Fall of 1998 was my 1st semester at State. ESPN.com used to have some sort of comment section either just under articles about State or maybe just a team comment area about State. Started there and eventually found genespage and so on and so forth.
How long have you been on message boards?

Got my first computer in '97 and stumbled on Gene's.
I also stumbled onto the "stile project" which absolutely warped my understanding of mankind.
SPS in the early 2000’s
Ventured to ED when they started up, but left that schitthole when 34 started trying to sell coffee.

Was that when it was an old white board with blue font on a server in Columbus? That is my first memory of his board but I can’t remember when it was? Wayback is no help.
Bulldogblitz fall 03. Started lurking here to find out why some people seemed to be hatefully obsessed with this site. Joined a couple months later when I realized y’all were my people. Productivity has taken a dive ever since.
What was the old Bulldog website in the 90’s that had checkers?

I was attending State in '92 when the early newsletters and message boards started really taking off. Used to go to the computer lab and use the computers there. The couple guys that actually owned computers around then always had Doom going in head to head

2008 a friend of mine at state introduced me to six pack. Lurked a bit. Then joined under a different user name than I have now. Been here ever since. Only two user names. Well the move to on3 messed it up but close enough.
Been a member of genes page couple different times off and on at different times.
I like boards that interact a lot and stay active since I don't get to talk msu a lot where I live and work around the water cooler. Some state grads but not many state sports fans.
About that same time.....or thereabouts. I can for sure remember New Year's Eve 1999. My wife was on Y2K duty at her place of employment. I spent the night at home, watching us get to 10 wins, watching the Y2K non-crisis, drinking Penfold's Grandfather Port, and chatting on Gene's Page with other people whose spouses had to be at work to handle the end of the world, that didn't happen. That still pisses me off because by the time midnight rolled around here it had already come and gone in most of the world with at worst, extremely minor problems. It was perfectly apparent that nothing bad was going to happen, but my wife still had to be on watch for the end of the world. They finally let her go at a little after 1am on New Year's Day.
Started on genespage in ‘99 mainly as a lurker - helped him, murray and sones set up a few times at Abners for pre/post game radio - crowder was there some too
warned about Sherrill 2002-2003 posts banned with Crxxm posts in 2005 - took a sabbatical then joined SPS in 2006
To elaborate on my wife's Y2K duty: She was at the time an office executive type at the local hospital. Her assignment that night when things collapsed was, as even the municipal water system would collapse from Y2K computer crashes, was to haul buckets of water from the hospital fitness center pool to patient room toilets so patients could flush their toilets. It sounds like a joke now but that is the absolute truth.
Sixpackspeak in 2007. I had browsed others before but this was the first that I checked daily.
Reminds me of seeing Saddawg posts with his boat girls, Stallion4Tigahs and his cream rankings, and watching sfslickdawg’s videos on YouTube. I thought the 2007 football season highlights with “Don’t Fear the Reaper” playing was the coolest.

Memory not as good as it use to be, but started with Swindoll & Murray's Dawg's Bite newspaper tabloid when it kicked off
then went online with Gene's Page, SPS & ED shortly after they started.

2009 SPS, and still loyal here. If someone links another site here I’ll go look for a bit, but I ain’t going over on my own.
Around '97 to the best of my recollection. The old eggbowl.com, ms hs skuttlebut (genespage), bulldog blitz were my hangouts back then.
This is also me. Did a search for what happened to Dave from the JT and Dave show a year or so earlier and a thread from SPS popped up. I was like, where have you been all my life?
Mississippi Sports Talk? That was my first back around 2004. At some point it switched to a scout board and that’s when I switched to GP. Lurked here till 2008 and that’s when I finally made the jump to exclusively SPS.
Did the lifetime BDJ membership for a few months, and that joke of a rivals board when they sold out to it. Otherwise it’s been SPS only for almost 15 years now.
Started on rec.sport.football.college in ‘94 and joined the email listserv soon after. Been on twitter since ‘09 - I had the original @Hailstate account.
Genespage somewhere around then. The scuttlebutt was an amazing find, it seemed.
2006 football season. My dad had been on Gene’s Page in the late 90’s/early 2000’s and told me about it when I was in junior high. Didn’t discover the pack until about 2012 when I was a freshman/sophomore in college. But joined then and y’all haven’t pissed me off enough to leave so far.
I was on genespage in the days when this place started. Soon after I saw posts referencing “the other board” and someone told me about this one.
I do remember Eggbowl.com- that was a nightmare. Anybody know the years it was active?

I started here I believe in 2003, I was in college probably 2002-2003 or so. Elitedawgs April 2 day 1, and genespage the year of the CJ Johnson recruitment.
‘98 or ‘99 on GP
Sometime between Oct. ‘01 - July ‘02, not sure when, I just remember where I working, I got kicked offf GP again and found SPS. Seems like someone was posting about “this new, un-authoritarian board” or something. Haven’t been back but a handful of times and usually to look at a train wreck - like WT17 ever those dudes were posting that one time - dildos or something. I don’t known. I’m stoned immaculate at the moment.
