Just for something different, thought I would see if anyone has any interesting stories of how they came across the hellscape that is Bigfooty.

For me, it was early 2008 and the halcyon days of Gavin Urquhart. He had just played a blinder, and if my failing memory serves me correctly, that was the game with the epic chase-down-holding-the-ball tackle. I was desperate to find other people that shared my excitement over what would surely turn out to be our next superstar, and threw search after search into Mr Google looking for anyone that would agree with me. 12 years later and I'm still here :$

Anyone got any good stories?

I discovered this thing called the internet back at the turn of the century, and after doing some initial research (exhausting all the porn possibilities), I wondered if it had any content about North.

Bingo, here I am.

Not interesting, but back in 2000 I found the old NMFC fans board (can't remember the name of it now) through a friend who had heard of it but wasn't a regular - and in early 2001 a bunch of us moved over here (Rose, Shinboners, who else?). It was better managed and easier to use than the old one, still a pretty small group here until early 2002 when this board exploded in the light of the Carey/Stevo/Arch events.

Entirely unrelated to North, just saw Geelong obliterate Melbourne by 30 goals and was curious how Dees fans were reacting.

My mate a few months before had mentioned the forum and I essentially searched and found it. Lurked for a few months and then finally made an account.
