  1. drinking lots of beer based on what I see on untappd
  2. are you confused? Do you think I had anything to do with this place? I simply came here to talk football with the people who knew what was up, I also kept perusing ourbombers afterwards too because more football talk is always good and I was just trying to tell people where everyone went. I had no stake in anything, I was just conversing with people on these sites as one does. That's the whole reason they exist. All I am pointing out is that Colin got his poor widdle feelings hurt.
  3. ignorant of the definition of ignorance too it seems. Here, let me help, ig·no·rant ˈiɡnərənt/ adjective lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated. "he was told constantly that he was ignorant and stupid" lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
  4. You don't see a difference between people asking where everyone went and other's telling them and using someone else's site to take their members? That's dim, even for you. This is your problem, you have these ideas in your head but you never stop and consider that maybe you are mistaken in what you think. No one said to anyone "hey leave ourbombers for mbb", what the folks who started this place said was "we're leaving for a new site, these are the reasons why, feel free to join us there" Colin tried to silence all mention of this place which is absurb because the entire basis of message boards is conversation and communication between fans of a team, and that communication and conversation does include discussion of other sites. For example, The Extra Point was never censored in discussion there. You see the difference right? Colin was butthurt that his negligence of his site bit him in the ass so he took the petty way out of things.
  5. The only thing he has said is that he's not going to bring gay marriage back into the political arena, but that's more a case of saying they're not going to test fire their loaded shotgun into their foot. Guy is basically Harper-lite in his policies from what I can tell. Social conservative trying to avoid pissing off too many people by going full bore down that road while still throwing some bones to the base that supports you. He really was the status quo candidate, I think he was even quotes saying that the last election wasn't lost because of their policies but rather the way they presented them, so that tells me it's the same old **** the conservatives were doing prior. I personally hope they get their asses absolutely handed to them next time around so they can kick the social conservatives to the back of the line where they should be.
  6. So you do it to get the name out there and make it easy to find your contact info... so again, how is it different than what happened when this site started? People wanted to know where all those posters went, that was the extent of it. You are fighting a losing battle, but in classic fashion instead of slinking away you are doubling down on that losing argument.
  7. Progressive? No, the anti-abortions groups are celebrating his win because he's a social conservative, which are the morons that co-opted the term conservative to the detriment of all.
  8. Some people just want to be ignorant of the country they live in that's their problem. I don't know why someone who is oblivious to the politics of this countries pretty recent past bothers to wander into this thread though, if you don't know about politics why discuss it? Maybe they should stick to link spamming other threads.
  9. The thing about this place is that so many of the people here are not just Bomber fans but CFL fans which leads to less insular thinking compared to some other places.
  10. As a realtor did you ever leave your business cards in houses that other people were selling? Cause I see realtors do that all the time and it seems a more appropriate comparison than the one you're trying to make...
  11. Wasn't it Dave Ritchie who always liked to see guys scrapping in training camp? Showed the competitive fire.
  12. It's a real lame leader here. This is why I hate the ranked ballots. It's hiw Alberta ended up with losers like Stelmach and Redford. When you get compromise candidates as leaders you don't make anyone happy
  13. Riders haven't lost yet so their fans feel emboldened to venture out of their own little bubble. Won't have to wait long for them to scurry back into their holes.
  14. Off brand Harper. Less flash, less smarts, same old policies that were rejected last election. Idiots.
  15. Lapo gonna Lapo. Guy is conservative to a fault unless he's behind and time is running out and he has no choice but to open things up. He really needs to adapt and learn when it's OK to take a chance and when it's OK to play it safe. Sometimes you want to keep your foot on a teams throat and not let them up off the mat.
  16. I always liked cflzone, but it just seemed to stagnate after a while.
  17. either right click on the link and "open in incognito window" or right click on the chrome button and "new incognito window" also,
  18. Yeah the conversations generally went like this: "Where did everyone go?" "Oh there is a new site, those people all post there because they got tired of ourbombers" "Oh really, what's the new site? I have never heard of it" "************* is the address" how dare people use ob.com purely to advertise! for shame people, for shame!
  19. not advertising, holding conversations with fellow community members, the entire point of these message boards.
  20. Yeah except it's not using someone else's site to promote this one, I remember people asking about this place and even in a PM you couldn't get the address through the censors, that's nothing but being petty. I mean it should have been the easiest thing in the world for the established site to maintain it's user base, but there is a reason everyone worth a damn fled that sinking ship.
  21. I don't really care if he reads it, just telling the truth and if people can't handle it then that's their problem.
  22. Now if I am not mistaken didn't Relleon come about as a joke about seeing how obvious you could be and get approved?
  23. and then once people left Colin made the address of this place censored for everyone, even in PMs, cause I remember trying to PM someone the address to this place and they just got a bunch of stars. Bottom line is Colin was an egotist and couldn't handle not being THE Bomber internet message board guru. This is the internet, you either provide something your users want or someone else will do it better and they'll move on to that. Just the way she goes. He never wanted to adapt.
  24. Worth a roster spot as a depth player with the right passport who can fill in for an injury should one occur mid game... but that doesn't make him an extremely talented player. Fact is that the OL got way way better when Neufeld got hurt last year and was replaced, god willing one of the younger guys will show themselves to be better depth and we can rid ourselves of this Kyle Walters pet project once and for all.
  25. I disagree, he is not extremely talented, versatile sure, decent player sure, but he's not the kind of guy you make room for just in case he is healthy.
