That's cool. Once bitten by the board bug, it is hard to "retire". I guess it is different with mods, dealing with all the doodoo.

Your rep is worth about 100 points now.

Seems like the majority on the 49er board have hundreds or thousands of posts, and like 35 rep points. Do they just not rep over there? I was a newbie, but I didn't get much of a sense of "community" over there. Not a lot of crosstalk and banter, just guys posting short comments. "Oh crap!" "Nice catch!" "Missed tackle."

Nothing beats this board. Nothing.

Well, maybe the ESPN board back in the glory days, but that's history. Brute and Doyle and Balzac and Psycho and FriscoShortStop and Goldenbears the rest. I think Cal and Cam were lurkers in those days. Were you?

I was an occasional lurker, even occasional-er poster. I was never able to keep all the different posters straight, though, so I never got involved in the cross-talk. I think I became a reg-poster about '06 or so (I remember posting a lot around the Timmeh draft).

I think he just meant: random old farmhand signing = lightning in a bottle again?

Should I bust out the HF icon?

Not as much HF-fishing as blind wishful thinking. Obviously, the chances of anyone having an even remotely similar career path to Vogelsong borders on impossibility. It would have been better if Burres went to Japan before he came back.

Yeah, Tox especially had to deal with a bunch of shit. He was Mod when this board experienced ridiculous growth and has been Mod of a ton of the different boards on this site. I've had very little drama (knock on wood) here and the small amount I've had made me pull my hair out, lol. I can only imagine the BS he's had to deal with. Hell, some of it was on my account.

It takes a little while for new posters to get used to all of the functions on here. Once they get the rep bug, they'll start passing it around probably. Oh well, rep is kind of weird on this site anyway. I wouldn't mind if they just did away with it completely to be honest with you. Plus, like you alluded to, they talk so fast in the GDT's, it might be too hard to rep somebody and keep caught up in the thread, lol.

The old ESPN boards were pretty cool. I posted very rarely, I was more of a lurker. I joined back in 2002 but I was a yute back then and nobody ever really responded to any of my posts, lol. I really liked reading Brute, Doyle, FSS, Balzac and Jobu. That said, the only thing I didn't like about that old board was the pitbul/mob mentality. Anybody who got picked on by one of the regs there would be blacklisted. That's why I never really posted much.....well that and I was drunk most of the time in College, lol. That's why sometimes I'm a little over-the-top harsh on tzill even though he's a good dude. I don't want any lurkers or new posters to the board to think that our entire board is on attack mode if you happen to disagree with one of our (the regulars) viewpoints. Everybody should get a fair shake imhumbleo.....now if you prove to be a dbag, then get the fuck out




Also, good to see you again Nate! Welcome back

I've been a lurker on most all of the Giant boards for many years. Never really much cared to post because of the mentality you mention (pitbull etc). Really shouldn't be about that but many times it is. Just isn't worth the hassle. This board is different. There are disagreements but there aren't any all out wars. Everyone is entittled to their opinion. We are not here to shape history but more so to be witnesses to it and post about it. I sort of live by MSGs or TZILLs manta of "they know more than us' so I'll go with their opinion at the moment. The only real posters I have had issue with (other than Tito) are those that live in a negative universe, and we all know who that is and his many other names. Just gets tiresome. I like coming here because it's generally a very positive place to be. The Disney board is like - well - a troll's paradise and I think it takes its toll on the average fan. Really takes the enjoyment out anything the forum has to offer

 

[tzill]

Very nice game tonight for the Niners. To be fair, not sure it goes this well if Ben R is not hobbled but still. Andy Lee is sick. And the kicker comparison shows how valuable Akers is. Hat tip to ColinCoby.

Since my preferred teams (Bears and Raiders) decided to go all 2011 Giants on me (injuries = no playoffs), I've only got the Niners still in the hunt to care about. And the Packers proved me wrong by being beatable, so anything can happen...

It was a ton of fun at the Stick last night...blackouts notwithstanding. Ton of black and gold clad folks, to many of which I said "thanks for spending your money in SF, now please go back to Pennsylvania."

 

[tzill]

I decided to lurk all game on the sportshoopla Niners board. They really do post fast and furious over there. Whew!

The one constant is the negativity of he who shall not be named. Ever.Single.Positive.Play the Niners made was met with criticism. He should have run out of bounds. He should NOT have run out of bounds. Etc.

And the repeated "game over" comments when the Niners are up by ten points, or as soon as the Steelers scored, it was, "Well, it was a good try..." Sad sack of steaming .........



Go Niners!

This may get me banned over there, but I tracked his pantshitting on the GDT. Seventy fucking six turds he posted....

amazing even for him.

Noted, and I've made an effort to dial it back. Unless/until the fucking sack of shit pops back up under another nic.

lol, dude I thought you lost your mind over there. I'd be careful over there, even though most of the folks don't like Mozart, I'm not sure you have a ton of support there either. Just give up the Ghost D) already. Who gives a feck about that idiot.....if they want to put up with his shit over there, more power to them.

The way you're posting on that board, it makes you look much worse than numbnuts (in their eyes).

Yeah, you're probably right. Seriously, though, I was amazed at the number of shats he could drop on one thread.

In a bizarre kind of way, I'm a little in awe.

The blackouts were hilarious. James Harrison apparently tweeted during one of them: "Blackout! If I can't play, can't nobody play."

Just shows how badly they need to move to Santa Clara.

 

[filosofy29]

Yup, my presumed sock puppet is starting to come out of his guise.

I looked on over the 9er GDT vs Pitt and I saw Tzill's name thinking: heh, that must be anti- FUD post. Little did I know you did a janitorial job on the ENTIRE thread picking up all his panshatting to do a forum montage. And boy was that a lot of SHIT. I was laughing my ass off.

Haven't been here in awhile...just wanted to say that I am sad he isn't going to be a Giant.

The guy can hit a country mile and he looks absolutely ripped. But in watching the videos, not once do I see him ever even attempt to shorten his swing or adjust to the pitch. The guy has a long, looping swing no matter the circumstances and while he may be able to get away with that in the Dominican League, he has better be able to make that adjustment of he will get eaten alive in the Majors.

Thank you, my alt. I expected to find about 20 shats...seriously. But then the hits kept rolling and rolling....I wasted an hour this morning on it but somehow feel vindicated. Seventy-Six fucking turds in ONE thread....

I mean, I know I'm a bit off (who chronicles these things if not a slightly off person?) but DAMN he's a fucking nutcase.

EXACTLY why we (I) respect you. You definitely take it too far, IMHO (and I have called you out on it, so this is no surprise), but you own your fucked-up-ness.

He-Who-Shall-Go-Unnamed (HWSGU?) never acknowledges anything of the sort.

I don't want to go look, but I may. The one that floored me, even for MG, was when the 49ers made the second field goal to go up 6-0, and the post was something like, "Well, can't score from the red zone. That's the game." And the Niners were AHEAD at the time.

This should be repped, only for being like Tim Robbins crawling half a mile through the sewer in Shawshank, crawling through all the posts on the Niners board to find FUD's deuces.

Unfortunately, the rep will have to come from elsewhere, as the United Socialist Republics of SportsHoopla forbids me from distributing any more rep to Tzill without "evening it out" to others.

Maybe I should rep filo, he really needs it with his 10,000+ reps now.

Bench Alex Smith | Facebook

I don't know who Marcus is but if Marcus is Cazic then yes I think this guy might be Marcus. What is the matter with people who the fuck would waste their time to set up an account like that and actually post in it?

I mean there should be one out there for Dick "Dude I'm such a Dick" Cheney but I wouldn't waste my time setting one up.

But one for Alex Smith?

 

[sfsportsfan]

Marcus is LivinDisUp amongst many other names im drawing a blank on. but yeah, you might be right. i forgot about Caz
