Ravens Boards yearbook page.

We are swirling the toilet my friends.  
We are running towards the light.

The sun is setting.
*sigh*

There is a lot of good and smart people here.  Some idiots as well.  You all know who you are, if not I can fill you in on my opinion.

As much as I would like to make a list of everyone whom I have appreciated on here my issue of a poor memory and not wanting to forget someone and getting people confused and what not.  Suffice to say, if I like you and I respect you, you probably know it.  Take that for what it is worth.

Thanks to the Mods.  You get a lot of crap, but I appreciate you.  When my daughter was very young she would sit next to me while I was on the computer and read posts with me.  I always felt safe letting her do that with me.  That father / daughter bonding time is irreplaceable.  

Some of you might recall a family tragedy for me a few years ago.  It was among the most difficult times of my life and this place was not only a refuge but a support group as well.  I started a thread on the situation and many here rallied around me and supported me in a difficult time.  ( cept' for one butt who took the opportunity to be an butt, but I have not seen that poster in a few years ) 

I have been on here more or less daily for a decade if I am not mistaken.  We endured the Boller years together.  We celebrated the mile high miracle.  We celebrated our second Super Bowl together.
We all felt loss when Ray and Ed left the flock.  
We mourned the loss of Tray Walker, Konrad Reuland, and the man we owe our team bing in Baltimore to Art Modell.  We as a community have been through a lot together.  We have been in the truest sense a community.
I truly feel loss losing this place.  Not sure if those other two joints will be the same or not.

Either way, my Flock friends.  Five days to go.  Lets make them matter.  Lets make them significant.  Lets shut this place down the way we kept it alive.
With Purple Pride.  Class.  Dignity and a united passion for all things RAVENS.

here is one of me and POE for you all...

We've banned a few Steeler trolls, but not really very many.  They tend to be hit and run anyhow.  One non-troll fan got banned but he did something beyond extreme to earn that distinction.  

I remember him! I think he went on a rant during a Steelers game and the next minute he was banned but I never knew why, and certainly never would've thought it'd be "beyond extreme". Can you elaborate any on what the nature of the offense was?

 

I wish I could remember some good trolls. There was one "Ravens fan" who came here to debate Ochocinco, then slipped up and said "we" when referring to the Bengals. 

[Moderator 2]

The almost worse then Steeler trolls were the know it all Bronco fans, and the kicker was both teams had a bye and it was awful because of all the deceased equine flogging and all the spare time people had for two weeks. 

Texan's fans could be pretty odious also but started out nice.

I have learned to respect the Steelers as a team but not so much the fans.

I want to dispel some things about the mods -- we are not paid employees all volunteers that love this team and wanted to have the best board.  We don't make the rules but we are charged 

We don't power trip, we don't like to warn people, we feel the pain that most of the the posters

I will miss you guys, it been awesome!

Seriously though I was at Pep-Boys getting motor oil and the girl behind the counter looked at me all wide eyed and jaw on the floor.

"You are here?!?!"

" Ummmm. Yep. I am here"

"YOU are HERE !?!? "

" Yup. Still here. Not going anywhere till I get my oil. "

"Oh wait... you're not.... you're not Bruce Willis? "

"Yeah Bruce Willis buys his own motor oil at a Pep-Boys in Glen Burnie. "

 

That really happened. 

[Moderator 3]

Maybe we should all reveal one little tidbit about ourselves.  For example: you all know I'm a huge Ravens fan (evidence: 10 years of trying to keep these forums civil).  What you may not know is that I'm an even bigger Orioles fan, even through the 14 straight losing seasons.

I am a pretty open guy, there is not a lot I have not revealed here.  Not sure what would be interesting.... 

Perhaps this....
In my teen years ( the mid-late 80's )  ( NINETEEN eighties that is ) I did that BMX freestyle stuff.  I was actually very good.









Yup.  That is me.

In the early eighties, I served in the Navy, on the submarine. Was manning torpedoes and got to steer a boat, too.

Sorry, no photos (top secret).

Even though you mods and half the people know, I'm still gonna keep that a secret until the last day... 

 

Please do the same for me

Back to a better time when @RayRayRaven was coherent.  The good old days just a few short months ago

not sure we watched the same game the pats pushed our d around some and though we pressured brady he was sacked only on a Weddle blitz.  our secondary has holes.  you saw weddle get burned and tavon young get targeted.  its not a bad D but its not a killer D either.

it starts in philly what we do in that game says a lot about our season. its fitting though isn't it, to get in the dance we have to beat our nemesis again. We have to win that one in pitsburgh.  all the marbles are on the table and it will be playoff game. what more can you ask for!!!@!!!!

Hardy har har. You are so funny, do think you are a comedian like Bill Murray or something? Okay, I admit you totally killed it in Ghostbusters.

[OriolesMagicPlease]

Since everyone is getting all mushy: I'm mostly a lurker, but I want to thank the posters who took the time to make thoughtful, intelligent posts. I learned so much about football from you. I was always amazed with the amount of effort and thought that went into those posts.

Thanks to the mods, not an easy job.

A very special thanks to those of you with a sense of humor. Laughter is so important and I did get a lot of laughs here (some unintentional but still, lol).

To all the vicious Flacco haters (not critics, totally different) I seriously think you need medication.

Lol Tank, always preferred "seasoned" as my choice of words. As I get more seasoned, the spicier I become.
