Joker ask Mike A about the internet racin he, bull, Miklos, me and other did back in the mid 90's on the newsgroups...it was viscious...no moderator either! Never had so much fun.

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Oh man, it's been a long, strange trip from rec.powerboats.racing :D

Congrats on the 3k Brian, now let's talk about bringing some Factory 1 fun to Cambridge :D :D

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Where you there too? That was some fuuny stuff back then. I was Scarab Mike, Mike A was just Mike A, Miklos was Laser, Bob Bull was just Bull..llamafeeder and the whole cast was there!

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Yeah, I didn't post much except when our races were on but I got into a couple of small mellees once in a while. I think I posted as Ted G and I also spent a lot of time on rec.boats. One day someone on there posted about this board called offshoreonly and I never went back. I remember all the llama hullabaloo though :evilb:

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Yep once Offshore Only came about the newsgroups died off. However being unmoderated and people just speaking there mind made for some funny stuff. I miss it and I made some serious friends from that newsgroup too.

:p :D :drink:

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Llamas on Rec.boats. Good stuff. :eek:

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

LOL! This is bringing back some memories. I too found out about OSO on rec.boats of all places.

What about our good buddy Harry? Anyone remember him. I checked in on that place about a year ago and he was STILL posting useless political crap on that place like it was going out of style. I used to hammer him SO hard about that. He couldn't take it. I think I finally made his ignore list.

I told him not to bother trying to join a moderated forum like OSO. He couldn't follow the rules like he was supposed to and would probably get booted.

Are we showing our age on this topic?

3k in 7yrs....i'm not that far ahead of you and ive been here from the days when the forum had all the posts listed on a SINGLE page and we had to scroll around to find new posts!! :D

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

That was yours truly who turned the rec.boats on to OffshoreOnly.

I had been telling Jeffrey about all the banter in the news group about offshore boating which triggered something in his head. Next thing you know, he calls and ask me to register on this thing called a message board and make a post (I wish I had presence of mind to save an image of the first page of post).

OK, so now there's an organized message board for offshore enthusiast with no offshore enthusiast besides Jeffrey and myself, posting a lot of nothing back and forth.

Well, finally the day came when I (heh heh heh) felt OSO was ready for primetime and I introduced it to the news group, rec.boats.power.racing.

The rest is history

Yours Truly

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Actually is wasn't rec.boats it was rec.boats.power.racing were are the real fun stuff took place. Anyone remember Nasty Midget?

I started posting on OSO as Fever (space) Mike in late Oct 2000 and forgot my password. So I re-registered as FeverMike (no space) in Jan 2001. My question is how come I am not a charter member? I see people with the same date or later than me as charter members.

Re: 3,000 posts - 7 long years!
 

Charter was a fund raiser way back when I think Jeffrey needed more server money. It was available to the first 300 that ponied up, regardless of when they joined. Best investment I ever made :evilb:

1998 Sarasota Kilo Kent Perroux and I were standing in the park watching Miklos set the F1 kilo and Bob Teague walks up and asks, What is a Llama?:p
