Man, there are some memories. I used to be at the old board, but it just became unbearable. I joined 2008 I think and remember some really interesting posters - Hostile, Fuzzy, Adam, couchscout, boozeman, bob sacamano, leotis, and some other guy that started his own board where the "negative people" went after some abysmal Cowboy Season (cant remember if it was an 8-8 year or 2010), etc.

There seems to always be a "homer" action and a "hater" faction. Romo, Wade, Garrett, rob ryan, dez, and of course Jerry.

While there are a million good posts, rants and info, etc., the one insane time that sticks with me was one gameday thread game against the Bears in 2010, I think, during the height of the "Romo will never win the big one" debate.

Romo threw 5 ints in the game and one guy by the name of 30ydslant, I believe, just lost it and began posting graphic gay porn pics for some reason. It was one of those things where you were surprised by who did it as I dont recall him being overly vocal. The Board melted down. People were responding to the posts with contempt and disgust, which reposted the pics. Mods were deleting blocks of posts. I posted "Everyone, stop hitting reply, LOL" in CAPS and the mod who lived in Hawaii threatened to kick me out as I think he thought I was encouraging it. He misread it and apologized, but it was 20 minutes of insanity.

There was one reply of "This is a family friendly sight A-hole" and the reply has a finishing move pic above it. It ust is something you dont easily forget. LOL

Can some of you old timers give us some history of the board. Personally. I’ve been here since 07. Left from The Ranch because a member stalked me and actually found me then followed me around town one day LOL. He had a family member who was a local media member who was part of that place that hated me, go figure. Anyways, once I came over here I never went back there or any other Cowboys forum.

IMO CZ is not only the best Cowboys board, but the best Pro Team Fan board on the internet.

With that being said, can some of you old timers give this old timer some history of CZ. Maybe include a few HOF zoners, or worst of all time guys. Longest thread ever, Most discussed ever, most controversial ever that was allowed to stay a while?

What was the best time to be a member? How about worst? I don’t believe the internet was around the last time the Boys one anything worth talking about , so in this thread “moral victory’s and accomplishments” will be fine...

Finally, let’s pay tribute to some of our buddies who have passed on but had good times here..CBZ40 is where the list beings today.

Been here since 2005.
Best sports forum hands down.
Really appreciate it being family friendly.
Also appreciate the outstanding insights and info shared

Yes, indeed.

Haha

I still see boozeman post at the other forum but whatever happened to Nors. That guy had some whacky posts back then.

He’s in Arkham or Azkaban, something like that.

How about 5Countem5?

Lol, that guy was incorrigible.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

For those of you that didn't know, CBZ40, or Pops, was the conscience of this board for many years and beloved by everyone. When he passed of cancer, many of us zoners chipped in and bought him a paver at the new stadium...

He always said Good Morning to everyone which was replied to by "Morning Pops!", thus the Morning Pops! thread in the Members Zone in his memory...

RIP, Pops...

Thanks for posting. This was before my time on this forum but very classy. Nice work!!

One of the main reasons I left. He's probably on here in some capacity....

Just realized I’ve been reading this forum for 15 years! 4 kids ago. Definitely still in the Palm Pilot era when I joined and you had to be sitting at a desk to catch up.

Good moderators all along.

Some great posters were run off by a couple of jerks.

Still the best place to catch up.

Mr. Burke keeps it clean and civil...which is a big job bc there are always a few knuckleheads who just show up to argue.

Damn, forgot about him. Time goes by faster as we all get older.

 

[SMASHMOUTH9473]

I came over when Cowboys-Pride went away.....many, many years ago. The only posters I remember from that era are: Reggie, Doc, Deb and Teague31. I've stayed here because the info is up to date and on point.

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I started on the "true blue " forum, I think they sold the site to cowboys.com official site, was there for about 3 years then came here .

Wonder what happened to Doc from that board?

 

[Alexander]

People think the Dak vs Wentz arguments are annoying, they dont hold a candle to the Quincy vs Hutchinson battle royales. What's funny is neither player could hit the broad side of the barn within 10 feet.

Anyone remember the poster "Latunanostra"? Im pretty certain he/she was either related to Parcells or President of his fan club.

That was just somebody crossdressing and living out their Parcells fetish vicariously via posts.

 

[CF74]

Bryan Broaddus used to post here under the name Proscout or something like that. Angry fans chased him off...

 

[JBell]

Did anyone mention Glover97 yet?

Lol. He was the fake news guy right? Name definitely rings a bell.

SilverBear, Houston Sucks, FlaCowpoke, Rack, ChocolateLab....some names that come to mind when thinking of that place.
