I always got the sense that there was a core group, all mostly friends, who had been around since the board started and then kind of drifted away as the number of members grew. Then there was the Arkansas invasion, led by Arkansan, after Matt Jones was drafted (Jonesy was one of them) and then an influx of "kids" who have grown up to become good posters or have disappeared.

Through it all was FBT, the straw that stirred the drink, the Reggie Jackson of his time, our entrant to the Mount Rushmore (along with Dakota who did more than most know to hold this together) of Mods.

I don't remember my original sign up date, maybe 2005-2006, it was shortly after I moved back to Jacksonville after my ex retired from the Army which was 2004. I remember every single name and person you mentioned. I remember going to tailgates and minicamps and such. Madhatter was a cool dude and me and my dad used to sit next to Arrowman at the games. Jags&Dawgs was fun to read even if I didn't always agree with him. JIB remembers meeting me at a Jags function at a restaurant (with the group that shall not be named.) I remember that day and vaguely remember sitting with him and his wife and chatting. 

Man....those are some long ago memories but good ones.
