Kori, can you change it for me?

Of course I can. But will I?
Yeah, I'll do it in a few minutes.
Thanks.
Oh man that's funny...he was hilarious. He was like the guiding light of the WOAI Boards when it was overun with trolls. He was a great poster.
In our first six months (when I was posting like 100-150 times a day), I would always tell LJ, "This board is lame ... it gets no traffic. If it's going to suck, I'd rather not have any forum at all."
And he used to try to tell me that if we were patient it would flourish. Guess he was right

I thought when I first posted here there would be a fandom split and both FSP and SR would do about half the traffic SR was doing...
timvp Believe.d even then.
What was funny is ya'll started out with basically the banned or pissed off malcontent s from SR, and yes that includes meand found an entirely new segment of posters in addition to those
.
The Barbarians did storm the gate. They definitely did.
But I remember timvp was preaching Believe. even back then.
And now SpursTalk gets four times (or more) the traffic of SR. Funny how things go.
Damn, this stroll down memory lane makes me pissed I lost the entry I submitted to Derek Anderson's kids coloring contest after he walked to Portland.![]()
Funniest thing about timvp/me and SR - my first real interaction with timvp (before the late night chats of baselinebum, timvp, TodTango, Mr.CarmenE, Spursfan, Admiral, etc) was because timvp posted a thread saying that he was "retiring" from SR for a few months to concentrate on work.
And I responded something like, "Look... no one cares that you are retiring and this doesn't deserve a thread. Everyone knows you aren't going to stay retired. What is 'retiring' from a message board mean anyway.. your life isn't that busy that you can't take 30 minutes out at the end of every day and post. Please! I hate these drama queen, attention-whoring type of threads."

But how do you know the amount of traffic SR gets?
So you started off like a married couple.![]()
Pretty easy to figure out.
1 million posts ago at SpursTalk was May 19, 2007.
1 million posts ago at SR was April 24, 2005.
So, it took us 14 months for a million posts and it took them 3 years and 3 months.
You can do similar comparisons with other numbers and guestimate things.
That belongs on the owned thread.
Yeah he said he could no longer hang with the basketball talk so he had to only lurk.
True.
What is an SR?
Damn, you lost it?
Yeah I would have responded but I was retired . . .
What about the time I posted the top ten best posters and I put you number three or four and then you rolled your eyes and said I was just putting the token girl?
I forgot who was in my top ten besides myself and KoriDuncan but I do remember my top ten worst posters from around the same time. Funny how seven out of the ten went on to be moderators over yonder![]()
You put me 3rd![]()
I remember people started having breakdowns after that post. That might have been one of your best all-time posts.![]()
Damn, I kind of feel bad about that entry now. DA had a coloring contest on his website with a picture of him that kids were supposed to color and send in for prizes. I had to load it into Photoshop, and gave him eye shadow, high heels, pearls, a dress, changed the name on the front of his jersey to read " ", and wrote him a note about how I was a dying child born without a body who lost the will to live when he abandoned San Antonio. I hope he got a good laugh out of it and didn't take it personally if he ever saw it.
Hmmm ... I forgot who was above you. I think I put MarcusBryant and Ghost Writer tied for first, me second and you third if I remember correctly. What's classic is I believe ducks was ninth or tenth. That was back when ducks wrote in eloquent full paragraphs.
baseline bum was either fourth or fifth, IIRC. f7 was on there. Can't remember anyone else right now.
Yeah I still remember who was on the list. Literally seven of them became moderators over there. Only one of them posts here (under the same screen name, at least) and he's become a much better poster seven years later or however long its been.
Was that the one where an unnamed stalker, lets call him sparky, who chased an unnamed poster, let's call him Bark Mryant, with promises of cold beer and :hats IMO flipped out?
Yeah he was second or third on the list and tried to laugh it off at first. Then the laughter faded and eventually I think the thread got deleted . . .
And what happened to cursed player avatar from back in the day? It's been working a little too good on RC lately.
I'm not sure who was first, but I remember Mr.CarmenE was #2 and LJ was trying to get him to step up his game.
I think I remember #1 but I'm not positive. LJ ran to the store right now; I'm sure he remembers.
Did he ever make you wear the "I Love Pop" shirt?
