    I'm trying to pump discussions into purple Flock. I think it has the most potential. Haven't heard much from the other creator on the other boardhost forum. Functionality and appearance are huge when attracting people too. And their interface is pretty smooth, on mobile, specifically.

    Wrong contest, lol, read back through the last few posts.

    Seriously though, I hope they get together. Bold's the one that took the initiative to keep things together. 

    I suggested the contest would happen

    Yes, but purplepitta has never played in the Forum Mock or DaF game and that was my point.  This is what really distinguishes this board from others.  

    I agree it does look a lot better, but Bold's place is a temporary home as has been mentioned on the board.  He is in the process of getting together a site with all the bells and whistles.  I don't care what the board looks like, the discussion and forum games are most important to me.  I feel they should contact each other because two heads are better than one. 

    Anyway, I'm not saying purpleflocks board can't work, it most certainly can, but making two competing boards isn't the best option either when we are trying to keep people together. 

    @Jonah DeVitoyou played in the Forum Mock, I'd hate to see this game go away.

    The forum mock won't make or break a board. The layout etc of the boards will decide which one is more successful

    Thank you for the kind words! I will be working with purplepitta on adding new and great features that will definitely set us apart from all competition that could arise in the future, although, I would still like to come in contact with Bold about the situation.

    If you said dick, profanity wouldn't have been deleted.

    I thought the others word would have less chance.

    Got both boards saved in my favourites. I'll give it a few weeks to see which one sets off faster.

    Hey Bold. You are saying that the new board you are building is just in the beginning stages. Purplepitta and I already have a board that is more than halfway complete and fully customized as well. I hope that we can come to some agreement or merger between the two boards. I have a PM I want to send you regarding the whole situation and what both parties can benefit, but you have incoming messages disabled. Please PM me as I'd like to discuss this with you.

    We are just today opening it to signups, so to all users that want to give it a try, you can sign up at; https://purpleflock.com

    We are also acquiring some staff members from the official board.

     

    However, some features will be limited until later this weekend.

     

    Again, you can visit @purplepittabread88 's and my new unofficial board at https://purpleflock.com.

    If you have any questions or concerns, you can also email forums@purpleflock.com :)

    And just to reiterate... the link provided is simply the temporary home created to keep those of us together that wish to do so. Over 130 joined so far and growing -- glad to see the enthusiasm. 

    But the beginning stages are already under way to develop a fully customized, privately hosted and scaleable forum community. 

    The goal is to have it up and running as soon as possible - no later than the start of the regular season. 

    Eventually id like to have user submitted articles and other features to make it truly our own. 

    Glad everyone is as committed to sticking together as I am. 

    @BOLDnPurPnBlacK you really need yo get in touch with them. You can see some posters are being turned by their site already.

    Don't make it a [profanity deleted] measuring contest

    billion dollar company cant afford official team forum.

    guess we finally have some money to get that high priced receiver in FA.

    seriously wonder who where those geniuses who made this decision.

    usually companies cherish/reward those who are loyal , rather then tell them to piss off and find somewhere else cause they aint worth the cost.

    I'm the messenger but from what I was told useage = posting, not the one one hit on say on game day you wish to leave a comment on the game and how aresome the long snapper is and don't come back, or you register and never post.  I did see some one the graphs, when I sign on to the admin side to retrieve a password and I am pretty sure that's what they are using.  There  is a significant decline and add a boatload of negativity along with the posters that left after update last year and the team not performing as well we  wanted my opinion is what led to this mess.

    So finally the truth is coming out. It's costing costs because the post count on a daily basis is down because a lot of people left after the update the admins did which we the posters didn't request?

    Stay classy Arnie.Be humble . I honestly I could really care less with  what anyone thinks of me on here. I'm me and if I start doing something what others would like then how would I be me. I got respect for every one on this site even for those that disagree with me on certain topics but I always will be me. If anyone has a problem with that then I don't know what to tell you.  Every post I made on this site and others is my honesty nothing made up about it and when I find out i'm wrong on certain topic I always been humble enough to accept that i'm wrong   but it's even ridiculous for me to even explain my case because at end of day this  is the internet. This suppose be a site where Ravens fans come together and discuss topics about our team but there's always some bad apples in bunch that want to bash the person instead of  the actual discussion. I'm not surprised at all with this statement by you  and I never claim I was the smartest Ravens fan or believe that I am but it is what is . Hope you have nice day though.

     

    Just criticise something. It's not all sunshine and rainbows jazz. Your how I picture and physcopath before the finally snap

    Since the announcement about closing the message I have sent three messages on Contact Us and received nothing in return. I did call the Ravens' office twice and did receive a return call. I was told the reason for closing the boards was the dramatic drop in usage. I am a late comer to the boards but I will miss them.

    Drop In usage? That's total bull

    Well according to the post you are quoting they have Facebook and other social media platforms that are more popular than this site.  

    Also some guy who is the Auckland isn't generating revenue for the Ravens.  No TV revenue, No ticket revenue.  The Ravens aren't responsible for creating a social network for people who aren't even their customers. 

    He does have tv revenue. How do you think he watches the games? He pass for nfl gamepass.

    He probably has more memoriablia than you do as well.

    You can draft a guy in round 1 and he sucks while you draft a guy in round 6 that becomes 1 of the best players in the game.

    The draft is a lottery.

    Sira can be a guy who can be as bust like gino , or he can be decend like lewis was last season  or become a stud like wagner or heck maybe he is even the next yanda.

    Only way to find that out is to have confidence in the guy and let him proof you right or wrong.

    Who says that if we drafted a guy higher that he would be better?
    Who says if we bring in dunlap or mangold that they have enough left to be an upgrade?
    Who says if we trade for thomas that he wont injure himself before TC?

    You cant predict the future so rather then burning these young fellas to the ground before even a freaking week has past , how about you put some confidence in the fella and see how he does in TC.

    If he is good then no issues.
    If he sucks and there is no back up plan then shame on the FO.

    If Flacco gets good protection and his footwork still sucks then i will criticize him.
    If he is under pressure all the time then i will give him a pass.

    If the o-line is 2013 bad then he gets a pass.
    if the o-line is like 2014 i expect him to show proper footwork in the pocket.

    in others words as an example i will evaluate the protection of the o-line first and then based on that i will look at the footwork of the QB when attempting to make a pass.

    but on 1 thing i will evaluate the other.

    at no point have i said that i will look at flacco footwork only and ignore everything else.
     

    so drop the zeroing with purpose to criticize BS please

    let me even be more specific.

    if flacco drops back to pass 10  times and:
    he is under pressure lets say half of the time or more , im not going to bash the fella for his footwork.
    but if he is under pressure only about 3 times or less , i will expect him to show good footwork the times he has no pressure.
     

    30 percent of his passes under pressure would probably be some kind of nfl record.

    The average pass rusher applies pressure less than  10 percent of the time according to a website that evaluated tim Williams and his riduclous pressure rate

    The two groups need to get together and combine and create one forum.

    The website address for boldnpurples is awful, but the has the loyalty of the members. 

    Hopefully egos don't get in the way and together they can great a great forum.

    Not trading Correa or Maxx.

    And Gillmore/Tali arent worth anything at all between their injuries, lack of proven production, and limited time left on their rookie deal.

    Carl Davis maybe, but youre only going to get a Carl Davis-esque WR in return. Nothing game changing.

    Plus, we dont need another young, developing WR who just needs reps or a chance (i mean, we've got a few of them here... why not just give them a chance). And none of those players add anything in a deal for a proven vet. Essentially equivalent to throwing in a conditional 7th.

    I'd trade the 2 of them personally. A Carl davis esque receiver is likely 3rd on our depth chart right now. 

    We literally have nothing after Wallace and Perriman
