SportsFrog History
The Festitivus thread got me wondering when the SportsFrog got started. It looks like the first post was January 3, 2003. https://web.archive.org/web/20030210062 ... 30101.html

Looks like I joined in May 2004. I forgot that my original username was Dave. I later changed to Rerun, and I've been Shirley for a long time now. https://web.archive.org/web/20070220231 ... b864adf164

If you click into that first link and to go the Swamp, there's a link that takes you to a members list.
Says I joined in February of 2004.

Re: SportsFrog History
Bummer, looks like they only archived the first 3 and last 3 pages of the memberlist. Pretty sure I joined May 2005, shortly before my wedding.

I joined in November 2003, one month after I got sober. In March 2008 my wife joined me on a trip to NYC to participate in the Sports Frog Fantasy Baseball Auction. Had lunch with Howard on Saturday and we went to see Spamalot.

Re: SportsFrog History
Always blows me away that rBaller was such an early member, did he join when he was like 16?
(and I too joined a wife ago. IIRC, I joined a month or two before my first wedding.)

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: SportsFrog History
Didn't post much more back then than I do now, but I'm guessing I joined, or at least started lurking, around the 2004-2005 timeframe. Can't seem to find any reference for that though.

Re: SportsFrog History
Interesting peak into our history. I wonder if I was still primarily lurking then. I thought I joined in May 2005, pretty sure I joined just before I got married. Who'd of thunk that 15 years later I'd still be wasting my time reading your snarky insults and confirmation bias political takes.Ryan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 10:39 am Reminders:

And I'm right there with AB, holding the Maura Tierney torch.
And I still watch DH, though I'm pretty selective at this point. A lot of the ones that came on board after NY and OC are trash (Dallas, Atlanta, Bev Hills) .

My signature (which I'm not sure I ever explained) was a "conversation" my best friend and I had with someone (probably in a bar) while absolutely stoned to the gills one night.

And, yeah, I loved DH... Bunch of cuties. I watch a ton of shit with my wife that I'd never turn on if it was up to just me. In turn, she watches a bunch of stuff that's really more for me (Jack Ryan, The Wire, a ton of documentaries).

Thankfully I outgrew that. I spent to much time reading shit from them and other wingnutty sites. Worse, I used to try to engage in discussions with people. Not on that site, but elsewhere. Pointless.

And yes, 23. Still living in Louisiana and surrounded by clearly influential, unsavory white people.
Hell, I remember a Michelle Malkin thing that I linked to about the flag being upside down or something. I think it alluded to immigrants doing it. Definitely an out of context sorry. It was something your racist uncle would share.
