Shartnado Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 iwarrior was never here, was he? That was just on wrestlingclassics, right? That was the only place I was signed up in before getting around here a while back. He was something else, if you were there at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was how I remembered it, yes. Back in the days when I was a lurker and would post maybe once a year, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Sorry for being nosy...was off the board for a day and saw paintbynumbers got Cashed. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Just look for his last several posts. It's pretty obvious. Reminded me of someone I knew (whose real name I know but whose posting name I've forgotten) who pointed the 'fite me' bit at me one night in IRC in front of about 10 of us. Can't recall if it was on the DVD chat or the HWL; it could have been either one. "NAME AND ADDRESS" over and over again was his version of it; I honestly couldn't stop laughing then, though in retrospect it's probably the cringiest thing to happen *to* me on the webs.

The Snare on St. Anger Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Reading through this thread brings back so many memories. I discovered so much through this board many years ago... So many things I love ie: 90's AJPW, Virtual Pro Wrestling and Fire Pro, my go-to meatball recepie... I used the name WWE Owns My Name in 2004 when they were buying all the ECW IP's after releasing everyone. I can't remember what name I used before then, but I always lurked far more than I posted, the exception being the nifty e-fed thing that got revived every few years heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Glad someone else answered as my guess would have been Joe Warren, for some reason people on this board talked about him far more than was probably justified so it stuck in my head.

Justin877 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I remember Filthy Tom Lawlor was a board member for a while as well. Before going onto his pugilistic endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yep. Tom Lawlor posted here for a long time. I'm not unconvinced that Joe Lauzon wasn't posting here as well since his good buddy was posting on here, but I can't figure out what his name would be. There was one dude on here whose name I can't recall. Maybe it was Wild Pegasus? Anyway, I bought a bunch of early TNA tapes off of him and he took forever to send them to me. I think I reached out to him on a weekly basis to ask when he was sending them and it was always, oh, sorry dude, I'll send them tomorrow. Then a week would go by and the same crap happened. I finally got those tapes after a couple months. Is goodhelmet still posting here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I don't think Goodhelmet's been around here in a bit. Based on Naylor's twitter it sounds like they still hang out from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the original list mentioned - throughsilver posted a little during the early days of the pandemic but hasnt been around in almost a year (with the caveat of how accurate the "Last Day Visited" number is) Ganc is/was covering politics in Jacksonville, FL. He is still active on Twitter but again it is all political throughsilver is the best guy. He's on my Facebook, looks very happy. On 3/17/2022 at 2:55 PM, Swift said: I miss FSW. He was a bit too dickish sometimes, especially to certain posters, but he was good for a laugh. What was funny about FSW is he was completely abrasive on the board and in his posting, but if you ever had one-on-one interactions with the guy, he was actually really nice, non-combative and shockingly lacking in confidence. Back when I was running the annual movie polls, I shot him a PM and asked if he wanted to submit a ballot since he seemed to watch a lot of movies and it took a lot of cajoling to get him to agree to it because he didn't watch a lot of indie/art films and "didn't want to ruin our poll". I remember specifically his #1 was Battle Los Angeles and he got all apologetic when it came up, then he was rather put off when "The Tree of Life" won the poll and said "I'm going to watch it, you assholes better not be wrong!" then came back and said that he'd loved it. Good times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) The last time I talked to him I was thinking of buying one of the '80s comps for the holidays and he said to wait a month or two so I of course forgot to follow up. Regret that now for sure. EDIT: Then again I am still sitting on pretty much all of Portland so... Edited March 31, 2022 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
