Haven’t Seen an 8893 Post in a While

[August_West]

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.

 

[August_West]

Nah, only eight for you, and four were banned years ago.

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

 

[temery]

It has to be more, I can't see Matrim, RichZ, GemParty posts. Obviously Navery12 but hopefully he changes course soon.

It's a two way ignore. If you have someone on ignore, you can only see the threads they start, not their replies in other threads.

Click your username in the top breadcrumb, then "Your Ignored Content." You have 14 people on ignore. It's pretty easy to accidentally ignore a forum, thread, or user. I get weekly DMs asking "why can't I see [forum, thread, user].

Im not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it's something.

Zero.

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

 

[prankster]

Zero.

And now he is honor bound to feel like a total failure.

Did we ever solve the mystery of JimHurley’s disappearance? Always seemed like a good young fella

And that Husky Fan Dan, perhaps the best drunk poster ever on the boneyard.

Alive, and a Powerball winner?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

71, and it's not who you think.

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.

That is indeed welcome news. I was a bit worried. If anybody makes a choice to prioritize time focused on the real world over this virtual one, that's probably healthy.

Have we ever had a poster go missing due to incarceration? Just wondering.

 

[CL82]

For any of you who may be interested. Being ignored doesn't sting as much as you might think.

Sorry? I wasn’t paying attention.

Thanks for the report. That's all that matters. Boneyard breaks are healthy.

It's not a far trip to that anyway

Been checking in hoping someone would post this. Actually thought it would be you.

I much rather have you be stronger connected to 8893 than Bill Walton any day.

Thanks for the update!

It doesn't, I have 5 people ignoring me myself, but there are so many people to talk to, the ones who ignore you really don't matter.

 

[Improviser]

Why not somebody just DM or PM him? The DM goes to his email and if he is okay, as we are all hoping, then he is likely to respond.

If somebody recently or in the past, had sent or received DMs or PMs to him back and forth, he just might respond to the DM. If you did actually meet him and had a pizza or a drink with him, then send him a DM or PM ( I don't know if they are the same thing)

 

[Improviser]

Sorry, I just noticed the post from @August_West .

Glad he is okay.

I'm not seeing anyone listed, any chance you can manually undo for me?

Tell him his input is needed in the pizza thread. Has he heard of this place called Bufalina’s?

So a question for those who know the answer. For how long has there been some iteration of the BY online? I started coming here in 1997-1998 when I was in law school at Pittsburgh. I think it was McDs back then, and I was PittsburghHuskyFan.

A brief history on the formation of the BY would be a great read.

 

[CL82]

er. For how long has there been some iteration of the BY online?

20 minutes?

As far as message boards go the first one I remember was the AOL UConn board. That was dial up internet and maybe somewhere between 1993-95? I feel like the most back and forth we had back then with opposing fans was the UMass Caliparis

Boneyard history

I’m posting this to continue our reminisces about the old days and to give more recent members a little history. The below was posted about 2002 by, I think, @Fishy . For those who may not know, Fishy has been around forever and is my counterpart on the men’s board.

I think he is actively liking posts, tho.

 

[ctchamps]

Speaking of disappearances, whatever happened to Intlzncaster?

Combo of work related and, I believe, he became disenchanted with The Boneyard over some Cesspool stuff plus The Boneyard's reaction to KO after the firing.

Hope Intlzncaster is present in a new iteration.

Couple of other losses:
Dogmania - his postgame reports should have been named "Dogmania Long Johns". If anyone wrote a long post that post would be identified as Dogmania in nature. Life happened I believe for him.
@champs99and04 - made Dogmania posts look @Waquoit brief. Kid was going to college (NH?). Was very popular until he took issue on something that the majority of posters reamed him over. Still is a member and recently made a post. But a shame he's less interactive.

Posters that have recently contributed that were absent or very quiet whose contributions I admire:
@caw
@aceboon

And most of all:
@Gurleyman

Great to see you back!

 

[superjohn]

Where is Stainmaster/Strawmaster/Stairmaster?

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

 

[arch]

.

I think 8893, my favorite poster, btw,…….

Whaaaaaat?????

 

[tykurez]

@8893 hasn’t posted since we were 1-0? Hmm, I think for mojo reasons he’s not allowed to post again until we lose.

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.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

what happened to the poster that only posted once before the Louisville game in 2011 that psyched up the board and convinced us we were going to win it all?
