I cannot even READ threads on NFL.com anymore without being treated to a delusional, ass-kissing post by some generic homer-istic troll who knows absolutely NOTHING about football. Seriously. Does anyone else (aside from the people who got banned for whatever reason) feel like that? It is unbearable. That place was once a respectable forum. Whoever's idea it was to turn the gamecenters to facebook and shut down shout-outs (though it was understandable why they did it) killed that place. It has become disgraceful.

What is not understandable to me is why they got rid of your most recent threads you posted in. Is it that great of an invasion of privacy, or.... If so, they should at least give you the option of hiding or making it viewable - or least viewable to the user/account owner. User functionality on that site is almost non-existent, it's like infancy on the scale of web development. And it's like they sold their souls to the devil or something with the Facebook stuff. It's a Facebook and Twitter world now. Hashtag this. Don't get me started. lol

Thanks Jeff. You just made me curious enough to check in and waste 1/2 hour of my life. This just in from a childhood next door neighbor who found me after 20 years:
"Just made 2 pizza pies with mushroom and peperoni . goooooooooooooood"
Just deleted 10 'friends' that will never even notice. This one 'likes' this and that one 'likes' that. So cool. Like a terminal disease.
I've never uttered a tweet. But found the site useful for Fantasy World Series Of Poker (don't ask). Now I follow football players. And panther on there, that's about it.

I still look in on the General Discussion forum and the war-rooms more than I should, but it's an idiot & troll way-station for the most part. I agree with dive about the recent activity settings, but I don't think it was intentional. When they shut down the articles and gamecenters they shut down the shout-outs too.The removal of shout-outs caused multiple problems to accounts. If you changed any personal settings it reset your account. You lost your avatar and recent activity settings. I don't think they anticipated the problems, (friends and high fives were affected too), and they didn't have time to figure it out before the Draft. After that they had to sort out FF. They were never going to make changes until after the Super Bowl. The thing that annoys me is that I can't follow email and Facebook comments on articles. I can't scroll down to follow conversations as I am prompted for a Facebook account - which I don't have.

Even with a FB account linked you cant follow anything, half the time the plug in doesn't work, and more then not it's just people being dumb and trolling under their real names. The only thing that changed was the names and the addition of "like" and "Reply".
Too many people gave up on the forums to keep it respectable. People like 16NO with his 2 (or more, but 2 for sure) accounts always praising a QB, ignoring the same facts and stats for both (even though they are different QBs) and so on is appalling. Though lately I've found myself on my devil account pissing into the wind trying to fight them.

feb 3rd. just waiting for that so i can finally say goodbye to that place once and for all
having that whole pickem game thread on there still, i have no choice but to keep going there once a day just to check up on things. the season on there is awful. the trolls have made me unmotivated to even want to continue with this
after this season is finally over, we can crown a winner and say goodbye forever. only time ill use it is to read mock drafts, watch videos, and do the pickem thing (this time as a private league thing). no more of this crap once and for all.
ive had my last straw ever since they had the nerve to shutdown my thread the 1st time. fuck you, nfl.com.

It's gotten very strange over there lately. People who USED to be legit posters have lately seemed to be falling more and more into the troll abyss. Kind of a bummer.
