New board at SI

[SkenfromLMF]

So I will take my two cent shot here...
It took me a LONG time to try db.com, because how Fish started plugging his site as a member on LMF struck me as really shallow. 

I came to db.com primarily looking for Richard after a TERRIBLE experience on LMF - like personal attacks - in 2006, and I had about 10 years of investment in that community from the time of the DMN boards. The first board change was when the DMN shut down their boards following a bomb threat.

By the time I got there Rings was on his way out (like within a matter of days) and I was in limbo. I stuck with db.com as my primary read but not much of a poster, for a couple of years.

I followed from Yuku to 24/7 and actually had good conversations with Fish, but couldn't follow to SI because it was not what I needed as a board. I don't need Cowboy articles and the SI model rewards Fish for those more so than Mav content.

I am here but I will not go back, and I feel much the same as I did 15 years ago where Fish has made a decision based on $>people. I don't blame him for that now, but I am happy to magickian for having a choice. I would love to go back to LMF but the community is not as vibrant/vivacious or any other adjective that means alive and a LARGE part of that is that LMF and his mods didn't respond when needed going back to the Sportsonly iteration of his board.

All of that to say Thank You to Magick and the mods here who help keep the train on the tracks.
