Same here. I was way more active on Indy Star. I like this place, but I miss the Star too.

I miss the early years of the Star board....

The later years? Not so much. So much banning....

I mean we still have a guy here that eats cookies for breakfast so we aren't that normal.


we do have some great fans here (minus dam of course) and I am glad this place has been around for so long. I started posting here in like 2002 I think. something like that.

I too started posting in 2002, around 12:30 a.m. the morning of Monday Nov. 25th to be exact. Mike Vanderjagt had just kicked the winning overtime fg in snowy Mile High Stadium. I had been a lurker for a few years but I just had to join in the festivities after that electric Sunday night game.
Damn that was a crazy bunch on that board with trolls like Paintonhisaloosir sp? and the Miami troll who picked fights. I remember threats and addresses being exchanged lol. I think the Miami fan described himself as being capable of kicking ass because he had “a swimmer’s body” rofl. Of course we had the Church of the Second Chance CO2C with Reverend DaCoats and all of our loyal parishioners!
There was also some girl (Amber maybe?) who posted smokin’ hot pics and another who was on a serious power trip. Jeesh I can’t remember them all. And while names escape me I still remember some wonderful posters who we sadly lost to death over the years and too the occasions when members candidly shared the passing of a beloved family member or fellow colts fan. The board has certainly changed over the years but it has always proved to be the best place to get an education on football and enjoy some nonsense while decompressing. I wish I could add something more meaningful to the board than being a game day observer and occasional smart ass but I am grateful for having a place to come share my love and frustration of the Colts with a group of thick skinned malcontents who have far more football knowledge than I’ll ever possess.

Damn that was a great! Almost on par with the 2003 Tampa comeback.

Such a forgotten game too. Vandy hit the the game tying and winning FG in the snow. I just checked it out PFR, and they were 51 and 54 yds.

I was also lucky enough to get banned from Colts.com and find this place. I am really glad I did, I am kind of the class clown here and I know I probably wear thin at times, but I appreciate the way I have been welcomed here, I almost feel like a regular now!

By the way, I was a moderator on Indy Star forums years ago, and no, I am not providing my user name!
Let me add, it wasn't on the Colts forum so I did not ban any of you!

[ChoppedWood]

Banned from Rats, banned from Colts, probably a couple others along the way. Man I remember posting some evil shit towards 3effin! Somehow never banned here but have lost a couple user names along the way.

I wrote a few pieces for Ed back in the day- can't recall what site that was? That was in like 99' - 2000 era?

Man it's been a long time doing this shit and the memory isn't what it once was. Someone mentioned addresses being exchanged in a volatile thread. That might have been me and Puck? I remember a multi-months war with someone, it was brutal. Some of the horrific shit we threatened each other with- all over football- hilarious! I can recall posting some of the stuff and actually having to wipe away tears as I typed because it was so incredibly ludicrous and thinking that would have to cross some form of line that would cause banning- but it didn't. Then I would read the response and laugh so hard I cried then too because it would be something even more insane like threatening to beat up my mom for bringing someone so stupid into the world. I remember it being so out of control we were talking about killing wives and children, just insanity, but also incredibly fun.

This little community has developed into a place where you know if you come here to post, it's gonna be real, it's gonna be raw, and you better be prepared to hear every possible view and be willing to accept every angle. I love the fact it's not all bubble gum and lollipops, all the other sites are so sanitized it's not even worth interacting.

Holy smokes the Ballard boot lickers at .com are nauseating. One in particular
