Skins24 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I was going to start a thread earlier when we had 49,9eightysomething saying we were about to hit 50,000 but got busy at work. A couple hours later we now have 50,012 (last time I saw it). We're gaining about 15 members per hour!? Increadible. Congrats ES for hitting yet another milestone this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's tough to have discussions over in FedEx anymore. It really is. ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartskins Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I just hope in the new members it's not subtraction by addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 You know with all the new members, maybe ES needs more mods. You know to help you all on all your gameday work. Flying out to the games, taking pictures, etc. (and help monitor the boards I guess). It just so happens I did just buy a new camera....and I have been a faithful member since '02 (longer than some mods )....just throwing that out there....

RonJeremy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's tough to have discussions over in FedEx anymore. It really is.......... ain't that the truth. I gave that up when there was about 30,000 members. I liked it better when it was around 15k. me too! Yes, when are we going to shred this veil of bias, and accept a non-Redskins fan moderator? :deal: :cool: how does never sound...sounds like the right answer to me!

SkinsHokieFan Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 You guys remember some of the old trolls? QCard was a Cowboys fan who just a boob I think there was Blazers21, he was Eagles fan, not too trollish but still annoying There were a couple other Iggles fans before Westbrook36 And this board during the summer of 2002, actually thinking the Spurrier offense would work. We were convinced and going crazy during that 4-1 preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were convinced and going crazy during that 4-1 preseason Blazers was probably the best behaved of any opposing team fan here, always respectful and willing to donate money to the site when needed. Met him in person, and he was equally as good a person in real life, as he seemed to be online. Furthest from a troll that you could get. He has since disappeared however. Hope everything is ok.

I was figuring I got confused. I remember you guys both came to the Redskins-Eagles game one year at FedEx I am not sure who I am thinking of then, but my apologies to Blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who you were talking about specifically, but there were some Eagles fans here for a while that enjoyed to stir the pot a bit. Blazers (who changed his sn to EagleSteve), however, wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I saw a thread yesterday that had like 55 replies in 6 minutes. I was thinking about posting, but i didnt want to read 55 posts, and i figured by the time I had typed my thoughts, the post i was quoting would have been 2 pages ago.

Ah the good old days pre Gibbs (around 3k members at that time) when a thread could last 24 hours on the front page Having tons of members here now though has add some spice to the discussion, but this place just moves a bit too fast now, not enough time for real good discourse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It would appear you're all like me.... if it goes off the front page... it's unlikely I'll look at it. However, lately, there haven't been that many threads on the front page that have interested me (or the ones I have read I've read through) so I've actually begun to condition myself to going to pages #2 and #3 now. You guys should try it. There's a certain calmness about reading a part of the site others aren't probably reading. Almost seems to slow the pace down a bit.

Bugs' Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think memberships should of been suspended after 8418....that number seems about right.....hehe. Congrats ES and the founders! Great job on a great site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
