I can just imagine the epic battles you had with fans from other teams..... We could fire jabs with the best of 'em. If a person stuck around long enough, we'd find the weak spot and just tear at 'em. Especially if they tried get personal. But at times it was no holds barred...I've had my work picture, e-mail, my boss' e-mail posted as people loved to try to hurt me by saying "I'd think a teacher would be better than that" as if my occupation really dictates mine or anyone else's demeanor on a message board. Hey, if they want to drop the gloves...I'm more than happy to oblige. I still remember that one clown who threatened to arrest us; but then we found out he wasn't really a police officer, but he worked at a jail. We told him where he could meet us before and after a game...the guy never showed. We've busted so many liars over the years too...some of it pretty shameful stuff. Like the guy who said he was a Marine to try to get us to back off...but we shredded his 'story' pretty fast and he ran away. PTO, do you think HawgWild still keep the old Wild Message Board Fantasy league going? Because of the lack of moderation; it really was kind of like hockey. We policed ourselves. We had a few people that didn't mind being the enforcers who would battle it out with the trolls. Yet at times, the wars got exhausting not just for the posters involved but for the boards themselves. Its good we don't really have to do that anymore. Some posters left for Hockey's Future, because of us (or that's what they said). Still, there were more fun moments than contentious ones. I didn't hang out on the General Forum; but at times that was helpful for people talk and vent about job / employment issues when the economy wasn't doing so hot. Everyone needs a place to vent and let off steam every once in a while, why not an hockey message board?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The silly.com site most of the Flyers fans here originally came from contained the famous "I would like to thank..." topic. It was well over 10,500 posts and a bear to read it in its entirety but it shared the history of 8 years of hilarious posting of many different members. Including posts of when @ruxpin and I somehow switched screen names via some software bug for when I clicked on his screenname I went from hockeyfan101 to ruxpin with thousands of posts. LOL the topic started again on day 3 of this site but got lost in the shuffle of topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, Antti, me... We're so rotten! Once upon a time before all the frilly pansies left the forum and went to HF boards. I almost miss all the huge negative ratings.

rottenrefs Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 @pilldoc very similar to when we have people come to the board and 'tell us like it is' and they're 180 degrees off base and obviously still living in their parents basement. A special bonus is when fans have access to an x-box and come tell us how hockey is supposed to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yes - there was a thread for "Sarcasm" One of my posts Quote Yesterday I did not tell the company secretary she was dumber than a rock. Someone else beat me to it. I was so disappointed I wanted to scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenrefs Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Here was another: popeschmoll said: I like it when my wife wants to talk. Oh god. This is why they never have 'reduced prices' on bullets anymore. - The only thing I love more than working on Saturdays is taking all my tools out of the shed, setting up everything to start an ALL DAY project and 30 minutes later the girlfriend calls needing me to bring her a nail file or something. - Evidently I might be married. - I was not late for work this morning. Everyone else just got there before I did. - I feel devious. All day long I've been wanting to ask the secretary how much horse power one horse has but I'm afraid she won't get it that it's an insulting prank on her. (Cause she won't know the answer.) *sigh* - Evidently where I work they breed crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was Richards response..."Have to watch the video..." Every time the team lost or there was a major blunder and a reporter asked him about it, he'd say "We'll have to watch the video on that play to see what happened...". Yeo never called anyone out. It was always a team response."We'll see how we respond in the next game. It's a long season..." "We had a good game. We'll just try to carry this into the next game..." Yeo reminded me of that scene in Bull Durham where Crash Davis is lecturing Nuke LaLoosh on how to respond to reporters with all the cliches when they ask him questions...it's an answer, it just doesn't say anything. At least Lemaire would have the guts to call the players out. I remember one game against the Carolina Toilet Swirlies when the Wild were just awful. To just about every reporters question, Lemaire responded "I don't know. You need to go ask those guys in the locker room." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I...but honestly...Chris Stewart is a scoring machine for me in that game too. So there's that...I have Landon Ferraro on my 4th line and he's been chipping in goals lately too.
