Yeah, I think what I miss the most about Shaggy is the OU Gif of dominance thread.  For a few years that thread was better than anything on the internet...including porn.  I also miss the random weirdos that were drawn to Shaggy for whatever reason that got sniffed out pretty quickly.

You're doing it wrong.

I guess my intertrons journey has been a  bit different.

In the early "oughts", I was registered on hornfans but saw how pretty boring it was. Did a quick search and found ... soonerfans.

Naturally, I go there and registered as TexasLidig8r. Apparently back then, I could be a bit of a pot stirring curmudgeon. And so, the pot stirring began.

It was epic. It was fun. To become the villain of the entire board! Schulz (who posts here occasionally) was on there as well dishing it out. Then... things began to evolve.

Shaggy came into existence. I was registered there and posted more frequently than I do here.

With the sooner folk, their DFW people on soonerfans had occasional lunches. So, one time I attended. Met a number of them face to face. Some good natured ribbing, jokes. Of course, I would still create strife on their board. The noobies wanted to hang me in effigy. And then...

A few with legal questions reached out. I responded. Then, a few needed some legal help in Texas. And now, I was financially benefitting!

Phil Owens, one of the owners of soonerfans was a fellow mouthpiece in Oklahoma.  He helped me get admitted pro hac vice in Oklahoma fed courts on a few cases.

Perhaps as we age, the piss and vinegar becomes less, but the humor remains. So, during Texas - ou week it very much becomes, "Fuck 'em and Feed 'em Fish Heads!"

I do lurve this board as an outlet into humor, some clever insults and sometimes, on very rare occasions, the incredible depth of the soul is reflected and found. Carry on Gentlemen... Carry on.

I was chatting with a friend over beers, sharing some humor from this site, and he asks me how long I've een wasting my life with longhorn message boards.

I was like damn, let me think about that.

After losing to ousucks for the third year in a row I started Googling variations of "mack brown sucks" and came across Hornfans. I registered as Okiehater, and had absolutely no idea what I was getting into.

It was my first time posting on a message board and I sucked at it. Basically streams of conciousness put to text. Imagine Derka with less self awareness.

Everyone hated me and I was banned after less than 100 posts.

I went through three more usernames, but my stupidity was immediately recognized and was banned with extreme prejudice.

Thats when I discovered the other boards like Cactus Cafe, Quakenbush's, etc, and that's where I lurked and learned how to suck less. I returned as MissingInAction and started sharing stories of debauchery and mayhem. 

When Austin 3:16 was created I really hit my stride. My most famous threads are probably The BBQ Bandito caught on tape, and The Mother Daughter three way.

Am I better person now than 20 years ago? Who knows, but I'm definitely different.

I've met a lot of cool and interesting people along the way.

Here's to 20 more.

I was drunk a lot in the early 90s and then got sober in late 1997.

At some point, not sure when, to rekindle old interests, I started scouring the internet for information about Texas Baseball, scores and team insight and whatnot and was definitely fully engaged on the hornfans baseball forum by the 2002 season.  Then, I ventured out toward the football board and then 3:16.

I guess I was vaguely intimidated by all the "assholes" and some of the "inside baseball" among the posters, but I never ventured much out of the sports forums and 3:16 for the lulz.

I wasn't particularly engaged when shaggy formed and originally signed up early as 2xHorn, my prior handle, but other than the removal of 3:16, hadn't really had/noticed any problems at hornfans.  At some point, though, I noticed it was getting bad and no fun and ventured back over to shaggy, but couldn't get 2xHorn to work, so here I am as twice.

So it really has been 20 years or more.  I'm kind of surprised that I've been at it longer than a lot of you, although my age dictates that be true.

I can't remember when I first started lurking.  I know that my first official sign up was on the ShaggyBevo site, maybe about the time of the shopping bags over Bevo's head and the "Greg Davis is not our standard" airplane sign event?  I'm a youngster compared to many of y'all.  It's been a great ride.

Congrats on the 20, maybe after another 20 you can parole out.  I started with the shag back in 2011 somehow.  I personally think as far as college football websites goes this is by far the best.  I believe we have so much posting traffic it sets us apart.  In addition to the pushing of the boundaries with IPIHB, Thujone's MS paint, and just plain snarkiness of those who are willing to roast and get roasted really delivers the shit.  Hell, I hope we all make 20.  Hook 'Em!

I think I discovered Hornfans in 2000 as a freshman in the dorms. Managed about 10k posts with multiple blinking envelopes before the blob finally banned me for good. 

 

Over the last 22 years my posting has varied in direct proportion to my alcohol consumption, which is considerably less now than it used to be. Probably why I'm so boring now. 

I know it's out of style now, but your slug at Taz was one of the greatest things I have ever seen on the internet and holds rank in the real world. My man, you had me crying like momma was beating my ass. To this day, I can still get a good 5-10 min laugh out of that shit.

 

That post belongs in the Internet HOF for Savagery.

The first few years of shaggy were unforgiving and brutal for anyone acting the fool.

We were like unleashed rabid dogs finally getting to feast.

"Buncha assholes on this site" originated form someone complaining about how abusive and mean we all were. 

The neg rep fatwa was a great way to deal with shit heads that just couldn't take a hint.

I joined right as the Taz drama was reaching its height. It was shortly after that when he and Derka had their “pay it forward” moment. Did Derka ever pay it forward?

Man that was two drunks going at it. I don't like what I did to that guy because he had way deeper issues than I gave a shit about at that time. I hope he is doing well and I think docholliday kept in touch with him. Maybe @troph knows if he's still ok. What I did was pretty savage... but... he did come after me first. Not a good idea to fuck with a internet savvy raging alcoholic 20-something.

Have no idea how I found Hornfans or what year. I do remember I had an iMac. Popular / prolific / prominent posters included Dances With Possums, Longhorn Girlie (RIP?), the People’s Elbow….And Scipio. I think it was right after one of the first Red River Shootout disasters. This is probably year 20 and this is. Y third handle and it’s one I need to retire. 
 

I only remember the cause behind one of my Blinking Envelopes of Death: in a drunken, sullen rage I callled Stephen McGee an asshole. Whalecunt herself lectured me on how that was no way to talk about a 21 year old. Shit, if an internet rando calling him an asshole got under Mcgees skin, he is a pussy and an asshole. 
 

Over the course of a few days I started to notice a drop off in the quality and quantity of posts and evidence of lot deleted posts. There were also cryptic posts hinting about the birth of TOS. Soon enough one of you assholes sent me a PM and I was an earlyish poster there.

Took a few years off from about 2010 to 2015 or so…and I’ve been addicted since, at TOS and here. 
 

Here’s to 20 more assholes….

I started lurking Hornfans in 2000 while in high school. Buddy had told me it was the place to go for recruiting info and it was pretty fucking funny as well.  During study hall we could go to the library, and I'd just hit up the computer and catch up on Horns news. Started posting shortly thereafter, but not with any frequency. 

Found shaggy while scouring the internet at like 1am to try and get my Billy and April fix.  It was like a bizarro world HF from another dimension and the Billy and April thread had picked right up where it left off on HF.

My only regret about this community is that I didn't get here earlier.

Was invited by 2 established Shaggy posters because of connection on 5ATexasFootball.com in 2008. Every once in a while someone will(grasping at straws) give me shit about being a Tech fan on a UT site.  For some reason, it was always bigger than that to me. Have done some real life charity stuff because and/or with people on here.  Have met a few in person. Have posted some vulnerable shit in times of need and shaggy/surly always shows up.  Have also been roundly corrected when need be. As far as a "fake internet community" goes, it's hard to imagine one being better...or more fun.

Yeah, I joined the 360 board under a different user  name ( can't recall what it was) about the Oklahoma freak show/idoit time frame.  Then I moved to hornfans and longhornfanzone about the same time, it seems.  Joined as Diggler and have been that handle since.

Man, I recall the Louisville cheerleader saga that got whale cunt's billowy vulva all out of sorts.  So glad it happened, as it was a direct cause of shaggy being created.   

Damn, I've wasted copious amounts of time on these boards for more than a generation.

He definitely left but I think he is doing ok. It’s only been mentioned in passing once or twice, but Doc does stay in touch I think.

1995/1996 Oklahoma freakshow and I’m the idoit time frame too. Started as an innocent way to get recruiting news without having to call the Austin American Statesman fab 55 hotline for the weekly recorded update.  At one point I averaged 11 posts per day for 20 years counting HF/shag/surly. I’m moving in on 30 years now hoping to put a dent in that and at least bring it down to 9 or 10 a day on average. 
 

I watched a lot of drama rarely participated in it but enjoyed the rubbernecking.
 

I’ve shared way too much at times can’t believe I told you guys I peed on a fire and liked it. I loved pancho chat that saved me when we were having babies.

I worry about people dying that I know here, it used to be infrequent and tragic. People like Loree and Ldogg was it (died in a head on collision) had a profound impact on me. I’m not ready for more frequent announcements.

it’s not a secret I’ve struggled being here the last few years. It is what it is I guess. Still have no idea what I’m doing. 

assholes is a cute moniker but the humanity keeps showing up, no longer a bunch of care free kids I actually see a lot of pain, a lot of lost dreams, what ifs, mundane life, and coping through shit while we are trying to do the best we can now. Certainly some triumphs and successes, but I guess the humanity of it all has an appeal.

I forget his handle his wife was on these sites for a while mother Russia I think (lol). It was a long time ago.  Tragic accident. I still have a print out of a PM we shared. Real people here. Don’t forget it, ever.

Not Ldogg he is alive in Houston

It was “dog-something” or “something dog”. Old timers will know who I’m talking about. I know his actual name, I know his wife posted as mother Russia. This was easily a decade ago.

Man we all did shit on TOS that was wrong and would probably not go over well on Surly. We grow up, learn from it and try to be a better asshole.

 

Thx for the update @troph.

You forgot the worst part, that you had to sit next to me at a TX/OU game.

Damn, I joined shaggy during the 2010 realignment bullshit. I learned to lurk before posting, and when I found out that so many posts were needed for squirrel access, I started posting on game threads to up that post count.

I'm an old (over 50), but young'un on the boards.

Moved to surly as soon as I was given the info.
