Bad Boys - Part IV

Mark Carter10 said:But what about the photo? 🤷

And where is the feature story? 🤷

A piece of graffiti featuring the legends of the Bad Boys from the suburbs. If I recall correctly, the "official" unveiling of this mural happened back on November 25, 2012.

Three of the men depicted on that wall lost their lives during the war in 1991 and 1992.
One fell during the siege of a major city, another in the push to liberate the coast, and the third near a small town outside of DC.
The fourth passed away during the winter of '94, succumbing to the elements in the middle of a Chicago freeze.

🙏

May they rest in peace.

This is an absolutely solid post!

What was Marcinko actually getting at with those comments about the 90s and all that public shaming?

And let’s not forget how Mamić's crew got the team kicked out of European competition in their very first year just because they were busy bribing the officials...

Right, sure. Thanks for the insight.

Why is it that images only ever end up being posted on the forum boards rather than being uploaded to the site's actual gallery?

I really have to question the leadership's decision ☕ regarding their push to get more people to join the NBA just to gain forum access. Personally, I feel like this is heading in the wrong direction! Shouldn't joining the NBA be a personal choice? It feels wrong to tie membership to restrictions like banning images or stripping away basic features. Everyone should be free to follow their own conscience, shouldn't they?...

hiddenridge99 said:What was Skansi getting at regarding the 90s and that whole sense of disgrace?

I assume Skansi was hinting at the era when Marcinko ran NBC and drafted that list of journalists labeled as "communist sympathizers" who were subsequently fired.
It’s a similar vibe to when that "patriot" Antun Vrdoljak would lecture everyone about communist gangs despite spending his days filming partisan movies back in the old regime...

If he wanted to talk about Auxerre, he’d be tearing into Cir, not Marcinko.

slyskipper9 said:The leadership's decision—if one can even call it that—is quite something. I suppose we should have seen this coming, though it still feels rather predictable in hindsight. It’s just another move from the top, isn't it? One wonders what they were actually thinking when they finalized this, but then again, I guess that's asking too much. Perhaps it's just more of the same. ☕ There seems to be this growing push to recruit as many people as possible into the NBA just to secure forum access—an approach I find fundamentally misguided. In my view, it is wrong to try and leverage membership restrictions, such as banning image posts or stripping away essential features, as a way to force enrollment. Joining the NBA should be a matter of individual choice; I suppose everyone ought to simply act according to their own conscience.

If you ask me—and I suppose that’s what this is for—this forum really ought to be reserved strictly for the group leadership. It seems somewhat misguided to grant full access to everyone just because they join the NBA. As for this whole photo-sharing situation, it honestly feels quite pointless—it lacks any real cohesion. Every single time we try to centralize things, a handful of images inevitably leak out onto Facebook anyway, rather than staying organized in one dedicated spot where they belong.

you see the same thing I do 😕 which might logically suggest they'll just post a few shots from every game to keep things going...

I honestly think forums like this would be way better if everyone actually used their real name, last name, and a photo if they wanted to join the debate. Sure, we’d have a lot fewer people hanging around, but the quality would skyrocket and things would actually feel legit. Right now, I can't even bother arguing with some total jerk who acts like a thug, or some bratty kid who’s clearly skipping gym class. Most people here already know who I am, but for anyone else? I wouldn't hesitate to drop my full name, picture, and home address just to prove a point.☕

Brandon Barrett38 said:Why are photos only being posted on the BBB forum instead of the website's gallery?

Well, I guess they'll just dump all the photos on the official site at the end of the season...

I don't really get why people have such a hard time just registering and sending over their info—you know, like a first name, last name, and membership number—once you're verified. I mean, I suppose it’s probably better if we actually know who is posting, so it's clearly people who have some actual connection to the Dinamo fans rather than just some random tenth stranger...

Forget those photos; if you actually want to see what’s happening, just show up at the stadium. That's where the real action is. 🙂

James Ruiz57 said:Screw those photos, just show up to the games if you want the real deal. 🙂

Fair enough. Just because someone traveled for an away game doesn't mean they remember every single detail. 😁

slyskipper9 said:The leadership really went and did it—they finally made their move. I’ve been sitting here staring at the news, sipping my coffee, and just trying to wrap my head around the sheer weight of this decision. You know how it is when you feel something coming, like that heavy humidity right before a massive thunderstorm hits the Midwest? That’s exactly how I felt watching this unfold. It wasn't exactly a shocker, but seeing it actually finalized feels different. It’s one thing to whisper about changes in the hallways or over drinks at a local pub, but it's another thing entirely when the higher-ups put pen to paper and make it official. Honestly, I’m still processing it all, weighing the pros against the cons, and wondering if they realize just how much this shifts the ground beneath our feet. It’s going to be an interesting ride, to say the least. ☕ So, I’ve been seeing people trying to recruit as many folks as possible into KND just so they can snag access to the forum, and honestly? I think that’s a total mistake. Personally, I feel like we're heading down the wrong path if we start making membership conditional like that. You shouldn't be tying someone's ability to join KND to whether or not they get restricted from posting certain images or lose access to basic site features. At the end of the day, joining is a personal choice, and I really believe everyone should just follow their own conscience when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Look, you're talking nonsense here. The only actual rule is that you have to introduce yourself properly so we aren't just dealing with a bunch of random anonymous trolls like we are right now. Honestly, anyone who takes a second to actually say who they are gets a pass—it doesn't matter how old you are, how many years you've been showing up to the stadium, or any of that other stuff. This site is the official home for the BBB, not some random KND hangout. You guys should honestly be embarrassed, hanging out and making a mess here instead of over on our actual platform, especially since this is the one place where people think they can hide behind a screen and stay anonymous.

I honestly don't get why everyone is making such a huge deal out of just registering and then sending over their basic info—you know, just your full name and membership number. It’s not like we're asking for anything crazy. I really feel like we need to know who we're actually talking to here; it makes sense that the people posting should be actual supporters of the Blue Army, not just some random tenth-tier stranger off the street who has zero connection to the club.

You're absolutely right, and honestly? Screw the membership number. I don't care about any of that bureaucratic nonsense.

Man, if you're at an away game and you don't remember the score, you weren't even there. 🤣🙂

feraldrifter19 said:You're talking nonsense; the only requirement is THAT YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF so we can avoid this anonymous trolling happening here. Anyone who introduces themselves is welcome, regardless of age or how long they've been in the stands. This website belongs to BBB, not KND. You should be ashamed of yourselves for causing trouble on someone else's private forum instead of over there, where staying anonymous is actually allowed...

Who says I haven't introduced myself? 😉 But even if I had, I still wouldn't have been let in. Should I really feel ashamed for expressing my own perspective on things I was actually a part of? Besides, nobody is attacking the group or this forum; our goal is simply to point out areas where things could be handled more efficiently or better, all with the intention of improving the group!
