wbbfan Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Since the chat room problems of the previous season GD chat has been diying. Not being able to ignore in chat makes it worse. Should just roll gdt and dump chat at this point imo. It's almost dead any ways. Mark H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 It really is too bad. Chat was better than the GDT but wbbfan is right, it's dying. wbbfan and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 The chat room was fun only so long as there were a dozen or so participants. When it worked, it was a good deal more immediate than the GDT. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSkunk Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 GDT is better than chat if you want to just catch up with the comments during a commercial break. I found watching the chat screen just to stay current with the conversation actually took away from watching the game. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBBFanWest Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Ya, know, if you youngsters all just learned morse code, we could have a great game day chat (atmosphric conditions permitting). Not only that, but you'd learn a skill that looks really good on your resume (in 1965) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal optimist Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I have used the chat function twice, both times the Bombers ended up losing. As a superstitious statistician, I could not at this point allow for it to become a trend and ceased using it thereafter. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few years ago we'd have lots of people participating then suddenly it stopped?? I enjoyed the live banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 a couple of shitty posters ruined it, basically. It's not a fun place to be anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really too bad as it was fun. The thing I liked is that you could have a disagreement with someone but it wouldn't be there for all to see months later. And arguments usually were dealt with fast as the game would continue on & something else would happen. Also there was a feeling of all us wanting the Bombers to win with the group. We as Bomber fans were in this together. Edited August 27, 2020 by SpeedFlex27 Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as Bomber fans were in this together. I agree. I'm not gonna get into a whole thing, but as has been mentioned before, this whole place got shittier when Jets Fans Who Aren't Really Bombers Fans discovered the place and kinda took over, and ask all sorts of ridiculous and inane questions, and post things that really don't jive with the original core crew of this place. But.......that's just one grump old man's take. wbbfan and 17to85 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair it's really only one of them. And one other person. Basically 2 people ruined the chat. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
