hail2skins Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I thought about whether to start a thread for a milestone post number, but screw it. Close to 18 years ago I heard that a number of fans who had been active on another site had formed Extreme Skins, so thought it'd be a fun place to join. Back then the Skins had undergone a bit of a dry spell in rebuilding after a significant time of glory, but after winning a division title in '99, thought we were back on the verge of greatness. I remember a NY Times article saying that they might as well etch "Washington Redskins" on the Lombardi to be presented following the 2000 season. Well, we all know what happened that season, and 18 years later, we are all hoping for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Anyway, I wanted to use the occasion of my 10,000th post to thank the ES community for making this a special place. From Die Hard, Om, and the others who started this place, to lunatics like Zoony and RufusTFirefly.......hell, every one of you.........for the great conversations and the laughter. We've been through a lot, from the euphoria of Saint Joe returning to commiserating over the senseless murder of #21 ST, and a whole lot of stuff in between. You guys are truly a cool bunch, and the Xs and Os knowledge and everything else you have imparted have, and will continue to mean, a lot to me. Keep on making ES a great place!!

Audible_Red40 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Congrats, and keep up the good work around here. Yeah back in the day, we say a few more posts like this. And really was a milestone when you could change your avatar from graduating up levels from rookie to bench warmer to field goal team etc. Was always exciting to see new avatars to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortisBetts Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I have been here 10 years and am not even close to that number. Congrats! Edit.....does 10 years count as a milestone? I want a party in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Congrats on those 10k hail2skins! Good job buddy. Keep it up. I agree that this is a cool place to be. And count me in for the ES cap or jacket or whatever the mods want to throw us. That's well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm creeping up on 10 years here and not even close. If Tailgate posts counted, I would probably be well over 10k. I spend way to much time in there. I usually just read the Stadium. Many of the threads move to fast for me. That and some of the discussions here get a bit rabid. Congrats!

That's 2K posts a year roughly, which is like 6 posts a day., everyday, for 13 years... You sure you got a life besides ES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissident2 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 When I saw this post, I thought it was a reference to SM's wife and the tweet she made to Russini during that scandal. She said something like, "enjoy grinding for five figures." So, a little disappointed, as I really wanted to revel in that filth again. But congratulations.
