Farewell to an old message board

I don't know if this is allowed, but I wanted to acknowledge a message board that many have migrated from in the past six months or so as it slowly and painfully deteriorated. I've been checking in occasionally and it looks like it is finally done. There were a lot of good years there (and a lot bad ones too ) but looks like an era is done.

 

And that message board is?

 

Planet Steelers. I came from there as well. Glad to have found this one, which works far better.

 

Well thank you for stopping by! The draft is around the corner as well! If you have any draft questions, feel free to ask me!

 

I miss the old Sporting News message boards in the late 90's/early 00's. All 31 teams (before Texans) had a message board... and it was fun to troll other teams message boards. Of course, the Steelers message board was at times overrun with Ravens, Jaguars and Titans fans talking smack. It was the late 90's and Steelers weren't very good... but it was freakin' hilarious. Very little moderation... "wild west" of message boards. Some of the funniest sh!t I've ever seen was smack between Eagles and Bucs fans. They weren't even in the same division... but the hatred was real. The Donovan McNabb vs Warren Sapp days.

 

Pours out a lil IC Light.

Word to the wise, never try to update a football website right before the draft with an inexperienced web head.

That site couldn’t get right after the update. No pasting, no links and no paragraphs by the time it died.

 

I piss on their messages board. LoL. This is the only Steelers messages board I've been on since the old board.

 

You all need to royally thank TTF (Steve) for setting up this wonderful site and continuing to manage and SUBSIDIZE it's presence. Some here have helped from time to time but not nearly enough. Hint hint. Thank you Steve! I promise to share 10% of my inevitable Tariff rebate with you.

 

Ditto

I like this one because it’s some what civilized

 

Royal thanks @TerribleTowelFlying

 

Ok for the rest of you cheapskates

Been awhile since that baby crowned around my place in more ways than one.

 

Goes for me as well. I have been around since the Steelers had a message board and was closed. Cheers to Pimp Dylan

 

now it's just turtling

 

I miss (bad word) LeBeau days on the old Steelers official board.

 

They would replace LeBeau's first name with "Wickerbasket"
