I have been here since April 2003.

[GeorgiaWildKat]

I was on wildcat faithful and wildcat chat before here. I was on some board around 95. AOL maybe.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Been here a long time. Also visited a couple boards a few years before this one around 98/99.

 

[GeorgiaWildKat]

It has been a long long time since I have wrote a reply but reading the familiar names from the past got me encouraged to respond again. The boards names have changed but many of the posters have not.

 

[caneintally]

Been reading this board in all its vareties since 98 or so . Signed up and started posting in 2002. Been some great times on here and really only a few azzwipes and we all know who they are so i can't complain .

 

[runningbears_rivals310920]

What about TC Wildcat ? Or someone like that was an "insider" and wound up ripping people off over travel deals or something like that ?

If I remember right SmokeyPearl was a Purdue grad ?

Zorak, Babs, Keith, Doc, and Rainman. Old memories. Babs was/is actually quite charming in person.

Yes she is. I still have contact with her occasionally. I came on in the mid 90's and me and ShyCat welcomed Babs to the board. That was the old Microtek board, IIRC. She is special lady.

I wonder what happened to Rainman (Steven John)? I have lost all contact with him.

[Dutycat]

I've was here when everyone loved Tubby and the Come Back Cats.

 

[joecat]

Today I passed 14000 post. I was on an earlier board and lost my post count. Who has been here longer than me?

I have been here since January 1 2003 and have 335 posts.

 

[lawrencekash]

I had a vasectomy and have not used those for many years.

I resemble that remark!

 

[Orionorl]

. Babs was/is actually quite charming in person.

I would have to see some proof of that. IMHO she was the Frau Blucher (Horse whinny) of the Keith cult of personality.(' SAY IT! He vas my....BOYFRIEND!!)

Been here slightly longer. Joined when I still had dialup, LOL. On a lot but don't post that much.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

My first uk message board experience was "firetubby.com" around 06 I guess. Anyone remember it?

I do remember that. It was a really hilarious website, but sadly accurate with what Tubby did to the program.

 

[HICATFAN]

You were a GSTD, weren't you HICATFAN?

Yes, then and now...HICATFAN

I also remember the microtech board

AlohaCat

 

[UKphotoman]

Came here from wildcat faithful as well. Really liked that board until the big mess happened and drove most of the regular posters here. Read the board several times a day though I don't post much.

 

[lwbb_rivals101553]

This were i get my news

 

[John Henry]

Interesting see some of the old names mentioned from the early days. I remember a Katman who had another message board called Dynasty Defenders. It was a free speech board with special emphasis on getting Tubby out of town. I have no idea what ever happened to it. Does it still exist?

Another name was Greg Hoover. He was everywhere and I think may have been banned from more boards that anyone on record. Smokey Pearl was the inventor of the word "racist". Everything to him was racist and he spewed out on most every sports board in America how racist UK fans were. The boy had issues.

 

[Bryguy]

JD = Jeff Drummond was the big dog moderator. What is he doing now?

With Scout

 

[Bryguy]

I posted on the Herald Leaders board for a few years as Turd Ferguson. Some guy named CatFanInHawaii was hilarious, I wonder who that is on here.[/QUOTE

Isn't that AlohaCat?

 

[GreenRiverCat]

By the way, anyone missing the "who's on line" feature, there's a little icon at the top, right corner that, if you click on it, will show you who's on line. If you put your cursor on it , it will read "quick navigation".

 

[Blue Angel]

Dec. 20, 2002 and 119 posts. Is that a record? I was on a couple of years before that under a different name but the count wasn't at a higher rate so still pretty low. I'm on here several times a day, pre-season, post-season, anytime. I've been following the Cats since around 1973 and would rather watch them practice than anyone else play. I've learned a lot, laughed a lot, and cannot imagine wasting my time being a fan of any other team. GBB!

 

[Rage of the Elderly]

I think the original board was Wildcatfaithful, but there may have been one before that. All I remember for sure was it was during the recruitment of Magloire in the spring of 96...

No. Mel McCain created Wildcatfaithful, I believe in 2002, after he had worked on the museum site for a short time. Before that, he had posted 'here' (Wildcat Chat) for a period of time. He dedicated his life and finances to to Wildcatfaithful, and even mentioning the site would get you banned by 'the powers that be' that were around here ( and as I found out today, they still delete any posts that mention the anything construed as negative about those long gone mods). Mel was all Wildcat, rest his soul...

 

[Mike-D]

Been here since 2001. And TC can confirm.

 

[Seth C]

Jan 9, 2003 on this board. Earlier at one of the ones that became this one.

 

[uk never falls]

I had a couple accounts before I settled on this name. And I think the rivals board originated somewhere else. I was also on WCF.

 

[ArmyWildcat81]

SmokeyPearl wasn't a Tubby fan. It turned out that he wasn't even a Kentucky fan.

He was a UK fan until he was not invited to one of the old meetings at a buffet. This enraged him, and he immediately began attacking that group, and UK fans in general. He then switched his loyalty to Cincy, which UK ended up playing(and whipping) in the tourney. UK fans gave him Hell over that one(much deserved). PearlSmoker was a complete tool.

 

[ArmyWildcat81]

What ever happened to Katman2000? Is he still around? )

 

[Bigtyrone]

May 2002. Was on several earlier boards. WCC I think was the big one. Eventually became KSR (report, not radio) after several incarnations. Rainman / Steve ran it primarily.

 

[KyCat]

Anyone remember Rainman/BuzzLightyear? I wonder who he is now?

I remember the Rainman fiasco... forget the name of that board and the better question is to wonder how many people he is now, LOL.

I have been posting or mostly reading on some kind of board since 1995 but for some reason never migrated to this one until a year or so ago. There have been so many boards over the years it is hard to keep up. The one I called home for a long time after Rainman was the Cats Domain, a much smaller board which I still visity today though its numbers and activity have dwindled.

 

[know1]

My profile says I've been on here since 2002. I don't care much for post counts, etc.

 

[wromanp7]

I honestly don't remember.
