That may be the oldest active post, but I believe that there is an occasional purge, so the actual first thread is probably no longer here.Thanks. Looks like Beautiful Women was the fist post.1. Click "Start Date" on the bar above the thread names.

Same old, same old.
The Great Purge took care of a lot of old posts. That's why almost all of my posts are gone from back then. Kind of sad to think about it. :(So the SP and the FFA started at the same time? For some reason, I thought the FFA was added later.
Nope - they both always voted for Dodds.So early on, it was just Dodds and Bryant chatting with each other.
Who's hottest polls were probably inconclusive
So there wasn't a big bang in 2003? Well, I'll be damned.Board has been around since at least 2000. When it changed from "old yeller" to the new blue board I think everything was purged.
If that's true, it happened at old yeller. On this board, the Shark Pool and FFA started at the same time.Serious answer (and I've answered this before):
In the beginning, there was only one forum. Some guy created a thread asking what was everyone's favorite flavor of ice cream. Other posters flamed him for not discussing football. Joe Bryant came to his defense and wrote a post about "creating a community". Moments later the FFA came into being with that thread.

This is mostly true, except the non-football thread was started by Jon_Mx and it was titled "Obama sucks", even though he was a little-known Senator at the time.Serious answer (and I've answered this before):

Is that a euphemism? The reverse of a pearl necklace.I was wearing an onion around my neck, which was the style at the time.

you are correct.So the SP and the FFA started at the same time? For some reason, I thought the FFA was added later.
Long before Mr. Faulk first noticed a lump on his ball, there was the unfortunate case of Jerry Rice being deemed unworthy for the NFL Hall of Fame.Back when I first learned about Marshall Faulk's unfortunate testicular condition.

i got wind of this place over at the huddle in 1999/2000 and came over on day 1. there was one forum, the shark pool, there were prolly 4 threads.. being the trouble maker i am i started a thread called 'top 5 rock bands'.
came back the next day and discovered my thread had been moved to a new forum titled 'free for all'. no warning points were issued.
i will claim full credit
A long, long time ago, I can still remember how the fishing used to make me smile. And I'd start threads as slipperyslope, provide a hook and lots of rope, and catch the guppy posters by the pile. But naughty words they make Joe shiver, the language filter he'd deliver. Bannings on the doorstep, for every little misstep. I can't remember if I cried when I read the story about Clyde, but something touched me deep inside, the day the laughter died.The Great Purge took care of a lot of old posts.

So bye-bye friends at Footballguys.
Told a joke I thought was funny, but it made Jeebus cry.
Now Shick! and Joe said "Have a great season, guy."
Singin' this'll be the day my shtick dies. This'll be the day my shtick dies.
Did you get Chipotle love, or know Lake City Gar spoken of in the Family Feud thread? And did you partake in a cornhole? Can JB save your mortal soul? And can you teach Fro to set up us the poll? Not a single post became immune when the mods began our threads to prune. They'd kick off all the Jews, if they shared their non-Christian views. Don't circumvent the filters with words like "####." We can't have those free thoughts run amuck. But I knew my post would be struck, the day the laughter died.

Now for three years we've been on Big Blue and boredom's begun to accrue, but that's not how it used to be. And how the hell did it come to be that I'd wax nostalgic for Kid C? That's something no one could foresee. Oh, but it's the censorship I hate. They made Scoob's signature go straight. Only room for one queer, she'll make those Spics disappear. And while IC Alkies went to fight, he vowed to drive throughout the night. That death match would have been a sight the day the laughter died.

This username it soon will die. I've heard that some may use aliai, but IP bans can cause dismay.

Footballguys.com debuted May 1st 2001.Board has been around since at least 2000. When it changed from "old yeller" to the new blue board I think everything was purged.
Yeah, that was a long time ago. December 2001 was not the very beginning, since I started writing for FBG in June 2001 and I had been on the message board for a while before that. But still, what a trip down memory lane -- Cobalt Cruisin', Jets94, Happy Schnapps, Gigantomachia, Kid Charlemagne, AnOmlet, Smoo, Gold Dragon, Gatorman, kestrel...maybe not the first, but wayback - http://web.archive.org/web/20011211132102/http://footballguystalk.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=3
