:greetingsearthling: So my name is Bryan. I'm a NFL fanatic! I am a fan of a lot of teams. Of course I watch the Cards more as I live in AZ, but I am still a fan of Seahawks and others. So I hear that it has been stated I am a hands off owner, nope. I am very active. I post quite a bit and am on the forums alot(especially during game days!). I enjoy forums, and I enjoy talking sports.

So the first thing I will be doing for the .NET is updating the forum software. It will not be phpBB any longer. It will be updated to the latest Xenforo software. If you have been on any other forums, those forums are probably running on XF. The look of the site, colors, logo, images, will still be the same, but it will be different due to XF working differently than phpBB. Alot of you will probably not like it at first, but please give it some time as most end up enjoying alot of the new bells and whistles that come with it.

Sorry, but phpBB is just so outdated and not the greatest when it comes to mobile friendliness.

If you have any questions for me, please post them here as I would be happy to answer them.

You had me at the alien greeting emoji.

Welcome Bryan! I hope you find this community a rewarding return on your investment. 24 years and counting with the support of you and those before you, it remains the best Seattle Seahawks fan forum on the interwebs.

If I can help in any way, don't hesitate to ask. Go Hawks!

This sounds promising already.

Hi Shaggy. Thanks for taking this on.

I started lurking in around 2002. Posting in 2005 in the Net Nation 12 days (few here will even remember that). And being a frequenter not long after that.

Ha ha, I see your sig with a gofundme link to help keep .NET up and running. Who's getting that money raised so far? I'll send you over my paypal or bank account info. :p

Yes, thank you for taking on this project. All I can offer is to do my best to create readable and interesting posts that promote meaningful discussion, and the occasional corny joke. Ray :2thumbs:

I figured the phpBB platform would go. XenForo is much more user-friendly, particularly for posting images and other attachmants.

Nobody likes Canada.

I hope the new owner bans Canadian users.

That said, I welcome new ownership and may even throw a few bucks your way if you fix the Radish game forum.

Fill me in on that? What's wrong with the forum?

The original game day forum was labeled as the Radish memorial game day forum as a tribute to the most beloved member in the history of this site.

Wen changed it for no ******* reason whatsoever. Many money paying members actually left after he ignored the protests.

Edit to add :

I don't know how long you've been around here, but Les (Radish) was the heart and soul of this place. Todd created it, but he made it a community.

Wen did not care about his legacy.

Radish was Les who used to lead off every game day forum with commentary. He passed away from heart problems and about a year later the forum title of "game day" was changed whereas Radish was sent to an archive forum that no one now reads.

He was like our Hall of Famer. That's why I think the game day forum should be renamed the Radish forum.

Whoever Jameson Wick is. A previous owner, I guess? I'll delete it. If you have a new fundraising drive, make sure to share it.

I have an account there, same name, no posts. If you know me at all it would be from Hoopla. There aren't a lot of Rams fans there.

Welcome Bryan. A lot of good people here and looking forward to seeing the improvements. I have to admit, The Radish game day forum was and should be returned for our Ring of Honor Les.

Shaggy, seeing as you are the owner of this site, I think your user name should be Shaggy Main.

As a name he has the right one for the best answer in the history of answers.

"it wasn't me"

Can you please ban Cyrus12 Shaggy? He's racist and hates Native Americans as well as Tom Hanks.
