How did you Get Into Forums?

[CC_Cowboy]

Joined the DMN board in the Gailey days. Posted on and off till the midpoint of Campo's second season, then dropped it all completely till Campo's last season.

Got an invite (through Hostile) to join Iceberg's board and the rest is history. With all of the "cross posters" between this board and Ice's, my curiosity was raised.

Actually, I had joined the old Mazevo site. But hated it and said as much as recently as yesterday, LOL! But several of the guys over at Renegade Radio (whom I respect) kept talking this place up so I thought it about time to take a closer look.

Much better than I remembered. But it looks like I'm going to have to behave. I'll try.

Online gaming. Joined this board about three years ago? (cowboyszone.net?)

Someone posted a thread earlier today regarding the DMN forum, and got me thinking? How did you come across MBs, especially on the Cowboys?


I used to regularly browse ESPN, bought Insider and eventually found my way into the message board. After establishing myself as a reputable poster (and not the normal troll, >cough<JustaEverydayRedneck>cough<), I received an email to join a new, budding forum (Dallas Cowboys Central).

That was last offseason, probably right at a year ago. I joined while the board was still young, became a top 10 poster (I was trying to beat out the top three, who at the time were Boozeman, SBK and Midswat). There was a little bit of a 'disagreement' and I was banned (not banned anymore). But I had slowly started to lurk over here. When it required that I sign up, I did.

I then started posting slowly at first, and have now picked it up as of late. In about 3 months less the time, I have already met my old post count from that site.

Note - I have no plans to get banned here (didn't there, but it was a setup I tell you!). Also, my SN/Avatar were different, so don't try to remember me.

How about you? How did you become a message board aficianado/respected member of Cowboyszone.com?

Emmitt broke the rushing record and I just had to talk about it. Once I got involved I couldn't believe how many people thought Q and/or Hutch were good QBs and I started putting in my 2 cents. After a while I decided it was better than TV and a great way to unwind.

Ouch.

Probably more than I should have. Don't even like TV except for a couple of shows. No good Westerns anymore. Except for Deadwood.

Bring that Deadwood talk to Detox.

Has there ever been a character better named than Swearengen.

I used to get in Cowboys chat rooms back on AOL in the late 80's - early 90's... I was also part of a bulletin board out of Irving that had some Cowboy talk back in the days of my 8088 XT box and 1200 baud modem...

I lurked at DMN for a few years... occaisionally posting... as I did on FWST... I would also read the ESPN boards at times...

I didn't start "frequent posting" til thecowboys.net... and the rest is a seedy, sordid history of bad posts, tasteless graphics and wasted time...

about two years ago, I found the star telegram forum while reading an article. I thought I was living the life, than I found extremeskins. Extremeskins led me here.

That would be true except for the fact that I've only been here for 8 mos. so that doesn't explain the 4 mos you were here before me that was filled with a seedy, sordid history of bad posts, tasteless graphics and wasted time...
