History of the site

[rock747]

Whats the history of this site in relation to the indystar board? I have not been a big message board person until the last few years, but have heard posters mention the Star board here and pacersdigest there. People here talk about the Star days... was there a big split or what?

Re: History of the site

The split occurred in August of 2003, yes. A lot of the "main" users from the Star in those days migrated to here.

Why was there a "split"?

Pretty much came down to a lack of supervision and monitoring at STAR, if memory serves correct. Plus, they killed the Random Thoughts thread.

I think most people came over here for the topless waitress night and it just expanded from there.

Yup - 20,000 posts or so, thousands of pearls of wisdom, and recountings of special moments like PFFL and his dog . . .

Thanks. Years of therapy had finally erased that from my mind.

I remember Spicoli and I didn't have a home for a while until Hicks came to the rescue. I started posting on the Star site around 97/98 and for that loyalty got booted/banned for good after Spicoli and I had enough with a Celtic troll on the board. Apparently we hurt their feelings and yet did not post a single profanity in our posts.

Ah the good ole days when Spic and I made one hell of a tag team against the invaders.

I must have been drinking too much.

I don't remember playing the Celtics.
