The team reached out and confirmed the message board is staying online. I am incredibly relieved that our digital home for Bears fans is safe after all this uncertainty. Thank you for sticking with me while we fought to protect this community.

The CBMB will be erased from history forever unless we speak up. This a place where Bear fans from around the world over 100,000 strong (and growing) go to hang out, talk Bears, and share news of everything Bears related. The Chicago Bears organizations clearly does not feel it is important and or not worth their time and resources. People on the website dedicate their time for free to moderate and make it the most successful Bears community that currently exists.I firmly believe it is an asset for the Chicago Bears as it increases traffic on their website and make fans feel that they are truly part of the Bears organization. The Bears will shift to simply using Facebook and Twitter which will dilute the sense of community and reduce conversation and interaction to basic statements and brief comments on what ever subject is presented. I respectfully urge the Chicago Bears organization to reconsider and realize how important the CBMB is to fans especially those living or serving in the military outside of this country. http://boards.chicagobears.com/

I have been reading through your stories about the friendships built on these boards and it reminds me exactly why I started this. The organization remains silent for now but they cannot ignore the community we have built together over the years.

Seeing this community rally together to protect our home feels like a massive victory for every fan who has spent years debating games on those boards. This momentum proves that our digital home is far more than just a comment section to the people who actually show up for this team every single Sunday.

FB and twitter comments are garbage. No real discussion possible there. Keep the board open!
