Jacob Ross2 said:honestly, there’s just no point in continuing this boycott. Let’s be real—fans aren't actually destined to boycott; we're meant to cheer, right? So this whole boycott thing feels pretty ridiculous to me. I was all for it for a while back when the owner was at the absolute peak of his power, but things have shifted. He’s basically halfway out the door already; the only real question left is when he’ll finally step down. I think in a few years, everything will settle itself out regarding that issue, but until then, we need to focus on keeping the group intact.

And if we’re being honest, the boycott hasn't actually done anything but hurt the group itself. It didn't achieve its goal of pushing the guy out, nor can a boycott, by its very nature, actually accomplish anything in that regard. To me, I don't see any sense in boycotting unless you're just shooting yourselves in the foot so everyone else can talk about how noble and righteous the BBB are, or how they haven't been "bought off" or whatever. Honestly, who cares about those stories if they result in our own group falling apart? Sometimes in life, you have to be a little selfish and think about your own interests first before worrying about everyone else. Because let’s face it: even with the way Dinamo is running now, the higher-ups couldn't care less about the fans, let alone the BBB. So, the boycott is a bust; we need to look forward.

Besides, only a strong BBB can actually guarantee a real fight against the monster running this club. Instead of strengthening us, the boycott has just weakened the BBB, so why are we moving backward when we should be moving forward?

In essence, the boycott was only the best choice insofar as it showed us how certain individuals within the group really feel and helped expose the traitors. Since that's already been accomplished, I don't see any reason to keep it up. We know exactly who stands where now—who's on the owner's side and who's against him—and that's that. Any attempt to force a boycott just for the sake of boycotting is counterproductive and, looking long-term, will only damage the group. And I'll say it again: sometimes you have to prioritize yourself over the "greater good," because in this country, it's nearly impossible to mobilize enough people to create a critical mass for change through street protests. When was the last time you saw a massive protest in America? Even veterans struggle to get more than 500 people together for a demonstration. This nation is too passive; we shouldn't waste our time and energy on things that simply won't yield results.

Can anyone tell me anything about what happened in Athens back in November of last year?

Sure thing, but I think we should probably wait until there’s a clear consensus on who actually won that massive brawl over at the Great Wall first.

Jesse Doyle3 said:Hey everyone, just an update... the boycott still includes ZCB, Spre, ZG80, AGC, NS, and d42.
That seems to be the whole list for now...

Actually, I don't think that's quite right.
If you look at all those groups, there are at least two or three regular members in each one... well, except for the ones who are actually banned... 😁

Out of everyone mentioned, at least two or three are regular members. That is, excluding anyone currently serving a suspension. 😁

I’ve been hearing these wild stories lately about some guy from NYC moving out to the rural Midwest and actually picking up the local accent... is there any truth to that?

🤣 🤦

I've heard that quite a few of them ended up in rehab, so I suppose that's why they aren't around anymore.

Are we talking about the Franklin fans and the Smoggy crowd? Or did those Smoggy folks from the Dynamo crew just decide to switch over to basketball... I wonder if they're actually the same group of people... 🍿

I’m pretty sure the Smoggy fans following the pro basketball team have zero connection to the group you're bringing up—different crowds entirely. I recall they had their little setup over in the North Side back in 2006, while most of the Smoggy fans watching the basketball games were still stuck in elementary school at the time.

Hey, do you know if there's anything left from the Madness days... specifically that visually stunning banner (which was honestly one of my favorites...) that had "Blue Madness" on it? There was also that "Charlie Chaplin" transit banner back in the day, though I mostly saw it over by the East stands. Even the Dugav fans had their own banner... usually paired with the drinks that were basically a staple witness to all those events.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone actually know what "The Gallows" refers to? The name's tripping me up. Are they hanging laundry in the stands or something? I mean, based on the name, you'd think they were actually hanging people, but who knows with this logic... damn.

Thx
