More we use the more we realize what a crappy site bdc was. This one is very good and the navigations on long threads is so much better and faster too.

Nice to see so many familiar names.
I've kept my handle but changed my avatar. Now if I could only figure out how to enlarge my type face to make it easier to read. But otherwise I like the format.
GO PATS!
Oops, just figured it out!

Please share. Right now I do a couple of ctrl-+ in order to increase everyone's font. It would be nice if everyone's font size were a little larger (for the old guys like me  ) |

Pages load faster as well. Nice clean look. Easy to use and navigate. This should be a painless transition.

BDC was a technical embarrassment. I'm only surprised they stuck with that dysfunctional dinosaur as long as they have. And the actual administration of the place was even worse than the technology. Those people were some real certifiable morons. Their word filter was the most pathetic thing I can recall ever seeing on the internet. I remember a few times trying to use a word like "snatch" for its intended purpose only to get their idiotic warning message. The list of stupid words they filtered was endless. They even started to filter acronyms. I told them GFY and within a day that was filtered, LOL. Why they had a problem with "Go find yourself" is a mystery  . |

Amazing. If you make a typo on your thread title you can edit and fix it. If only BDC had that incredible technology!!!

Clearly BDC does not endorse self-actualization. |

Hey Folks! Back again. Tragic news about Ron Brace. Prayers out to his family and teammates at BC. I'm on here to say that this site is real user friendly so far. Heck I even decided to step out and post an avatar. Anybody guess what it is? One thing I'd really like to see on this site and that is the return of Z. Gosh, he was such a valuable resource during the Dark Days of the Wells Report. I think just about everything he said was spot on. If he is reading these days, A HUGE SHOUT OUT for your efforts and I/we hope you are well.

This site is technically and functionally superior to BDC and it should be. This is a purpose-built forum site that does nothing else. |

YES!!! The Admin Administrator nailed it. That is Janis Joplin's custom Porsche Cabriolet. One lyric that bangs constantly bangs around my head is:
"Lord when you gonna buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches I must make amends...". I didn't known until 2 months ago that she owned a Porsche! True story. In high school my friends and I, piled in car and saw Janis and Big Brother and the Holding Company on tour in about 1968 at Norwood Arena(maybe). It was an awesome show, replete with her haunting melodies and soulful primal screams. We knew she used to perform with a bottle of Jack Daniels but whatever, she was great! Pardon if I got the venue wrong, but the arena was somewhere in the South Shore where an AHA hockey team also played. It was dark and dingy but that just enhanced to booming voice of Janis.
This may not have anything to do with the Pats. My bad.
