If you remember how you made it here let us know. Most of us joined around the same time. Looked like within a year or so. 5/2012 for me.

I spent most my time on Gatorsports or something like that. It got to be too petty. Bickering and stuff. Admins changed and banning crap. As an older poster (56). I just want to read up and get other opinions from fans. This site is best for me because I enjoy not only Gator sports but SEC topics.

Not sure how I actually found this site but glad I did. It's nice to see most fans are just that fans. During the good and the bad. GO GATORS!

An LSU fan from SI's old forums recommended this as a place to talk football while SI was shutting down their forums.

SI had a good group of posters on the college football forums.

I was there for a bit also. If I remember right it was hard for me to navigate and they were shutting down.

I don't remember. I was here a long time before the date indicates. There was some weird date reset in like 2010 or 2011.

I've been here since 2006 I think. Maybe 2007.

I don't remember why though. I think it linked here from the ESPN forums where I first started posting.

I found it and read the different SEC perspectives and I didn't think there was enough Gator representation so I decided to join.

My dad posted on Gator Sports too and left GatorChatter because that board might be the worst Gator board on the internet

I joined in 2010, will self ban on Sunday if we lose to UT because the level of negativity from some so called Gator fans will become too much to bare.

I can take the crap from other fans on tRant but when it is coming from "Gators fans" on the Gator board, that's ridiculous.

Gatorchatter sucks imho. Matt, I think that's silly to not post because of a win or a loss. With that said I don't like a Debby Downer either. But to think that a fan may not bitch about the product put on the field… hmmm. I certainly would like for us to win every game but that's not going to happen.

Found this site back in 07 when that Tebow LSU cell phone thing was going on. Was a lurker for 3 years and joined in 2010.

came on in 09. Lurked for awhile. My best friend is a LSU fan and turned me on to this place.
I tried several times to register with a more UF type name and as a UF fan and never got approved, so I figured I'd go with Bengal in my name and claim LSU. Was instantly approved and then I changed my affiliation. BTW I have proudly never changed my affiliation on here since.

My friends were always talking about this place so I decided to give it a try and I've been on here mostly reading ever since

I was on Tiger droppings a long long time ago and used to throw hand grenades into their midst for fun...Rant wasn't around back then.

Ive changed about 5 PCs since then and join date is way off.

I love it for here for the most part...I have a sharp tongue and have never been bashful. I'm old school and if we had won 9-6 that would have been fine with me. I remember 1963 when we went 6-3-1 and all three Ls were shutouts, 0-9 to Ga Tech, 0-14 to LSU and 0-19 to AU....we did beat 3rd ranked Bama in a big upset at Tuscaloosa 10-6, beat UGA 21-14 as I recall, and beat the girls school 7-0.

Love defense and power running....but of course loved the Fun N Gun

I was on Fighting Gators (Scout) for years...technically still am. They tightened up their rules years ago and it drove many of the posters away. I went looking for a new place and some LSU friends told me about Tigerdroppings.
