Who was here before the ESPN Exodus?

Accidentally posted this on the NFL General forum...

I'm just curious if any of the regulars here pre-dated the ESPN exodus when the rest of us came over running from Egyptians trying to impale us with Facebook accounts.

For clarity, I meant the first ESPN Exodus that happened a few years ago.

 

[CalamityX11]

I would think Ray was here before all of the first wave came through.

 

[xJuicex]

Everyone who has a aug/sept 11' join date.

I joined when ray first posted about this site. Funny thing is i don't know if I've ever been on this site from my desktop. Always using phone. I need an app.

I think Cmon from the ESPN sharks board and filo from the MLB Giants board migrated us over here to talk hockey. Then I figured I would try and get the 49ers board going since ESPN sucked so bad with the new formats.

Not me. But it did remind me of going on the ESPN board and not finding any of the usual posters or the usual info on the team.

This is from the oldest posts, in order - except bumped posts will show up later, so if there's a really old post bumped, it'll show up later... Now, you just have to remember who was from ESPN.

Thought those links would show up just as the usernames... Not going through to edit them. Ray Dogg was the biggest early bird - often posting seemingly to himself. As a newbie, he started new threads for each signing - unlike us advanced folk who post in one big giant signings thread. He was the one most responsible for getting people here and started. Thanks, Ray!

Dropping back to page 92 of 93, this is the funniest thread. http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/san-francisco-49ers/39261-erckm510-sign-back-up.html

We should have a SportsHoopla Exodus day. Meaning once a year, we go back to the ESPN board to chat with them. Tolerate that nasty format of theres for an entire day.

Great idea, does anyone know if Cazic, CaliKid, Mackdown and others tried to jump on and poison this board or did they just stay in the stinkhole they created for themselves? By the way, my profile says I joined September 2011, for whatever that's worth. I was aps510 on the ESPN board.

 

[CalamityX11]

thought the espn boards were taken down?

hmmm.. I think it's too late for this idea... I believe the ESPN forums are closed already..

 

[jayviabay]

I came over when it was announced all the regulars were migrating here. On espn i used fnatic and jmo

 

[Pattersonca65]

Which exodus? The inital exodus or the latest with the closure of the ESPN boards? I opened an account here when Freebase, Cazic, and the rest of the anti-Alex Smith gang hijacked the ESPN boards.

 

[purguy12]

To be fair I came from CBS. I did ESPN but just because CBS went down. So I was on ESPn for 3 months.

You didnt miss much. It was okay for a little stretch. But it was mostly crap between the Anti-Smith crap and then the Seahawk troll invasion

The initial one in 2011.

I'm curious who was here before then.

 

[Dodub]

I came around the same time as everyone else, maybe a week or two later since I was taking a break at that time. I remember going to the ESPN board and seeing only posts from people who I did not know and NC, then someone (I think Ray) told me that everyone had moved over to this board.
