I'm still here. But not coming to the website as I used to.

I've been focusing on work ever since my breakup after two years of dating. You guys know how it goes. You start seeing someone and many things get put on the back burner. well... Now I'm playing catchup.

Doing a lot of traveling. was just in Philly not too long ago and called Scottie but just got his voicemail.

Made a point of walking around Central park along "The Gates" But I'll wait til it's warmer before I really hangout in the Park on a regular basis (not THAT way, you perv!)

I know I missed a lot of sports discussions. All I gotta say is "Louisville Cardinals in The Final Four Baby!!!" Bring it!

When I get some time, I'll start appearing in the sports and politics discussions again.

Hello to everyone I haven't "spoken" to in a long time.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Where's Waldo?

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

Seriously though I am still concerned about the whereabouts of Seph and Thumper? I miss them alot!

I'm here guys. Yes, it's nice to know there are those that miss you when you're not around. Things are fine but I have just had a very busy travel schedule with the new job lately and it hasn't allowed me a lot of down time to visit Outsports like I used to.

Glad to see my beloved MDB and George still here.

Still worried about and missing IT Jock.

And the natural follow up to "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" is

"Whatever Happened to (the miserable, mean, bitter and sexy) PhillyFan"?

Don't you think the nice, sunshiny, optimistic PF is still sexy? Or do you just go for bad boys? wink

I'll start a poll on that topic later.... got some (insert Bugs Bunny voice) eeeeeeeee-teresting theories on that one! wink

Glad to "see" you Theo. Already plotting my strategy for next season of OFFL!

There I was, on vacation in Rome. Visiting the Vactican and the Sistine Chapel.
Well, 'Tacky,' doesn't begin to discribe it. So I got out my Sharpie and started painting mustaches on all the faces on the wall.
I got arrested and locked in some storeroom. For the last year I've been living off communion wafers and wine.
The last thing I remember after screaming, "Let me out, let me out!" was the Popes reply, "Over my dead body."

Well, here I am. Nice to be back guys.

Oh my gawd! Welcome back thumper!!! Could the return of bluebird be next? eek!

It's thumper!!! Woooo-hoooooooooo!!!!!!!

You cannot be comparing Thumper with Bluebird! eek! wink

And please don't even kid about the possibility of the Bluester's return! Please! :mad:

But seriously, nice to hear from you Thump even if it did take the death of the Pope for you to get back to us. They can always elect a new Pope; there is only 1 Thumper!

Welcome back, Thumper!

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about...

Thanks for the warm welcome back guys.
Just had to take a year off and consentrate on some personal problems that came up. Lots of ups and downs. I mean I like rollercoasters, the real ones, but not in my personal life.
Anyway, I'm back on track now, WAHAHAHA

Work's been insanely busy lately (and they pay for this computer, so I kind of have to do some ). Otherwise I've been fine.

Just in case anyone was, you know, wondering or anything. [Resumes lurking.]

I am still very concerned about ITJock (Rob), as this was his last posting on 1/31/05. If anyone has heard from him off the board please let us know.

I'm bringing back this thread to see if there's anyone else who hasn't posted lately but is still lurking on the board, in case they'd like to check in with us.

Someone sent me a PM asking about George Twinsfan (aka George vikingfan), who hasn't posted in a while. I cannot reply to the PM because their PM Mailbox is full. But to answer the question, I haven't heard from George lately. I hope he is well. If you're lurking, George, please check in.

I still read from time to time.

Curious. I was just wondering where Mr. William is at or has been. Or has he morphed into Mimatt from Michigan??? eek! Just wondering....

Hey Joe! I'm still around but have been quite ill most of the summer. Things are looking up right now. Thanks for thinking of me!

And MunsonMan-thanks for the PM. I tried to reply but your mailbox is full which means you are extremely popular or exteremly despised! wink

Glad you're doing better George_Viking/Twinsfan. Now we can feel free to gossip mercilessly about you.

Thought maybe GVF got one of those scalped Supe tickets from Tice and was beaten silly be an eagles fan....

Plus, who would steal all my Ying-Ling!

George, great to hear you're OK. I've just emptied my PM inbox of all the unread PM's so feel free to write (you too, Joe).

perhaps GVF can clean his out too?

I was going to try and make a joke about cleaning out my box, but it hits a little too close to home at the moment. Anyway I've just cleaned out my PM's.

Ahem....



George, I'm happy to hear you're doing better. Hope things continue to look up for you.

Now, if only someone could find the mysterious Seph...
wink

60 messages, GVF has ALOT of room in his "Box"

Sounds like a Sting weekend at Jack-in-the-box.

Finally, success in logging in after numerous frustrating attempts, and no response to requests for help from Outsports administrators. I'm not sure if my absence was noticed since I am less prolific than many others, but I think I qualify as a 'missing poster' as it's been three months since my last post. I was on an extended trip to South America in May-June and busy with other stuff since returning, but am now looking forward to chatting with y'all soon about hockey, baseball and other earth-shattering issues.

Marc: I checked our in box and could find no requests.

Welcome back, Marc!

Thank you, Joe

Jim, when I clicked on 'contact us' after many futile attempts to log in, an e-mail window opened with the address mail@outsports.com so that is where I sent my questions. They were not bounced back with a 'failed delivery' notice, so I assumed you had received them, but apparently not. Perhaps there is another address I should have used?

Hey Marc:
For some reason we never saw them. It is possible they wound up in Bulk Mail for some reason. Either way, glad to have you back! wink

G-Lo, glad to see you around. The OFFL has an ABP out on the under-achieving Purple People Eaters.

Check your email.

Hey T Ho. I just replied to you and gave you an alternate email in case the other one still doesn't work.

Anyway I got a clean bill from the doctor yesterday and should be back to my old self in a few weeks. And I'd love to be back playing FF as I have a division title to defend along with a string of first round playoff exits!!!

Yeah, thanks to Joe in Philly who started this.

Indeed. William1865 hasn't been around in months. Did life in our nation's capital finally get to him?

He probably got sick of what OS has become. There are many old regulars who said, "to hell with that place." I think we have around 2/3 the number of "regulars" that once graced this venue. The clock is ticking on OS. I blame P&R.

I also worry about the fate of Outsports. I still think that there is a critical mass of people who chime in on the various sports of their choosing. But as a (relatively) new member, I've barely posted more than 100 times and I've already witnessed first-hand the arrogance and condescension of some of the members of this board, especially on the P&R forums. Perhaps this is an unfortunate side-effect of having online anonymity.

It's also pretty unfortunate that some of the Outsports members who've been here the longest are also some of the most mean-spirited. frown

How about this for an idea: Delete the P&R section entirely. The whole darned thing. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I get soooooooo tired of trying to impart my illustrious wisdom upon the masses there.

Yeah I hear you. You can only joke about officially biking on meth so much.

I was thinking of starting a thread on a sporting subject but then I would just be posting to myself when I ran out of hot cycling friends to post pictures of.

can I try again? I stopped by a while ago but never really got into posting regularly. As it turns out, I am looking for a new online community. I've never been extremely interested in sports, but I participate in running and weightlifting. you could say that I am searching for my "inner jock" wink could this be the place for me?

Running and weightlifting are athletic activities, and since the site is for athletes as well as fans, I'd say this is the place for you. wink

I understand your feelings,Neptune but there are also some super nice folks on this board so it all balances out. wink

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. I actually dropped internet service at my house because I wanted to go outside and meet people. (Bright Lights) LOL

I miss you all, and think about you all often. I went to the Gay Rodeo in Calgary, and had a blast, and then to Vancouver BC for Pride this summer. Talk about a good time!

Other than that, I have been workin out, and trying to get into shape. I've lost 40 Lbs in the last year and feel great.

I have also met a great guy in the last few months, and I'm enjoying every minute I get to spend with him.

So, once again, thanks for the shout out up above, and sorry I haven't been around. I'll try to check in more often.

Love ya guys!

Hey MSU! Thanks for the update. I miss seeing your posts. Glad to hear you are doing well. And you found yourself a fella! Nice.
How the j-o-b?

Yippee! Bobcat...good to hear from you. You've been missed around here, but from the sounds of it life is sweet. Congrats on the weight loss.

Bobcat, glad to have you back buddy. I'm glad to see that everything is going so well and congrats on the new beau.

Don't be a stranger and come on back with us old timers.

As the boards #1 war cheerleader, Im sure he decided to "walk the walk" and finally enlisted in the war he so badly wanted.

Either that or he's hooked up with the ear/nose/throat doctor. What do you think MIB?

Posted by thethinredline:

haven't heard anything about Greg Congdon in a while. just wondered how he was getting on. I could relate to him a lot more than the Corey Johnson guy who's story got more attention.

Beats me. I hope he's all right.
