Or do we have a free-to-view access board that allows any random person to request entrance here? And if so, how can we be sure to identify HHM and the grim crew when they try to steal names again?
The advantage this board has is the zero tolerance for trolls. If a troll DOES sneak in, he gets nuked as soon as he does ANY trolling. That is a huge difference from the old board this past year. Rick just let the monkeys run the zoo. It ended up killing the board there.
So did I. Kinda wish I could have said Thank You to him for the many years there.
So here a Thank you for the future for when this goes bye. lol
^^^ My sentiments exactly. and THANK YOU!
I was more than a little down to see the site down *even though it had gone to shit*. If anyone messages Ric somehow please let me know there is a LOT of gratitude here. I really think he took the high road too in his sign off. The influx of disrespectful posters and constant trolling had to take it's toll on his once great board that felt a little like the Cheers sitcom. He is a class act.

Isn't that what he wanted? He changed the rules and allow HHM and Grim to troll over and over again.
Then out of all people he deleted JABF account there for telling us he wants someone to take over. Then his last message I saw trying to find any reason as to why he wanted to close down the site as in Chicago's political view and violent crimes...
I think he's been a bit depress lately and ever since Alex made this forum and was spreading the message it was the thing to put him over the line.
If no one takes over the site, who do we bring over??
I have always like "The Benjamin" and "4th and 26"... maybe JackieJ?
Yep the above especially. I really was fine with nearly all of the pre-2016 posters even the polarizing ones. They could make for a different point of view/perspective/friendly argument and often good comedy. It wasn't until the lack of respect invaded. I am very humbled to be pulled from dabears titanic.
Thank you jabf9 Alexm Soulman and all the rest of you for not letting me go down with the ship!!

I didn't know/don't know all those behind the scenes decisions. Maybe his sign off had to do more with pride. I will claim blissful ignorance and think it was class. Can't blame him for being depressed. Combine that group with the Bears season and I'd want to kick the chair out!

It was about all the CSS Posters - or should I say the guys that HHM and Grimson wanted to follow - that killed dabears.
This Forum is doing well so far, has lots of contend and traffic from the users that are here. It'll be interesting to see how many new registrations this site will have now. Even if there are trolls under them, we all know they won't be here longer than needed.

Many of the followers were ok IMO. For me, it was the two "leaders" that set the tone. They were the cancer. But remember, this is just us on this board talking. Ski says he does not regret opening it up, nore does he see that as the demise of the board. He says it was just his lack of interest. Due to crime and democrats.
