OT: How did you find the Planet

[Undertaker #59*]

Thank you for this thread. It is invaluable in learning where to concentrate efforts to lure in new victims, I mean members. It took a long time to get us at or near the top of the search engines, and it looks like only about half of members find us that way, while the other half are word of mouth.

Well bots don't grow on trees.

I actually never been to patsfans but havent heard great things about it

It's much more crowded, less humor, more strict policies, and more trolls. But there is more football talk there, but I get all I need here from Box_O_Rocks (another Patsfan alum), Oswlek (another Patsfan alum), AWTE and those guys each game.

When I first started posting on another Patriots site, I heard about this site. I was a virgin to message boards back then and thought I had to be a very serious football guy.

I registered and was greeted by a couple of people who scared the shit out of me. I tried to get my email address deleted but it didn't work.

Then my normal Patriots site crashed last year. By that time I had become a message board crack whore instead of the lily white virgin that I once was. None of these guys scared me anymore, probably the opposite is true. So now I share time between the two very different and non-competitive sites (IMO).

It's too bad that a few people both here and there don't "get it", the differences and accept it. They would have a lot more fun if they did.

I had just joined the patriots.com message board and my main man Hawg73 tempted me over here with the girly pic thread... Thanks again, Hawg... I owe you.

I can remember feeling a bit of that myself, when I was still in my lurking stage!

I thought is wrong with these people?!

And then... slowly... I became one of them. My innocense if forever lost.

this is true, there is no competition between the two and both talk football/patriots


but I do spend most my time in the ladies lounge voting with my heart over at the other place

Absolutely!

I'm not really here. You just think I am.


If I was really here, though, you could probably blame Krafty. I followed a link to one of his 5 threads praising the Colts (he lost a bet from last year's regular season game).

[cka203]

Notice how Krafty's name keeps popping up?

He's also one of the reasons I came here. I read his posts on IndyStar and colts.com, and knew he was a troll-master. Funny guy, too!

There were/are also some other Planet members who I read on the colts forums, and I was intrigued enough to come here and check out the rest of you looneys.

Resistance is futile. Assimilation is inevitable.

I fell in love with some Planeteers that posted regularly on colts.com (SOKB, JJ) and eventually wandered over to see what all the fuss was about. Cka is right, colts.com is a little boring and the Planet just sucked me in. People never believe me when I tell them my "home" message board is a Pats board.
