Re: I never dreamed the site would turn out like this!!
 
why would anybody make up a story about being an originator of the site?

Its not like they have groupies. Like traffic reporters....

I believe him. In fact the name sounds familiar. Halo would tell us if it werent true.

The File on Rick Hernandez

I am a System Administrator now (unfortunately) living in Houston. I lived in New Orleans until 1993 when I moved to Baton Rouge. I presently administer a 55 node network for a seismic processing company. I have three kids with one on the way (God help me !!!!).

I attended Brother Martin and UNO while in New Orleans and had a short stint in the military.The first year the Saints had a winning record and went to the playoffs, I was in Germany. I came back in time to see the Saints in the earlier 1990's.

Motto: Any bug, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from a feature.

Favorite Saints memory: Watching Joe Montana run out of time at Candlestick as the Saints revenge an earlier 24-22 loss in the Dome in 1987.

Worst Saints memory: The 35-7 debacle at the hands of Pittsburgh that turned out to be the turning point of Jim Mora's career in New Orleans.

Well Rick... it good to see you were vindicated. I stand corrected.
Please accept my apology. Welcome back aboard.

And just for the record... I didn't invent that other site.

Dude, I am so with you on that.

Seems that one group of folks can do whatever they like over there without fear of consequence, but other use the wrong word to sarcastically refer to that week's opponent, and your mailbox fills up with "Infractions" and crap. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I was viciously personally attacked by another poster, reported it to moderators in order to not get all nasty in the public forum, and somehow I ended up getting banned in the process. Still can't quite understand it, and of course nobody would ever answer my e-mails on the matter.

Moderating staff over there is a bunch of skid mark stains.

I don't think I act much, if at all, differently over here as I did over there...and so far no trouble here. :confused:

I could not help but comment on this. I am reminded of the time when the Saints had just lost a heartbreaker and I tuned in to the Hap Glaudi show afterwards. I was dumbfounded when I heard them talking about LSU immediately after the Saints game. I was so PO'd that I had to call Hap and complain...and he agreed and urged everyone to talk about the Saints. It didn't help.

LB, when did Hap retire? I'm trying to remember if I ever heard him. I
think Buddy D. is as far back as I go.

When he retired, somewhere in the late 80's, it was permanent. He died of cancer. His show, for the record, was called Hap's Point After.

ok... but Buddy D was doing the show around '84, right?

Was Hap the 1st Point After guy for the Saints? Or maybe they had someone else in '67?

This is a great site, I agree. It's grown alot just in the time I've been here. It seemed like things slacked off for a while between like 2006 and 2008, but things are booming again now.

Great work by all of those involved.

the last straw for me was i said the words "bite me". i didnt direct it towards anyone on the forum either. i was talking about how my love for lsu and the saints are equal. and i said, if there's nething wrong with that, "bite me". and i got slammed with a 1 month bann. so i emailed nawlins109@yahoo.com, and told him how ridiculous it was. things escalated between me and him and i was banned permanently. but it was only for the better. i hate those sob's on SR. i dont dedicate my life to these forums, but i do like to see whats being said about the saints and other nfl news. and sometimes i let my voice be heard. SR mods didnt like my voice for some reason. oh well, they can all "BITE ME"

Re: I never dreamed the site would turn out like this!!
 
Im really surprised we dont have more growing pains. Those of you who remember the great avatar debate between me & Foreverfan. (...and I
was roundly defeated-- in an embarrassing landslide.)

I correctly predicted we were gonna see traffic here like never before because The Saints are winning & winning big. Also the attention to the Saints would also draw new people to Site-X, who would then see their daily drama, and puberty clique at work--- and quickly migrate over here.

So, here we are with about 100 names I've never seen before joining in the fun. Its good to see. I dont care who's "longsuffering," or who's "bandwagon," as new friends are still friends. And I dont care about post counts either, if that's ok for me to say. I've already seen good discussions with dudes who just joined up, and have apparently been rooting for a while.

There are so many of you guys new to the site, I cant keep up with you all now, so just a blanket BIG WELCOME to all of you. Lets celebrate the greatest season ever, in my favorite city in the world, with all our friends across the Gulf South!

GEAUX!
