Hey everyone, glad to see some people make the jump. I look forward to posting on here, as well as reading some of your posts.
It's a shame on scout went down hill like it did. But I'm glad to see a core of posterthat were on the other site posting on here. Let's make this site the best it can be.

Hey everyone, some of you might remember me from Fanhome. Got the invite from Jeremy, figured I'd check it out!
Looking forward to talking Blue Jays!

Hi all!!!! First off I would like to concel my identity becuase I made alot of enemies on the Scout.com board. And I am now thankful for a new board where we don't have someone breathing down our necks. Also I was wondering who you guys thought was worse. ITD, TedLillyIsNasty, Adam101, Hudson4goldglove, or AndrewB?

Who cares? What's in the past is in the past. We're looking towards the future here.

a-HEM. No respect I tell ya, no respect at all.[/Dangerfield] Gotta say, it's hard not to wow me when you add functionality I've been crying for at the old board - namely karma/rep points and instant replies on the same page. Add to that all the old familiar names, and I'm well pleased. Only thing is - someone's going to have to explain how it is Joe got here 4 DAYS (or more) before I got an invite.....

Actually, the mods did okay, IMO, with what they had to work with. All the things that grieved you guys come from "corperate policy" - not mods-run-amuk.
BTW, someone invite risinghorizon. Anne needs company in the female set.

She has already been informed about this site, but I have no idea she will drop in.

Hey folks.
Seems like the Jays board is the busiest one of all at this new home! Got to be because of ITD and their bizarre behaviour. It's funny, I have never had a run-in with the mods or had any problems there, but was still getting really annoyed with the constant banning of words, closing of threads, negativity, etc., and hadn't been posting much lately.
I do enjoy a well-placed swear word every now and then.
I live in Toronto and have been a Jays fan since the early 80's, I can still remember listening to Tom and Jerry on the radio in the back of my dad's car, Joey McLaughlin warming in the pen. Still remember vividly those last 7 games of the season in 1987. Damn you Frank Tanana. And of course the 2 World Series wins, witnessing the first one live on the Jumbotron at SkyDome, then spilling out into the mayhem on the streets.
I think JP and Gibby are middle of the pack, maybe slightly higher. Not great, but not terrible. We do have a pretty good ballclub here, but with some significant holes. Seems like most of the good Jays board posters are already here.
Cheers and good karma to all.

I'm just really cool and people like me.... Plus I think you kinda announced your retirement on Fanhome anyway didn't you.

Just noticed the PM in my inbox, thought I'd join up.
Couple things though, the functionality of going between pages (which was mentioned before) is kind of awkward, and I'd like to know why my name got switched to lower case letters and if there's anyway I can fix that?
It's nice to see the mature group of posters here, the one thing that really bugged me with the scout board was all the constant JP bashing with no substance that was spammed into every thread. By all means bash JP if that's your perrogative, just please use justification and not just "JP sucks"
That's all for now

Thanks for coming.

I dunno why...but it's a proboards thing. But.... A - you can change your name to pretty much anything you want. Click on your name, Click on Modify Profile and then you can re-enter your name with the uppercase letters. Yes, you can even say "McGraw Hates JP" if you so desire B - We're only here temporarily. If you look around the place you'll find out that we're going to be moving.

I wanted to sign up as SpartacusII so badly, but I knew there was no way I'd be able to keep it up.
Anyway, glad to be here. Did I mention how much great content I have to offer for only $19.99 a month? Sign up now to reed our exclusiv interview with Adam Lindt! Oh how I'll miss those stickies.

The results of his "B" sample aren't in yet, so I can't say anything.

I think I was the mastermind behind the original invites.... I went with 85Jays, Kris, BroadwayJoe and MLBJB
For no real reason however, just kinda worked out that way

Not so much "retirement" as an astounding lack of spare time. The happy coincidence of that with my getting "fed up" with some things was shear hapenstance.
Still, nothing beats being cool and well-liked I guess....

No problem Q. I think we've got just about every single 'smart' poster from Scout. I can't think of anyone (off hand) that we're missing. It might be a great place to watch and groom new posters though... haha Invite them to the majors if they look promising. Thanks Broadway... That hurts

It's good to be back under the old handle again... I was originally JaysWildCard04 back in late 2003, then after a run in with the moderators on the Orioles forum, changed my name to Killtacular. Later on, I was banned by ITD (as many others were) without a warning. Came back shortly after as "cplex" (as I'm sure some people might have noticed) and now here I am.
I'm 20 years old and I live in west end Toronto. I'm a member of management for Cineplex Entertainment and I'm going to university next year for Business Admin.
It feels great to finally stick it to ITD doesn't it ?

I thought you were long gone from Scout.

Am I the only one who didn't realize cplex was Killtacular?
I used to be so good at that sort of thing ... I'm slipping badly.
Good to see you again, Kill. Or your old name, anyway, since I've been seeing you all along.
