Yes, it is already by far the best and close as you can get to the official message board.

No.

I voted "no" because if RF.net became the "official" forum of the Oakland Raiders I would EXPECT some changes (for the better) and you said there would be no changes.

Off the top of my head; there should be less ads (cost off-set by the team), designers of the site should be allowed to incorporate the official Raider logo into the design, Raider logo avatars should be allowed and links to Raiders.com and the Raider Image.

My response is in no way a bash on the current site, I would just expect some concessions from the team if we became the offical board. RF.net is and has always been the greatest Raiders forum on the net.

What major perks would their be besides bragging rights and a, maybe, bigger budget for the site?

It's already better than the other teams official and unofficial sites I've visited to get more information about upcoming (non-divisional) opponents.
This is exactly my sentiment...

I don't see a reason for selling out to king Al, and in my opinion this already is the OFFICIAL raiders forum. This is the best football forum, where else would we go? (biased oppinion of course)

I voted no because if there is no changes then whats the point and if there were concessions made to make this site official, I dont feel they would be for the better.

Was going to vote yes but he made too much sense. I would be worried about the censorship personally

If the site stays the same as BK said then Yes, it should be Official.

You mean its not right now? Lets take a moment and ask what exactly is preventing it from being the "official" site? Is that defined by attendance, and accuracy of information, and participation?, or is it defined by Al Davis saying its the "official" site? What would change if it were made the "official" site? Probably nothing but something must or we could all just agree that it IS the "official" site. Honestly BK, I dont even understand why the question was asked because if nothing must change for it to be the "official" Raider website, then I submit to you Sir....that it already IS. So I guess what im saying is, although you have said nothing would change, something MUST or then this already IS the "official" Raider website. I voted yes either way!


P.S. - I love this site, thanks BK!
