The Falcon Jedi Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The NFL controls this board. That big wide space to the right is going to be reserved for advertisements. Because Roger Goodell and the NFL only care about making money - generating revenue. NFL Season ticket sales are down 3% from last year. THey are going to make that loss up some way, and advertisement endorsements are a way to do that.And it wont matter how much you try to widen the browser window, they made sure that nothing you do will shrink the ad-space on the right. I think all of us attempted to widen our browser window with the hope that the actual Forum width would increase. Nope. And that was done intentionally. They dont want you widening the forum and pushing the Advert area off the screen. So it forces us to just keep the entire browser space on the screen in whole as it is.Evil corporate tactics if you ask me. But effective.

The Falcon Jedi Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 And in a related matter, the NFL is taking control of a new Bucs board as well. They actually shut their old one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 So discussing the place we come TO TALK ABOUT THE FALCONS isnt TATF? I think it is. Because this is where Talking About the Falcons happens. Correct?Im just providing some insight into the reasoning behind what has happened here. Dont bash me for that.

Red-and-Black Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Revolution time. Somebody find one of those free message board site and start us a new one. All good things must come to an end.I dont have the time these days to do those kinds of things. Ive already started looking around though. As much as I have enjoyed all the personalities on here, over the years, I agree that all good things must come to an end. Sad as it may be.It's getting to that point. I am so sick of Corporate bullcrap like this.As annoyed as I get sometimes with you Jedi, this is one of the few times I think your topic and the content of it hit the nail on the head. I too feel that the change was intentional and dont expect it to be fixed. I have done my part and voiced my displeasure, along with a number of other people.Ive pretty much given it until the game this weekend. I am more of a lurker than anything, so its not a huge deal despite the massive amount time ive invested visiting this site. I am not looking forward to finding a new Falcons Forum to hang out at, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont bash me for that.If we are getting technical, you are REALLY talking about the re-design of a forum. There is no Falcons matter in any of this. Nothing about our players, ownership, or community. There really are about 14 other threads talking about the same thing(why the boards were messed with, why they need to be fixed, if they aren't fixed so and so is leaving, etc.) Can't we just keep one of them and quit bumping the rest?

And I am going to speak out about, even though there is nothing we can do to change it. Which irritates me even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
