The Detroilions.com Message Boards have been suspended until further notice. Posts consisting of profane and unacceptable language and references were increasing in frequency. In addition to these types of posts, fraudulent posts by individuals announcing that they were someone representing the Detroit Lions organization were also frequently occurring.
Due to the increasing amount of resources required to monitor this situation and because of the possibility of young Lions' fans being exposed to such posts, it was in the best interest of Detroitlions.com and the Detroit Lions to discontinue offering the Message Boards on the team's Internet site at this time.
Message boards are intended to provide a forum to our fans to discuss the many issues surrounding the Detroit Lions and the National Football League. Once individuals use the message boards for such purposes other than to communicate appropriately with other fans about the Lions or the NFL, then the intended values of this forum is no longer valuable to Lions' fans or to the organization.
We appreciate the many fans over the past few years who have been regular visitors and provided posts with great insight, opinions and thoughts about the Lions, and those who have done this appropriately. We hope to be able to resume the message boards in the future.
Thank you
The only question that comes to mind is why were you even on a Lions message board.
didnt the same thing happen to the panthers board?
And we're the worst fans in the NFL? :-D
That's a great sig Waco! :yay

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. If those were the criteria for shutting down every message board the EMB would be shut down every 45 seconds.
Notice how they use "the children" as an excuse to shut down their boards?
Laughable. Just like the Lions.
:-D
Their moderators were girly men, like their quarterbacks.
philly and detroit=two best sports towns in the country
geez...just get 12 moderators like EMB... :P
As soon as they bring it back up we should send over an envoy armed with the pedophile jokes from last week.

Not sure about the Panthers, but the Dolphins shut theirs down last year for similiar reasons after the RW fiasco. I believe it's still down.

Boston is a way better sports town than Detroit. Detroit is full of bandwagoners. Ask the Pistons.

No way. The best hockey town, sure, but support for the other teams is very half-assed. They couldn't even manage a good arson (Detroit's preferred method of celebration) when the Pistons won it all. No comparison to Philly, from someone who's lived in both markets.
I dunno dude. It's been so long since there's been a title in Philly, I don't know if we'd even remember how to properly set an entire block on fire.
First you call the police ...
In reality why would anyone be surprsied at this?
I think it's safe to say that when we first got our computers the majority of us surfed into official message boards of every team in the league.
After awhile we got fed up with the iceholes, shtein heads, and just plain retards who infested those sites.....that's why we're posting in places like this (and other F2F sites).
Maybe if the people in charge of the official sites used a little common sense in running those places they wouldn't be the sewers and jackass magnets that they've become.
As one who hasn't posted on anyones official site (including the Giants) in over two years I can't recall any one particular one that's worth going to. Although I have to say the original Eagles site from about 4 or 5 years ago was a cool place to hang........

Same thing could be said about this place. For one reason or another we keep letting Giants fans in here. :P
From the:
"You'll Find The Asian Porn In Here" thread found in the General Section.......
Why I'm Here: FCC Regulations........Rule 683, Sub-Section 3, Paragraph c: Each and every message board (henceforth known as "mb") of the Philadelphia Eagles must have one fan of the New York Giants allocated within said mb........RES: Reality Check

The Giants fans have been here longer than most.
