Has anyone from tOBR sent Welcome Bax!-invites to e0 & JR (yet?)?
Was there anyone else besides me still banned from there?
I have a thought or two, but they kind of/completely hinge on^.

No invites and none would be acknowledged. tOBR = waste of time that I am happy to have removed from my life.
I'm sure I'm still banned from forums (probably most of them), but I'm pretty sure that old IP bans that were up on me won't work two + years after teh fact.
tOBR = dead to me

...and none would be acknowledged. tOBR = waste of time that I am happy to have removed from my life. ... tOBR = dead to me I get^. I do. I can think of several reasons not to go back. But, reasons I can think of to go back include: -This board isn't...good. I like everyone here. And there are brief flashes of goodness. But this place has felt like it's been on the brink of death pretty much since it started. By now, I think the reasons for this are obvious. If Sig's exile board is a frat house, this one's a hospice ward. -The vacuum left behind in the Cooler with T-Dog's departure has opened up some possibilities. Right now it's kind of in the midst of its 284th Old Vet Poster "We gotta get this place back to the good ol' days" rahrah phase, which I don't think any of us really fit into too well, but it's already devolving into "I'm bringing the old school flavor! You're part of the problem!" "No, I am! And you are!" So I give that another couple weeks before they all realize they don't have energy for much more than a little reminiscing, and then it's... A) a message board with some activity, but it's hardly swamped (there are posts from 5 days ago on the front page right now) and B) a message board with posters we've enjoyed posting with in the past--even tOC's bumping around there today. Jabba's kept tPF going (barely), etc... If nothing else, it'd be a situation with a lot more upside than this one. And I think you should open your mind to it if you (and JR, and NFG isn't banned, he might just need a new screen name, and anyone else who needs one) get an invite. When I asked, topdawg told me he'd proposed it. If it's someone else's call and they've nixed it, then I'm right there with you in the F them camp too. I'd be interested in going back if everyone who's here and still banned got invites, whether you decline or not. But otherwise, nah.

I guess at the end of the day the need for an active board doesn't feel necessary. Glimpses when real things are going down is really all you need.

BTW: Bumping around here when there are things worth talking about is less hospicy than trying to pretend like message boards are still relevant while riding the "been dead for a long time, even tPF started to die pre T-Douche" OBR. MBs = been dead for a long time outside of attention whores that just found the internet and people who refuse to let go (I'm looking at you YBD!).

I prefer smaller boards too. 10 or so likable people with a common interest can be pretty good.
5 or so likable people with virtually no overlap in interests; that's a different story, I think.

Yet, even the very essence of Generation Y still posts on at least two message boards that I know of. If it's MBs vs. Twitterz, etc, I'm all shrugs. I'm just saying that a move from this MB to another one could represent an upgrade.

I'm still present on tOBR. Not in the capacity that I used to be, but I just can't avoid smacking the stupid over there at times.

Koesters says everyone is off the ban list btw, so you are all apparently welcome back.

I just don't really care about the Borwns that much anymore. Plus I have a real job now.
I actually have better things to do.

I mean, when I found the place I was a big Browns guy so it was cool having all the up-to-the-minute news and crap, but now there's Twitter and that's 100 times better and 5000 times less annoying.
Then I got conned into paying 10 bucks a month for "insider" information that was never valuable at all.
Then I get banned and quit going to the site out of spite, and turns out I don't miss it. Football fans are dumb. I like baseball better.
I like this place. I don't want to have to keep up with lots of crap. I want gifs and jokes on the rare occassions something gifworthy or jokeworthy happens.

I will infrequently post anywhere that CA$H does. Enigmatic! Among the things this could possibly mean: A) "Remember the big MMM vs. CASH shitstorm? No?!?! Well, there was one, MF'er. And the effects are lasting! And if CASH is somewhere, I will not be there! (Except maybe on occasion.)" B1) "These days, you might say I'm something of an infrequent poster. If I'm posting somewhere, like, say, here, I'm only doing so infrequently. But damn do I love that CASH! If there's a place he's at, I'll be posting there! You can count on it! (Albeit infrequently.)" B2) "These days, you might say I'm something of an infrequent poster at the C-Town Sports forum. And if you've been wondering why, it's because, technically, CASH has posted here in the past. And CASH & I, we don't mix, see. [See A) above.]"

CASH will be checking in to see what kind of animal noises are coming out of the woods.
And CASH vs GRiz was tPF brawl for awhile. I think. Either that or CASH / Griz vs WoodyDawg.

How are my favorite whores?
Your forum bores me.
I'd rather vote in Jabba polls and babble mindlessly with Koesters in the abandoned forums.
Come visit some time. Awkward boners will be had by all.

I have a lot of respect for you folks and how you handled the split. You'd all be welcomed back as far as I'm concerned, but I certainly understand it if you don't want to.
tPF is only a shadow of its former self but I think that was going to happen even without the split. Once Mespaw stopped posting the place was doomed. ;-)
