-GoBengals- Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I just noticed we are in our 10th year here at go-bengals.com. I created the forum October 9th, 2004. Started inviting people in a few days later... The ONLY player on the roster on that day that still remains today, is Robert Geathers. I just wanted to point out the forthcoming milestone, I may get a patch or logo or something in the header for the year to commemorate the Decade of fun we have had here. I also want to thank everyone, those here from day one, and other who came along the way. I appreciate you all being here and continuing to talk sports and life with the rest of us! two kids, 2 apartment moves, 5 server/hosting companies, a marriage, a lost mom, a move across the country, and a new house, many of you have been here for the whole ride, I have met some lifelong friends here. and You guys have been the ones to help keep the lights on in this place many times, so thank you for that as well! Thank you all! -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Man. 10 years seems like a life time ago to me when I start thinking about all that has happened in that time span. :35: I'm hoping to meet some of you fine people in person one day. Hopefully before the 20 year milestone. But I still consider a lot of you friends. Going to Colorado does appeal to me a lot with the recent events there. :39: Thanks for all you do Ryan. Hope all is well in your World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishBengal Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Ryan! No really thanks, you've not just provided an outlet for US Bengals fans to discuss, but us UK fans from across the pond who are a rare breed who share the same passion but can't get the access to discuss in depth and often in a fun way. Been to other Bengals sites and this one is much more homely and intimate. Cheers for everything you do and keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, we have had our disagreements, but this is easily my favorite website on the entire internet. Thanks for all the work you have put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatcat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Wow! Amazing we've been around this long. I still remember JTs website. Doesn't feel that long ago. Still the best Bengals site going.... Much appreciation to what you have done Ryan and your thick skin to keep this site going and always improving it.

cincity Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I greatly appreciate this site. I was really missing news from my team when I was in Korea. This site was a God send! I looked at other forums and the all seemed too cluttered. This one was, and still is the cleanest best designed and easiest to follow. Thanks and congrats to all that have made this site possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaverHunter Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Nice! I remember making the jump from HTTP-JT's site...and didn't that one crazy ass have a site too. I can't remember his name...maybe newbengal or something like that? Thanks for the site Go...a lot of time spent on it through the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluhartz Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Can't thank you enough for this site. I didn't join until like 06 or 07, but not a day goes by without me being on here at least a little. As Jason said...this is my favorite website on all of the interwebzzz.. WHO-DEY!!!!!

|Lucid| Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Nice! I remember making the jump from HTTP-JT's site...and didn't that one crazy ass have a site too. I can't remember his name...maybe newbengal or something like that? Thanks for the site Go...a lot of time spent on it through the years. Chandler and his assistant? Pretty sure it was him... And he used to argue with his pseudonyms on his forum to make it look like other people were actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Much thanks for the site. I was a long time lurker of this as well as JT and other Bengals sites - just recently began to post more. It's crazy how much I check the site and only realize so when the site is down and I can't get my fix. It'd be odd to not have it around and am sure glad I is around. Thanks for the work you put in and to all who contribute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Going to Colorado does appeal to me a lot with the recent events there. :39: The weather? LOL. Thanks for everything Ryan. This place is a daily must visit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Much love to the site. This is my favorite no question. I was freaking 29 when I started and I'm 37. I'm growing old with this site lol I agree with Old. We should have get together sometime for all the members. As Jason said, we may disagree sometimes but we all love our team. Congrats on the 10 yr Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcat Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks for the site Ryan, it is the best on the internet for Bengals stuff! I've been here most of the time, if not from the very start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have met some of the kindest, funniest human beings through this site, some of whom helped to initiate a seismic shift in my world view, and others that I've met by traveling halfway around the world; all have become very good friends. It really is amazing how you can get a good sense of someone's true personality via the internet. Then there's Rumble, but hey, nobody is perfect. :ninja: This place is much more than a football site to me, and I truly appreciate Ryan's dedication, in regard to both the time and the money he has spent making it happen.

Jamie_B Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Chandler and his assistant? Pretty sure it was him... And he used to argue with his pseudonyms on his forum to make it look like other people were actually there. naw Beav is right, newbengals had a site for a month or two he kept deleting people and re-adding them all the time, he was loony Chandler and his assistant (who I've always been convinced was him with another account) never had their own site that I knew of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Numbers| Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Happy Birthday from all the immigrants from " other " boards. May we have 10 more. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of Cinci's shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my beer beside the Go-Bengal's door!" Paraphrased and re-arranged from Emma Lazarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Blimey JTs forum seems a long way away. Man I'm old. Fuck. Thanks to everyone who makes this so much fun, and often times infuriating. Who Dey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 JT's site was a lifetime or two ago. Thanks to Go! Happy Birthday to the site! Thanks to those who sift through the scraps to find Bengals articles for us to discuss all year long! And fuck the Steelers! :p The next 10 should be even better!

Le Tigre Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 You will note my join date was directly after the Kimo Holocaust Game. I was at the now-defunct Huddles, taking head shots from the Stealer-loving Patriarchs at that site, and this place was the sole refuge to get away from those mad bastards. Many of us from that site, and others, were welcomed warmly, and for that I won't soon forget. Thanks, Ryan...let's move on towards 20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khatmandude Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Good dude Ryan, many appreciations from me. I can't believe it's been 10 yrs! Lots of good memories. MB513 I think? Hahaha.
