I've been here so long I forgot, but I think I was on an LSU listserv that morphed into this or something?

The story of how I joined TD is oft-printed in history books and frequently sung about around campfires, but for those who somehow never heard:

I was reading 225 Magazine when an article mentioned the Baton Rouge Rocks website (does that still exist?), which I'd never heard of. I surfed there awhile when somebody mentioned "this other site I go to". I clicked on the included link and the rest is frickIN' HISTORY.

I never intended to post on TD, but you can thank another poster -- unnamed, but one with karma -- who wrote something about Monty Python so completely bass-ackerds wrong that I simply had to register and correct him (I may be the only person whose first post was on the M/TV board). So now you know who you can thank for the daily opportunity to bask in my inimitable aura.

When I got back to my car from SECCG in 2003 there was a flyer or sticker on my car advertising the site. The other site I was using was going pay, so I jumped over here. Mainly a lurker here, but I'm on the site many times daily.

It was shortly after LSU football lost to Texas in the Cotton Bowl in 02(???). I was tired of the Yahoo sports message board. I googled and found this place. That was more than a decade ago....wow.

During the 2003 NC season I was lurking over at Tigerforums.com and they continually bitched about that "other LSU forum" so I figured I'd check it out. Everything, from the format to the diverse range of discussions was so much better than any forum I had been to up that point.

Ditto. Except it was 2007. They were bitchin' about how juvenile the posters were on a site called "Tiger Droppings". Of course, I had to go check it out and I don't think I ever went back to Tigerforums.

In the beginning there was Geaux.com, and it was on that LSU website that I adopted my current username sometime around 1994-1995. When Geaux.com ran out of people willing to pay to keep the site operating I migrated to Tigerroar.com for my fix of LSU info. When the owners of Tigerroar.com went members only to post I looked for another home. When they made it members only to read in 2003 I bailed and began reading the recently launched TigerDroppings.com. I lurked for several months when there might be just a few threads per day before registering and posting in Jan. 2004.

I had a Blogger group blog that I had created for my friends so that we could keep in touch after I moved to NYC. Even after I came back to Louisiana, I kept posting on it, and started posting Internet links to great LSU football games from the past. Eventually I saw that TigerDroppings was a great resource, and then signed up shortly thereafter.

I met a struggling college student at a gentleman's club. Took her home for the evening, and you can guess the rest...

I got this painful rash. I googled it, and found a thread on here asking about the same symptoms.

I rushed to the doctor to tell him of my AIDS diagnosis. He laughed a while, shot me in the arse with some penicillin, and told me about how I got trolled.

So I came back to hopefully return the favor some day.

I came here from the old Tiger Lair about the time it went subscription. I probably discovered it through Dandy Don, however.

Wasn't geaux.com a precursor to this site? I think I typed it in, the original was gone and this was in its place.

I seem to remember it being only the Rant and the OT...and possibly the More Sports Board.

Does anyone have any screenshots from Tigerdroppings past? Would love to relive the good ole days

Idiot friend of mine told me about it in the spring of 2005. I lurked for a couple of months and then became an idiot myself.
