I wouldn't be surprised if there's some people on here who have legit made love to bacon.

Out of curiosity, what makes you say that? Something big happen recently? Well, besides them disabling the ability to link pictures.

Here from CBMB too. Aug 27 they are launching a new website and moving the forum to Facebook, which is bullshit.

Looks like I'll be here from now on.

Hold on, let us sweep aside the piles of beer cans and porn...

There we go, grab a seat. Just keep it on the plastic.

As someone who spends entirely too much time on facebook, I can say I would give my left nut to have some of those communities in a format like this. I'd probably have a breakdown of some sort if this place went away.

To all the new members, welcome to BFO.

You've been trying to give that nut away for three years!

CBMB refugee here too

. Loving the board so far hopefully this board can suck in more people. Thanks for the boards by the way.

Hello, Im yet another refugee of the CBMB. Very nice easy to navigate forum you've got here.

DougDascenzo · Mon Aug 20, 2012 6:49 pm

Name: Scott
From: Shakopee, MN
Bears fan since: As long as I can remember, grew up watching Bears games with my grandma in her living room as a little kid.
Misc: Came over from CBMB. Site looks solid, will give it a go. I've been out of Illinois since I was 16, force to live in WI by my parents and then lured to MN by my wife. Like to hit the forums so I don't have to explain to Packers and Vikes fans why I hate their teams so much.

Welcome aboard, and yes, screw those Packer bastards. The Vikings play football in a concrete toilet with a balloon top, so I can't truly despise them; at least not like I did when they have Favre.

Another newb refuge from the CBMB! Nice looking board ya'll have here! Been a Bears fan since before Urlacher was born! I survived the Abe Gibron years and some before then! Thanks for having me in your home!

Welcome aboard, Buzzwinder! You've, as they say, "seen some shit!"

It must've sucked watching Gibron constantly pull his pants up all those years, but you saw the resurgence of The Beloved.

I'm a young idiot, and wasn't even 1 year old when the Bears won in 86, so I'm hoping this year they take the crown once more!

I guess you could say I am a CBMB refugee as well although it's been a while since I posted there. Got tired of the BS. Imagine my surprise when I thought I'd give the old board another shot. Looks like it shot itself. So I checked out some of the other boards and Bears Fans Online seemed to be the best. Looks like So I guess you guys lost. lol

And my stats:
Name: DownstateDan
From: Peoria, Il
Age: 60
Bears fan since: 1962
Favorite food: food
Favorite drink: Dos Equis XXX
Misc. I love me some Bears football and feel as good about this team as I did in 1985.

now I'm going to watch MNF

downstatedan · Mon Aug 20, 2012 7:04 pm

Can a mod move this to Introduce Yourself! - I'm an idiot.

Mon Aug 20, 2012 7:04 pm

Welcome aboard, Dan!

PS: I'm gonna move this on over to the "introduce yourself" thread

But again, glad to have you here!!

thanks for this info, the home theme is definitely way more easy to read then the CBMB but the away theme is perfect for my old crappy eyes

Thanks - it's been awhile since I've posted on any board. I was so excited I hit the wrong button. Sounds worse than it really is..............
