  • Sorry to hear it but I totally understand. Quite frankly it's been amazing you were able to keep it open this long and it's much appreciated.    Bill

    Absolutely!!!

  • Kathy, a big thanks for keeping things up and running for as long as you have.  It hasn't been just a Football Forum, along the way we've all created relationships with people that I truly count as my friends.  Yeah- my wife tells me on a regular basis I spend far too much time on the Board arguing Football with a lot of Browns fans, most of whom I've never met.  🙂 

    Hopefully, in the ensuing months you can find a computer geek who can keep the place up and running. And if not, as you say- life goes on.

  • Ouch, but I understand completely. 

    I just don't want to have to go to a Facebook group....the ones I see are pretty toxic, like Twitter.

    Maybe MLD Woodyknows of a youngtechie guy or gal who could help.

  • Thanks for all you have done.  Big hugs from me.  I find it sad, but am very happy you are finding your way.

    Also big thanks to Z, Horta and others for their efforts.  Z, i know how to find you.  I will see you next year when you least expect it.

    If a new board pops up, count me in.  Let us know where to go.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    If worse comes to worst... I do know a couple of other Forums about that aren't FaceBook...  (I won't post links-yet)  🙂   Possibly, I might  ask one of our originals- Barry McBride, aka Art Beitz-from the old AOL Board, (which predates this one) if he's got any suggestions. As far as managing a website, he's way out of our league. He graduated from AOL in the post 1995 "Dark Years" to running "The Ravens Suck Zone", to Bernie's insiders, and currently- if I'm not mistaken- manages 247 Sports, Way, way more intricate than our Browns Board.

  • I'm not saying I have THAT kind of time to make things my own. But a dear friend of mine ran his own forum for about 5 years and I helped as admin. If things look dire, I can look into setting up a cut down site that works for the most basic of needs.   I'll also look at monthly cost for an upgraded site with code similar to TBB which allows embedding, bells, whistles, etc etc 

    Kathy or anyone else in the know, mind PM'ing me current estimated monthly site costs?

  • @hag2..We all ! ! Thank you very much ! ! ❤  You've done Stan proud.. You've spoke from your heart ❤️ & we all respect your efforts that were made.. 

     Powered by Invision Community..... H E L P !

    My only request would be a hopeful consideration?

    Browns fans call the Draft our Super Bowl... Maybe closing the curtains on the BB may feel better a day after round 7 ?/ it's going to feel real odd ending all this on a April's Fool's day ? ?

    Thank you again & to All of our great Mod's..... Zombo ? Hoorta ? WSS ? Mark O ?   Life is short !   Cheers to hoping we all get to meet up one fine day ! Go Browns !

    "Hopefully, I will finally find someone that can help me before April 1st and this post will be corrected but until then April 1st is the day."  Thank You !  fingers crossed ?

  • The real treasure was the sockpuppets we made along the way?

    Thanks for all of your willingness to support this site and keep it going as long as it has!  Hopefully something positive can happen in the next couple of months..

  • Wow.  Kathy, we all knew that, once Stan was gone, the end of this remarkable board could one day come to an end.  Geez, I remember when Stan was trying to figure out a name for this board.  I must admit that I wasn’t a fan of “thebrownsboard,” but that shows what I know.  Stan was creative, hilarious, and a true visionary guy.  He was also a great friend.  Stan poured his heart and soul into this board.  He was so confident in his product that he actually blew it up once or twice, just to rebuild it (and the membership) in order to make it stronger and better.

    Through this board I’ve made a bunch of terrific friends.  It is mind boggling to try to think back and capture all the wild and crazy memories with them. I think it is a tribute to Stan that many of these friendships have survived and flourished. Also and in spite of all these good things, I must admit that I’m still buddies with Zombo.  How did that happen?

    Zombo, I join the others in thanking you for all the time and effort you’ve donated in holding this baby together.

  • Thank you for keeping it going for as long as you have Kathy. There is no need to explain as you have to do what is best for you. If this is the end of TBB I will be really bummed, but I will also have a head full of good memories.

    This place is where I come to laugh, vent, get pissed and even sometimes get some useful information. It's been a Hell of a ride and nothing lasts forever, but I sure hope we all end up together somewhere because it's simply a part of me now.

    Thank you to all admins and moderators who try to keep the inmates as cordial and obedient as possible, even though that's like trying to dam up a river with a screen door. 

    When April 1st comes and if I click on my bookmark and the site is gone, I will instantly play The Doors' The End in my head and wipe the tears.... and then go for a bike ride. 

    👍 ❤

  • This is a bummer but completely understandable. Thank you to everyone that helped keep the place running.

    Let me know where all of you old farts end up next 😉

    I have offered to pitch in before too and will do so again. I’m not terribly computer savvy myself but l do own a website and recently worked with someone to modernize it and l’m pretty happy with the results. I can put anyone in touch with my site designer if it helps.

    I do appreciate this forum and the individuals who made and continue to make it possible. I’m willing to step up to help it continue or to help with phoenixing some new digs.

    Just will also note I'm happy to throw some money into the pot to keep this going, presuming it is needed and comes down to cost. I can't unfortunately provide any other level of support but just let me know.
