What's Your Username on other BlackBerry forums?

lanarjf

I recognize some of you from that other forum- but some (like me) have a different name here. Would you mind identifying yourself? BTW- I was maddie1128 "over there". 8-|

I'm the same here as I was "over there". In any case, I love the growth the forums have experienced over the last few weeks.

I'm still me... but I sure do like this forum... it grows on ya. :)

MissoulaMarinerFan

Same username here as I am over there...and, I still go over to the other site, but I usually don't say much there, because usually someone has already said what I was going to say

Same name same fame...
but I don't go "over there" anymore. Booted for loving and defending blackberries too much, I guess that makes me annoying... was mutual - wanted it asked for it got it...got tired of being attacked by a pack of dogs anytime I said anything positive about blackberries.. of course I did my share of attacking back..

Much nicer here :) this is the kind of community I was fighting for.

I don't miss it, other than alot of friends and good people that also got booted or left because of the toxic atmosphere caused by the tolerance (even encouragement) of enemies of blackberrys and their fans. I hope they find their way here.

joski

I've got the same name as the other place but a much better attitude here due to the great vibes at N4BB! :)

Virmaline

I'm Tõnis. I spent a lot of time there (over 3,000 posts), received numerous "infractions," multiple bans that ranged from 24 hours to one week, and a final permanent ban. I'm happy to be gone from there and happy to be here. ;;)

StephenBB81

StephenBB81 has been my twitter name, and a variation of it has been my Globe&Mail, Engadget, iMore, WPcentral,for quite some time.

over at Crackberry I still actively post as deRusett, though StephenBB81 is in my signature

Anthony

I was anthogag :-\"

That other site is a cesspool of mediocrity. I still believe they have professional trolls at that site.

I'm enjoying not reading countless threads about the demise of RIM and the ever popular death spiral...way too many treads about leaving BB for another brand

OMG I thought I'd get away from you here :(( :))

Exactly! There was a point before when I was banned and it actually sucked. Now, I'm relieved to not open a thread with high hopes and good intentions only to have my penis ripped off by dink-trolls. Kinda like the guy from Planet Terror who collects balls.

Just joined today on a recommend by BJ. Now I see why he recommended it. And I'm happy to see some familiar names and faces. It's good to see a more positive attitude here.

Toodeurep

Good to see some friendly and familiar faces. I look forward to learning from and sharing with all of the members here.

Brett Chandler

I'm... me :)

Hey rotor - welcome to the club!
Bring your friends...sorry about jafo but she's uncontrollable and those scissors scared me.. I forgot to warn you. My bad.

It grows on ya and it's growing! A bit slower than the crackhouse, but give it time and make as many contributions as you can and invite your friends, make suggestions to improve the site, so far @Lucas has been paying attention to all of them and incorporating them at the speed of light...soon this will be the place to be. Like it or not I've taken up permanent residence. The old residence is on the market.

A much better structure here, mostly because WE get to decide who the trolls are, not the iron-fisted authoritarians on power trips.

belfastdispatcher

Still the original and the best, belfastdispatcher :p welcome to our new home.

lanarjf

Wow @you all!!!! I am glad to see so many familiar faces! I agree with everyone that having the power to actually DO something about the trolling is an awesome thing here. Over there you don't even have the ability to "dislike" someone's trashy posts. So frustrating. I read the home page there now and then but don't like going into the forums unless I am looking for a specific solution to a problem and google sends me there.
Well- carry on and let's make this the BEST BlackBerry forum there is! I don't mind calling a spade a spade- but trashing a brand you supposedly like and want to see succeed, well that doesn't make sense to me.
:-h

Blackjack93117

^^^^AMEN @lanarf!!

Trashing a brand you supposedly like and want to see succeed, makes about as much sense as shooting yourself in the foot!

No such luck rotor... and I can still *giggle* here too! FEAR ME .. =)) :P

CrackBerry is still in business? Really?

I haven't gone there since I had my BlackBerry 8320 with T-Mobile way back in 2007. They weren't the greatest bunch back then either.

Phanatic

No offense to anyone who was there at the time of course :P

8320 was one of the best BBs ever, that's was my first too back in 2008 if I remember right, maybe even earlier.

Lance

I was/am lnichols, which for most people was read as inichols (Guess I should have used a capital L). I saw the banning of people who are sick of having the trolls run the show over there, saw that most of the good news is broken by N4BB anyway, and saw this site picking up and joined. Since the other site wants to protect the iFans and Fandroids and not Blackberry carrying members, I plan to use it less and less and this site more and more.

D_March

I'm D_March on both. This is a more BB friendly site. I'd love to continue to see these forums grow and succeed. I like being able to check threads to learn more about my current product and the apps that support it as well as get the inside info on what's coming next. Simple things but nice when you get them.

Ah that's who you are @Lance.

Welcome lnichols! I feel exactly as you do - I'm finding less and less interest in going over there, the more fun and enthusiastic blackberry fans have been banned or left of their own accord. It's *yawn* sterile and boring now. I do like the tech info and developers being active there, but hopefully they will be lured over here.

let's keep this place moving and suck the life out of the crackhouse!
It's going to take patience, things are much slower here, but I sense it will be picking up...

Blackjack93117

So is there anyone here that did NOT come from over there? lol

CrackBerry was THE BlackBerry community, and arguably still is, especially in the eyes of RIM as look at the excellent access Kevin is given to RIM Sr Staffers and RIM headquarters, with the popularity of BlackBerry in the English speaking world declining I can't see many users finding N4BB before they find CrackBerry when looking for a site to join,

for N4BB to get to the point that people choose N4BB over CrackBerry as their first Forum and community there needs to be information for the first time BlackBerry user easy to find, the first time BlackBerry user needs to google "how do I _________ on BlackBerry" and find the answer hear,

I think after BB10 launches with the user base we are getting on this site, we COULD be that place for BlackBerry 10, but our information for PlayBook, and BBOS7 devices is next to nothing on the forums, and N4BB doesn't rank high enough on google for people to click through on a 12month + article
