Ahh, yes. The beginning of the end for the happy SF community! I do remember that well.

He's no longer banned and can come back anytime he likes, if he so chooses. He was abrasive, but funny as hell. :lol:

And welcome back, Hindes! :drink:

That right there is the true tea. The only administrator/moderator I liked was Mach 1.

Aww Thanks.

Umm No I didn't follow the clique. You have absolutely no idea what went one behind scenes between mods or admins, good and bad.

Understatement of the week that Mach steered his own course and was not a follower of any alleged clique :drink:

Mach was my first friend on Steelers Fever 10 years ago. :drink:

I even remember that avatar that was your dog's nose. lol.

Those were the days.

I really wish he were around for the first few years of Arians being the head coach here in Phoenix. Some of those threads would have been absolutely precious.

He was over at SF with me. (Hence, why I refer to him as Gopher.)

The problem was, he hijacked EVERY single thread. It was funny... until you were trying to discuss a real topic.

You are correct.

For half a second, when SF died, I was on both boards... but mostly (85%) here. Anyway, when I was over there, an old troll reared his head and started trolling me... and the mods basically asked me to leave (so, I did). A few days later, that troll went off on the mods (proving me right). I haven't even looked at that board since then.

I miss IowaSteelers927, though. He was a great, great person.

First of all, Mach is/was awesome. I've never met anyone (except for QuackJack) who didn't get along with him. Really. Mach is, as I said, awesome.

Secondly, it was a HERD (not a clique). :wink02:

No, not Crash - he's still very much banned and will remain that way. Craic and I are talking about Suitanim, or simply "Suit."

Suit is this guy:

It depended on the day (or, our mood). :toofunny:

I've got one...

TAPES18N1

SHORT VERSION:
He thought Hitler was great. No, you didn't read that wrong, nor is he being misrepresented. He loved him some Hitler. :scared:

LONG VERSION:
He was your typical Taperiots fan: egotistical. :lol: Truthfully, he was actually alright. He was like Crow, in the fact that he was generally very respectful; plus, TAPES provided well-thought-out banter. Heck, he even posted well on the off-topic threads (e.g. he was a fan of Airplane!). No joke: he was a good guy to have around...

...until...

...one day, he started talking about how great Hitler was. WTF!?! We all thought that his words were being taken out of context. Nope. With each post from there on out, his racism became more & more glaring (and more & more sickening). When he said (something along the lines of): "By killing 6 million Jews, Hitler was actually help save them from damnation" was the final straw. He tried to come back, but he was neither remorseful nor took any ownership of his misdoings.

I've heard he's been banned from Taperiots boards, as well.


I hope that I never encounter a poster like him again.

I can do that because, unlike them, I'm not a sad and pathetic loser, wallowing in self-pity and utterly minimized by so many Patriot beat downs that i've been reduced to little more than an incoherently rambling conspiracy theorists with PDS.

There's a lot of Buffalo fans no doubt lurking our forum now after their week #1 Superbowl victory.
I think it's important that they know that we care for their plight, and have nothing but admiration for their big win over a team we destroy annually by triple digits. I mean, they themselves might be completely classless, chalking up GOAT coaching and quarterback play as the result of illegally serving warm gatorade on the sidelines, but we aren't, so we can be gracious and give credit where it's due.

Dear Buffalo fans:
I'm happy you have something to feel good about, given how shitty and irrelevant your backwards, ghost town city is, and how horrible all your football seasons are. Your job probably sucks, and I'm sure your hillbilly girlfriends are hideous. It's okay, because today is your day.

Congratulations, guys.

And remember, I say this as a Patriot fan because Patriot fans are just classier than you are.

P.S. Don't forget to double team Gronk, and jam him at the line.

:lol:

The 'trash talker' troll doesn't bother me one bit. I think we can all put on our trash talk caps and play along, or ignore if not in the mood for it. It's the monotonous, derail every thread with the same opinion, troll that gets on my nerves. They all end up on the ignore list sooner or later.

Didn't he start a thread on why hitler was better than stalin? :crazy:

And Patsie fans don't lurk around other team's forums and trash talk about how much better their team is than every other team? At least Buffalo fans aren't a bunch of bandwagon jumpers who started rooting for their team when they started to get good

Yep.

For some reason, he thought that that made his plight better. Saying that Hitler is "better" than Stalin does not make Hitler a good guy. As I told him, that's like saying that Charles Manson is "better" than John Wayne Gacy, because Manson killed fewer people.

keep an eye out for Suit, he may make an appearance, lol

its been a crazy couple of years, hope to make it on here more often, things have settled down a little

One of the administrators I really liked from SF was Galax Steeler. I think I was already a member here as I was so thoroughly disgusted and fed up with SF by the time he became an administrator over there, but I will never forget how kind he was and came here to tell me he had just been appointed an administrator there and asked me to come back. I hold those random acts of kindness very close to my heart because he didn't have to do that. I'll never forget that.

Also, I liked listening to all the country music videos he posted. :lol:

I have never been in this forum before. Just happened to stop by. I would also like to say thanks for the kind words. Talking football is fun. Talking AFCN is real fun. Trolling is simply something I just don't get. Maybe one too many shots to an unhelmeted head.

Football season is underway. Patriots 10-Chiefs 7. Can't wait until Sunday!

So has Boston Blackie Cracked the top 100? :wink02:

I think he is basically an ok guy.

Just a bit irritating at the moment.

One of the biggest problems with trolls from other teams is that they disrespect forum etiquette. They think it's the internet and we all have equal rights to post whatever we want. Forum etiquette understands and respects that if you are on another team's forum then you are a GUEST and as such you don't override your place. You don't break the unwritten rules. You don't disrespect the members.

Personally, I've never gone on another team's forum. I don't have the time or interest. But if I did, I would show respect.

Then, of course there are the very overt trolls who are just there to talk trash. They usually last about a day.

Well stated.

We have our own Steeler trolls as well. Some are obsessed w/coming back here and stirring up crap after being kicked out numerous times.

They always “Crash” the party...

Boston blackie appears the exception. He's been allowed to stay for months despite being there to basically trash talk almost the entire time. Frankly, He's lasted months longer than he should have

For the most part, he has been (which is why he's had as much rope as he's been given) but he's really been pushing it lately...

I just gave my opinion on the Harrison situation because I think it represents an intertesting emploee/employer problem. Really, that's the truth. And, to be totaly honest, it's getting close to chrunch time, and that stirs the competitive jucies. But I've got 'em back under control.

IMO, you’re a good guy... but, you chose the wrong thread/wrong topic to chime in on.

The James Harrison situation is a very emotional one for Steelers fans... and, right or wrong, you were going to get lambasted by everyone. In other words, you probably should have just simply avoided that topic.

Point taken.

Wow, it's been a long time. Been caught up on Facebook all the time, and don't go to message boards very much anymore. Glad to see some familiar names.

Met Galax Steeler a couple of times at our tailgates, he is a real nice guy in person also.

Ah the trolls, there were some classics on SF, and a few at SX during my short tenures on both forums.

Speaking of Mods/Admins - Mach is good people, very level headed guy, and definitely not a follower. I'm sure there's people that hate my guts as well, don't really care. Part of being an Admin/Mod is that you're probably going to piss people off sometimes, goes with the territory. At the end of the day we're all Steelers fans, we're all part of one big Steeler family. I don't want to hold grudges, life's too short for that.

Crash has actually been allowed to log back in over at SX. I think Crash has had his issues but the guy is intelligent and knows the game, I hope that things work out for him because I'd rather he be contributing as a member of the forum, versus being banned.

My favorite troll was Timmah, that guy is comedic gold. Like I can't even believe he's actually real, that's how dumb that guy is. At first I thought someone created him, like a character of sorts for everyone's entertainment. Then I found his facebook page...
