This forum and the online community which it engrosses is surely one of the most wonderful that I have ever been a part of. It's really great that the camaraderie that exists here was not defiled by the douchebaggery of the NFL.com forums. This is my 1000th post on this new site, and I've been looking forward to this for a little while.
It was August 28th 2010 when I was posting on a Gamecenter of a preseason matchup between the Tennessee Titans and the Carolina Panthers. I got into an argument with a total douchbag who was hating on the Titans. Little did I know, that guy was Panther, who invited me to come to the somewhat hidden NFL forum. I did, and it started a great thing for me. Thanks for welcoming me to this nice place. I look forward to another 1000 posts.
So without further a do;
Prayers unanswered, Hopes shattered, Blown away Like autumn leafs, Dreams of Premiership football In tatters.
I’ve thrown away Team shirt, Ripped the posters and photos Of one time heroes.
The prima donnas, With bigger egos Than their wages, My 75 year old granny Could have done better.
Shadows of Championship football lengthen I’ll never again throw away My hard earned money, Never again.

No doubt he felt highly of you as well. hehe Actually panther has a very good sense of good people. I'm saddened sometimes by the number of good people we left behind at NFL with no hope of ever finding them again. There were many left behind that some/many perceived as douchebags who really weren't, IMO. Some were just provoked and took the bait and/or were products of their environment. But had we known NFL would go down without warning, we would've open the doors sooner. Still a great community, and even though we wish it were a bit larger, I've gotten to know the fewer here a bit better, people like you, and that's nice. No sarcasm. lol Nice poem, a bit maudlin. Maybe we'll see a voluntary avatar switch even with a Titans win, which looks crazily conceivable right now. Nah.

Just to be clear I wasn't calling panther a douchebag that's a literary technique of misleading as the narrator.

Hey, I just reread what I wrote, and don't wanna me misconstrued. All those people we left behind, well, we had NO IDEA the NFL forums would go down instantly, so we weren't more diligent about getting people here quickly. Had we known, we would've been.
Yeah, there were some that might've been considered trollish, but had we known what happened there was gonna happen, we probably would have taken our chances and invited them and lots of other people - certainly not everyone, but we probably would've taken more chances with people who didn't post much and we didn't know that well. What's the worst that could happen, we have to ban the odd someone? Probably wouldn't have happened much cuz it still would've been a smaller and better environment than those forums. I think it brings out the better in most people, you feel more accountable. That is all.
