    Nice. If it's who I think you're thinking from UF.N, then I'm gone the day he arrives. Not a good dude.....horrible, horrible temper.

    From my vantage point, it would appear that a t shirt is not particularly useful to you.

    Excellent. Somebody besides Diehard Ute can answer my rudimentary gymnastics/Red Rocks questions.

    It does indeed. Perhaps with all the new people, I will turn over a new leaf and make a run for the 2nd most loveable poster on the board. No way I can unseat HFN as the most loveable.

    But I like you and agree with your posts (because I usually can't really understand them and think you're doing good stuff). So you're good. Unlike SU, who has been on Double Secret Probation for years now.

    I'm not a UFN elite but I am left handed. I normally stick to UteNation, but i'd like a place to crash for my message board fix.

    After reading this thread, i'm not sure i'm smart enough for this group.

    That happened after H-Man and his beard (which are two distinct entities) were front and center on pics and videos after the 2010(?) Brandon Burton Block Party game vs byu. The ensuing Photoshop battles were epic and far reaching.

    Hopefully HMan saved some of those pics, because losing those might be one the greatest regrets of uf.n going away.

    If not I do. I was helpful in designing half of them. Truman Angels work was much better than mine though.

    It looked like there were cliques there but I agree, calling them "elites" is a bit too much.

    I was on UF.N for the bulk of it's existence. There was a group of frat boys that turned it into their own personal message board and scared away a lot of great posters, you probably remember. We referred to them as "elites" simply because it fed their ego and it was funny to watch them eat it up. Somebody called me an elite once on there and said I could get away with whatever I wanted so I tested it out. Not great results for me. After a while they died off and many good posters found their way back onto the site but it was already in disrepair. Chris ran it into the ground to his benefit and ultimate demise.
