    To get somewhat back on topic, it's been real guys.  My time on message boards is likely coming to an end this Friday, as I don't immediately plan to join any other site.  I think that time has come to focus more on real life, despite how much I've enjoyed talking football with many of you.  I figured I'd say my "goodbyes" now before Friday so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.  I'll still be around over the next couple of days so feel free to reach out.  A few of you have my personal contact information, and I'd be more than happy to share it with a few others that have meant a great deal over these last 6 years if you'd like to keep in contact.  If one of these new homes starts to develop a following, I may consider a return to the message board world.

    I can honestly say I wouldn't know the game of football as well as I do without a large majority of you.  I have always considered myself more knowledgeable than the average football fan that calls into 105.7, but learning from a lot of you really made me realize just how complex this game is.  Learning how to evaluate prospects, read coverages, etc. wouldn't have happened without the insane amount of knowledge that can be found around here (some more than others, obviously).  I sincerely thank you guys as it has really strengthened my love for the game, despite never playing it other than backyard games in the neighborhood.

    It's been real, ya'll.  Go Ravens!

    It's been real man, and I certainly hope we can find a way to stay in contact.

    In all seriousness though I joined this forum just a few days after learning how the down and distance markers worked and I leave it now the most knowledgeable about football in my family and I attribute a lot of that to the members on this board. No other online community is as patient with newbies as this one and all they ask in return is a respectful following of their rules.

    One of the biggest events of my early life was recorded on this forum when I first received my drivers permit which I can now say is a licence.

    This was the only place I could talk Ravens football with truly knowledgeable people as I have also stated the craziness of the fandoms in my family.

    Game day threads were both a source of fun and frustration where I received my only warning points during my time here with rather....interesting incidents sparking them.

    I have had some past petty squabbles with a few members on this board, namely @-Truth- and @BmoreBird22, hatchets that we've long since buried.

    The yearly off-season games provided the best time-filler in those long stretches of nothing which still make me laugh to this day, even with my O-line incompetence.

    I attempted to bring my usual sort of comedy here and in some cases seemed to succeed, learning at the same time, just how funny some of you on here can be as well.

    So my final thought in the end is simply this: Thank you to everyone here for making this such an amazing place to waste time 😁.
