I'm pretty sure they do that already. How would you feel about dealing with people like flynismo and redrum52 every day?? LOL

Good point.  

 

We didn't always agree, but I respected your opinion, homie.

And with their 6th round pick in the NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select... Keeping their forums open.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Guys, since the boards are almost done, was I the only one carrying points, by accidentally thinking something was not a cuss word, when on here it was?

How many screw up points did you all carry during your time posted in here? I got busted for calling a Flacco pick, and what was being referred to as a hiccup, as a Flaccup, must have been interpreted a different way, lol. 

I had some fun in here, my posts for the most part called them how I saw them, gave praise where needed, and criticized out of love for the team, in the hopes that the higher ups would recognize a bad decision(s) did not go unnoticed. 

I hope the Ravens brass will do more to bring folks into the flock in the future, as opposed to pushing them away, like this ridiculous board closing decision, or even no more McDaniel, and lack of player radio shows.

Do more for the kids, they will be your future fans, embrace the community, try not to be untouchable in your high tower going forward. We all have too much stress in our lives as it is, and this was a great way to bring everybody together in a common way, where your skin color, or background did not matter, just your love for the city of Baltimore, and its favorite Championship team celebrating the good times on its way to M & T, I love you guys.

I'm pretty sure my "points" reached critical around the time of the MNF Jags game.  Blaine <profanity deleted>  Gabbert....

The only reason I am not carrying points is that I haven't been active the past few months

Listen, there were times where I thought the mods were being way too knit-picky, even with the understanding that this is a family oriented community. But they have also let me slide many times, more than I deserved. They have been more than fair to me personally, and for that I appreciate it. 

You know, the other night I went through my content just to reminisce; as narcissistic as this is going to come off as, I got a lot of laughs reading through some of my old threads and the responses to them. The Purple Reign thread was probably my favorite thread ever

So it's kind of depressing on a personal level to see this forum die. So much time spent on here, so many laughs shared with others, so many awesome and cool new people I've gotten to meet. but instead of being sad about what we're losing, I'm just thankful for what we had!

Seconded. I've endured a week long ban once or twice. There was a solid two or three years where I probably carried points more than I didn't have points. Usually for being a snarky jerk and trolling some of the more bizarre or reactionary posters. Yet, the mods let me off the hook an awful lot.

And how bout that ole thread. Some old faces there. Always missed the Franchise and Warden in recent years.

Good times here.

[Militant X 1]

Man!  Still can't believe that they are taking our home from us.  Let me just honestly say that, while I definitely didn't agree with or see eye to eye with many of you cats in here on various things about "OUR TEAM" and probably still won't when this board shuts down.  

The one thing that was certain and will always remain is that through all of the ups and downs and the good and bad and the negativity as well as the positivity that went on in here; ya'll were and still are my family (Ravens wise).  "YOU A'LL ARE MY RAVENS BROTHERS AND SISTERS" and I'm truly going to miss not being able to come in here and chop it up with you guys/gals about our team.

I know! Franchise added me on Myspace years ago to keep in touch...but, well, it took a dump shortly thereafter once FB took over the world. He and Wardie were great people, I missed them as well.

There's always one in the bunch!  

No doubt that EVERYONE in here knows of my support for my local homeboy, Virginia Tech super star and former backup to Flacco but now STARTING QB for the Buffalo Bills.....TYROD "T-Mobile" Taylor!  However, I like our guy Joe Flacco.  Just want him to play like a world-beater all of the time and not look like Gomer Pyle half of it.  

[Wisdom]

I don't have a problem with the board closing.  It was nothing more than "I love me some Flacco" forum anyway for selected fans and others.   Totally biased. unrealistic and prejudice towards those with a different opinion and / or idea.  Glad for the shutdown.

Thanks, I feel much better about this now.    

[Underdogsontop!]

I've had a great time coming here to see and share info and opinions about our team. I've learned a lot about our team. The one thing we all have in common and passion for is this Ravens Nation! This forum brought us together in so many ways! We argue, fight, agree and disagree like family. We are all like brothers and sisters in this place. It's our own Ravens paraside I wish some way this could continue to be place of praise our Football Team! I hope you all get a chance to read my good bye and reply to me with the forum/website/etc you'll be moving on to. I'm Born send Raised Hawaii and I only have a Instagram. Feel free to follow and I'll follow back if I see ravens love on it. @fresh2deathbullies it's our family business of American Bullies and French Bulldogs. Thanks!

unbelievable, that's all I have to say. Smh

[hawkprey]

Gonna miss the old boards. Talking fellow fans from the ledge, blocking the insane ones and never venturing into the gameday threads. 

[Edgar]

Will miss draft season. Love talking prospects and the exchange of opinion and player "scouting".

Aww hell!  Now THAT STATEMENT is one that I definitely won't miss when these boards shutdown that is for sure Dom!

[Moderator 2]

Another announcement for everyone that missed the other 3 notices.  When we get the official date and time, they will be a thread here with the options, until then there is a thread in Off Topic pinned for all to find-- Peace Out!

[jimmypowder]

The boards closing I can live with. 

But the Ravens closing the Westminster training camp where you could go and watch our team anytime was unacceptable. 

I'm still angry over that cheap shot to diehard Ravens fans. 

 

I have yet to get tickets,which is on a lottery ,to the Owings Mills complex.
