That cracked me up
What happened to them?
The NFL told them to scrap it. They now recommend using social media for fan interaction.
which is unfortunate, for us who like to talk football. Those comment sections are cesspools
That's why TexansTalk.com exists.
Well yea, I wonder how many other team fanbases didn't have a separate message board from the "official" message board
This place has really settled down over the past few years. I give all of the credit to the active members who set the tone. I do wonder if there will be an influx of fans coming from houstontexans.com deleted forum. I hope they read through the forum first and see what is expected.
We are getting a couple a day. If it weren't for social media we would be getting overrun right now. I think a lot of fans just want a place to be heard and vent. Most are doing that on FB and Twitter now.
Never thought I would say thank goodness for social media

Anyone willing to admit they owe an apology to the mods?

Gotta love Hulk75. Lmaoooooooo. Them the good ole days.
No, he was the Olineman. I don't know if Derek posted here.at the risk of being laughed-off this thread...isn't Hulk75 throwing for the Raiders? I've enjoyed this assumptions for years.
No. It’s Hookem Horns. InfantryCak is our “super moderator”.
Hey Hookem and everyone else... how about a little history as to how the admins/moderators got their jobs here? Let’s hear your story, y’all!!!

Thanks for approving me. I may not post much but I do enjoy all the informative posts by all the other posters.I started TexansTalk.com in 2003 as a message board and platform to write opinion pieces. The community grew pretty fast however for the most part remained a close-knit community of tailgaters (mainly Blue and Orange Lots). It was cool because we got to know each other personally at the tailgates.
As for my opinion pieces (which would now be called a blog), I just occasionally wrote off the cuff articles and some other members contributed. I never thought anyone was really reading it until one day when I wrote an article blasting John McClain. I basically hammered him for still supporting Bud Adams and the Titans. To make a long story short I received an email from John (which I thought was fake at first) and that led to me meeting him, Bud Adams, Bum Phillips, representing the Texans organization at the Texas Sports HOF in Waco, etc.
We had many posters that participated in both this board and the official one. A few years later Vinny approached me about needing a place to host the official board since the Texans gave it to him due to the NFL making them change it to another one. After thinking it over I offered to just make that TexansTalk.com and replace our old one with this official one. That decision wasn't too popular with some of the older TexansTalk.com members, however I felt it was the thing to do. I basically inherited the mods from the official board, however a couple were already mods here also. That was many years ago.
I'm just glad that they are good enough to where I don't have to mess with modding. I just approve new members and keep the technology up to date. They do the rest.

Glad you made it over, finally.2throwed281 from the other board. I was just posting during the gameday thread lately. Gonna miss that place. Guess I'll get my texan fix here now.
This place is great. I mean some of y’all suck but it could be worse hahaha JK JK. You can always find a place to talk football but here it’s become a family of sorts. I miss screwing around here during the day.
Some of us have even gone to MotoGP races together.It is a sort of family. Many have met. Many have a discussion outside. Jay and I talk and then bicker here.
I went by CloakNNNDagger at the very 1st Texans MB, then was invited to change over to Texans Talk by Hookem, Vinny, and InfantryCak.............have developed lots of friendships as a result.............all sorts of personalities, but after all is said and done, that's what makes this Board so great. McNair brought football back to Houston............and Texans Talk brought the best venue to discuss it. Thanks to Hookem and all those that have put so much into keeping things going.
