Title: What year in board history has been the best?
Post by: gatoveintisiete on February 15, 2014, 03:51:02 PM
Not about sports success, but overall quality of message boarding experience.

I am fully aware of your "sockness". You are still bad at it, and should say what you feel from your true account, nancy boy.

We're all friends here. You will not be judged.

it's kind of snl'y. if you were around in the beginning then you will like that time and those characters and swear up and down that the newsest cast is just not as good. if you weren't that into it back then then you will think this is the glory days and this is the best. nobody is right or wrong.

Compared to GPC and ksufans, this was a new kind of board, from non-censorship to just creativity in general is why I think the early years were the best.

the only thing that i would add would be to say that this board misses fatty and misses him in a big way. both on and off the board. he was a star and a huge one. belushi, fallon, ferrell, Eddie murphy, etc all rolled into one. I wish he was still here.

The summer of GRCOAT may have been the best time period in all of message boarding. In the poll I went with 2011 for pig Aggie reasons, but the more I think about it, the more I loved 2010. This thing was just starting out, we (meaning gE) had TP threatening to sue, started the "Pay Frank" movement, had the elite 8 run, CCQ's up and down year, and the great expectations and subsequent meltdown of Pullen's senior year to talk about. That set up for some damn good BBSing.

Of the years listed it has to be 2011.

Start the year off with our bball team imploding, wally judge leaves, bosco saving curtis kelly, pullen claiming he wont play in the NIT, etc etc etc. Just great message boarding material to start the year off.

Then out of left field comes the St. Valentines day Massacre and the run to get a 5 seed in the tourney. Pullen breaks the scoring record and his tribute video is released.

Then what about fball season? No one expected that and the board was giddier than kid in a candy shop. KSU CAT FOOTBALL WAS BACK!

Trolling the entire state of Arkansas pretty much locked up 2011 as the best year in this boards history.

I lurked 2011 and slowly came over after that.   I was hooked.

I never quite got though why the Prez had to make a statement about GE not being affiliated with the university.  I thought the vid was the mask's doing. 

Did OKcat really go over there and cross it or what?

Yeah, you can add part of that to 2011 as well. OU saying they won't be a wallflower, mizzou and argue leaving.

Just an all around great year foe bbs' n.

I was terrible in 2011.  I let off the field issues impact my play.  I'll own it.

I've been a non-factor, but 2011 was pretty great. 2012-13 had some pretty great #TITLETOWN moments, but lacked a real signature moment. one thing to note here is that Fattyfest has done wonders for this board as far as getting out and doing something for an awesome cause. that's something almost no other BBS can say.

back to back BBS world champs, that's all you need to know.
