I think you are a couple of years ahead of me. Honestly I couldn't tell you the exact year because I'm old and I don't remember what I did yesterday. I know it's over 20 years.

"toxicity" meaning we didn't use mod powers to create a personal echo chamber for them.

Sure seems this place is overall considerably less toxic after most of the people whining about people having the audacity to express football opinions on a forum built to discuss football up and left. I hope they're happy at their Discord. They wanted an echo chamber and they made themselves one. It worked out best for everyone.

Yeah I’d say we are very lenient on the side of free discussion on this site without getting heavy handed in the moderation.

At least 20 years myself here with my old account and this one. Been through many ups and downs on this board

I forgot about my old account. I switched my username after the crash. I'll have to see if it's still on here and how old it is.

I can’t even remember how long I’ve been here but I know it is well over 20 years as well.

I can vouch for that.

I remember migrating to this board I think from the official one?  My memory is foggy around it.  I remember the Panthers used to have an official board around the golden age of AOL.  They ended up shutting it down probably because they didn't want anything to do with people like us lol.

Was the huddle called something else, or was there an intermediate site in between official forums and the huddle?  I think I've had like 3-5 user names on this site because I'd make a new one to lurk every few years and forget the credentials/email associated with it.

It was called the Panthers Huddle before the team made Jeremy change it. I was a member years before that happened I know that for sure.

I came over from the old Scout Inc. site. Quite a few of us did. Not sure how many folks are still here from there now. It all kind of runs together in my head at this point and I can't really distinguish one from the other anymore it's been so long ago.

Maybe that's what it was.  That sounds familiar.

The Panthers did briefly have a forum for the fans on their site. Yeah, they probably got tired of getting clowned on for doing dumb poo and just shut it down. LOL

I think they didn't want to be associated with what people were posting.  People didn't hold back when posting online back then.  This is the prehistoric dial-up internet, where most things were anonymous and not viewed by many people.

I remember people arguing about going to war with Iraq after Sept 11 on the main forum lol.  I think that's why they were like alright you guys can post this poo somewhere else.
