Maxman Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. 7 years. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun. Back in those days, Herm Edwards was getting ready to lead the Jets to a glorious 4-12, most of us were on another site that was rapidly losing its sense of humor and some might say, the plot. Then some of of us started getting PMs from a few nefarious individuals, who got banned for their trouble. (Weren't Private Messages supposed to be private?), with a mention we might want to check out another site, and see what we thought. We clicked the link and got this: And so it began. Wasn't always plain sailing, for what seemed like eons, there was promises the site would be more than just a board, complete with front page. When the front page arrived, it was a bit underwhelming. Whatever happened to the Wee McCabe Techno Creature? And did he ever get out of Shane's dungeon? Then the rot set in. The popularity of the place plummeted. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence, but it happened round the time the watersports forum had been replaced by a hockey forum along with a new mod: Then war broke out after TomShane abused his moderator powers by attempting to ban Max, and filling the Hockey forum with monkey pictures. GOB hasn't been able to look at a banana without thinking of the abuse his beloved Steve Yzerman suffered, the PatsNation shitstorm with the TX Modship, finally Mr Shane left, confusing the hell out of loads of people. Others came and went, but the AsteriskNation went from strength to strength. Penningtology, 7 foot tall Latvian brides, spammers, fights over Curtis Martin compiler, years of Schitty, rep wars, BoomBoom, Bollywood to mention but a few. But just when we were all set to live happily ever after, Shane came back and the place went to hell. Hasn't really recovered since. Happy Birthday JetNation, here's to many more. And thanks to all the gang who keep the place up and running, and to the posters who've made this the best Jets board on the net. This is the best post I have ever read. AWESOME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's bad mod juju to ban someone who only has about 16 months left. Make the most of it brave little soldier. I would also like to thank Max for allowing Homo's, fat dudes, country club kids posing as black dudes, woman posing as men then posing as woman, those of us that date ourselves and develop interweb persona's for our imaginery lovers, nerds, geeks, tards, wonderfully special woman, ordinary bitter men, surfers punk rock executive ladies mans, guys who love bush, woman that love Vic, Chilean thundercats, Batman, Apes, men that love Vic, primates, redsox fans, edible rodents, giant Asian dudes, Giants fans, pirates, misfits, larpers, leppers, creeps, freaks, Cali homo's, those who ride trikes, those who ride dykes, lovers of fatties, emotional sorts, new dudes, lady friends, primates that date woman, lap sitters, people afraid of umbrella's, guys that only dirve so they can text, sandmen, hotties, magic eight ballers, shutdown posters, sh*t ins, shutout (miss him), retirees, mules, guy that mows the lawn, guy that makes fun of the guy that mows the lawn..... For allowing us a safe haven for enjoying Teh Mafia goodness. We love you and JN Max. Thank you! You have done so much for JetNation with your mafia passion. Really appreciate that! Thanks.

Maxman Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 In Panzer's screen print above it looks like we had 128 users in our 1st two weeks. that is pretty damn impressive. Tom Shane will be able to vouch for this, but back then we were all typing so much that we would go to sleep (not always together, lol) with carpel tunnel. Seriously my wrists hurt a ton and it was from typing so much. That is the story. Was a really fun time...7 years goes by so damn fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC36 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 congratulations to Max and everyone who runs the site. I came here about 5 years ago with no expectations of what to expect. What i found were some people that i consider friends. Some of you I've had the good fortune of meeting, and others I've chatted with in the chat room for hours on end. Thank You to everyone who make this site successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
