21st July 2001 is when I made first contact. I was bored one day, and decided to look on the net for quality AFL/Carlton discussion. Found BigFooty!
When I was a newbie, I went to the chatroom. I still remember QT stating that I'll get addicted to this place, and I said I won't. He got the best of me... 8^P
I also remember Nolsey accusing me of being Rohan (of all people) in the chatroom when I was there the first time. TigerTank thought I was Karl (yet again, of all people). It was a pretty funny start actually... the rest is history.

well first i was in on the AFL site in the chat, and then a member of www.thepowerfromport.com gave me that site, so i joined up there, and then from there i found about about big footy, in may this year so i haven't been around for that long!
Hat told me too.....
I signed up here under a different name originally probably 8 months or so before this current user name. I heard about it in one of the football newsgroups. I rarely posted anything at the time. When I started up thepowerfromport.com I decided to change my user name to that. So I guess I've been around for close to 2 years. Sure has grown from back then.

Why leaving Vanders?
Signed up on February 15 of this year-- the night before my wedding to Jen. It was after 11 that night, and I couldn't sleep. So those who want to whinge about the drivel they think I post here, yes, you can blame it on the insomnia caused by my excitement.
Actually, after I heard about this site on another message board, I was also looking forward to the Wizard Cup game on Feb. 16 that eventually saw Geelong beating Richmond-- and I wanted to talk about the game's leadup on that night before. Discovered this place as a wonderful place to talk footy... after all, I was up til 3 a.m. on the site that first night.
And hence, my obsession has been fueled, and no regrets, and no turning back, either.
Cheers,
William

Why: I read a post by Raboyle in the Central District web site regarding perceptions of our supporters, during I think a time an assault occurred in norwood and everyone assumed who was involved. His line was: "Come and see what people are saying about us. Not good."
Here I am still. Wracking up the posts.

When Telsra hijacked the AFC site & we lost our members forum was told about BF & have been hanging around since.
I joined up with BF in about May 2002.
Why? Well, I heard about it when I was in "The Roost" www.rocketrooster.com then I followed Hollypig and RoosterWedgie in here and have been in here ever since!

I had only started following the sport closely. I found BomberTalk first, but it rarely worked, and at that time the company seemed to consist mostly of Matthew Lloyd groupies.
I cannot remember how I found this the first time. When I signed up, I merely wanted to lurk at first. As an American I wasn't sure how much I would be able to contribute, but here and there I started adding to whatever I felt I could without looking like too much of a poser. For a long time I kept the fact I was American a secret and didn't reveal it until I was a regular poster. I wanted to surprise people with that revelation and look like somebody who had done his homework before claiming to be any kind of fan.
I knew the fact that I picked Essendon as my club a year before winning a premiership would have looked suspicious to a lot of people so I felt like I had to go out of my way to prove I wasn't a bandwagoner. (I picked a club my eventual wife and family had supported for years. I just got lucky with the success thing.)
It has been a good education for someone relatively new to the game. It has given me the chance to get out and actually play the sport in a competitive context, and make a few social connections in the process. That's important for a relatively shy guy immigrating from the other side of the world.

Around this time last year I became a regular here - after the site was mentioned on a Yahoo club (before Yahoo changed them into Groups which pretty much killed them - and thanks to BomberGal for the mention). I registered about a week after the World Cup qualifyer, lurked silently for a few weeks and have inflicted 2 1/2 gorillas worth of fluff on you since then.
I'd actually been here before that, for a brief fleeting moment that until recently I had no memory of - until I discovered that I'd actually registered a user name with the grand total of 1 post.
I spend rather too much time here these days. You can count me as a BigFooty-holic.

Spidey told me to sign up and vote for her on a poll, then I just kept coming back and back.....damn u spidey
I found this place about 2 months ago...
Decided Carlton didn't have enough representation, so kept coming back. Now I quite like the place, there being no posters (other than the mods) that I don't like. I even don't mind Suzi.
