it wasn't a pm. it was a post for all to see.

he knew some "jersey guys" who were on their way to texas where the offender lived.

that was during the great troll war at espn when some of the really seasoned folks at the basketball and football boards visited horse racing.

the board bully just had a meltdown. it was fantastic.

it should be written. During a short period in April and May we had The Study Group Scandal, The Barbaro Breakdown Aftermath, and then The Troll War. It was too much and the place collapsed. Many refugees took shelter here.

ah, yes...the good old days.

but out of everything mentioned, i don't think anything compares to being threatened with the fbi, cia and secret service...among others. repent was always good for a laugh.

If I remember correctly, there were some college students who posed as seriously interested posters, but made outrageous statements just to get the regulars riled up. They then claimed it was part of a class project or something.

I used to post on TT, but I think I managed to miss most of this. I was only there for the last year or so of that forum.

I used to have stupid slanging matches with BB, usually when I was full of some awful acoholic beverage. Those were the days, eh?

i used to as well, and then it went belly up--the azeri/lukas/long whip thread was a classic.

I can't even remember the name I posted under on that forum, never mind which threads there were. I just remember having many many arguments with BB over complete nonsense.

Those were the college days, and there was rarely a night when I didn't get back completely smashed, in an angry kind of way. So I usually took the anger out on him.

I think I kept mostly to the international section back then.

Good times.

Why was the TT forum shut down. I never got the full story.

someone in the industry threatened a lawsuit--at least, that was the reason that was given.
i didn't go there much, espn was where i usually posted. but then one disappeared, and the other should have!!!

the azeri thread is one that sticks out for some reason. other than that....
