Oh god, please tell me you're joking. Because the constant shit flinging was soooo much better. (Sorry Larry)

I miss the old graveyard too. By all means, start it back up and stop whining about everything. The only thing stopping you is your own giant ego and habit to throw tempur tantrums when shit doesn't go your way. For someone who talks tough and calls people girly men, you sure look like a giant hypocrite every time you have a fucking episode. I understand if your entire existence consists of lashing out for attention anonymously on the internet, and I pity you for that, but for God's sake don't act like anyone here is forcing you to act like a petulant child 24/7.
You're not OG, you're not a hipster, you're a fool clinging to a fake identity on the internet, presumably to run away from your real life. Calm down, learn some emotional restraint, and make this site into whatever you want it to be.

Nothing has ever been the same ever since the day everyone migrated here from the original NFL Forums, lets be honest. But this was the best option we had at the end of the day.
Eddie, I know this must be frustrating for you, but having this civil war over "the old vs the new" isn't going to prove anything. It's not fair to point fingers at anybody on here, when the only people that should be to blame is the one's who trolled NFL.com, which eventually lead to them deleting the whole place.
Not everyone is going to get along on here, but we have to make the most of it. Nobody is asking you to stay if you don't want to. But trying to destroy the place from within isn't going to solve anything either.

I've never seen a problem with how things are run here.. The only issue I see is that we have lost so many great posters and are now down to a very select group of people. If we want to talk about things we are doing it with the same small group over and over and people wear on each other.
If all the members that are signed up for this site were all still here things would be very different, or if we had traffic and new blood coming in. Sadly we don't get very much traffic at all, and people leave, gotta make the best of what we have.

Not as 'O' as me and some, but under wire. lol I agree with you on everything else. You make your bed. I'm so used to Eddie's rants, I get him. It's like a blood relative. Not defending. Just we sometimes talk and the only one to my knowledge that's actually met him. Nothing has ever been the same ever since the day everyone migrated here from the original NFL Forums, lets be honest.

But trying to destroy the place from within isn't going to solve anything either. He's obviously over the top, but it's coming from a good place. I think. lol Bengal, this was not an option to migrate here. The NFL forum close came without warning, no way to contact most people. I've never seen a problem with how things are run here..

Sadly we don't get very much traffic at all, and people leave, gotta make the best of what we have. We've not lost that many posters. We never had many. This might get deleted 2 years ago, probably not now that no one cares or mods knows what they should do. I pushed hard to get some people here. One person was actually told to re-apply in 6 months. I cried big tears at that. And when I wanted to invite someone (I was an 'esteemed' GY member), not only did it need to get voted on, but I couldn't invite them myself. Had to come from a mod, even knowing I had the better relationship with the person nateball89. Jin, with all due respect, and I mean that... there's probably a lot of history you know nothing about. You're not alone. But just saying. Here nor there, but I was a huge proponent for opening this up. We lost many valuable people, and it was water under the bridge, cuz it was finally too damn late. EDIT: I'm probably not the only one who's had some ideas how to improve this place. Honestly IDK. EDIT: Also saying I guess that some GYers need to be given slack and understand that thru no fault of your own, you just don't know. Doesn't excuse bad behavior, but often it comes from what might seem to some 'out of the blue'. And rightfully so, but it ain't. Hey, I'm the only one that will bother with this, right? lmao

EDIT: I'm probably not the only one who's had some ideas how to improve this place. Honestly IDK. We have never had a whole ton but we have lost a bunch of great posters, it may not seem like that many, but when you don't have many to start with its a lot. Off the top of my head. Shaggzfate, BigD, KJcrowe, Rey, GoBolts, DanB, Sean, Hebert, Nickworthem, Cbagin, Beast, Ceven, Buccaneer, Dreday, Diehard, Playhataz, Fozzofzion, Lostabroad, Corndog, and now Jeff. These people were all posters who at one point or another contributed something awesome to our forum, and who's contributions I miss. There are also a bunch who are still around from time to time but rarely. Panther, Plax, Ace, The Roar, Miss. Lacy, Sirshockwave, again sure I am missing a few. There are also many who were great posters on NFL.com that came here and kinda discontinued and we lost many in the move itself. I don't doubt that there is a lot of shit that has gone on that I don't know about behind the scenes, I just think people are to hard on our mods. These aren't mods who are getting paid and its not like any of them had ever done it before. For the most part Panther started this place from nothing with the help of Plax and they picked a few people who they thought would do a good job. I also won't say our mods have been perfect there have absolutely been mistakes and hiccups, and some stuff I have disagreed with, but again, they are doing the best job they can from my perspective. Part of this site was that we had all known each other before hand and that moderating shouldn't really have been necessary. The other thing I think a lot of people don't take into consideration is that our mods are just mods. They were here because they were posters back on NFL.com. Its like one of your friends at work suddenly becomes your manager, not an easy thing to balance. At the start of this forum, wasn't one of our rules that any new members at all had to be voted in had they not been part of the original group invited? I am not trying to say you weren't treated unfairly cause I don't know the circumstance, but I just remember early on that everyone had to be voted in, I think that was one of the forum rules.. I was also for opening this place up once we had gotten through the "chaos" of NFL.com shutting down. Most people right at the beginning came here to get away from the trolls that had begun taking over at the other site, and it kinda led to a paranoia of letting new people in and upsetting the balance we had of good posters.

That's sort of something that I take for granted on a website here. It's like looking at a violent criminal and saying, well, at least he breathes and shits consistently.
