Here because 247 site is leaving football

I just got in, seems it was scheduled maintenance:

https://247sports.com/nfl/detroit-lions/Board/103102/Contents/Transition-to-Beta-Forum-today-11am-ET-135166377/

Maybe you need to Opt-IN to Beta now? IDK. I don’t really visit often, but in case anyone else still wanted to, there you have it.

Regardless, I hope the new users stick around and give the new home a shot – regardless of whether you keep bouncing back and forth, I’m confident you’ll like the option of a new flavor.

All you are back home, now. The format is different, but, the the posters here are great!

I don’t like change.

Looks like FireMillen05 handle is finally dead.
Nice to see some old faces back here.

This board is hella easier to post links, photos, and videos.

247Sports is not dead yet … but the future does not look promising . Agreed on both being used , I just looked around and a lot of old names are here …good stuff .

Yep, takes a minute to figure out how it works, and frankly, there are a couple quirks that are annoying, but, the tone and quality of conversation are even better than the old Den!
Angry and I go at it the hardest, probably, but, I like him. We agree on most things. He’s just a little dense on others.:rofl:

I was responding to a post and had a link in it. The software gave me a message that said “this link was already posted in XYZ thread by ABC member, are you sure you want to post it again?”

That’s a long overdue feature I never knew I wanted or that it existed.

Oh wow, that’s pretty smart!

One again, who is Nate? I’ve read that he started both groups but have not seen a “Nate” handle…What’s his handle? I’ve asked this a few times with zero response. Is that classified information?..lol

Finally figured it out, thanks!

Yes, Nate is the one that started The Den and he is the one that has kept the group together thru several major changes. And yes, his handle is Nate. He doesn’t post often, so you might not have seen him yet.

Nate saw the writing on the wall with 247 over a year ago and that’s one of the reasons why he created this particular forum…which of course is The Den…because The Den is wherever Nate is…which is here.

For a minute there, I thought you said corn holed.
I thought to myself, I am going to have to have a serious life discussion with my little brother.

I really like the Discourse forum software after getting introduced to it on the Amazon seller forum. It’s pretty slick and easy to use in most ways. The Amazon one is pretty neutered, so it’s interesting to see some of the features that are enabled here.

I’m hoping that 247 just goes away, only because it would be nice if there were just one single community again (I don’t count the nitwits on Reddit).

Return of the (Lions) Jedi.

I’m so happy to find all of you!!! Turfguy23 on old board.

I’ve been like a lost puppy wandering the streets looking for my old pack. The nights were cold, the sun was hot and my kool-aid bowl was empty. But I kept my hopes up that one day may see my ol’ friends yet again.

…seriously…next time don’t let me wander off so far if you decide to change hideouts.
