All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Seems like a new breed of posters has infested and are bringing a lot of negative talk. I love to talk Bills but I find it hard to do just that while having to sift through personal attacks and talk about homosexuals in a Mario Williams thread.
The Bills suck and the football season is over with. What is there to talk about besides pipe dreams? It will get better once the combine happens. I'm still sour about this past years embarrassment of a season. My negativity won't start to revert back to optimism until after the draft or the Bills show me the baby in free agency.

While I agree that its the slow time of the year for Bills football, its still no excuse for some of the things that are said.
I Agree 100%! I wish posters would post their thoughts opinions vice links that prostitute this site for theirs. I usually don’t click the link, If you come to this board for a debate fine, but post yours on it!
there is rarely any civility on this forum, I often feel like it populated by dicks who have no social skills
no ability to carry on a civil conversation
it all started with the derisive "lickers" labels and comments and has gradually gone down hill from there.
its the tolerance for that type of post that has led people to become more and more derisive in the last few years
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.
Eh, I just ignore those posts. They are annoying but I prefer how it is now to being over moderated.
"Talk is cheap, we all know that. It's like I've always said, don't tell me about the labor pains, just show me the baby. That's what we've got to do. We've got to show you the baby, and the baby is winning." ~Buddy Nix
It's been like that for a few years... I stop by to get quick peaks at rumors and news, but overall my posting and involvement has dropped significantly

Use your outlets. If you see TOS violations, report the post or PM a staffer. Personally, I haven't been around as much as usual due to personal circumstances but I will make an effort to be around a bit more.
This board is the best Bills board on the net and the staff intends to keep it that way. Use us.
We can't patrol negativity. But we wont tolerate attacks. I have gone through the Mario Williams thread and the guilty parties have been communicated to.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I browse the Bills forum but stopped posting because there's nothing to say. This franchise has given me no hope that they have any ability to get themselves to the playoffs, or even to a .500 record. It has been twelve years without a sniff of playoffs.
I don't care who they are bringing in because it doesn't seem to matter, and really, who worth a damn would want to come here (at least without being overpaid)? It's depressing. Same with the draft - we have too many holes. Our depth is poor. I used to get fooled into being excited by us signing one decent free agent, a draft pick or two, or a scheme change. But it's always one step forward, two steps back. I will always be a Bills fan and watch every game but I will give this sad franchise no benefit of doubt.
