Former Posters Shoutout/Callback...

For me, I started tapering off the board a few years ago when my step-dad and mom both passed away within 8 months of each other. In addition to being flat bummed out, I had a lot to deal with regarding their estate, lawyers, family, etc.


Then, the mother lode hit one year ago. My Marine son-in-law was killed in a military plane crash, leaving my daughter to raise their 4 children all alone. Also, she lives 500 miles away.


I just haven’t has the desire to do much of anything else besides the regular life responsibilities.
So sorry for your loss. Hang in there and thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
 
With the untimely passing of MJ, it got sadgator thinking about great former posters,
folks we haven’t seen in a while, and friends long-gone...

sadgator wanted to start a thread naming as many of the old guard as we could all remember...bonus points for anyone who can actually get one of them to show up and post in this thread for old times sake...

Whatever happened to...

I still see @HathBrad on the Alley/Swamp Talk from time to time.
 
Really sorry to hear this. You obviously have a strong faith, so hopefully that is helping you through. For what it’s worth, you’re a highly valued member of this Board, so we always appreciate your contributions when you feel like participating.

I even like passover... Im normally not a warm fuzzy guy but any1 who legitimately helps kids who need it is ok in my book

Has the Raider association been pulling their weight? Message me.
 
I miss the guy who is always ranting about the former high school sports reporter in Sarasota or wherever and who always calls MDVOLs out for his apparently common practice of installing substandard wiring at senior citizen living facilities.
Originally Tennessee Waltz or something along those lines. Real name Steve Thompson a prep basketball coach. Has a decade old woody for a writer named Izzy Gould.

All weird shiz if you ask me.
 
Sad, always wondered why you never went premium. Don’t you have the $6/month? JK, as I’ve just left it as the new mgmt. ain’t like the old. Hell you could make a thread of just the ones who ran these boards since the early 2000’s.

Spending money on a sports message board seems as ridiculous as spending money on internet porn. No offense, sadgator is sure there are some fine folks on that side of the site. This site has always been sufficient to serve as sadgator’s creative outlet.
 
he got super pissed one day arguing, and declared the message board was bad for his health and that he was leaving. Ain't been back since.

He got trolled off the board??...yikes...i have nvr left this board angry... How can words get someone that mad?

No, he didn't get trolled. BONG is a passionate dude and his argument with one of our Mods (who he knows in real life) got a little out of hand. BONG got banned, then upon unbanning decided not to return. His banning showed him a less stressful experience. This board was much more interactive in those days and $hit hit the fan often.

At least that's how I remember everything going down. @EvilWayz can correct me if I'm wrong.

That's how I remember it, because I believe he and I got banned for the same length and when I came back, BONG didn't.

Yep, that sums it
 
Something along those lines. There were so many arguments and tangents back then that it's hard to remember what was what.

Basically, JD just told him to cool it a little bit. That it was a Gator board and it was no good to turn every thread into a bash Muschamp session, since he was the current coach. BONG replied if you're going to ban me then perma-ban me. Done and done. Too bad. BONG was a smart poster and seemed like a good dude. But I can see where the mods were coming from. It's not like they were stifling all dissent.

It's amazing how text on a screen can affect people. Sometimes we put a little too much emotion into the things we have passion for. That is one of the reasons college football fans are more passionate for their teams than any pro franchise.

Alums donate and have friendships and memories that last forever. Non alums latch on mostly due to proximity, family connections or just liking something about the university.

I think that is one of the reasons people are more emotional defending their college teams, as opposed to NFL.
