there's only a couple that i notice being gone...but the one that is missed the most is fireball77.

No one can argue there.

It used to be Zod, Kurb, Nance, Sax, FB77, (liver)Mush, and others posting in here. The Football IQ was extremely high. Hell, even most of the Falcon Trolls were annoyingly up on their football.

Add Skyy, Dimbee, MB, Cooter, Skew and the lot in the other forums as well as us bringing on other teamers like Epi, Hawk and CBDevil throughout and it was awesome.

We got too big and the loudmouths took over. Used to be Kurb and I were some of the most obnoxious posters on here. Now we're usually throwing water on little flame wars.

I'm sadden. You forgot about me. Oh the woe.

A lot of nostalgic huddle talk going on lately...makes me want to go back to my Peculiar Paleontologist name haha

I liked that name.

how to fix the huddle

1.stop personal attacks..mods need to treat this as serious as Goodell does helmet to helnet hits

2.if someone post what you deem as a dumb thread,dont put your 2 cents in and bump it..just ignore it

3.reset rep and only allow rep to be given in the football forums

4.have an exciting offseason and no lockout.

i'm sure there's other things we can do but that would be a good start

If all this came true I would leave the huddle. What kind of place would this be if I could not bash noobs, rep boobs, bump useless threads that were stupid.

Those are my god given rights damn it!!!!11!!

Every group or organization goes thru ups and downs for different reasons... most of the "problem" now is that there is so little that is positive. I've been actively posting on here for about 4 years and you get a sense real quick of who to read and who to ignore. Lately, I will admit that there has been a LOT more to ignore... but like everything, it will get better.

I guess I just don't understand why someone would stop posting because of what others say... I've had my share of arguments and been called plenty of names, etc on here and never once thought to stop posting.

there used to be an old huddle????

as for attacks...I'm more than happy to handle those that do the attacking, but in reality, at the end of the day, pretty much all of us do it to some extent...some think it's fun and games, other think it's annoying...you just can't win sometimes.

Yeah, everytime you attack me I just ignore it and be the bigger man.

easy to have thick skin when you live in an igloo.

This place is just miserable right now. Also, I'm tired of trying to explain to people why they can't fire Fox until the season is over.

To people complaining about the Huddle: You don't like the threads and discussions going on? Then chip in dammit. Make your own interesting threads and partake in some interesting discussions and voila, the Huddle will be better for it. If you think someone is being mean or you don't like the tone of someone's posts, then just ignore them. Not hard to do.

But besides, if you go to any message board of a team with a record similar to us like the Bengals/Bills/Lions, you're going to find a similar atmosphere. Losing sucks and kinda lowers the vibe. Being fans of a team that's literally a national punchline now as seen on The Tonight Show shouldn't make you in the mood for great and friendly conversations on the fan site for that team.

Is this thread about me?

:confused:

whaat, why the Patriots?

These boards do feel a bit different than last year when I first started posting, but that's no surprise with the quality of product on the field.

I expect the forums will bounce back just like the team next year.
