BDC Ellis Island: Give Us Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses...

[Slasher9]

There are a few BDC posters who left here for BDC because they were banned. I doubt they will be allowed back.

 

as this is my first day posting here i have zero knowledge for what caused them to be banned from this site. our love for the Boston Red Sox can cause "passionate" debates at times. i leave it up to you, the long time talksox posters, and the Moderators to decide whether a BDC shutdown "2nd chance" can be granted to any formally banned members.

 

Question - how do i add automatic signature to my posts?

I have no idea who any of our banned users who joined this other forum are, and I doubt they'll try to rejoin under their original names or anything like them. For my own edification, can anyone tell me who they are? I need to be able to look out for IP addresses and such.

We are not as ban-happy as some other forums. We have a lot of arguments and insulting going on here, but it never quite crosses the line and the people who do it generally otherwise contribute to the board, so we tend to be a little less likely to drop the hammer. It takes a lot to get yourself kicked out of here, so anyone who was already banned is not likely to be allowed back.

Fred, Pumpsie and probably a few others.

You definitely give us a long leash. It's appreciated.

I've always realized that people are people, and they're going to argue and occasionally get pissed at each other. Ted and UN? do, but they both contribute valuable baseball discussion to the board. So do all the rest of you obnoxious- er, all the rest of you guys. There's no reason to go all neo-fascist on you when the very next day it's likely that the same two people who were ready to kill each other are going to be calmly discussing stats. I admit I banned people more than a few times that I shouldn't have (jacko and RSFFL come to mind, though those were reversed), but when it gets too much I try to stick to temp bans. We're a small community. If I banned everyone who insulted someone else or started an argument, I'd have to ban everyone, and follow up by deleting my own account.

Hey Slasher, welcome.

Just above the thread heading, click on Forum Actions>Edit Profile.

You'll see your profile and a list of "edits" on the left.

Edit Signature is one of them.

Ted and I are getting along just fine, thank you very much. My only current nemesis is iortiz, because Papelblows.

If that were the rule, we would have no game threads.

 

Amen to that.

[SoxHop]

Some of the other BDC posters I hope make it over here: JoeBrady, Spaceman, notin, Flapjack.

 

I second that. Those people would bring a lot to this board.

[Kingface]

Hello all! King thanks for starting this thread over here.

to all existing members of this forum - thanks for the warm welcome.

 

i have been posting on BDC forum since 2006 under this same username. it is sad that site is closing after a decade of posting with members over there that have become more like family than anonymous posters. Hopefully most (all!) will migrate over to here and we can see our family grow.

Once BDC finally shuts down (end of May) i will be a daily participant to this site.

 

I will be transferring my season long EE vs RS cernterfielder Slasher Tracker to this site at some point in the coming days.

 

Very glad to see you here Slash!!!! Looking forward to this new place. I tried to log on at the BDC....but it's not letting me over there.....what a *&^%$ mess!!!!! So I guess I wont be able to say adios to the crew. Keep trying to get some of the regulars here: Notin, Bogie, Hill, etc.... The people here have been awesome so far!!

[devildavid]

Another BDC refugee here. I hope there is room down at the end of the bench where I usually sit. I'm good for the occasional pinch hit and solid defensive play.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm going to move this to the Intro Forum for you guys. Feel free to direct any more refugees to this thread to introduce themselves to our community. I will alter the thread title accordingly.

I second that. All are among my faves.

Hi Slash, good to see you and so many other posters from BDC.

Have I mentioned how awesome a moderator you are?

Hi Jack Flap. Are you Flapjack? I'm assuming you are. If so, good to see you.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Have I mentioned how awesome a moderator you are?

 

Yes, several times. However, I never tire of hearing how awesome I am. My ego, like my intelligence, my charm, my wit, my sense of modesty, and Pablo Sandoval, is rather hefty, and like the lush and gorgeous garden of my personality, requires constant maintenance.

Hello everyone!!

[tom-uk]

A good forum needs traffic and BDC had become too quiet for my tastes. I'm hopeful TS will be like the old days at BDC.

[Bellhorn04]

Have I mentioned how awesome a moderator you are?

 

He's awesome, but he might have to be even better than that to maintain order with the motley crew that's showing up here now.

[Jack Flap]

Hi Jack Flap. Are you Flapjack? I'm assuming you are. If so, good to see you.

 

Hey Kimmi...yes, this would be Flapjack. Good to see you as well! I figured if this is where you ended up after leaving BDC, the place couldn't be too bad.

[illinoisredsox]

Made the migration over. Hopefully this will be a bit more grown up and without the "Farkel" and name calling of players that had come to permeate the BDC board. From my brief time looking around, it seems to be.

Yeah, bogey with his Henny Youngman act was pretty tiresome.
