Since we're on the subject of how we were introduced to the old boards...
A friend of mine kept bugging me to sign up for an account. We'd always talk Bengals and, no surprise, I'd crack a lot of jokes at Marvin and Mike's expense. He thought I'd enjoy the forums. I was reluctant to sign up, and what's funny is I ended up posting as much as I did, while he never got into it.
Anyways, my introduction to the boards was the smack talk forum. Which was a little weird. I came in guns a blazing. Lotta insults directed at the Steelers guys, which I thought was the point of smack talk but I guess I was wrong. A few of them took exception to some (much) of what I said. I think I called them a bunch of bandwagoners and accused them of having tribal tattoos and things of the sort. I definitely remember calling them a bunch of internet dorks, which didn't go over too well. The really strange thing was there were a number of Bengals fans throughout this exchange that were siding with them and ripping me. Trying to explain to that they were pretty cool guys and I was being a dick. And here I thought I was just talking smack the entire time (I was). I started out my Bengals board career with something like -145 rep points, and manage to piss off both Steelers and Bengals fans for talking shit.
I then proceeded to argue with people in JN for about 3 months straight that Matt Jones wasn't a good signing, and was in actuality a pile of hot garbage. That didn't go over well either. Board vets like Fred Toast called me a hater for ripping on a "proven #1". Ahh, good times.
