A Historical Look at the Origins of Extremeskins

BGO - The road less traveled

So I'm also a refugee from ES. Originally registered in 2005. I asked for a voluntary permanent ban about 5 years ago, then re-registered under a pseudonym about 2 years later and posted some. My claim to fame was that I was one of the only members that MassSkinsFan liked before he went completely ape-shit.

Definitely a good time to start anew. ES was like the Byzantine Empire. It rose in the dark ages (early Snyder), continued through the middle ages (middle Snyder), and snuffed out right before Columbus discovered the new world (the Harris era). And it doesn't look like Harris is going to throw the fans a bunch of small pox infected blankets. Don't get me wrong, ES was great. A truly bright light during a time of great despair. The timing was just wretched.

MassSkinsFan posts were the best! I wonder what happened to that guy..

I don’t think it’s the same guy. The original MassSkinsFan was pretty identifiable by posting style. There were a number of guys like that on early ES… like AtlantaSkinsFan if anyone remembers that cat?
 
I'm here for the deets, please
 
Fear the Spear was our free spirit here at BGO but he vanished a couple of years ago. That’s one think that sucks about forums, you often never find out what happened to member _______.

I heard at one point like 10 years ago that there was a second ES member whose name was similar, like Mass_SkinsFan or something. So the original MassSkinsFan had to have a private discussion with him to make sure he was legit, wouldn't dishonor his name, and that he wasn't being clowned....

Yes indeed. ASF seemed deeply troubled. I hope he's found peace.
 
I wore my Extremeskins t-shirt while watching the TB game. (Fits a bit tightly, 23ish years later.)

Every time I see Greg McElroy calling a game, I think of AtlantaSkinsFan (if anyone doesn't remember, he provided empirical proof that McElroy was going to be the first coming of Jayden Daniels, though he didn't frame it that way, exactly).

Please listen to me very carefully.

You wore your Extremeskins t-shirt while watching the TB game.

We won. Okay?

So what do we conclude?

I'd like to suggest you have an obligation regarding your t-shirt choice tomorrow evening.

Thank-you
 
Yeah I kind of missed MSF. I always kind of liked him, in a weird way. I can't really explain it. I found him interesting.

I joined EX in 2004 or 5 but what i missed the most was OM's posts, it was like reading an article out of my local paper

I've turned on the Om light...

lol. That local paper may have been … questionable.

Been a while since I’ve posted regularly. Retired and living a dream life in Bavaria for a while.

Not dead yet though. 😎

Those look like nice seats ;-)

Best seats I’ve ever had in that stadium… last row 200 level, one section over from Owners box. Tirico and Collinsworth(sp?) were sitting just above us.

The awesome/sad part of those seats were just how incredibly cheap they were…. Goes to show you how much Snyder had lost the faithful, and how much season tix holders had given up on the team. Those 3 seats I got were part of a 6 seat block, and all were on sale on Ticketmaster and SeatGeek. I could have bought all six of those seats for less than $1500.

Don’t think it will be like that anymore… which is why I signed back up for season tix :)

Nice!
We have similar seats, 200's last row, but in section 204....even with the goal line. 200's under cover on the Skins side are the best seats in the house.

Found the pic from SeatGeek…. Those seats were in 201. My 2 season tix I signed up for the next day are just across from you in 219, under the overhang but unobstructed, ~ 10-15 yard line, on the aisle. Not sure how many games I can get to, but can’t wait to figure it out.

This thread is a wild trip down memory lane. Good to see a lot of old familiar names pop into this thread. I was one of the multitude that joined ES after Gibbs was announced as coach for his 2nd stint. Crazy to think I was on that site for 20 years.

Weird to see that I've been on this site for 15 years.

Fun fact: my first suspension from ES was given to me by Mark the Homer. I posted a picture of some people in costumes, but the costumes were some sort of suits to emulate nudity, but not even realistic nudity.

Suspension? You mean ban? Are you serious? Shoot, I don't remember banning anybody! I do remember your China name though.
