There doesn't seem to be enough traffic to warrant its continued existence.

The More Sports Board on TigerDroppings enjoys Braves discussion for those Braves fans on here:

Hmmmm. I dunno man. The Falcons have sucked so not much traffic there. There was a decent bit when the Hawks were in the playoffs. If the Braves can make a playoff push, it'll heat up more... but, you own it.

Just send us the folks you ban from Saints Talk/MSB/etc.


We don't mind being a penal colony for a while while we build

Raises hand. Chicken and others loved when 28-3 happened but after the Minny Miracle, they couldn't handle when I and others laughed hysterically. I got banned almost instantly.

It would be a shame, as this is a nice "safe haven" from the toothless Braves fans that come out of the woodworks to support the perennial "Blue Flag" Braves but immediately throw darts at the Hawks & Falcons, despite it's the exact same city...

If money is the issue then you can just give me an NIL deal, Chicken.


I have no qualms with being a corporate shill.

Chicken,
You should probably also shut down the NO Saints board too. Looks like half of the team already has this offseason.

frickING ZING!

Morale post to rally the lads around building this board up:

Everyone loves to clown about the sports curse in this city, but here are our recent runs:

ATL UTD: Champs in 2018

Atlanta Braves: One win away from a WS, and maybe one Duvall injury away from a title

Atlanta Hawks: Young core that carried us to an ECF and had us in the championship picture. No telling what happens if Trae doesn't roll up on that ref. Huge things from them in the years to come.

Atlanta Falcons: Rough few years, but they've played in 2 NFC title games and 1 Super Bowl in the past decade.

We've sucked dong recently, but it's not like we have lived in the basement since Ryan got into town.

We're down right now, but when we're on... We all gon eat

True but the point is that there are not enough people wanting to chat about ATL sports.

Sure there is, just maybe not on a site that’s more Louisiana/LSU/Saints based

So it’s settled. We’re keeping the board. Sorry we have day jobs and don’t wear tinfoil hats like the OT/Poli board and don’t generate as much foot traffic.

Go Falcons, Go Hawks, Go Braves, frick the Saints.

I’m all for having it.
But I posted at 3 something on the 13th. Since then there has been 3 total posts and the site went 23 hours without a single one.

If it’s not costing you guys any money what does it hurt to have this board?

This is kinda my thought as well. There are times when this board is more active. NFL season is upon us, NBA will be back in the fall. The Braves are doing their typical string you along and make you believe while in your heart of heart you know they're not built for anything substantive, particularly without Acuna.
