When did all of you knuckleheads stumble onto the CFN board?
i found a post of mine on waybackmachine from august 05. i feel certain i was on before then. i got married in 04 and was on before i got married i know.

i don't remember exactly when it was i joined, but i remember what made me stay. me and tk, along with a few other bammers and barners but mostly us two, were jawing it out. and tk posted something about being thankful he finally had a counterpart.

Way back then i don't think it was overly common to post in forums.. I know i used to visit the site often, read everyone's comments but not post often. So you could have been a lingerer similar to my early days . I do know it was before 2004. I found a wayback machine where I posted as Mario4heisman07 because I saw him in person in '04 in high school and was so excited to see him go to UM. That was my second name because the forum portion changed and we had to register again with new names and I can't remember what my original name even was. 

Early days were awesome because after lingering for so long, it was like college football fan heaven because i would venture to the scout boards and those people were over the top crazy and the people at CFN were so reasonable.. and I could never figure out how AAA had so much time to do tall the things he did.

I forgot about that. 

Subconsciously- I liked him better when the “AA” turned to “ EL”

When did all of you knuckleheads stumble onto the CFN board?
I'm a bucknut get it right you flea bitten badger,actually I had been using CFN  Staff writers picks(Fuitak,Cimerello,Zemek,etc.) as wagering tool when I was shall we say an aggresive investor.One day thru my bloodshot eyes I noticed an icon for the message boards and showed my self in.Of course factoring in my engaging personality many requested I show myself right the hell out. So I stuck around thru 3 board changes. That was in '02-'03 but didn't really start posting until '04 1st posters i fell in with were Gatorama and Dudek(who I'd like to see post again).Think he went by carrismyhomeboy back then,good exchanges considering they were UM guys and Tressel was turning things around.Mario went by a different name but was around.

 Mdot got the ban hammer about 3X as I recall he went from Grove Blue then to More Carr Less Miles or sumsuch.Back then the exchanges were must see TV the jousts made Archie Bunker and Meathead seem tame.Big 12 Board held court and was the center of activity mostly - absolutely fetching. Would have been nice if more posters made the trip over but Drew,847 and others made transition fairly easy to follow so we're not hard to find. I know Buckeye Crazy checked back in about 2 yrs back - think she was in Cali - then disappeared just as quickly

Yeah, it's tough... It definitely wasn't that early for me as I didn't find the boards until after college, and I graduated Dec 2000.

It was after that that I ended up moving to the West Coast and didn't really have a college football fix for Big Ten info. I'm sure it was probably somewhere in the 2002-2005 range for me...

Does anyone remember the actual history of which board was which as we made the various migrations, and/or when they occurred?
Didn't you have your own BLOG - Magnificent Fascist Bastard or some crazy title?

I don't know much about wayback machine, but I clearly remember my first post here, and I'd just as soon no one ever find it :)

Man, I changed a lot in a short amount of time.

I did. My title might have been crazy, but I wouldn't call not apologizing for being an individual to be self-aggrandizing, advocating state control of economies, or suggesting I am of questionable progeny.

I posted on the "real" college football version of an EA NCAA message board for a couple years (2000-01?) but that board totally died in the offseason.  To be honest, I don't even know how I found CFN, but I know it was in the spring of 2003.  Because I was still at Indiana, and I was floored by the level of good offseason activity.  I was on a very good board, but it would pick up every July when the EA game was launched, but would die after the bowls.  Then you had the AOL, CNN, chat rooms, which had just way too much garbage activity
