Between '05 and '09 i was mostly a lurker. It wasn't until right after the playoff loss to the Jets that i became a full time poster, mostly in the Smack forum, making a fool of myself like most newbs do when they come in thinking they have fresh takes and it's just the same ole stuff all newbs talk about to Steelers fans.

I found the mothership in '05, and read regularly until '09 without ever creating an account.  I signed up in '09 because I got tired of reading all of the "we won't make the playoffs if we don't beat the Vikings" posts (there were a bunch).  I signed up with the entire intent to make a thread telling people to calm down about a possible NFC loss as it was meaningless to our potential AFC tiebreaker scenarios.  Only problem was I forgot about the 50 post rule, so I couldn't make the thread before the game arrived.  Then the tragic accident occurred, leading to Slim losing his life.  At that point any comments I had involving the impact of the Vikings on our team were meaningless.
