Why Did You Join When You Joined?

Not talking about the exact date/year you joined, but rather the MONTH you joined... what prompted you to sign up for a message board account?

 

I joined on Sept. 4, 2003... obviously needed some fantasy advice for Week 1 (which started 3 days later).

 

I see some joined in-season, and others during the off-season.

 

So what prompted you to join when you did?

 

:D

Honestly,

 

Thought I knew it all, but consistently bombed in my local. So I went looking for advice and came across the Huddle as one of many sites. The banner said voted #1 Fantasy Football Site 3 years in a row.

 

Good enough for me....

 

And have won two out of the last three years in my local.

 

:D

My story is a little amusing. I started a league with my 2 brothers and dad and a bunch of other guys that I knew from my high school days. My dad didn't have the same amount of time to do the research for the draft that we all did which put him at a HUGH disadvantage. My brothers and I are always talking crap about each others fantasy teams and we don't let up on the old man either. He desperately wants to win and so he went out and found The Huddle to help him draft. When he told us that he had found a site online that you have to pay to get information we were all floored. He didn't stop hearing about how bad his team was going to be until after the season started and we all realized how good his team was. I ended up sneaking on his computer so I could find out what site he found that gave him such a big advantage. I paid DMD shortly after and then a couple days later I joined the message boards. :D

 

Both of the brothers also joined the Huddle this year too, so at least 4 people in my local league are members. Unfortunately one of my brothers doesn't think things through and has mentioned the greatness of the huddle to a bunch of the other league members. DMD should enjoy hearing that...

 

Anyways, last year Dad ended up in the playoffs and only lost because Larry Johnson was a stud that week. My team didn't even make the playoffs and was in the lower half of the league.

I finally got around to paying by that time. I procrastinate.

Same here! Like a drug dealer, give it free, get you hooked and then they got you by the snarklies the rest of your life! :D

I'm pretty sure I joined in August because I wanted to enter the fray of preseason discussions.

 

 

Me too, used to prowl around for free here even but I did find one of my old names this year :-) Just joined originally because it was a good place to talk fantasy f-ball when the net was new and the explosion was just around the corner....

had problems with my login so I had to start a new account. hence the "2" in vote quimby2. the original votequimby account started sometime in 01, but i don't remember the month. i'm guessing around August, maybe later though.

 

:D That was account #2976 and was in July 2002.
