Should the Chookpen Forum have immortals and who would you nominate???

[roosterproud]

End of 2011 IIRC I first joined in 2007 but it might have started in 2006 (paid version) 2008-2010 was the peak of it

There were two Walls, there was the original unpaid forum that started circa 2002 but I can't recall if that morphed in to the members wall or if that existed side by side.

In the dying days when the wall was closing and the masses migrated to the chookpen there was the melon forums and someone else started a forum as well, no idea what happened to those two.

Names I see here regularly that I recognise from The Wall: Andrew Walker, Rooster6, Thirteen, Big Poppa Pump, The Brain, horrie hastings (I think?) Danish, Hollus. Not sure about mickie lane, Red and mightyrooster but I think they were on there too. Others have different names these days.

There was also another set off old school message boards called the wide world of sports or something similar that started in the late 90s but all that message board stuff got shut down sometime around 2002.

I was a part of the wall days and was looking at when i got involved with it.

How goods an offseason circle jerk.

Even better was some actual footy today… Roosters first trial is Valentine’s Day, seems fitting for this thread.

Bring on the footy. Will there be a match day thread next Saturday? I’d welcome it. Can’t wait for the banter.

No need at all to have a Chookpen Immortal concept.

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Some of us are enjoying this trip down memory lane. I would suggest you steer clear of participating in the thread as it is clearly not for you.

As an admin you should do your job and relocate this thread to “ off footy chat “. Tell me how does this have anything to do with on field footy Mr Red?

Yes.

Lol..very sneaky there BBR.

That's what I thought too.

Fairly sure BUzz ROthfield was the handle 'Tries Off Kicks'

He was in here incessantly death riding the team and Smith in particular, who he hated with a vengence. Every single post was an anti Brian Smith tirade. Even after a semi-final win, TOK would comfortably turn it into an anti-Smith diatribe.

When Brian Smith left the coaching role, so too did TOK from the Chook Pen.

Anyway, my faves were all from 10 odd years ago or more. I don't know if its just me, but there was a lot of banter and good sense of humour back then that seems to be not quite the same these days.

Even Brain, who used to have his legendary player ratings post-game, these days just seems bitter and bored.

For my Immortals, every long term Moderator the Chook Pen has ever had is my nomination. They do a fair bit of free work, so they deserve it. I'm got the privilige of sitting here for free, shooting my mouth off thanks to them.

Who could forget Teabags Only Koreans.

Early days on the Chookpen for Batsey were rough as no one got my sick and twisted sense of humour. I'll often shake my head in disbelief with some of my behaviour in real life. Mates call me Batsey or Pest, always have since high school. My dads advice was you better learn how to fight with a mouth like yours.

I recall bagging Teddy (tongue in cheek) in my first week here on the Pen and I got pulverised! At that moment I'd realised that i found my tribe.

Just a rubbish thread, that’s all.

It’s just a bit of fun with some nostalgia and reminiscing. Though I would probably label a post or two as rubbish.
