How did you find out about bigfooty?

[Blues2001]

Now this is the type of thread that has probably been done multiple times before, but as I haven't yet seen one, I thought i'd get in now.

So how did you first get to know about bigfooty?

Did a friend tell you (like I told goalden hawk)?

Did you hear about it from another internet site?

I was just wondering how bigfooty manages to get so many people in here.

I myself first heard about it at the carltonfc.com.au fans forum, a forum I no longer visit now that I have bigfooty!

Someone mentioned it on the forum of the official Roos site. Likewise, I very rarely post there anymore (except when BigFooty cacks itself).

Well, the official Hawthorn message board turned to ****, i wrote a message on there saying how i thought it had gone down hill. DCFC read my post and emailed me with 2 sites that i should try, one was this site and the other was his own site 'Hawks HQ' (Shameless plug )

I mainly post on DCFC's site and hawksheaven.com. This site is good when the Collingwood and Essendon fans (not all of them) aren't having there 'We have bigger crowd & more supporters contests'

Same here - I heard about it on one of the Collingwood forum's (I think it was the official forum site - which is ****e).

Same deal as Chris basically - either someone posted it on the hawksheaven site or the official one when I was sick of reading all the pathetic posts from pimply faced teenage girls gooing and gaaing over Croady and Hay.....GRRRRRRRRRRR

Someone mentioned BigFooty on the Bulldogs forum in April when it was taking forever for our posts to appear on the official forum. I was warned that it could be a little rough in here! I find most BigFooty people passionate, yet very friendly to opposition as long as you respect them as much as you'd wish to be respected. I just ignore the crude posts and never respond to them.

What I really like is how people support others in their time of need e.g. lioness' break up, localyokel's baby, mags' question about doing the VCE, etc. Some of the topics in the General Forum are a real "hoot"! The current ones on male/female body parts are classics!

BigFooty has kept me sane the past few months. I'm on my computer until 3am (my time) some mornings reading and responding to various posts. This forum has helped me get through the rough time here with my father's illness. I can't wait to meet some of you on my return to Melbourne next year (fingers crossed). Like StealthBomber, you'll recognise me by the Midwestern American accent!

 

[The Hitman]

Kinda the same as Sly and Chris.

I stumbled on DCFC's site, and then that got me involved with hawksheaven.com, and people like Sly, Chris, DCFC etc. told me about Bigfooty, and I came and had a gander.

Simple. I was bored at work one day, started surfing the net and stumbled across a link to Big Footy.
After browsing the site for a few minutes I told one of the guys in my office to have a look at it and we decided then it would be fun just for that afternoon to stir up some Essendon supporters.

So I gave myself a username (with his help and his suggestion) and started posting.

I received such a lovely welcome I decided to stay!

 

[Macca19]

Asgardian told me in ICQ one day to come check out BigFooty...so i did!

 

[Mags]

I have been here since Dec 1999 but only registered in Jan 2000 (Before Dan25 Too ) as Magpiera.... But didnt post much then.

I honestly cant remember how I found Bigfooty exactly.... Its been ages lol.

I remember telling alot of ppl on other msg boards about it though.

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

I found out through wwfdownunder.com

Someone came in and posted a message telling everyone to come down to bigfooty and argue a 'wrestling is ****' topic. So I came down, signed up as BIG POPPA PUMP (not expecting to be here long) and for some reason Im still here

 

[topdon]

Heard it mentioned on the EFC website and on Usenet. Thought i'd check it out.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Took heed of Bluey's spamming on r.s.f.a and/or a.s.a-r.

Now proud to be BigFooty's longest serving REGULAR contributor (next to Bluey! )!

 

[Mr Ripper]

Blues2001 'fessed...
Did a friend tell you (like I told goalden hawk)?

Ah-hah! So it's your fault!

 

[topdon]

Rip...you are the master. You don't post at r.s.f.a and/or a.s.a-r hardly anymore. Well neither do i...much...but i guess i can't help myself. Guess it is good cos there are quite a few regular Ess supporters who post there...and there's Mic Cullen...always good for a laugh. But then there is Power Mad and Senor Skase...urgh!!

 

[FIGJAM]

It was either from Sly's board (Unnofficial AFL Ranting Board) or Hotrod's board [Bullet In Board (Collingwood only)]. I am a voyeur of both of these boards!

I remember someone making a reference to Bigfooty and how big a "crock" it was. Then the person went on to say (paraphrasing) "what the hells up with that Dan24 idiot".

Sorry Dan, but this is a true story!

I joined here 'cause its more eventful than Sly's board and I don't think anyone around here is an idiot! Now that FitzroyJamesDio is gone of course!!!

Yeah...thank god that pair never post here!

 

[Fat Red]

You told me about it. If Goalden hawk and I lose our jobs, it's your fault!

 

[Richmondfan#1]

There was a link on a Richmond site. Eye of the Tiger i think it was.

This is sad, but yet true!
I found out from Homework Boy!
What a bad reputation he had on that name, but now he has another name, but I wont say what it is!

Who is homework boy? The name rings a bell but I can't remember where from....

I found it from a site that over the last 2-3 weeks, does not seem to be working, and may no longer be around. It was called total footyaustralia. It had websites for a few state league clubs, local club websites, footy tipping websites, AFL websites and more.
