Yup, I think splent is missing us.
-
Or maybe he just misses Porgger. Maybe we should bring back Progrer Week. I still have my avatar:

I forgot about that... I don't have my avatar anymore, at least not on hand. Thats awesome.
I'm a little nostalgic... There's something else I want to post but I want to wait a bit before I do it.
-
BTW if you know who originally posted that on dt.net/bb you get 3 points
-
Can someone give us a progger 411, or will us noobs be kept in the dark as usual.
-
Progger, more recently known as ScottofRedemption. This was a little before my time, so I can't be much more help than that. He's around my age and a nice guy but he got banned a couple times IIRC.
-
He was...grammatically challenged.
-
And liked to wear dresses.
-
Oh yeah, forgot that part. :lol
-
I could give you the entire lowdown on this.
Back on dreamtheater.net, BEFORE the current message board, they used to have another message board. There was one moderator active named borlag. Anyways, I used to hang out in the dt side message board a lot, in the chat thread, and bosk, hef, and a few others were there, and thats how I met them.
ANYWAYS, someone made a thread called "Mike Portnoy.... Jewish?" and it was extremely active and went nowhere. Then bosk posted a thread called John Myung... Asian? and I posted John Petrucci.... Guitarist? And we kept going, and the last one was Progger... can't spell? by bosk... with that exact thread. And then borlag locked all the threads and zeroed our post counts.
-
Wow, Borlag...I remember him. Crazy shit, I lurked for so damn long haha. I don't remember that instance, though I do remember Progger too. Good times. Sigh.
-
How long ago was this?
-
Does borlag still exist (on the forums, I mean)?

This was back in 2006 on .net
Does borlag still exist (on the forums, I mean)?
Apparently he's on here... but only lurks
-
Ahhh i love these DTF history nuggets....could eat them for lunch! AANom nom nom nom
-
There may be more I don't know lol
-
I was there, it must have been in 2004 or 2005. I remember everybody putting a picture of a peacock (progger's avatar) in their own avatars. Progger was unable to spell correctly most of the time.
-
I wish I was here for this guy.
-
Let's just say that Scott has come a long way.
-
teh porgger
-
I remember those threads, fun times.
-

-
Since we are being nostalgic...

Not that I am aware of. I brought him in ever so briefly as a mod, but he was banning people straight away for minor offenses, and when I told him he could not do that, he got angry and left in a huff.
:progger:

I have taken that mantle.

:lol :lol
great memories indeed.
-
The fact that zeroing post counts was always considered some sort of actual punishment is still baffling to me.
-
Some serious nostalgception going in here. An old thread revival detailing an even older event... Can't believe this thread is 4 years old. 2012 seems like a lifetime ago to me.
-
See it's threads like this that make me realize just how much of my life I've flushed away at this place.
-
Here and at .net.
I remember wanting to be a member of :uny:
-
I remember being on the old EZBoard in college and then seeing the fallouts after 9/11. I actually took a several month break from the EZBoard because of some of the things said back then after the attacks. It's been a long ride.

Borlag . . . Borlag . . .
did he used to have a site that listed all the known DT bootlegs with ratings/comments about sound quality etc?
