I'm Coming Home...

And I'll give Riff a +1 on that post. Too bad the big split happened, but it did. As was mentioned, we were close to having the ultimate discussion group, but then personalities got in the way. And as a moderator, not a lot I could do- I do have a life outside of this board, and I flat out don't have the time to spend 4-6 hours everyday reading posts and babysitting here. No reason to be trashing other Board(s). That's a lot of good posters who walked out, and they're missed- the door is still open here for most of them. We're here to talk Browns football mostly, and there's plenty of other forums on this site to debate other topics.
Can't wait for Cal and Shep to get into it again on the Political Forum.

Good job, Riff. I think that smooths everything and puts a cap on it. We're good. Cutting and pasting was probably a little gay-ish, but it's a quote I actually like a lot and stand by for any board anywhere. Bullies have to be leashed, period. Personal attacks have to be nipped.
Left unchecked, all hell breaks loose really fast, because nobody just lies there and takes it.
Nicely done. I think it's good to know that neither Ate nor this board came up much at all over there, and we can now do the same here. Now stay around and shoot the shit.
(And with 1,650 views on this already, I'll try to fade into the background, too. Holy shit.)

I've retired from mod duties both here and there, so I didn't feel an obligation to break up the 2nd Grade scuffles that broke out in a bunch of scattered threads. I did let the moderators know about a couple posts that insulted you personally and professionally, but you're right that I didn't wade into some of the the prolonged back & forths. To be honest, I didn't even read them: why would I be interested in spending my free time on that stuff?
I hope you find this board to be a good home for you. Perhaps you & Zombo can rekindle your bromance by talking about how much both of you liked Jimmy Clausen. Hopefully, the QB debates that infected this board last fall won't recur anytime soon...though your takes on Delhomme & McCoy could ruffle some feathers.
Anyway, I honestly hope you have some great football talk here. I'm just disappointed that you had to trash the other place while making your exit.
anyway, think about this you be adulated for wrong so many times...........I be disgraced for being so right so many times.........you be a football genius for being wrong and I be a complete asswipe for being right,..........
the bottom line things are always about what leadership wants one to be..............
me I see no sage wisdom in you and plenty in me..............
so it is what it is................who rules arrogance and stupidity or forthright statistics and discussion................
the latter is about me,.............NOT SURe what it is your about.........
but please do inform me

btw, ALO I was just busting your chops you posts have always football expertise some the of best that actually expressed a real knowledge of the game. The only thing I said above that was not in jest was the part about "things are always about what Leadership want one to be''
I think Stan learned a lot in recent times and his board is reflecting a good amount of maturity of late.

I rate the mz the pussy/Diehard feud as one of the best I ever have been privy to on a message board (excluding da ich with anybody of course)
Actually, the Iconic feud of old was Zombo vs Atenears on the whole Couch issue from back in 1999. Those two were like hateful siblings clashing over the still warm corpse of their rich and ugly Step Mom.
Then the Rich vs. Zombo feud on whether Rich owes Zombo money (he does) on the infamous Clarrett Bet.
mz the pussy/Diehard was lame, tame, and new compared to these old rows.
And what makes the old feuds more tantalizing? They were about Browns, and all the "your a fag, no you are" crap was mostly in jest, and they would get together and drink a beer at the tailgates and laugh about the funny arguments they had on here.
Shep, I think you are one of the most intelligent and well spoken posters around. You have a view point, and you tend to pound it into the earth till there ain't a speck of dust left. If anyone disagrees with you, no matter how nicely, you post more vociferously, in different language, but still the same message, your point. Then you play the victim card when people jump all over you for it. Calling it like I see it, but who knows, I could be missing the point or blind as a bat, you pick.
All that being said, I'm glad you are back here, and look forward to further discussion about our beloved Browns.

Actually, since this thread is a giant love in and I will participate. Zombo and I never had any bet............and he will attest that or I will rip off his 1/4 inch penis.......love yah thaak and you too Zombo

Wow, this thread is lame. Some of us have no idea what the hell any of you are talking about. I don't even know, or care, about the other site you are talking about, much less some internet fight between people with apparently waaaay too much time on their hands. I hope to hell this thread gets locked, and then deleted............Some of us, and especially I, DON"T GIVE A SHIT.

I don't get involved with all the board drama.....I like the pic in reference to a soap opera.
I like how this board has been running.....good discussion that stays on topic for the most part in threads that remain current because they aren't bumped down by 20 threads discussing essentially the same thing.
Lets keep it that way guys and gals.
In a day or two this drama will wear off. People made their choices..if they choose to come back my hope it is to contribute in a positive manner and not bring the festering BS.....so as far as I am concerned, it's time to let this thread fall to the back pages.

The Browns Board is a great online Browns community, accented by a great hosting Tailgate Party. With longtime members stretched all acorss the planet, and those fine folks traveling in to meet others traveling shorter distances, has been just an outstanding camraderie that I have not see any other online community acheive to as high of degree. Some try to copy the format, but there is only one BROWNS BOARD. This is the Browns online community to be a part of.
Hats off to the many people who have stayed together for many, many, years and made The Browns Board what it is today. Second to none, and with #1 search engine rankings and popularity, this season is going to kick-off the next great five seasons, it is worth being a part of.
Our Big Tailgate Parties this season center around the Jets game in the second weekend in November. We have already heard from many returning groups coming in for most of the early Home games, and all inviting and wanting to share the experience with others for the first time.
Here's to the upcoming Training Camp, preseason, and regular season and the tailgate parties surrounding Cleveland Browns football.
THE BROWNS BOARD ... full body flavor, and an original.

I'm all in, Ate. Anything I said about you on the other board was out of anger for the weird ending. I'm really happy to be back, and in a weird way, it worked out. The guys who haunted me here also followed me to haunt me there... and I can see that it won't be tolerated here.
That's all I ever really wanted. I like starting provocative, fun, polarizing threads that spur conversation. But I never go mean and I never go after anybody.
So... is anybody thinking about the Miami game? I'm targeting that or the opener in Tampa Bay.

I may be coming down for the Miami game, not sure yet though. I was eyeballing the Tampa game but then was remnded how freaking hot it was there in 1999. I see a lot of Browns fans leaning toward make the trip from up here though, so that could be a huge invasion of Browns fans at that game.

My brother-in-law died last month and they live in the Ft. Myers area. The plan is me, my oldest son, my sister, her two grown sons, and one of their wives. And lots of drinking and probably crying, which I hate.

The other board became something grotesque with management supporting some of the worst posters from here who moved over there. I'm in development season and won't be able to post a lot ... but I'm coming back here to see how things are going.
Who from the old gang is here? Zombo? Ate?

Shep,
I'm still here. Not sure that I'm part of the "Old Gang" unless being part of the '80 graduating class of Stow counts.
Glad you're back and extremely glad that Lumberg isn't!!!

Shep I am sorry to hear that. It is always hard on the family. One thing I can add, is it always gets better man.

Damn this truly a love in. Here in Charlotte we host the Browns diss season.........I tink? Anyway Shep is tops, he is a volumatic info machine.......and that is a good thing. The guy just sends it always.
I understand I am hated most Browns boards except OBR. But I am excited that we finally have dumped the Sewage again this time (Savage) pardon the pun.
I commend Stan for hanging tough in the this debacle of boreds.
You woulda thunk the new guys would have made sure they did not make the same mistakes made here...........but they magnified the same mistakes
While Stan and Co masterfully..............defussed the bad blood and made this place way stronger
As John Belushi said ..........."did we give up when Germany invaded Pearl Harbor?"
Nice to see my big time friends Ed, Johnny B, Hoorta, Kathy, and the rest ..................getting it on as always,,,,,,,,,,,
Anyway ED love you man..................and Johnny B just keep rolling...........Go Browns
Thanks Stan for being a real man

You just can't shut up about that other board can you Shep? You need to understand that there is no "same people." There is the same Shep, and the shit that got old HERE, and the shit that got old THERE, is going to get old here - AGAIN. Plenty of people need you here, but when they get sick of your shit they're gonna dump your ass just like the last board and the board before that.
If you REALLY want the last board to go away, quit bringing it up. Quit talking about some horrible experience you had over there. Quit bringing up the "haunting posters" that followed you there.
Leave the past in the past. If you still have to bring it up now, you're NEVER going to let it go. You're in a room full of people here that have less tolerance of your BS than the room you just left. And you know that. Just a matter of time before they tell you......

sage advice. what's good for the goose is good for the gander, eh?
curious, how many times did you refresh this topic today?

Stan, my feeble mind doesn't recall you being at that Tampa game in '99. On second thought maybe I do- seems to involve an episode with a pizza delivery guy that I wasn't a part of.
I was at a Browns Bucs game at Raymond James- Can't remember the year- but I do remember it was by far the hottest game I've ever been at. The bottom line is we have to get Shep and Z in town for the Jets game- and set up a rather large bail fund in case anyone gets thrown in jail Saturday night.

I am a new Browns fan. I didn't know I had to make a choice between the boards on which I would post. I am trying to learn as much as possible as rapidly as possible about the Browns for this season and the foreseeable future. This thread doesn't seem to help me learn anything about the Browns. I hope it is not indicative of what transpires on this board on a regular basis.
