I agree there will be fans to talk to.
If anything, there are way too many Cowboys discussion forums, and that's why I liked USENET, despite the trolls and OT posts. It was the ONE place you could go for deep discussions. Social media is a joke, but it's the latest "shiny" object on the Internet, and like USENET before them, discussion forums seem like old news in comparison. Good luck in your search for an alternative Bills board.
For Cowboy fans, there are two boards that are the recognized best, and now those are the only two I frequent.
Organizations are so caught up in "the social thing", they think social media is a substitute for a discussion forum -- it isn't.
I'm a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and there are many discussion forums about the Cowboys (maybe too many). If the Cowboys ever shut down their discussion forum, it wouldn't be any great loss. But I feel the pain of Bills fans. An enterprising Bills fan could open his own forum, but how would he alert other fans?
It is a sad trend, which started twenty years ago when ISPs decided to drop their support of USENET (the original discussion forum).
Thanx for doing this. I'm another IMDb refugee, and I've looked at several alternatives, but none of them were satisfactory. I wanted an IMDb clone, and it looks like I found it!
