Haven’t Seen an 8893 Post in a While

[uchusky32]

He doing really well. He’s a member of the CT Bar now (UConn law grad) still follows all uconn sports religiously and is in a nice relationship. He had a love/hate thing with message boards, and I think the break is great for him.

So your saying he hid his boneyard handle from his employers?

We once had a worst poster March Madness.

I believe you won?

'Oops, I read it wrong. Seven people ignore you.

Probably all happened after he didn’t finish up Scotland story.

Id feel like a total failure if I wasnt in in high double digits.

I bet you dinner I have more than you.

 

[Deepster]

That is impressive, but it has to be cesspool-related if I had to guess. Feels hard to drive that much ill-will on the main boards.

Yeah? Try a decade of "Please move this to the women's board" and Hartford bashing...

 

[temery]

Where is Stainmaster/Strawmaster/Stairmaster?

I honestly can't remember which one was his handle but he was fun.

I think the cesspool broke him. He asked to have his account disable. I hope he comes back some day.

Stainmaster - the guy with the long-necked Hilton avatar!

Out of all the posters in all of BY he was more off putting than the whole lot of you combined. Requires a special kind of special to be that level of numb nut.

Stainmaster is actually a genuinely great dude and longtime friend. And he is, by far, the most knowledgable UConn sports fan I know. He is an encyclopedia for the baseball, basketball and football teams.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

@Stainmaster Is a legitimately nice and thoughtful guy through our interactions on here and other forums. Just actually asked a mutual friend how he was doing the other since I don't have direct contact information.

@tzznandrew covered @intz well above. Another genuinely solid guy. Hope he comes back some day.

Believe it or not, but @huskyfandan is also a good guy. Met him in person once to watch a game in NYC. No, he wasn't wearing a husky mascot costume.

Threads like this make me laugh.

Oh, and @polycom is a good guy too and can bare witness to the in person encounter with husky fan Dan lol.

Well, we've done pretty well this season without him being here. We can't mess with the mojo now.

Coincidence? I think not.

I never understand that whole “disable my account“ or “delete my account“. If you’re done, just don’t log in anymore, which may well be what 8893 is doing.

I think it's the whole addiction thing. Even if you swear it off and it's still out there for your access scary stuff can happen. Stain was tired of being a junky and the temptation needed to be eliminated.

A lot of people went a little crazy on the cesspool and either banned themselves or asked to be deleted, at least that's my understanding.

Maybeit’s an addiction. Some people need their access revoked to stay away.

Did anyone here ever used to be on the ESPN UConn board? I used to get into a fight with some poster TruthorUConsequences that must have been a Nova troll

 

[Waquoit]

He's fine. Totally offline now (other than video games). Like, I texted him last year when we were on a run and he hadn't been online or watched a UConn game. I hope he's turned on one this year.

Thanks. Another good dude. I met him during a Calhoun walk for charity and he spent the entire walk it seemed making more calls for the charity.

 

[Waquoit]

respect, I had fell out of watching CBB except for a few games here and there, trying to get back into it, this is a fun UConn team to watch.

FWIW, I always read you as a true basketball fan. I can believe that a team that plays team ball would pique your interest.

Who are you again?

And...?

Lol I distinctly remember that name without any actual recollection of their posts or and interaction I may have had with them

 

[SixRings]

Talked to him over the holiday weekend. He's good. We didn't talk about why he's not here or anything, but I can confirm he is alive.

Aww.. this is great. It’s like the dog story but 88 went to someone else’s house, and can talk on the phone, and didn’t have bandages on his paws from sleeping in the woods.

It kinda is. I hadn't heard back from a guy recently and only found out what happened when I read his obit.
