How did you discover Big Footy?

[Sttew]

For me I have to thank, or should I say blame Derryn Hinch. In 2006 he covered the story of medical records found in a street gutter confirming two high-profile Melbourne-based AFL footballers were supposedly having treatment for drug addiction at a clinic. Hinch was up in arms that he couldn't name the footballers but he reported that the players' identities had been revealed in an online forum known as 'BigFooty.com'.

I never found out the identity of the players but had a good look at the BF forum, like what I saw, and the rest was history.

That was in 2006. A year or so later I suggested to my brother that he should have a look at BF, and 20,000+ posts later he is still hooked.

What about you?

Same way I met my wife. I was drunk.

 

[Square Peg]

I googled "chat room for social misfits" and it was at the top of page one

 

[Slartibartfast]

EFC drug scandal, i knew someone would be talking about it.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

4chan was getting too respectable and intellectual so I started looking for a new forum.

 

[Mofra]

Chief met me one night when I was semi-naked amidst a sweaty argument with a lady of 'dubious income producing means' in a back-alley opium den in the poorer suburbs of Shanghai and begged me to join, arguing I was 'BigFooty material'.

With little hope for a return to regular society without his help and guidance I relented and joined BigFooty and have remained in debt to his benevolent nature ever since.

 

[Firestarter]

Moderated another forum and they'd bring this one up to make fun of it.

Then... thought I'd stick around.

 

[The_torpedo]

Wanted to learn how to create mock-ups of footy jumpers.

1.5 years in and I still haven't moved on from paint.

I've gone through that many alias' I can't even remember who am I anymore let alone why I joined.

I had a little cry when I read this.

Have a bellend mate that would argue everything that Collingwood did was better than Geelong even to the point he was arguing Harry O was better than Enright and Maxwell was better than Scarlett. Kept using this thing called Bigfooty as his back up. Go check the Poll on Bigfooty he would say...............

In a cruel and unusual punishment, I was ordered by a judge to do time here.

I often wish he’d just given me the chair.

 

[treefingers]

I was searching for dream team tips as a 13 year old - pretty scary that I'm close to having been on bigfooty for almost 50% of my life.

 

[Oscarman]

Think it was Trade Week 2004 and wanting to find out about whether Brent Moloney was coming to the Dees.

 

[Wojcinski]

Trying to find footy streams back in the day and Google kept linking me to BF threads

 

[Paganism mark II]

I was googling midget pr0n and got lost

 

[dajesmac]

Weirdly found a link to a Bay 13 thread through a google image search. Stumbled on an idiotic post by a Docker's fan (something along the lines of 'his parents clearly didn't use birth control') and I thought I was hilarious calling him out. Turns out the post was several years old and that I was the idiot.

You're not lost at all

 

[Toump Ass]

Got some great tips on how to pick up chicks back in the day.

I owe everything the bigfooty

 

[magpienato]

Was looking at clash jumpers ideas on Google images. Found the FJGD Board and the rest is history. I've been on since about 2014 but only made an account in 2016.

 

[Tasfut]

From searching brownlow predictions on google

Wow, BF was something different back then

Was off my chops one night, feeling lonesome and surfing the net. Thought I'd typed in Big Fanny and this came up.

Must be because some of the biggest campaigners are on here.
