Great read.

quote:
In addition to countless threads in which college football coaches, players, fans and the news media are relentlessly mocked and satirized, there is one in which a seemingly naïve user posted a picture of his mother. Tiger Droppings users have since spent roughly a year and a half Photoshopping the woman into classic movie scenes, iconic works of art and, naturally, less savory situations.

The Fark board is the best forum on the Internet, IMO.

“What really drove a lot of traffic to the site was Saban being hired by Alabama,” Fiegel said about the Crimson Tide hiring Nick Saban, the former L.S.U. coach. “That led to a lot of their fans coming over to Tiger Droppings to gloat and rub it in that they’d stolen our old coach.”

While true, I would also argue that the other "Board which shall remain nameless" becoming a pay-site also had a lot to do with TD becoming the most popular sports message board on the internet.

Way to go, Chicken and Circus.

I'm glad that I joined in 2007 when the place became really popular

LSUFreek is a TD diamond, and I'm so glad I watched him evolve into the talent that represents LSU and TD.com so very well.

Congratulations, TigerDroppings

This has been one the worst weeks of my life due to a family death . Tons of family and friends for support , but still good to chill and get away from it all on TD . Thanks Bird

I remember "Brad's Brother" when this board first got started. He e-mailed me one time wanting to copy a post I had made on the Tiger's Lair.

Chicken, I too came here in 2007 to gloat over Saban coming to Bama after years of mediocrity. I soon became addicted to the no holes barred exchanges between posters and found it hard to leave. I am a paying member on other sites but find I spend more time reading here than any other site.I don't post often but wanted to applaud you for what you have created. Great job!
