Rev_Hal Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Gang,No one here is more upset with the Supes situation than I am. I'm devistated. I want everyone to voice teir opinion in constrcutve ways that lets the organization know how you feel.But the posts that threated or suggest violence to anyone have to stop. They are borderline criminal, and I do not want the fans to do anything that will result in this board getting shut down for good. Lots of other teams dumped their message boards when they became a headache.I hope that we can CONSTRUCTIVELY find a way to get this situation reversed, but until then, please keep your posts and emails civil. Express your anger, but do not suggest violence towards anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 No violence here. I would just like my 'toons and HSA back which were two of the better parts of this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gritz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Agree.There is no room for even a hint of a threat of violence against anyone........It actually weakens the strength of the protest and righteous anger when someone does that........ Protest loudly, strongly and with persistence, but do it in a way that is dignified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluk Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 man, we need this bye-week to be over soon. we need to move on to "Football". or "Falcons". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Agree.There is no room for even a hint of a threat of violence against anyone........It actually weakens the strength of the protest and righteous anger when someone does that........ Protest loudly, strongly and with persistence, but do it in a way that is dignified.In communication to the Falcons I'd also suggest keeping it short and sweet. The more professional you appear the more seriously you will be taken. It is okay to come across as angry but not ok to appear to be throwing a tantrum.

HouseofEuphoria Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 There are other good Falcons fan boards out there.We lost over 100 regular posters during the shrinkage and influx of ads fiasco, and i feel like this violent slap in the face to fans is going to drive most of the rest of this messageboard away.I imagine Rev, that this would also reflect poorly for the FNCO- as these boards are/were a voice for the organization as much as they are a voice for the fans.You may think not many will leave this time....but i think differently. Am i angry? Yes. Violent? No. Like most fans here i am just fed up.They take away our own messageboard player award????!! To me, that is the last straw. I have never been more excited about a new tradition with the Falcons than the HSA. It was the best thing to ever happen to these messageboards. And now it's gone. No reasons, no excuses, just gone. If people want to be angry. Let them be angry.I hope they tear these boards down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people want to be angry. Let them be angry.I hope they tear these boards down.I am extrremely worried about how the turmoil on this message board is going to affect the FNCO. The support is already way down from last year, and issues like this turn folks off to giving to a Falcons related charity. but the FNCO will go on regardless of what happens here on this message board.

cali_fan420 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Try sending the front office packages of peanuts like they did for Jericho. I am sure they would react if several thousand letters came in, addressed from Falco, all containing peanuts. The only other way is to empty the GA Dome during the Monday night game, but how are you going to get 70,000+ people to stay home that night?

TallDrink26 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I agree. The HSA isnt completely gone yet and we can maybe get the decision reversed but that def wont happen with threats. Can someone Pm me if they have a good suggestion of where to write a cordial email in regards to this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkable Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's troubling to see the aggressive effects these drawings have had on this message board. This angry mob mentality only confirms the concerns responsible adults had about these controversial images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoMax Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 As would I. the HSA just makes no sense whatsoever.It makes me sad sometimes, but the organization does not know its fan base.I wondered if they weren't getting rid of Falco for another reason. Isn't there already a character out there that has probably been trademarked or whatnot with the same name? I know the game "Star Fox" from a popular Nintendo series had a similar character. Maybe they are attempting to avoid any legal issues since our Falco was starting to gain momentum. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vent King Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wow, violent threats? That will only make those powers that be strengthen their resolve against Supes' toons...very counter productive indeed. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
