I was a moderator on BBWC for some time, but many never really knew a lot of the behind the scenes back stabbing that went on over there, especially from some of the people at the top. There was a definite conflict of interest, especially as some just desired the power and never really knew what to do with it. While some of us petitioned to limit the people there and the quality of what was being put up, others didn't think that way, and just wanted numbers, of posters, of hits, of members. When Rich approached me, Kevin and Brian about starting a new board and breaking away from BBWC, we were all on the same page. We talked and talked about what we wanted in the new board and we were all on the same page. WE approached several other long time BBWC members about helping out and away we went. From then on, there was no looking back. We did struggle at the beginning, trying to get the word out to older members of BBWC about this new place, and we were rebuffed many times. But, with hard work, and word spreading, we were able to make this place a great place to be. And the rest is history. We will never get the numbers most of the other boards get, but who cares. We are among friends here, where we share much more than just being Giants fans. We may not agree on many things, but we do so as we would want others to do with us, with class, with understanding and being always able to listen to the other guys opinions.
The mods have talked many times about expansion, and we are all for it, but in moderation. Every new member has to be approved and cleared, and in all the time, since this place has existed, I think we have only banned 4-5 people. Maybe once guys are surrounded by great people, that sort of rubs off on them.
Thank YOU all for making this place exactly what we envisioned when we started it up.
