An early discussion between Das and I

Recommended Posts

Well sorta, it was in the same newsgroup thread. Yeah that's right Usenet.

 

I take you back to August 4th, 1998 when a thread was going on about us acquiring Kevin Orie.

 

I said this:

 

 

Orie has potential, but is having a disappointing season. Hopefully he

can turn it around.

Das Texan or as he was known at the time Adam said this:

 

Yeah i got away for a while. What do you think of the recent trades by

the marlins. The Zeile one, and then the one with the cubs. I did not

know about the cubs one saturday, but i think it may be turn out to be a

good trade. I think that Orie has a tremendous upside, especilally

since we really had no other third baseman. Write back with your

comments.

Why is August 18, 2002 the earliest member since date if this website has been around longer?

 

We were on different software before then and it couldn't be converted over properly at the time.

 

The site was just a news hub for it's first few years. We started having forums in 1997 or 1998 and the actual domain we use today came into play in 1999 I believe. There was also a point where the Marlins official forum became ours when the provider they used ended their contract. All of the official forum posts became under my control. We went thru phases but this has been our longest one thus far at over 10 years now.

Look at that. Marlins still havent solved their problems after 16 years at 3b really.

 

 

Still relying on prospects that probably wont pan out!

 

 

I miss the usenet boards, I was a young lad back then. So young and full of life. Now, not so much.

 

Write back with your comments.

 

Well, we've had good 3B over the course of the past 16 years...
