Thank you for that, devestata. We are actually brand new, as you may be able to tell by the number of members ...but 77 new members in just three weeks is pretty good, actually...spread the word!

No, actually it is cooking for a new board! We are going to strike 100 members soon, and this board has only been up for 2½ weeks!
This is a great site. Good basketball talk and lots of people on it

I'd credit that to a lot of hard work -- from TBF recruiting, from Ron getting things up and running, From Retro and BCH's technical work, TR's work with the mods, and so on.
I'd also credit the fact that we a re serious about maintaining an atmosphere of respect and an atmosphere conducive to mature discussion of sports. Sometimes that dedication ticks people off in the short run, but in the long run, it makes for a much better atmosphere than other boards. And it chases the immature, the trash talkers, the trolls, etc. away, just leaving the good posters.
Thanks to one and all for being a part of this board. Its a lot of fun, isn't it?
