    Checking In

    I haven't posted here since January, and probably won't again after this. But every once in a while I'll check the site out without logging in. There's not much to see. At this point, it's a ghost town, especially for being 3 games into the season. There used to be a lot of good posters here. I'm not saying I was one of them. But at least I was active year-round. IMO the mods let trolls take over the board and run everyone off. A forum with a big user group can absorb a few trolls, but a small group like this makes it very difficult. Anyway, it's sad to see what's become of this board. After Steelers Fever, it was the best when it was good.

    It's good to see you here again.

    It is disappointing to see this little traffic here. I come here often to check the message board out and try to post. There just isn't much happening.

    I hope you continue to come here and that other regulars work their way back here and begin to participate a little more.

    I wish people would just post here again, the SteelersFans/ExtremeSteelers sites stink for GDT threads.

    The forums rarely work. The forums have been down for two weeks. I even went to the Isitdownrightnow.com site to confirm.

    Posting…..I was out of town. I’m watching the game for the first time. With the D healthy,….they are mean. Still not happy about TOP. D is on the field for ten minutes too long, but it seems we have a bit of a running game, so……stay tuned.

    They have certainly shown improvement on both sides of the ball. I still think the defensive line has a ton of potential and upside as they continue to gain experience through playing time. Harmon looks like he can be a real disruptor, and Black shows flashes of being a strong inside presence that brings physicality and will push Benton to perform better.

    Now they need the bye week to try to get the secondary as healthy as they can. They have been hit by a ton of injuries.

    I still pop in occasionally. I think if the Steelers start actually trying to win games, maybe this place will pick back up once again.

    We will certainly need that secondary to get healthy. Not sure when we get an updated injury report on a bye week….but no one has been put on IR, ( I don’t think). Some really nice running plays on Sunday. Hopefully they keep expanding that…..keeping Rogers upright for as long as possible.

    Part of the issue was that the board wasn't acting right for many of us no matter what browser we used. But it seems to be working well now. I imagine it'll pick back up some once others check in and see that it's working well again.
