Patriots Board

Making fun of Giants fans on this site, and dissing site website in general...I found it amusing considering we were just doing the same about theirs.

That "website" is impossible to navigate sober. How can one get a handle on any given thread? Ridiculous!
I make my living as a programmer/analyst. This is complete fail, on every level. No wonder that there are only 5 Super Bowl threads.... it's illogical at its core, and as navigable as the coast of Maine in heavy fog.
At least the jest have the leg up on the gnats in this regard.
Message to jints fans: Somebody out there has *got* to be able to work with a pre-fab php-driven messageboard suite, and can produce something legible or at least better than your current "best". Oh, wait... nevermind. Spelling counts.

10? Only? It's a small step above dos.

I think Ian and co. made better websites when they were 12.

No. I'm just tired of hearing how Myra Kraft has an influence on the Patriots winning. It's nauseating and, quite honestly, a little offensive.
Those people are fucking morons  
Kulish29 : 2/3/2012 11:21 pm : link
'How gay! lulz! Their site doesnt even have the capability to show a stupid fucking animated avatar like our joe cool board does!'
Agreed Kulish.  
Jalapeno : 2/3/2012 11:21 pm : link
Guess the only thing we can do is let our Giants end that crazy talk.
The Pats fans are more arrogant

They're Just Jealous  
JPPyeaUknowME : 2/3/2012 11:37 pm : link
That their site is not part of the USA Today Sports Media Group
I'd be willing to bet that  
Kulish29 : 2/3/2012 11:39 pm : link
a good handful of those moron's Grandmothers/Grandfathers are Giants fans.
someone post CiP's comic strip over there  
JerseyJoe : 2/3/2012 11:48 pm : link
that'll blow up their site for sure
That's hilarious, instead of shit talking the team they've  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 2/4/2012 12:05 am : link
resorted to dissing a website. It'd be so sweet to hold 2 super bowls over their heads. Who needs all that visual garbage anyway. I need to spend time finding a neat little avatar that explains exactly who I am to people I'll never meet. douchebags.

mrvax : 2/4/2012 12:12 am : link
the common vBulletin type message board. It's OK if you like the pretty pictures and fancy signatures used. If you like bells & whistles over content....

Many, many sites use vBulletin.

I love the format here. The so-called programmer-analyst quoted above probably doesn't realize the display of threads are sortable. If he/she did, they would easily find information faster than any vBulletin site.

The HatRack style used here loads much faster also which in turn can support many more users without bogging down the server. I suppose the "programmer-analyst" quoted above is NOT an M.I.T. grad.
Yep, we have a shitty board

can mock all they want, for the content and quality of the posters (except on gameday threads), this site is top notch.

my only complaint about the technology of BBI is that when I'm navigating the site via a smart phone, I can't hit back to get back to the main corner forum site, I have to scroll down into my history to get the link.
Actually,  
yankfan : 2/4/2012 7:22 am : link
I kind of LIKE that format........avatars and ads aside. Having one specific place to post threads relative to the subject at hand is much more preferable IMO. I've always liked that idea.

To each his own, I guess.
They're right  
Bramton1 : 2/4/2012 7:38 am : link
It's just not a good message board unless there are avatars, scrolling text, post signatures, and lots of other crap.

idinkido : 2/4/2012 7:48 am : link
Not trying to pick a fight with you because you are usually a good poster, but that reference involving Myra Kraft was not kind. Myra Kraft was a pretty decent person who stood up against team officials when it came to ethical issues. Go Giants!
Hey....

I wont lie when I first got to this website I thought it was very hard to navigate....turns out you just need to have a brain and an inkling of patience
5 Super Bowl threads,only 5 Super Bowl threads?  
TheMick7 : 2/4/2012 9:07 am : link
C'mon Patriot fans,you have to think we'll have more threads than that. Give us a little credit!
Lay off the Pats fans.

This website, from its name to its design is straight out of 1995. That's why they have trouble with it...nothing existed to them until about a decade ago.
