With the benefit of hindsight, this virtual island of misfit toys was doomed from the start. We had nothing to keep us grounded. We started out and remained untethered to any underlying principal or mission other than our perpetual self amusement. It was not by any accident that "lunatics running the asylum" became our pictorial theme. And really, "Welcome, Dickheads!" (full disclosure - it made me giggle when I said it in my head). Who were we fooling? Did anyone really want other people to join us? This place was never meant for anyone other than the hampurites who where abandoned by JI. It was an internet life raft. But, you have to get off the life raft eventually, and we slowly, but surely, lost people. Some swam for shore. Others were thrown out of the raft. I enjoy seeing some familiar screen faces over at JN. It will never be as fun as this place once was. But life moves on. One thing that really amuses me is the reality that, ironically, there are lots of Dickheads over at JN, and they didn't even put up a banner welcoming them. This. And I'll agree with Warfist....JN is a great place for football talk, probably the best place to discuss Jets football on the web. But the hampur has the best people, it always has. No matter what's happened in the past, there will always be a special bond between this bunch of sarcastic knuckleheads cursed with rooting for the same godforsaken franchise who once accidentally typed the same combination of 1's and 0's to end up on the same message board to discuss Bombay movie shorts, bad Italian food recipes, how Kellen Clemens doesn't read defenses and who can take a powershot from me. I think we lost some good football dudes like yourself and Lith who started Jet related conversation. That’s the good thing about a brotherhood, make mistakes, forgive the past and move on. Welcome back.

Invite them. Or are we beneath them. Pretty sure they all know about this place and do think we are beneath them. I found all of them, except for the aforementioned Ham.. to be cool posters. There's a whole lot of residual JI bitterness that seems to have lingered and I guess this site, as un-JI like as it is..is associated with it? Of course it is im Ballbather you asshole

So, one dudes opinion, take it for it's exceedingly low value: I've posted here at various times since JI died because of the people here, the ex-Hampurites, the guys I hold in fond memory and respect. Guys like Jetworks. I never posted here because of football. I only ever visited the Hampur section. I think I have what, like 5 posts in the actual football section and none anywhere else. It was always the Hampur here, the PEOPLE here I missed. No offense, if I want football talk, it's just alot better at JN. If this site existed for football and I didn't know any of you or have fond JI memories of you all.....I'd not spend a second here. Sorry. As to Max's limits of some topics keep the focus on football, and I think thats the right choice for JN......despite my occasional attempt to push that boundary, lol. Crusher for example is as good a dude as you could possibly want as a Mod (comparing him to Ham? Lol!) but he's does what a good Mod does, he's non confrontational, doesn't get bogged down in personal shit, and he follows the site owners rules. So some topics get locked, we all get it it, we all move on. JN really isn't about the good bants. As for me, I stopped posting here (but I still read the Hampur section it on and off pretty regularly) around the time Stokes came back from the nethers. He and me, yeah, just not people who would associate in any realm I think. His return quickly devolved into me not enjoying the "good bants" here anymore. Same goes for Shakin. The bants weren't good bants, they felt like shitty bitter not-so-veiled dislike bants, and no one needs shitty bants in their lives. And I think I was taking the bants too seriously so it was time to go. Plus I get more than enough of that on the one non-Jets forum I partake of regularly, lol. So I ditched out. Honestly, I wasn't missed, so I think it's all good! Lets be honest, I was always barely-fringe Hampur Crew anyway I think. So today I waste my hours obsessing at JN over the Jets, like JI back in the day, and spend little to no time at JN on making friends, telling/reading funny stories or all the great hampur-style off-topic fun posting of days long past. As I said to Jetworks a little while back, I have nothing but respect for what you guys did here after JI died. You kept the folks together, and that's damn admirable. But I think if this place were to go away, I'd love to see you all on JN, but I think many of you would find it far too limiting and not enjoy it. So yeah, a longwinded, overly serious post in a thread almost assuredly not intended for any kind of serious talk of any kind, but hey, that's why no one missed Warfish anyway amiright? Lol! Love to you all, truly. I read all this and agree totally i been saying for over a decade what a fucking asshole stokes is. Everyone thinks im joking when i say i see him im kicking his fucking ass. Im not kidding

I been posting back on JI. I like going there for football talk. This place is like talking to meth heads in a holding cell. Fun for awhile until they start to withdraw

There is no way I would have ever stuck around on JI if it wasn’t for the Hampur. The land of mosfit toys is a perfect description. A lot of laughs, a lot of idiocy and even dome semi-intelligent conversation. So I was glad when many of us ended up here. But this place was probably always doomed to fail. If this place finally shits the proverbial bed, I hope most of us end up in some other shithole so it will be bearable. And Warfist, you were ok in my book. Why is everyone saying this place is doomed to fail or when it fails. Hey heres an inside tip fuckheads. This place was started as a failure we lost asdesnse 1 year in. Its fail proof. Trust me i keep going away hoping it will disappear and here it is. Its a nightmare it wont die its taken on a life of its own. It sends me emails and shit and i unsubscribed years ago. Im not fucking joking. How it still operates is beyond me. Ive done nothing since year 2. It's why i just pop up sometimes fucking email alets from this fking board demanding i fix something i come here to try and unsubscribe again and it says you already are unsubscribed...then i end up fixing whatever the fuck it was bitching about in emails. Then i wind up responding to fucking threads. Im sure ill be on everyday again in season. Im just letting some of you know. There is no fail here. There is no way out. This place is like the shining . Perhaps Jack's photo in the banner conjured up some weird shit
