Virtuoso80 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I enjoy reading everyone's opinions and news updates on the Colts. Also I've looked at different team forums, none of them are as appealing and clean as this forum is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Waylon Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I’ve been a reader at least that long, but I didn’t actually join until ‘06 or ‘07. I was a member of a real good NFL general forums and I spent my time there until the admin (we assumed,) passed away and the website and all that stuff lapsed. Even with the rise of other platforms like FB and Reddit I’d still rather come here to talk Colts football than anywhere else. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vibe in here is so much better and the suspense of all these games is fun. How anyone can't enjoy this, I will never understand. This my 12th year as a Colts fan in this community. Has there ever been a season that exceeded more expectations?! Great fun! At this point it’s win-win!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a season that exceeded more expectations?! Great fun! At this point it’s win-win!! I became a member before the 2015 season but was lurking, reading posts in here during the 2014 season playoffs because I wasn't a member anywhere. ESPN was no longer after the 2013 season. So, in a way I have been here technically since 2014. I just joined a few months later. I thought the deflate gate discussions were wild in here, so I joined in and just started posting. Pats fans were everywhere in here back then. Never thought I would end up with over 60,000 posts. That is nuts really. Anyway, I have to honestly say since the 2014 season (we made the AFC Title Game that year) regarding my time in here, I have enjoyed this season the most. 2018 and 2020 were fun/good too. This season as a fan is really hard to figure out. 1st it was, everyone just wanted to see AR and his progressions. Then it went too, winning actually matters and it is fun doing so in a wild season with all the injuries to other teams. This thing is wide open in reality. I can't remember a season quite like this one with all the injuries to several teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really knowledgeable posters have come and gone, and I've learned a lot from them as the years have gone by. I originally joined my senior year in high school around 2006. Then I lost my account and email address and had to create a new one. Don't even remember what my user name was on the previous website... I think it had something to do with running. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a different format, with different moderators then. @HOFClipboardHolder and @TubaGuy and @bayone were guys who were active several years ago.

John Hammonds Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I've been here since 2017. I joined because I wanted to post my "My Guys" list of draft choices, as if I was the only person in the world who was this obsessively attentive to the draft, and I would get oooooo's and ahhhhhhh's and "we're not worthy" from all of the peeps on the forum. Ha! Not only were just about everybody as obsessed as I was, there we people on the forums who dug more deeply into the draft than I ever did! Yeah, I got surprised. I've grown to appreciate all of the people on the forums. Not just the easy going people, but the also the cantankerous one. Who argue a point as if their very lives depended on it. All of the people whom I disagree with. And there are a lot. But because of them, I get viewpoints that are not my own, and I learn things. And I am glad of it. Here's to Everybody! And I'm very glad to know all of you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm very glad to know all of you. That is a great post. If only people would see a disagreement as a way to see things from a different perspective as opposed to a personal affront, there would be less bickering. That is why you are an analyst. You really missed out on the earlier days of the forum. Was @Dustin still here when you signed up? He wrote up some fantastic scouting reports that got lots of responses. They were so thought-provoking. Did you follow the 2015 draft? Dustin wrote scouting reports on many players. He was one of the very few who liked Grady Jarrett and wanted Grigson to select him early in the draft. I value this forum a lot. Many fans have come and gone. When I first signed up in 2014 there were fans from other teams posting all the time. It was a lot of fun. It still is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember folks wanting another defensive player that the Pats took soon after the Colts selected Dorsett (Mack Brown?). McKinney was popular too. Tyler Lockett was also very popular here (I think that was 2015 too). Anyway, it was so much fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, LedZep was from California, and came to one game before he passed. Some of the folks on there left the Indy Star site for a more civil environment.
