Even though folks here are sometimes critical of his on-field performance, I think we all owe John Thornton a huge THANK YOU. It was the forum that he created that originally brought us all together.
In fact, we should also thank Geoff Hobson, because JT's site was virtually unknown until he made mention of it on bengals.com. After that, it became so overwhelmingly popular, JT had to change the entire format of his forum section to accommodate all the traffic.

So, Here's to you guys:

Member #95...What took me so long?

I originally found JT's board when it was that crazy, hard-to-read string of nested posts.

There were at least 5-10 guys here, that I was a bit familiar with from there...BJ, OWN, and OLD for 3...

I actually tried to give NewBengals a shot, because at the time, I felt like he was being unfairly judged...And just read the posts over here.

Then...I found out the judgement was pretty fair. :crazy:

The whole thing went down in a couple weeks...And I have never looked back.

This is a great place, with a great group of guys (and Beotches)

I'd like to say thanks too. This is definitely the best board around. My thanks have to go to a Steelers fan though for showing me this place. He was about the only one on stillers.com that wasn't a total cock face. stillthere was his handle. I've seen him around here before. He's not an asshat like the rest of those fuckholes.
MULLY

If he shows up again be fair with him.

Oh the memories. I think I joined JT's board in the first day or two. Still remember Oldschooler, BJ, RoyT, oh and how can I forget Chandler and newbengal. In the early days of JT board he had this shitty software where you had to open every post to a thread - you couldn't open one thread and scroll down through all the posts. Man that sucked. Not sure how I found this board after JT finally shutdown. I'm fairly sure it was NewBengals site. :( Great site and still getting better.

Thanks Go! :bowdown:
