    It must have been difficult on you Mods when players had high profile "off the field" stuff or arrests. You all at times probably shouted, "Lord have mercy, not again!" lol

    Not sure I've ever fully recovered from the Ray Rice mess.  The horrible way people on here treated each other over their views left lasting scars.

    That is pretty crazy! You may not be able to comment, but I am just wondering if a player has ever complained about a thread he felt was being unfair to him and asked if it could be taken down or certain posts removed?

    Not that I ever heard of.  Then again, we always tried to keep the criticism to skills, effort, etc., and eliminate the personal stuff.

    So wait... The boards aren't closing for monetary reasons?

     

    Pardon my french, but what the hell are you thinking? We have one of the smallest fanbases in the entirely nfl already. And the regulars tend to stick around because the regulars(me, @-Truth-, so many others) like each other. And furthermore, you're screwing people like me over. And that's unfair. I don't live in Baltimore. I don't know any ravens fans. This forum is all I got. Facebook, twitter, is full of idiots. It's like if Disneyland closed because they got 1000 less customers than the previous year. Why ruin a good thing?

     

    And I'm gonna come across as a Brownnoser, but even though I think moderation could have been better, the moderation here has been far superior on this forum than ANY I have been on otherwise. I literally quit RSR because that place is toxic. Here, there are several insightful and intelligent fans here who have turned me into a much smarter football fan. Sure, there are idiots here too, but not too many of them. The moderation generally does a good job. 

     

    Seriously.. Closing this place is ASININE to the nth degree. A lot of stupid crap has happened this year. But this is easily in my top 5. This is nonsensical from every angle I look at it from. I'd get it if it were from a funding perspective, but seriously. 

     

    Let me make sense of this. 

    1. If you think that running this forum has become too hard, then why do people like @Moderator 2 still have moderator jobs on other websites? She works hard, at while we've had conflicts in the past, we've always resolved them and has gone easy on me. She seems to REALLY like it here. As do the other mods. I'm pretty sure some of them would LOVE to step into your position if it meant they could keep the place running. 

    2. OF COURSE THERE'S BEEN A DROP OFF. We've missed the playoffs 3/4 years. It esentially killed any kind of bandwagon we had going and thank god, but it shows who the true fans are. Again, we have a very small fanbase to begin with. The fairweathers are gone. And thank freaking god.  When we start winning again don't be surprised when other message boards suddenly have a flood of fans. 

    3. The amount of attention to detail on this forum is great. It's not only easy to use, but aesthetically pleasing. Far and away better than any replacement options set in place(no offense to the ones who created them. I'm grateful. But seriously, the website here is simple yet gorgeous). 

     

    Just. This is so nonsensically idiotic that it's giving me a headache. Screw this place for closing.

     

    Who's in for a chain manure chant? Becaus this is BS

    Post of the year!

    Okay, regarding the "rules" for Friday.  All regular rules are in effect.  Whether or not they're enforced depends on how far you push the line.  We want everyone to go out remembering us fondly, so personal attacks are still off the table.  Porn is still off the table.  Trolling is still off the table.  

    Cuss if you must, but don't go overboard with it.

    @berad thanks for the shout out. Wishing you the best. Thanks for your tolerance. You're a good dude.

    Going off of that, I want to give a final, and sincere, apology and thank you, to the mods, particularly Berad, @Moderator 3, and @The Mom Gene. Y'all are good people.

    Thanks, @The Raven.  You were a "handful" at times, but turned into such a valued poster.  I want to echo Berad in saying it was never personal.  We just wanted to maintain a nice civil environment.

    After careful consideration, we have decided that we will sunset our message boards at the end of this month. Since we opened our boards a decade ago, the digital landscape has greatly evolved. While we understand there remains a smaller group of highly-engaged fans who participate in conversation in our forums, a significant amount of the dialogue about our team and our games has migrated away to other social media platforms over the past several years.

     

    This is the reason we were given (1st post).  

    My heart goes out to those members who don't really have another place to "talk" Ravens (like shut-ins, those living far away, etc.).  It's easy for me to have a conversation.  Heck, it happened in my dentist's office this morning.  For some, though, they have nobody but us to talk with.

    There should some sort of one time, monitored by you guys, page on the ravens site for us to write our condolences and heart felt comments about Holly and the Heaps. The Ravens need to make sure HH is on the helmets and/or jersey and/or field the entire season. Start that site if it's possible. I'm in IT, so I know it shouldn't be that hard lol.

    There is one http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/72855-prayers-to-todd-heap-and-family

    There were also extensive condolences posted in the story on this site when the incredibly sad incident happened.

    Like we need another reason to hate Boston and their fans

    http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19291263/adam-jones-baltimore-orioles-says-was-target-racist-abuse-fenway-park

    a lot of boston fans were ejected in last night's game for racist's comments directed toward Adam Jones.

    One scumbag threw a bag of peanuts at Jones and he was ejected as well. 



     

    Big story up on USA Today, too.  Face it, New England/Boston fans are scum.  Tonight should be "fun".
