    "Well, there was another group, in the east end, called the Originals and we had to rename ourselves, the New Originals."

    The board started in 2000. I remember joining right around when Al Groh resigned.

    Yep. Petrozza was advertising that he was creating a new Jets site on the old ESPN message boards. I think I remember first posting here around the Ravens disaster where Vinny threw for 481 yards against the 2000 Ravens defense and still lost because Jermaine freaking Lewis returned 2 punts for scores, and Vinny threw a pick six to McAlister.

    I remember that. Wifey and I were in Vegas and we stopped by Skinny's and met all you guys there. It was a great Sunday but for the life of me, I don't remember if we won that day or not. Must have been the beer..:grin:

    ugh that was a terrible game... i found out about the board in the same way. i had just started looking at the crappy espn boards and petro was out there advertising. he was very involved back in the beginning and really did a great job letting people know about the site. it was a bit different back then and they didnt take any guff or stupidity. its definitely a different board, i can remember being reprimanded a few times back in the early days for saying things that were off color.

    I remember the old forum before vBulletin.

    I was only 13 years old when I registered in 2004. Time flies...

    I browsed this site for a long time before I decided to join. I think I was a Junior in high school when I first started lurking. That was like 2005, fast forward to now, I'm now a college graduate. Time really flies.

    ...or

    Act like an ass, get labelled, and light faggots on fire.

    I feel like it was a bad idea to give Jabba props. That creepy, potential pedophile may return after this.

    I think I was around before 2002 - I didn't even know the server went down at that time. I think I joined about a month after the server went up again or so.

    Sheesh. I've been in this forum for 10 years!? Wow!!
