There was a guy there "tnntree" or something like that who would never shut up about hating Campo or Zimmer...hmmm.

sure glad we don't have anything like that going on here.

i started out at the DMN boards, too.

 

[lockster]

Thanks for the info guys. Those points outlined is one of the reasons I love this forum so much at least guys here are usually nice and helpful. I really like the way this one is formatted too. Though it took me awhile before I started posting much. I really liked Scott David too. Mike graney was entertaining sometimes though. I think he was logical somedays although I would disagree with him quite often. lol I think being mad influenced a lot of what was said over there. Thats where I got started in cowboys forums years ago, however, it did go down hill really bad. Glad to know u guys.

 

[blindzebra]

I started there as well. Spent a wild Labor Day weekend where I kept picking out Graney's new usernames. He got banned 13 times in 3 days.

 

[Hostile]

I would scan around looking for Scott David comments. I thought that guy should be a professional writer. Very funny and intelligent. Someone should invite him over to our forum. Does he have his email on his site? He would be great for this place.

He is a professional writer. Last I heard he had a novel in the works.

 

[Hostile]

That guy was so funny. Why did he quit posting altogether?

He and another long timer from DMN had a real bad falling out and he just decided enough was enough.

...waxing and waning over the good ole days.

Graney, Zardus and his Wired Hair Terrier, Iceman and Mr. Bill.

Given the penchant for most forum users to make pseudonyms I wouldn't be surprised if they all resided here under a different personality.

That place was a sandbox and I don't know why I stuck there for so long. I still laugh when I checked out one day to find that the DMN changed their format of the forum to include ads. After wading through a slew of complaint threads I found out that a bunch made the move over here.

I can't remember them all, but there were some excellent posters at the old DMN and I hope some made it over here. Anyone know where Doc is nowadays?

Yes, I agree about the " wouldn't be surprised if they all resided here under a different personality".

At the time I always thought that WRZ, Zardus, and on another page RAT were the same person. All fom NY if I remember correctly.

I'm just glan that those days are long gone.

I know that a few of them are here. Quite a few in fact. WRZ is from Philly and that was Zardus.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I thought Zardunce was just a figment of someone's imagination because that same guy posted as a Cowboy fan at extremeskins etc

I used to like it there but got banned for some unknown reason. I hated that GTorres guy.

I always thought Scott David was a lawyer but maybe he is a writer moonlighting as a lawyer. His stories about Dutch girl were classic.

I haven't posted over there in a long time. Ebutcher ruined the board.

 

[jterrell]

Scott David was in law school.

He posted for a while here back when we were a very small site. He left because he had a post that was a mock religious comedic offering deleted.

Extremely talented guy but he could never stick to a subject.

I'd love to read a novel he produces but my guess is it would be a serious Fear and Loathing type deal. His mind runs rampant.

He was in law school at SMU at that time(actually may have just graduated, its been a couple of years).


This site has had a max influx of DMN forumers at least 5 times.

My guess is 30% of the site came from there at some point.

I posted maybe 20 times at DMN. It was hardly ever possible to find intelligent football discussion without wading through 20 trash posts.

Mr Bill, TNT, BAT21, Mash, Randy White, Oiler Fan and others have posted other places before DMN. Once you get used to the ability to share a passion like Cowboys football it is very addictive.

 

[DeaconBlues]

DMN was my first forum. Never posted much, but mixed it up a bit with WRZ and Grainey. Would always give up out of sheer exhaustion - always wondered how they could argue a point for seemed like days on end . . .

Never knew Scott David and Wacky Ralph was the same . . . I have never seen a meltdown like the one on Extremeskins when they learned they got clowned . . .

 

[Rezz]

So what happened at Extremeskins when they got played? I've never heard the story...

 

[Sarge]

Remember Mike Graney the supposed Cowboy fan from New York I think it was. He was really just a Green Bay fan from what I could tell.

I think I'm the only one who got along with Graney. He lived fairly close to me but he was a piece of work.

Night and day that board to this one.

 

[jay cee]

I don't know where WRZ is and I don't care. Me and Billy Zardus do not get along at all. He is the reason why I left DMN for good.

As far as I know they stil have a fan forum. Could be wrong I guess.

I agree with you there Hos. The DMN was the first forum I ever stumbled onto, and I never actively rooted against the Eagles until I started reading that WRZ guy's posts.

I never had a (internet) beef with him, but his smug posts did get under my skin, because the Cowboys were sucking so bad and there was no hope in sight.

You're right that stuff about Dutch girl was funny! I loved reading his posts.

 

[THUMPER]

I started out at the DMN many years ago but left when it had a major meltdown back in the mid 90s due to a guy named Beavis and some others. There were death threats and all kinds of stuff that literally brought the forum to a close.

I haven't been back to the DMN since then and refuse to visit their site ever again. Their tabloid style of journalism has really turned me off to them so I am boycotting their site entirely.

Myself and several others ended up at the Sportsonly board which was a great forum for a long time until a certain rodent showed up and ruined it. They have removed the infestation recently and it is a nice place again but has nowhere near the traffic that this place has.

I have been a regular at a few other boards over the years, where I got to know some of the folks that are here now, but never one as busy as this one.

When I first started coming here I was overwhelmed at the sheer volume of posts and I could hardly post a thought before I saw that it had already been posted by others several times and I didn't want to simply be a "me too".

Love this place for picking up info and insights even though I don't post that often. You folks are great!

 

[Jarv]

Man that guy Quigly over there used to write those 2 page post.

I started there as well, Then with the wars coming up it just became a very politicle board...Ivade Iraq or not...QC or Hutch...Brutal.

 

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

The DMN forum was my first ever message board also. I went in with guns a blazing, and quickly got shot down by the likes of DallasEast and jerry etc.. Took me a while to settle down and learn just exactly how things work. Then along came QC and all the "QC SUX" crap.

Anyway, getting banned from that toilet was the best thing that ever happened to me in the cyber world. Since then, I've found this fine forum, and icebergs site as well.

And eric butcher is a gutless coward!

 

[CC_Cowboy]

Holy DMN reunions! Very touching.

Once I got the invite to Ice's site, I was gone. There were far too many CB Harvey's for my liking. Perhaps he's here now? Don't care.

Nice to see the likes of CBZ40 and others here. Guys like Motley and Winicki wouldn't remember me from the DMN. But they're solid contributors so I remember them.

Hostile, have you and your fellow mods been doing some house cleaning here? Your site is alot better now than it was in it's previous incarnation.

 

[Charles]

Ah yes the good ol' days of DMN

I was banned from DMN for posting CowboyPlus articles in the forum. I didn't know of the rule prohibiting psoting the articles. I wasn't given a warning. Ebutcher must have had it out for me.

It was the best DallasCowboys forum at one time during a span of maybe 2000 thru. early 2002.

Oh well life moves on. I was initially known as charles then I switched to Qcard then now back to charles.
