What were the top 3 historical forum posts?

[Corpand]

Just randomly wondering, what were the top 3 topics/posts that made you go "WOW!" or something of that sort???

For me in no specific order:

DeRo signing

Big Bruva teasing the shit outta us about the Ricketts signing

Anything by Barbarez

[JDG]

Cashzilla is by far the most memorable thread.

[Shaughno]

My post about Fowler in Canada or something, when it was rumoured that got the scousers all worked up... when in reality it was a picture of a business across the street from my work. :lol:

In my mind anyway. :D

[Roogsy]

I think we all know the most memorable thread on this board...LOL!

It was a dark day for the RPB.

LOL hahahah what? dont remember that hahahahahaa.

[Shaughno]

No? It was very early and Exiled Red kept making posts about how it made sense if Fowler were to come to TFC. All the scouse got excited, so I took a picture of the place across the street from my work and made a thread about Fowler in Canada or something. :lol:

[BC101]

hahahahaaha LOL... Exiled is their God thats why they got all excited cos once he approved they fell into line LOL. I wish I wielded that kinda power with the mancs LOL.

We can thank JDG for being the biggest and most loyal contributor to that thread.

He is a legend.

I have my inventory of Megan Fox pics just from that thread alone. :thumbsup:

Single greatest post in history.


I don't care if they were playing Joe Clarke, Joe Stalin a pair of Joe Boxer underwear I'd still want the Tegucigalpa Impact to lose, fuck them and their fleur-de-lys

In a thread where some people were cheering for the Limpact in the Champions League against Joe Public, "to celebrate Canadian soccer" or some nonsense.

[Rudi]

That huge one with Croat leaving was a dousey
Even I participated in that thread. :D

[GhostPK]

How about "Seattle picks Smith... Jarrod Smith"

[Cashcleaner]

How about any of the first few threads that had Colin Samuel and the mention of eating pies?

funniest : Cashzilla thread.
darkest : the thread.
memorable: Croat's departure.

[ensco]

The most hate-filled thread was the one after Cunningham missed from 2 feet out against Montreal. Pages and pages of it.

I remember that. Quite a lot of emotion there.
Unfortunately I never met Croat and somehow feel less for it :noidea:

[Lucky Strike]

The most hate-filled thread was the one after Cunningham missed from 2 feet out against Montreal. Pages and pages of it.

That moment made sure that Cunty would be railroaded out of here, tarred and feathered. If you remember, even JC tore a strip off him by saying something like: "I don't know how he's managed to get 99 goals" and constantly repeating that we needed a striker.

The funniest threads for me were the Collin Samuel pie threads and the Peter Crouch picture where he's all contorted and photoshopped into other situations.

[FluSH]

my most memorable thread was on the board BEFORE excoboard when everyone was coming up with ideas of what TFC's jersey would look like.


aaaah the good old excoboard... which reminds me of "The invasion" when we infiltrated Real Salt Lake's board and started a shit storm there! HA! they eventually found out and came to our forums... part of the reason we moved away from the excobards :D

Hot Chix Thread - Thanks JDG
Hot Milf Thread - Thanks to JJ for coming up with that idea. Nothing like talking about doing Claire Huxtable during a footy match

I wasn't around for the ones you guys are talking about

[jabbronies]

"The Thread" was probably one of the most defining moments in RPB message board history. People were called out, loyaltys were in question. IMO the turning point in RPB history.

Fucking epic...I think I only posted once or twice in that, but we maxed out the page limit on it for sure.

That was my thought.. there have been a few 'the threads' including the Croat one.

[Roogsy]

Since that is the one that began the whole debacle...that is heretofore "the thread that shall not be mentioned"...

[Dave67]

'The Thread' was an explosive moment when the group needed to determine what the hell a supporters group was and was not about. It really can't be explained well in a summary. It might have just been the straw that broke the camels back.

Anyway at the time some people were puting heroic efforts into certain things, the group just needed to decide if those things were what this supporters group was really about.

For me it was a definate time when I realised that some members of other supporters groups were a hell of a lot more knowledgable than I gave them credit for. A great time to right the ship and change course and a sad time to lose some members out to sea. The old members are dead, Long live the new members!

or maybe I was drunk :)

See? Was that so hard. :D Sure sounds like serious stuff and you probably figured out that I asked simply out of curiosity. No names needed to be mentioned, just a synopsis like above is fine. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.:canada:

Lol true, it's like way back in the 1600s, the Church banned a book for whatever reason, all it did was make people want to read it more to see why it is forbidden.

In the early 80's I was living in Alberta and on vacation back in my hometown of Montreal. The movie Caligula was playing in Montreal and it had been banned in Alberta so I just had to go.

Sometimes those censors are right....

[canadian_bhoy]

"The Thread" isn't even close. In fact, the only time I even think about it is when people bring it up here.

Most memorable is a toss up between the original Jersey design thread on toront-fc.com, the Famous in Utah thread or my personal favorite - the LA Galaxy vs TFC Beckham/Landycakes photoshop thread.

Thankfully, the most memorable moments of the group have been in person and not on a internet messageboard.

[H Bomb]

I cant remember anything that happened before i woke up today. so this one.

[Dave67]

The one where Nascar threatened to turn people 'into a parking lot' was good too. :) To this day I live in fear of being 'turned into a parking lot'.

I'll never forget the day when we went down to the field to snap some pics and parkdale fell off the food building into the bushes! :D

Those pics got me pumped up every day - it seemed to go up so fast! I remember when the bum buckets started to go in and it was such a great feeling to see them putting TORONTO in the stands.

How crap would the stadium look if they just made it with gray benches

[nobodybeatsthewiz]

ahhh, king and dufferin....kevin clark, where are you rollerblading in your santa costume now?

[AL-MO]

I was a lurker on the boards at the time, but the Cashzilla thread was probably the one I remember the most.

I remember some others for all the wrong reasons, but I won't mention them.

[Parkdale]

ahhh, king and dufferin....kevin clark, where are you rollerblading in your santa costume now?

you know when they build a condo tower, they start by digging up the group to make the sub basement? Well in doing that, it makes a huge pile of dirt, usually about 30 of 40 feet up in the air. Well there's one of those near East Liberty street, and Kevin Clark climbed it, and made a fort up there. He used rocks to decorate the sides, and just hung out there all day, smoking crack and yelling at people who walked by. It was a very classic moment, even though it's more like Liberty Village over there.

[AL-MO]

As for memberable photos, I wish I had a camera on me this one time but didn't.

It was after the Colorado game(i think) and I was walking back to my car which was parked in the East Parking lot for the tailgate.

This was the game that they did the Budgie tribute. We held up the banner, and then hung the banner behind the net. At the end of the game we decided to leave the banner at the stadium. (there wasn't a better place for it)

On my walk back to my car, I walked up to the stadium to see if it was still there. IT WAS! They had taken everything down including banners and advertising, but they decided to leave BUDGIE up. Wish I had a camera that night, would have made for a memorable picture.

uhh it would look like terracing. which is fine with me.

[canadian_bhoy]

Terracing and steel benches are definitely not the same thing (or even close).

As long as we're not forced to sit down, I'm quite happy with the seats.

[Sonny Cheeba]

well.... old terracing was basically wooden steps, similar to those steel benches seen in that shot of 104.

whether it's wood, steel, or concrete, terracing is terracing. if they put some of those seats without the back i'd be happier.

[GingerNinja]

One my favourite entertaining threads was the story thread Jayeden started. No one could post more then 7 words at a time and you weren't allowed to post back-to-back.

yep, in 2027 when TFC cel;ebrates it's 20th anniversary by moving into a 50,000 seat stadium, I'm buying my red seats and installing them in my basement in front of the tv. All TFC away games will be watched on them.

I'm pretty sure that's what they still have at Tannedice. Oh man - when I was there in 05, the seats were all wooden! Hilarious! and how the hell can they have obstructed view seats in a Soccer specific stadium!?

yeah on one or two of the corners the concrete terracing is still there.

you must've been in the shed. a lot of the terraces in scotland were retrofitted with wodden benches as a cheap way to make the stadiums all-seater.

i went to a dundee (not united) game at dens park with my dad and that was the case, numbers were painted on the seats and each "seat" was separated by a white line.
and of course dundee lost.... hahaha

Sorry, I should elaborate on that.

He said many times himself that most of the information he posted was to be found with a little bit of research and reading on the internet. Not just wikipedia, but other sources as well.

He definitely has a wide depth of knowledge about the game, no question! But combine that with good research and you get what BBTB brought.

I remember the heated debates about the BMO "300" commericals and how some RPB's were extremely angry with TFC/BMO for improperly portraying the supporters of the club. They though it was a mockery of the work that has been done to build up the profiles of the supporters groups. >>>Concede Defeat and Go Home!>>>>
