Re: MAJOR SITE ANNOUNCEMENT
I’m not sure I have ever posted on this site, but it’s full of my favorite people from the old Extremeskins. I saw the “we are closing” email and wanted to pop over and tip my cap. Wonderful work, and best of luck on the journey ahead.

Sorry to hear this, but we still can carry our discussions together in our thoughts.
Won’t forget the time spent here.
Let’s hope the next few months leads is off in a direction of hope.

My Lord! I can't believe no one has suggested some sort of get together. Perhaps a tailgate next year. If I recall, most of us provided an e-mail address when we registered.
I debated whether or not to respond......not explaining why. Suffice to say, above and beyond the Skins banter, I crossed paths with Boone and OM early on in their journey through the dark byways of on-line sports communities. Can't recall the forumn. I rememner characters like Art and his "swarm". It was fun for me to watch Boone's journey fulfilling a dream. I too was a refugee from the ego driven blowhards at ES. Some of the sharp edges were a residual carry-over from that site - for which I inevitably served my time in the BGO penalty box. But Boone, a better man than most, welcomed me back to his cyber house with dignity and kindness. And that, above all else, will be my lasting memory.
Thank you Boone. You tried to manage human behavior, sometimes successfully, because you had to to maintain a culture of civility and respect. You provided vistas into your life and how you looked at the world. We got to watch you reveal your emotions. You provided a platform for us to share ours.
Bravo Zulu my friend! You made our lives richer (even if we made yours poorer...pocketbook wise that is). A respectful hat tip to you.

Re: MAJOR SITE ANNOUNCEMENT
Goodbye, everyone. I still post over at Extremeskins if you want to say hello, even though today is the first (almost) full game I've watched in three years. I just got into the habit of not watching and my quality of life didn't diminish. Sad to see this place close but with Twitter and reddit and the main site still operational, it seems like the end of the age of multiple fan message boards.

Re: MAJOR SITE ANNOUNCEMENT
You all have amazing dedication. I have been a fan of the team for as long as I can remember, but at ES and of course here I've always found some great conversations and discussions about the team, which has given us all something good to come out of our fandom. That is a good thing, and after ES started to show some cracks like a house settling maybe a big too much over time, it was nice that you all started this site. As others have said, you are owed at the least a thank you, and a lot of appreciation for everything you did to keep this site not just running, but frankly a great place to catch up and engage in good discourse on a whim.
Thanks for everything you have done, sincerely.
