seashell Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 CONGRATS! I am very happy to be a new member of this board and It's the best board out there for smart, intelligent and relevent conversation about Hockey and most importantly for me...the DEVILS. He's to many many more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I can't believe it has been 5 years either.... wow! I do remember how desperate we were to leave that pit of despair called NJO.... And I also remember how difficult it was to even run a baor dback then.... the power of PHP, the Internet and a bunch of truly great posters and we have one of the best boards of any kind on the net. Congrats to eveyone here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMONPETEYD Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 As an infrequent poster but an every day reader, i just wanted to say thank you to everyone who brings the news to this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyvegas Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks DM. PK and Crasher got me here. I was hanging around the old devilsnews for a while and PK gave me a swift kick and told me to get my ass over here. Good thing I listened.

redruM Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) 5 Years!!! Holy CRAP!! DM as I have said Many times you took my dream and truly made it heaven for thise of us who endured the nightmares of NJO ( i posted there for like 6 years Scarey as it might seem!!)... the breakdowns of Netwrok 54 and that other site that we were on for about 5 minuted before it went bankrupt!!! In all honesty i need to thank the guys over at the Flyer Fan Forum for convincing me to start my own board ( of course they only did it to get me of their board!!!), I hated NJO so much i had almost stopped posting there and was only posting at the flyer board!!! I realized I had to do something whne i got an email from olp congratulating me on the birth of my daughter, which i announced at the philly board NOT NJO..... While I donot post as much as i did int he old days this place is ny home on the internet!! I consider many of you to be my family and I;m happy to see some of the posters coming back again like M..... I just wish Madddog, Stardew, olp & Joe B would post more, they were a few of the origianls that made the jump th Net54 w/ me... Anyway DM thanks again... And please ask for help whenever you need it becuase if you burnout this place might disappear and that would be tragic!!! LONG LIVE NJdevs!!! yup, http://www.network54.com/Forum/56793/ Dm maybe you can post a link to the old board somewhere on here??

point Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks for a bit of relief during many long days and nights. I began with that NJonline board as well. What a relief when I heard about the 54 site. Time flies................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Thanks DM. PK and Crasher got me here. I was hanging around the old devilsnews for a while and PK gave me a swift kick and told me to get my ass over here. Good thing I listened. When my Stevens schtick didn't go ovet too well here I was sure DM was going to ask me to leave!! But thatnks to Zammode red came around ... Eldon was occasionally at the MSG board with me before I found Devils news!! I never found NJO if you had to log in or be member or any of that stuff I woudn't do it... until here I was hyper paranoid internet user. NOW?

bostondevil11 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 There was no sign up for the NJO. I didn't post much on there but read a lot of it. Before center ice (god I love CI) message boards were the only thing I really had to see how the devils were playing. Every year since I have become more fanatical.

M. Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Amazing when you think of it- we owe what we have here mostly to some frekish charachter named Isalander Sammy. 5 years here, time in 54, plus NJO- this counts as a long term relationship in my book. (just a little Red spelling in honor of the topic) Edited July 7, 2006 by M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elias2600 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Congrats!!! I wish I had come over from devils rule sooner. great forums here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) ISammy? No idea who that is. I remember those old boards but I never participated or visited very often. Never liked those message board formats. From the link I see PK was still making her "I miss Stevens" posts. EDIT: I bet ISammy didn't have this problem!

bostondevil11 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 HA Islander Sammy. God this just makes me realize how long I have been working at this company. Thankfully they blocked the NJO site a few years ago so I can't go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I can't believe I have been on here for over 3 years. I use to be on the crappy msg networks boards that were dead as dead could get until someone posted a link to here.

vadvlfan Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I am (we are) so fortunate to have this place to visit. I look forward to visiting & miss it when I'm away. Someday I 'd like to meet a few of you folks @ a game or something. Congrats anyway, and thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHofSec234 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ah, yes.....the hellish NJO, the infamous Network 54....what a long strange trip it has been. Here's to 5 more great years. Thanks to DM and all those who keep the place going. I know I'm not around as much as I used to be, but it is nice to have somewhere to go where I can just be me.

njdjlc Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Congrats on 5 years!! I can't believe that I have been coming here for almost 4 years. I don't post a lot but I visit at least once a day to get the latest news on the Devils. I live on Long Island and most of the people I know are Islander (semi-tolerable) or Ranger (worst of all) fans. So it is very cool to be able to have this site. Keep up the great work. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Succubus Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Yes, for those of us who don't live in the NJ area this board is fabulous. Thanks to all admins for your work on this grand site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
