yep would have been around your mid-life as a poster. (2008/ 2009 ish)
Quote:I remember the hot dog stand thread, but not any details.
A Steeler fan once threatened to beat me up for a post I made on the old T-U board. He also shut the board down temporarily by spamming dozens of empty posts.
Has anyone else ever been threatened with physical violence because of a message board post?
There used to be a user on the usenet group who would claim to be a marine and regularly challenged anyone who disagreed with him to fight.

You were a mod around the 2008/ 2009 time frame....do you remember the hot dog stand thread?
Why is this being brought up now? Are you doing a history of the board or something?
What am I missing? You want to know the results of something that may have happened five or six years ago? That only one other (apparently) poster even remembers?
Strange.
Because it was a fun memory? I'm sure there are others that were fun for the rest of us he'd rather forget- involving The World's Greatest, for example. Or maybe how he got the nickname "angry chihuahua"
Actually that was a riot too.
Quote:The funniest thing about the hot dog stand thread was they wouldn't just let it die out and fade away. They had too much false pride to do so. .gif "Laughing")

Strange.
Because he's running out of 80's New Wave and early 90's grunge bands to start threads about.

Talk about strange...,
you getting your panties in a wad over someone bringing up a hilarious thread from 5 or 6 years ago.
Oh and at least 2 other posters remember it on this thread so far, not 1. rj + nate.
Nice try though, Brian.

Actually I have tons more of them I could share.
I remember that thread. You're right Mad Dog, I would have pegged it at about 2008-ish.
We need to bring back some of the old board lexicon haha.

I don't recall the specifics but it sounds vaguely familiar. I thought the people in question were going to meet at the Modis building although it could have moved to a hot dog stand. Keyboard Rambos have always struck me as funny.
Quote:Oh.....it was hilarious...It developed into one of the classic threads of all time. It started out innocently enough, and then by somewhere in the middle of the thread, it escalated to a few posters were challenging each other to a fight that was supposed to take place at the hot dog stand. I even forget which posters it was.....but it was great because......it kept going on and on and getting post-poned because every time it would get close to the date it was supposed to actually go down, one of them would come up with excuses like having a schedule full of meetings that day, so they wouldn't be able to fight, but they'd always reschedule and continue at it on the thread. It was comedy gold!!!
I remember...that was an awesome afternoon. If I recall correctly, the poster was Leftwich4MVP and he was taking any & all comers to go to blows at the hotdog stand at the base of the Modis building.

Alfie???

Alfie would rather eat at the hot dog stand not get all sweaty in a altercation he'd loose anyway.

Yep, that sounds about right.

Touchy, touchy, aren't we? I guess some of the others' comments hit home.
I was just asking a question Howdy. Boy, you do fit the Doody profile.
Hilarious thread? Low humor threshold I guess.
Quote:That was gold! It was at the base of the modis building if I recall. I think it wa me, and a few other people, and their was one crazy who was being captain ultra violent. Or maybe it was someone else and I was at the hotdog cart in question at the time he said he was going to be there.
Yeah, that was a classic for me.
Then there was the time Bart Hubbuch (bent hubcap) was threatening to sue me in messages on the board because I pointed out he was a hack and had a bunch of stats flat out wrong.
Man....I've been here a LONG time!
I don't remember it, but I wouldnt be shocked if I was somehow involved in the thread. I cant imagine I'd be willing to fight at a hot dog stand though.
I remember it. It was circa 2008. I can picture the name of the guy but can't choke up the name. I do remember having a rather heated PM conversation with him and he wanted me to come over so we could compare our guns....... :blink:
I decided not to take him up on the offer. :no:

I think that's right. His avatar was a picture of Coughlin. I think you nailed it.
I remember it. Who knows, I may have been guilty...
