Thoughts on Official Bengals message board


Bobcat Bengal

What do you guys think of that board? That's if you even frequent it....

I'm a member and I don't post there that often.....I don't necessarily care for the attitudes and behavior of the majority of the posters.

I think some of the moderators are douchebags though....I couldn't imagine B24 acting like that at all....or even some of the moderators on this board.

A moderator I believe has to be a little more mature, responsible and level-headed than most, but maybe its just me.

West TX Bengals fan is an awesome poster though....I mostly go just to read his stuff (and view the arguments and laugh).

Thoughts? Comments?

I have looked from time to time, but never posted. There seems to be more than an average amount of homers there and when called on it, they are frowned upon. I like the conversations here and the fact that members bring such a diverse opinion to the boards. Not only that, but I've been here for so long, that going there feels like I'm cheating on Bengalszone !!! We know who brings the better product !!!

WHODEY !!!

Sorry, I never go there.

I went there once.

I regretted that one time.

Never been back.

I went there one time before I found the 'Zone here, and Marvin Lewis had arrived. I made one post critical of Mike Brown, and suddenly it was like I kicked Mother Theresa down a flight of stairs. Never posted again either. Wayyyy to many of these folks:

Bizarre. I didn't know Mikey had that many fans. Especially before Marvin got here.

Everybody I know in Cincinnati (who has an opinion on the matter) thinks he's an imbecile.

i am not into blantant homerism. and that is what I have heard about that other forum.

I'm over there quite a bit. I like it because (as some here noted) there are posters there who are excellent and worth reading. I do feel I get a more "mainstream" (maybe you can call it "homer") Bengal viewpoint probably due to the fact that it's the "official" Bengals message board. That's ok with me.

Just figured I'd stand up and defend the board since nobody else seemed inclined to do so...

I think I may have visited that site a couple years back when I first started looking around. For me, I enjoy this site better because, on a consistent basis, it gives me the opposite of what I experience in Pissburgh ... fans ... critical ... but still fans ... not afraid to bring the bad with the good ... thick skinned ... no excessive gloating ... folks who simply seem to enjoy a great sport, win or lose. Real people ... that's the way I like it.

I browse the official forums on occasion, nothing wrong with them. It's all about what you're looking for in a group. If you want a lot of "Who-Dey!" you can find it there, or to a somewhat lesser extent at go-bengals.com. The zone and cincybengals.com seem more middle-of-the-road to me. And if you're pessimistic you can go with mild (bengalsjungle.com) or volcano heat (mikebrownsucks.com) varieties.

It's all good.

I visited the most official of sites just once, and made no strong first impressions, good or bad. I simply didn't return because I don't have the time, or feel the need, to post my thoughts on more than one message board. In fact, I lurk at Go-Bengals on an almost daily basis but never post because they rarely discuss anything over there that isn't also being discussed here. So any active involvement requires me to endlessly repeat myself....which I do enough of already.
