Hell, even Chisoxfn sort of surprises me at this point. Gage was way ahead of everyone in the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 They both destroy soxtalk's bandwidth and they both fight in nearly every thread (unless it's with Marty/Victory/Greg, etc. then they agree) with both stubborn to get the last word in, so obviously it'll be southsider (though personally, I hope Balta catches him. Mike's been at the top long enough over the years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) Gage was way ahead of everyone in the old days. Soxtalk pre 2005 was like the dead ball era in this website's history. Reaching a high number of posts in those days wasn't easy. There wasn't nearly the amount of posters or threads as now, or the wide variety of subforums. Makes me wonder what the hell we talked about back then. But boy, did we ever argue and just berate each other constantly. Any old timers remember that one huge fight we got into back in 2003? I want to say Yahtzee Sox began a thread called "Are You Gay?" and it just spiraled out of control. IIRC Cwsox, beastly, cluer, bmr were all banned; and then everyone was b****ing back and forth and taking sides in the aftermath. I love reminiscing about this s***.

kjshoe04 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I believe I started reading the board around 02 or 03. It was way different. Didn't feel the urge to jump in until 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I have only had a thousand or so posts in the past 5 years roughly. Posted a bunch when the going was great. We always seem to refer to a golden time... is this a case of mass hysteria going on... or did such actually happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
