What brings you all to the Zone??

[gbrittain]

Me too, back in late 1997 at first. Then after that whole FBI incident etc, Beavis, for the old DMN guys, it wasn't the same. I started out on MSNBC football talk myself, when I was getting frustrated during that season, in Switzer era.

Found this board in 2001 area, but didn't start posting myself till 2002.

I forgot about the whole FBI incident. I think by the time that happened I was not visiting the board all that much, but I do remember vaguely something about that.

Do you remember what it was that happened?

Well, I knew after the fact, but from what I understand, a fan named Beavis, who was a troll basically, posted or emailed maybe (?) threat to DMN people or posters or something like that.

All hell broke loose and they shut the board for a while, since one day it was there and next day when I went there, it wasn' there. I stopped visiting there after that, and found out later in bits and pieces what happened.

But old DMN board as busy as this one though, on thing for sure. But lot more trash too.

Craziness! That board just went nuts.

I used to be a member of the DMN forum. That thing went to hades in a hand basket.

Not sure how, but from the DMN forum found out about this one and never looked back.

This forum is so far and away the best Cowboys forum that is not even funny.

same here

I was 1st introduced by my good, forum buddy BigDfan5, never really checked in until I got kicked off a previous forum, which I'm happy to say, was the best day of my INternet forum life, as this site if FAR superior to quality and content as my previous one, plus I can enjoy unabridged Cowboy's discussions w/o the interference of rival team's homer trolls, of course we get them, but it doesn't bother me much when I see 15 of my fellows bring them down plus this is the best site for getting Cowboy news fastest, even in the downtime of the offseason, plus I've met alot of cool people, yes, even you Hostile it's been fun

It's easily the best Cowboys community on the 'net and I don't think I'm being biased. We attract some of the best posters that I've read on any message board - Cowboys related or not.

The historical knowledge of someone like Chief or CBZ isn't easily matched. In depth analysis from posters like Yakuza Rich, AdamJT13, David Blair and many others is top notch. Trickblue and InmanRoshi's recaps are invaluable and posted here first by the original posters. This and a lot more are what keep me here as more than a Mod.

I agree. Great discussion here and I really appreciate the knowledge of those who can do things I don't have time for, such as Yakuza, AdamJT13, and many, many others. I know I can visit this site and find all the cowboy news. Kudos and thanks to all of you who take time to share your insight and knowledge with us.

1) To spread gloom and doom
2) To meet up with some of you, like in those NBC Dateline stings

Started out at Sportstalk and became quickly addicted.
Followed a couple posters over here when things started to die out.

I am more of a lurker. I probably devote at least 4 hours per day here but don't post a lot. I have tried a lot of the other boards but none compare!

Way to go 'ZONE!

Before finding online message boards, I used to drive my friends and family crazy with my Cowboy talk. I could simply talk them into submission. No one I know has the knowledge or the desire to talk as in-depth or as often about the Cowboys as I do.

In the early 90's I used to talk constantly about Dallas and you could see the blank stares indicating that they didn't know or care about what I was talking about. Particularly when it comes to the draft... which is a passion of mine.

Let's face it... how much we love the Cowboys and love to talk about everything Cowboy related, just isn't normal. It is almost impossible to find someone to have a discussion with about the Cowboys... at least a discussion that is in depth like we want to have.

Here at the zone, I'm surrounded by people who love to talk about Dallas as much as I do and by people who have the knowledge and understanding to have discussions that are fulfilling to a true fan of the Cowboys and of the draft.

So... simply put, I come here because I love the Cowboys and the people here love them as much as I do. Plus the folks here have the football smarts to talk the talk.

And the individuals here are a very smart, and unique group. A lot of personalities make up the membership here... some are great and some aren't. But it is always interesting and fun.

Adopted the Zone in November 2004 ... discovered several step brother fans (they know who they are, but they'd never admit it!). Although we prefer different fandoms, we disagree much less than we thought; and even agree every now and then.

However, ...Green is still my favorite color!

I stumbled on to our site, I don't even know how long ago. Back then, it was much smaller but it was always extremely good content, for the most part. I simply read, like most, for a couple of months and then I posted. I was fortunate enough to be able to converse with a few of the very Sr. members of this board and I found that I loved it. Perhaps a day later, Chief encouraged me to continue to post and I took his advice.

Good advice Chief and thank you. For better or worse, I suppose your stuck with me now.

Barf-green is not exactly what I had in mind...

 

[dougonthebench]

the most accurate and extremely fast information about the Cowboys is why I come to this site!!!

 

[karnak]

I started out at the Austin360 forum. When it became too political, I looked for another site and found this one. I took a 2 year hiatus to get some personal issues worked out and now I'm back with a much different perspective.

The hot ladies draw me to the site!

 

[Jaxonsdaddd]

Been to alot of Cowboy sites over the years and was directed here by someone from the old DMN board. I cant believe what a total disaster that place turned out to be...

This site is elite because its not ranting and raving by idiotic Sunday only football fans. This site for the most part has passionaye fans therefore the football "intellect" is a cut above...The Manny Lawson, underwear Olympic lovefest, notwithstanding.
