LiterateStylish Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I am tired of being labeled as the "owner". The site is for sale to a person who: 1) Has the financial resources to not only pay the purchase price but ALSO pay the monthly bills (Approximately $100 per month). 2) Cares about owning a piece of a Buffalo sports history. Private Message me for further details, if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipKat Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Ned an ownership group that can take this to the next level, for real. It's too much for one person Quote “There he goes.

It's a good idea - this forum represents a professional football team. The team that doesn't have an "official" site and only one competitor - that isn't even well liked or well run. A site that attracts people from other teams by marketing itself as the premier online destination for the Bills should be too much work for one person. And it should take full advantage of the software that's here now. And it should take an group of committed owners that are able and ready to make the financial commitments to keep it running. Obviously, there would take a little more moderation, guys like me wouldn't be allowed with calling others members cock-sucking faggots anymore, but it wouldn't have to be overly strict and moderated like the BBMB was. Hell, that Patriots forum is busy as hell and they still say fuck! lol Donations could open up private forums - like politics that the larger group of members don't care to see. That how the Satelliteguys forum works. You have to donate yearly and request admission to the politics section (They have a NSFW section too) and it's still one of the most active parts of the site. And moderated. I can't call-out Trump supporters for being fucking idiots, but I can say something like "You seem to belong to the group t hat make up his base that unreasonably support everything he does...." Lofty goals, BUT I've seen some forums achieve those goals and by taking in public donations, become profitable. Now, how cool would that be? Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

Lol, after Lit finally became a man of the people, like his first couple of months as "Admin", which Daryl called legendary! This is why I can enjoy my position of "Range Insider" before I retire. People can benefit of being taught of the legends! Truth be told, Lit did improve the Shoutbox by banning CBennett for a few minutes to get him to calm down has over the top negativity, which led CBennett to self-ban, which is something I've done before too(without needing to get banned first). If I remember, I will work with Meat to help deliver a new TOS....like the so called "New Testament" of the Bible, which was supposed to replace collection of writings called the "Old Testament", which Jesus didn't seem to care much about other than to defend himself from, if readers paid much attention. In that spirit, we intend to deliver a TOS that works for the people, not against them! I advocated to get Jungle back, and even am avocation to get ChinaBills another chance after all of his time served! Golden Rule, you SOBs! Quote Andy did you hear about this one?-REM .

WhiteRabbit Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I remember being one of the admins back in the early to mid-00's. It wasn't easy -- def not a one-man job. Hope y'all can get this place going again -- looking forward to coming back as a member. I do check-in once in a while :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do check-in once in a while :) (this actually deserves it's own thread, and if it doesn't get much traction here, I predict there will be one ;)) (EDIT: not sue why I bother to put this kind of effort into Making the Range Great Again[tm], being I'm not sure if anyone reads these, but I am guessing you probably will when you return, and one person is worth it to me) The sooner the better. I have no idea what your political or Bills leanings are, and would already like to nominate you as a new mod(so that I am not accused of nominating for the wrong reasons) due to your experience, especially when the board was much more busy. To my knowledge, we have 3 mods right now. 1)Victor is RARELY here anymore....I'm talking gone for months at a time, and very brief posting during cameos. 2)Meathead -a good man, takes a fairly balanced view of things(minus Trump), and also has good understanding of the board's owner and has his respect, I think...which on this board is more important than most.. Generally speaks strongly against censorship, but a very hot temper that is pushed over the top at times from being in great pain, which I am guessing most people could understand. From his own public words(not me spilling anything said in confidence), and also has stated that he could be continuing his journey to the next chapter of existence(my words, not his) at any time. Let's appreciate the man while he is here(and really everyone), but also it's too much to ask much of him.... -he also has expressed his frustration when we ask him for help that he only has been given "baby powers", and there is only ONE person we can ask for help, the board's owner: 3) Lit. - (is a description required?) ....well, since WhiteRabbit(great name. AWESOME song, by the way!!) hasn't been around in ages, I don't know if Lit was even a mod when he was here, let alone owner. Lit's really upgraded the price and done textbork work on increasing the sales value(though I have been the one person to bust his balls about some of the methods being detrimental to current members, such as the 12 bot threads a day that don't get any replies....even used to offer to replace them on my own and do so...). Lit has hardly been posting lately, and I am surprised. Essentially, it seems there is NO ONE MODERATING AT ALL, so basically anything goes, including some of the most hate-filled posts that make ChinaBills(banned for life due to a comedy act of very non PC taste that mocked other races) look mild in comparison, with actual HATE and RAGE directed at other members. Not necessarily a knock on Lit, he says he runs a business, but he did used to participate more. Observationally, I think he does prefer to have a mod or 2 to do the routine work, which makes sense....but I don't really like bothering the guy being he often ignores me when I ask for something in the best interest of the board....though I often defend him when I see folks coming at him in numbers without a decent reason. I'm not a fan of bullying. *I was once a mod too, but other than one day(the day I got banned for it for 1 erasure of a personal attack OP in the Bills section, and 1 "warning" issued to Wagon Circler for some of his more hateful posts), I basically just worked hard contributing at least 5 Bills articles per day. Rather thankless job. I got banned from it due to 1 person raging and threatening to ban himself unless Lit banned me for the 1 erasure(which they claim to somehow remember as more). I can even kind of remember the avatar of the guy who made the thread, though not his full screen, as it was a much more pesonal event to me than that one person and the other guy who agreed with him because he doesnt like me. WR, I hope you are back soon.....and Lit, if you ever read this, I think it might help your resale value to have a mod or 2 keeping some sort of order here. I notice there are even spam threads in this section now....and not even of the usual(overtly, anyhhow) Vietnames variety. :) Quote Andy did you hear about this one?-REM .
