[MFS62]

He likes it here?

Quick!
Huddle up!
We have to figure out what we're doing wrong before he gets back.

Bump. Scrapple's back.

Wow. One of my early posts in this thread. Cool beans.

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Throwing myself in here, even though for the life of me I can't recall who I was on the MOFO all those years ago. =:(

I might have been SteveJRogers as thats my usual forum name (and real name) and the name that I used in my "return" to the MOFO after a 5 or so year "break" from the Internet Met Community (AKA World Series Disapointment Hangover)

When I came A-Board-ick to the CPF last year I think it was under SteveJRogers or a Met related handle like newyorkmetsbaseball

mlbaseballtalk was a changeover on CPF since I was hoping to start signing onto other EZBoard baseball forums (i.e. SoSH) but never really got around to it yet. That handle @aol.com is the address I use for this account so it would make things easy if I ever had to log in rather than something completely unrelated (like SteveJRogers)

I remember you from the olden days. I found Mets Online late '97, early '98
if my memory is correct and have been an Mets internet addict since.

This is from around the second page but made me crack up.

I originally was coming here because I noticed The Hot Corner was back, I hadn't known that was the alter-ego of an already present "new" CPFer.

[The Hot Corner]

Elster, I'm surprised the southern "accent" didn't give me away.

I generally post under my original name (Rockin' Doc) from the old MOFO days. I changed handles (to The Hot Corner) when I joined the CPF so long ago. When the CPF moved here, I decided to return to my original name, for reasons I still don't fathom.

I will update this thread to reflect now having 2 names here.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Unfortunately, the ladies here don't sometimes refer to me as "hottie" because of my looks.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This split personality disturbs me.

I'm afraid you'll start shouting on airplanes before long.

[Guest cooby classic]

I think we should start calling him "Hot Rocks"

[Valadius]

I was wondering where "Hottie" came from.

[Centerfield]

What about some of the new guys...were they with us before? Zvon? Olerud Owned?

[Edgy MD]

Olerud Owned refers to Shinjo as Mr. Sparkle. I'd like to hear where he got that.

Zvon seems gnu.

I'm new, but I saw the nickname on the UMD and liked it, being a Shinjo and Simpsons fan. Sounds like it has a history here, though...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I can't remember who first applied the "Mr. Sparkle" nickname to Shinjo, but it has been synonomous with his name ever since.

Does anyone have a photo of the Mr. Sparkle banner from the 2001 season?

Im new.
I had come across ht e CPF when I was scouring the web for images for that baseball card set.
I looked around but moved on.
As time went on I found myself visiting places like the UMDB more and more. Mets By The Numbers,as well. Then I came across the CPF again and decided to join up.

Alot of it had to do with the fact I liked the direction the Mets have been going in and wanted to talk with other fans about them.
I think what made me decide to enjoy more time here was the game threads. It was really neat to interact with others watching the game while it was going on.
Ill never forget my 1st KABOOM!

lol.

BTW- I am and have been Zvon on-line since I began my internet adventures years ago, and its the only name I go by through out the world wide web.
(or a variation of it)

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ha, I just saw the Shinjo banner in the photo's thread. That's some quality stuff. "AWE-SOMA POWER"

Johnny Dickshot, in a previous incarnation, came up with that one. Classikc!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I ask for a photo of the Mr. Sparkle banner and in less than 30 minutes KC posts not one, but three photos of it. Now that's service.



Our admins rock.

I'm guessing this is the poster "Vegas Nipplerod" at various other forums...

[MFS62]

I asked him about that. I don't recall his answer.

Gold Glove has reported in safe and sound.

[Guest Giant Squidlike Creature]

This also may be good for permanent links or somewhere it doesn't have to be bumped all the time.

[Frayed Knot]

I just find it funny that most of the last 10 people to register (including several in the last few days) have never posted at all.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Another interesting thing is that a number of the new id's have web-site
links that advertise stuff. I wonder if some moran or a group of morans
or some mechanized morans sign up for boards thinking they can sell
shit by doing so.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Does that work?

I can't imagine anyone here buying anything just because some newbie advertises it.

[seawolf17]

Hey, CF went all the way to Latvia just because someone suggested it.

[Guest cooby classic]

Did we lose new members? I thought FuntKlakow was an old new member.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I deleted a bunch of newly signed up posters who had misleading links
to a site advertising ring-tones. My guess is they won't be complaining -
but we'll see.
