SabreSpace Poster Anniversaries

I don't remember what I did before The Sabres Report.

 

My mother used to cut sabres and bills articles out of the buffalo news and mail them to me when I was in college.

 

And then I would walk barefoot, uphill both ways, to the college post office to get my packages.

My aunt did the same thing for me sometimes... but I went to college in the internet era.

I missed it by a few years - when did Al Gore invent the internet, again?

I think I actually started in March of '07. The board crashed in March 2008, thus my new start date. The crash erased a full year, I completely got erased, had to start over.

 

So that's what happened! I was alone in the dark wondering where everyone went.

Each time old man PA posts, I notice that he joined the board on my birthday. What a crappy present that was.

 

LOL, PA is okay sometimes, can't believe I said that............ :unsure:

I was right up near the top for a while when I was un- and under-employed, but the soul-sucking job really limited my time to post. Plus the last couple years of the LQ/TG/SGM's era I really got tired of the same old, same old, and really limited how much I posted.

 

Even after all that and the Great Board Crash I'm still in the top-10. Need to pick up the pace, though.

I absolutely remember a previous incarnation of this, or some other, board from back in the day. I'm certain that one or two of the posters that are here now were on that board - maybe 10 years ago or so?

 

 

There is still Sabresfans out there - that might be the one if I recall as well. I haven't been over there in a long time. Many years ago I posted a ton over there - well if each post is a pound then I posted many multiple tons over there.

 

Edit - that has to be the place. I see the administrator named goatlord - I remember that user.

Anyone remember alt.sports.hockey.nhl.buffalo-sabres or whatever the usenet newsgroup was? That's where my fix came from when I lived away from Buffalo.

Nope. But I used to post to (IIRC) alt.sports.hockey.nhl (back in '89 there wasn't enough traffic to have it subdivided by team - d*mn, now I feel old). My 'signature' was "A Sabres fan in hockey purgatory."

 

All this talk about post counts made me check the members list. How the heck am I still on the 1st page? I was sure I'd have dropped to the 2nd or 3rd page by now.

Nice thing about the 'interwebs' - You're only as old as you say you are in your profile! ;)

 

I see a member named 'ohsabrfan' - hasn't logged on since 3.18.2009. Was that you?

That site was another one that had computer crashes that wiped out all the old info.

No...I'm pretty sure I haven't logged in there since I registered here. May have been one of my kids tho.

Starting a Tim Connolly thread? Are you trying to get me to 20k posts?

 

Closet Connolly fan? You can admit it.. We're all e-friends...

Having SS on my iPhone homescreen makes it WAY too convenient to post. I was leading the way a couple years back but personal problems, work promotions and a lack of anything interesting led to a lag in posting. Now I'm working my way back to the top.

 

Although I'm guessing my 2 week vacation to Florida is going to put a damper on things for a bit.O

I seem to remember having more posts before I took a 3 year hiatus... maybe the infamous board crash of '08 did me in?

 

Anyone know if there is a way to see posters' previous handles? Like, dude, who are you?

Click on their username to go to their profile page. Then you can click on something like "view display name history" on the left side of that page.

Thanks, I guess it was right there under my nose the whole time.

Yeah well I figured for the return I couldn't go with a Gaustad-centric handle since he is relegated to 4th line/faceoff winner duty.

I lost a TON of posts in the great crash. That was back in my more fervent days. I definitely post less now.

 

Same here...

 

I think I was close to 3000 back then.
