NSMB.com History Lesson

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

so....
most of the youngin's wont even have a clue what i am talking about but was anyone else here for the good ol' days of the FIRST nsmb.com board. before all the snazzy Vb graphics, before the blue and gray, even before this format was around.

i know cam was here, but most of the other mods weren't. the good days of curtis and gandalf duelling it out on the internet.

who else was around for the very first board??? i feel old now

[mudpuppy]

I was at least lurking.....anyone have screenshot of those days....ahhhhhh....memories.

[bullit_kid]

i remember a green sign in bb

[IFO]

IFO= old school....

i bought the VERY first peice of NSMB gear ever sold...

i got my Yellow NSMB hoodie from Cam @ the IDNS....

feels like so long ago now...:(

[GRIZZ]

i registered but that was when u could have the hotmail adresses.

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

i got you beat....i prolly got the FIRST original nsmb.com hoodie. i have cam's old one. we traded a few years ago a roach one for his one. i am guessing that must have been one of the first ever made

[Zaskar]

i was around if i remember correctly. either the first or at the very start of the 2nd.

what is this? the 4th?

[white ri0t]

undystain, undystain4ever, undystain the 3rd.....

[ShoreIH]

i wasnt actually posting on the boards...but i searched them.

[r3volution]

I was here but never posted. I was teh own on the Pinkbike forums back in the day:lol:

*runs away*:eek:

[michelin man]

i was YODA

[Rampager]

Anyone have any screenshots of wat the original forum was like?

[trail worker]

i was on the original boards..not from the very begining but i was on the first batch,I'm pretty sure i started as "jbw71" then i was "circus freak"(with the hardcore upper and lower case lettering:rolleyes: ), then i was "gumbi the green" then now "trail worker"

i remember days of undystain,gandalf2k,a few others...my minds drawing a blank right now...

[sAFETY]

present

[Trail Rider 1.0]

I was around, didn't post very much on the original board though. Those were definately the good ole days...

[jesuz]

oz jrtr!!! paf dvjppa nsnu!!!

[Gidget@nsmb.com]

old timers...yikes..it hasnt been that long has it?!

[Neo]

oldskool.

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

this was before you island boy....tho you were around from like the second i believe. sAFETY was here, ummm it was gandalf, then became gandalf2k.

where is diggler, he has been around for a bit as well.

cam when did the board very first come online??? i know i found it within the first month of it being around. there was less than 20 members at the time i think. and many were just alter egos of people testing the site

[shore king]

i have bee here sicne the begginig of grade 8 and i am finishing gr 10 now but i know it was up for awhile b4 that

[Lady Gravity]

i'm sure the people that were here since the begining have long since left - the content of the boards have pretty much deteriorated, sorry to say

i joined in fall of 2001, god i never laughed so much in my life

[sanrensho]

Family Jewels, VPSsucka: First school or second school?

That was around the time I discovered the board.

I have to disagree on that one. The board seems to allow for more intelligent discourse than it did a year and a half ago. And there seems to be more awareness regarding the NSMBA and trail maintenance.

On the other hand, the recent "My beef with the NS Ripper" thread was definitely one of the dumber threads I have seen on the Shore board.:eek:

[corey@nsmb.com]

I was here. I have the authentic clothing to prove it. I owe it all to Inshane for directing me to this fine website.

[H@gg@rd]

this is true, however, NBR used to be of a much higher calibre - does no one remember the weekly debate threads? most of the posters on nbr now are pretty much 18 and under - boys complaining about their gf's? come ON people, no wonder members have left.

there used to be some really funny shit on there, not girls airing their grievances with their boyfriend :rolleyes:

[RiDiCuLoUs]

wasnt there once a chat room!??? what happended to that, i got own3d on there!

[Mountain Dewd]

I think i started searcchin it in like 01 or 00 maybe , but i think it was the second version, never really posted though.

[Ipecac]

The 'cac was here... usually just lurking.

[Novice]

i has here, under a dif. name and never posted

i remember discoman, 2fitty, and when diggs was derek diggler,dont know how long ago that was though
and when there was only like 50 people registered.

[Craz]

I was around but posting before I had to register.

Agreed, NBR is often garbage...but back before the NBR forum was created, those threads would often end up on the main board.

[Gaffer]

i "think" i was there...

i definately remember the switch to the new bb

[Obi_Wan]

I have no idea when the first one started. I remember the one that you could post on without registering.
That was summer of 2001 I think. Back then I was 'Kevin'.

NSMB = probably 18... ( my best guess :???: )

Pinkbike = 10... literally.

[Putty]

i was there, somewhere.

[.glib]

I think I missed the first one, as I don't remember any other gandalf's than myself. I may have lurked though. I'm pretty sure I've been here since the 2nd.

[edit] Then again, I do remember the board where you didn't need to register... that was the first wasn't it?

[Gidget@nsmb.com]

if you wanted to know the average age, you could just do another poll (one of those age polls seems to appear every year or so)

[sAFETY]

It may just be my senility acting up, but as an old board guy I remember three boards. The first was shut down to make way for a 'new and improved' board, and the second was wiped for other reasons....

Can someone old, old school confirm this?

I'm not that old school, but that sounds right to me.

vBulletin was introduced to replace the old board. Then all the posts were wiped clean and the board structure was reorganized due to member abuse.

[atb]

i first joind in november 2001. but i didnt post much.

[white ri0t]

I can't believe no one has mentioned sid vicious. Or Dylan for the matter :mad:

[eeyun]

I don't know how long I've been around. I guess if I do the math, it's been since the middle of 2000 sometime. Sheesh, that's a long time.

[sAFETY]

I was gonna mention sid, or Jezus for that matter, but I figured it's best left alone.....

[Ginsy~Dj'er]

i was here for the second...lurking that is...with the good ol' orange colors. it doesnt seem that long that this board has been up. i dont think it has been a year and a hlaf since this new one came up/

[Ralph Wiggum]

i joined when i saw it on tv

I might have been on the origianl boards....I went by falldownboy in those days.

[Slamigo]

ha, I'm a newb.

I remember coming to the site and there was a page that said that the forums were down because members were too disrespectful towards each other.
I remember thinking 'who cares about a bulletin board, I just want to see the product reviews and the articles'. I figured it was just a bunch of nerds anyway...

I joined after they started up again though. There is a lot of information hidden in the pages. It's a good resource.

[counterpoint]

hoodlums were the rippers of the day and they got burned alot for just throwing up cheap stunts. Other than jeff, i don't think any of them ride anymore. I wrote one of the first reviews - for NWD 1. I also argued alot about progression. Look at the kids now and I think I am winning that argument...;) Rumour has it Romaniuk has something really big up his sleeve...

[Nelson]

What about hamburglar?

And who can forget The half page long Reggaeman Sig....

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

i remember dylan when he was FIRST on here, then the 3 bannings or whatever he got. proto and his dave watson incident, and the fact he wanted to beat me up:???: :???: :rolleyes:

um, there was the nsmb.com measuring stick that was pretty good, the whole issues about hucking vs flow

bender who could forget it

no nbr forum so it was all in the main lounge.

there was like 3 mods in total at the start

jeeez so much has happend

Ahhhhhh, the watson incedent. Oh man did that ever get blown out of proportion. What some people will do for attention. Yeah, I had people hating me here, sending kiddie pron spam. I am surprised no-one has mentioned the food network forums. I miss the debates of the old boards. I read some of the stuff people are writing today...and it seems like most are talking out their ass....its hard to read.

[GNARLY MAN]

anyone remember the "who pees in the shower " thread???

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

the food network forums thing was during the whole dylan fiasco the first time round i think. that was bloody hilarious, but at the same time a pain in the a$$ for the mods and cam.

i still think the dave watson vs proto incident was pretty funny

[spookymilk]

whatever happened to DiscoStu too?

[Revscene]

i wonder where disco and sucka are now...funny as hell, but they took it too far... then we had to start fresh... and we lost the 1-5 bike ratings!!!

It was my understanding that it wasn't to be discussed here.

this is pretty rough summary more of a coles notes, no one cares anymore what really happend so no jumping on me for it.

proto was a user on the board, dunno if he is lurking here under a different name now, he had his bike on the ground at whistler near the gondola. watson came down and went to hop over it, clipped his wheel, no damage or anything done to my recollection. big incident ensued, lots of internet talking smack, chairlift taggings that garbage. basically a whole lot of shit was made out of nothing and it was really stupid. there was a whole boycott simbrio thing that was started and that kinda crap.

thats about it. was more of a joke that some people took it that seriously

Stop making things up.
At first you even said it happened in the middle of a trail.
You brought it up this time.
Stop being an ass.

[sir HUCK-A-LOT]

it happend at the bottom of the mtn.....i never said it happend on the trail.

calm down, maybe the past was left undisturbed.


on a lighter note.....

anyone have the nsmb.com ruler that got made??? that thing was funny and i wanna see it again

This is exactly why I made that post. There have been a numer of times in the past where you have pissed off a lot of the board members with things you have said. Sometimes you have been clearly wrong and you haven't had the balls to step up and admit it. Now you want to come on here and play board police cop and give people the wagging finger for something they maybe should not have said. Give me a frickin break and take your hypocrisy somewhere else. You either need to play nice and apologize when needed or just be an asshole.

So tell me syncro.
Who owe's the apology?
And for what?
Since you have taken it upon yourself to speak for everyone I'm assuming you know everything that is going on.
Oh please enlighten me.

Hey bro, I'm not speaking for everyone and I didn't say that (I did say a lot of people tho) . I also do not claim to know everything that is going on. I will give you credit that you have made some insightful posts, but when you first started posting here (the 0_o identity anyway) you wrankled a lot of feathers. There were a few times where it would have been nice to see you saying sorry, or at least acknowledge that you pushed the envelope a bit too far. Because that did not happen I take issue with you criticizing other people for their actions.

Unless we are willing to acknowledge our own failures first, we have no place in chastizing others for their indiscrestions

Why? If some good can come from this discussion then that's a positive. Besides, I don't really think I'm on a soapbox, just telling it like it is and how I'm trying to live my life. I think you know that, remember how I stepped up when I offended you last year.

if you want to make a whole big deal and flip out about the past thats fine. but dont sit there and threaten me. the goddamn incident happend 3 years ago almost now and you still care enough about it to want to make a scene??? seriously....let it go. i could care less who was right you or dave, and frankly it doesn't even matter anymore. its done, over.

obviously you still have a bone to pick about it and thats your problem. i dont give a shit.

it was a funny incident in nsmb.com history and i thought it was worth mentioning. didn't realize people cared that much about old news or would get so worked up about it.

im not gonna say anything to your face because i dont have to. there is dick all point in it. what do you want to hear me say "you are right, please dont hurt me???"

this whole thing is a fucking mute point....let it go man. we all did stupid shit when we were younger. it was 3 fucking years ago. i did stupid shit 3 years ago as well. just look back and laugh. i have matured since then so i can laugh about it. if you cant look back and laugh, or haven't matured then thats not my problem.

have a :beer: on me man....

the past is done...dont worry about it

[.glib]

Proto, you've always seemed like a nice enough guy, except around this incident.

And now, anyone that comments on it "wasn't there", and therefore can't comment. Okay, so we're missing some key piece of data. However, it seems only a select few will be privy to this information.

All I know is what I read on the boards, which was apparently not the whole truth. Yet, with what we were given, I'm inclined to side against you. It looks like a small incident that was blown out of proportion, and you're still touchy about it today. If there was more to this thing that was told publicly before, perhaps you'd care to enlighten the rest of us?

Or maybe you'd rather just sit back and insult everyone for "not understanding". Kinda hard to understand when the only guy who "was there" is keeping his mouth shut eh?

You said you'd love to start up a thread about this now that it's calmed down a bit. I say go for it. I want to hear the full story and why, in your opinion, this isn't a small incident that was blown out of proportion.

God knows the board could use some good discussion.

Fair enough, but here we are reminiscing, and people talk about their opinions on the subject, which are apparently uneducated. It's obviously your choice to not talk about it if you want, but people are free to form their opinions on what limited knowledge they have (although until you know what you don't know, you don't have any idea how limited or not you may be... for all we know, the detail you're omitting could be that the Longhorn was serving Sleemans at half price that day).

Originally posted by 0_o

Well I thought about it, and came up with this: As I remember it, people got pissed off at you for blowing up at someone for a small incident. There was apparently more, but you don't want to shed light on that, so all we see/saw was someone blowing up at someone else over a minor thumping. Then people attack you for this seemingly over the top response, and recieve a seemingly over the top reply from you in return.

I mean... if the dude jerked it in your beer when you turned around or something, thats one thing. But all we see here is a whole lot of hellfire flying around a tire getting thumped. I have no doubt you have your reasons for what you did/said and what you're doing/saying now, but everyone here also has their reasons for thinking what they will as well. Without more information on what happened, I'm afraid everyone's right.

[0_o]

.glib,

I did not "blow up" over the incident.
I made one thread that was clear, concise, and free from vulgarity.
Lee Lau confirmed this on dropmachine.com and am hoping he will here too.
In fact, there were a lot of accusations thrown back at me that simply weren't true.
I can address them individually if the mods/admins will allow it.

Once again, in detail, what/who made you believe I wasn't a "nice guy"?

[LeeLau]

Oh what the heck - its better then TV. Here are some underlying facts and assumptions:

- i don't know proto at all in real life. All we've ever done is butt internet heads together.

- I vaguely know Dave Watson - he won't remember me.

- I wasn't there. All I'm observing is how proto explained himself and the reception he got back.

TO SUMMARIZE: Proto explained what happened in the Watson incident in a concise, factual manner and he was basically called a liar.

I would imagine he won't want to go through this same futile exercise again but its his call.

Here are now some comments on what i remember - don't make me go back and find that dropmachine thread.

1. In the threads where proto posted he was very careful to state the facts as he recalled them and to post what happened. I explicitly remember how factual he was in recounting the story. I remember that because I was putting my lawyer hat and thinking; "This would be a good witness",

2 proto then went on to explicitly note that what happened was, in his opinion, a matter of principle. I gathered that he was upset not so much at any damage to his bike or wheel but as to Watson's denial. THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION so apologies if I am putting words in his mouth.

3. I didn't really pay much attention to the nsmb thread but i vaguely recall that people who weren't there either explicitly or implicitly called him a liar. I remember that some of the dropmachine guys called proto a liar - there were some hilarious Ontario types there who behaved like they were Dave's soul-mates or something. I believe proto took some offence to being called a liar.

[.glib]

Maybe my memory is foggier than I thought.

I remember this:
Watson lands on rim/tire trying to hop over your bike at the base. You tell him to apologize, he rides away. You post this, some people say 'fuck watson', 'fuck sombrio' etc, then a bunch of others come back with 'fuck proto'. I thought I remembered you getting rather heated about the whole affair, and shit flying between you and board members and admins alike.

It was somewhat of a shitstorm, and you were at the center of it. Perhaps I gave you too much credit/blame for said shitstorm in my memory than you actually deserve.

The only reason I stepped into this was because there was some shit flung at people that I didn't think deserved it (mudpuppy for one). Although after re-reading, he did take a shot at you first, so I guess all's fair in love and NSMB.

Shit man, I take it back. I don't remember you well enough, or know you well enough now to call you a bad guy. Come riding.

[.glib]

Now on to more important matters: is that proto's ass we're all looking at in his avatar, or someone else's?

I casually mentioned to him that he had come up short and he should make sure next time that he could clear it.
He told me to "Go Fuck Myself".
I just turned around and continued talking to my friends who happened to be vistiting from Japan.
When I approached him after the day was done he outright denied his own identity. NSMB BB member Haggard was with me at the time. He can confirm this. I think Johnny Smoke may have been there too, but I can't tell for sure as he had his sunglasses on.

Originally posted by .glib

I put the words "Boycott Sombrio" as my sig. When the admins said it was "in bad taste" I made this one:

http://kissmyasspig.freehosting.net/images/sombrio_banner2.gif

When that offended the admins I removed it altogether.

Originally posted by .glib

It was with one admin I had the issue with. It should also be mentioned that the admin in question is/was also a sports agent who represents many of the local riders... Watson being one of them.

Originally posted by .glib

1) I did not spam the board.

2) I did not write one word of Grafiti at Whistler.

3) I did not 'shut down' the BB with a 'denial of service attack'. In fact I asked the admins for the ip/headers so I may assist NSMB in finding the person who did (if it really happened) and clearing my name. I was told "all information is property of NSMB and will not be shared". One admin went as far as posting a letter linked to the front page specifically naming me as the culprit. Only after I threatened him with legal action did he change the letter. On top of it...a 'denial of service attack' is considered a terrorist attack punishable under federal laws. Do you really think I'd be sitting here typing this if I had really done it? I'd be sitting in a jail cell. Just ask Mafiaboy.

I too might be having the same fogginess.....that is how I remember it...but as I said to proto in a PM....I am getting old and forgetting way more than I am comfortable with lately. lol

The so called "shot" was not aimed at proto...but at the situation, if it sounded like it was aimed only at him I am sorry. I re-read my post and I can see how it can be taken that way...it was not the best wording on my side.

Well, that should just about do it......I knew this day was comming and I hope that everyone can just let it go.....ride bikes, drink beer and have fun....then come on the board and talk shit......thats the life.

Welcome back man......:thepimp:

I never did think you had anything to do with a DoS attack. People just pointed the finger at the first person they could think of who had any idea of what a DoS attack was in the first place.

That helped clear up/refresh things in my mind.

While I'm not sure if I agree that boycotting sombrio for Watson's actions is right, I'm also not sure if it's right for someone to tell you that you can't publicly advertise your boycottation (if that isn't a word, it should be). You're boycotting them for a reason, and having it in a sig will make people ask WHY it's in your sig, which would let you explain your reasons. If it actually caused Sombrio any difficulty, they might take it up with NSMB. NSMB says that board members are allowed the same freedoms of speech that they would be anywhere else, with racism and bigotism being the only exceptions. Sombrio could then take it up with you, which could possible work things out nicely for everyone involved.

Enough typing for me...

Fighting for a matter of principle is always tricky as it is often very difficult to sway the other party to your way of thinking. Even if they do come around, it is normally begrudgingly. This is never satisfying as an arguement based on principle usually seeks a truthful and heartfelt response.

Personally, I've always found that those that are not willing to give a sincere apology on a matter of principle don't have any principles themselves. Same goes for those that don't understand the whole idea of principle too.

At the time of the incident I'm called a lair.

[Mic]

I took a peek in october 2000, i think, and shortly after that i went "full-time" member.
Yeah...the discussions were great.
It had something like a feeling of "the few", freeriding as it is today was even more a crazy idea only a handful of guys was doing, and now - big business. things change constantly, that's the only constant i guess.

and i really know what you mean by saying you feel like u r old, dude.

I can remember the day when you gave me advice on hucking and going big :D and how people were asking how to improve balance and overall bike handling abilities. with replies like "get out and ride" and the like.

I did not change my name, although i had a cool idea, something like "grandmaster crash". anyway, gotta go, some more learning to do :( no riding for today.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

What I do not understand is why when I thank some of the other members for shedding more light on this in a clear, non aggressive way you get angry again. In the PM's that we sent back and forth you wanted me to ask both lee and haggard what they saw, but when they do post the events as they saw them and I thank them for it, you make a post like this. Damned it you do, damned if you don’t I guess.

I am pretty sure I never called you a liar, but in all reality that was 2 years ago and sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my fingers. If I ever did I am sorry. That is not what I did not like about the situation, and I think you know that from our PM’s back and forth.

The way I see it is this was brought up within the context of nsmb history and then you pop in here with your back against the wall….at least that is how I see it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Don't leave over this one little thing, running away from it won't make it go away, it’s still going to be a part of nsmb history.....that will not change, but I think it would help if a lot of members heard it again, get the misconceptions out of the way, and I think that this thread has done that for some. I think you being back on the boards is great, too bad you feel that you are not welcome. I have apologized a few times for anything I might have said in the past and hoped that we could patch this up a bit, but not once have you ever tried to take back any of the name calling or bad feelings on your side, for that….I am truly sorry.
Goodbye proto, keep riding man…….and if we ever do meet…..you can kick my ass on the bike, and we can have some drinks afterwards.

Everytime someone brings it up I will be here to defend myself.
If you have a problem with it, the little blue button marked 'PM' is directly below this post.

Hope you're enjoying the road bike.
I've seen you around town riding it in your godaweful spandex.

All the best

I wasn't reffering to you, Shin, I was reffering to all the bitches that keep bitching like bitches. And there be plenty of them around as of late. I think they got beef and should be dealt with appropriatley. (http://lilasianbabee.fasthost.tv/yougotbeef.wmv)

I hope my legs were freshly shaved and my tushy as tight as you hoped :)

[mudpuppy]

Yeah, I am a big bitch. Sorry for rambling, I am really tired this week and the littlist (is that a word) shit is setting me off......sorry to anyone I pissed off.

Nat Bailey is the king of Olde School.

I remember him writing an awesome response to the "What is the gayest trail on the Shore" post.

Those were the days - and the days of Ah choo - who owes me about $800 and won't return my phone calls. Funny how things turn out isn't it?

Bring back Kona boy too - he was pure comedy only he didn't know it.

The board began sometime in 2000 but I can't remember when exactly. There have been many ups and downs along the way - it's certainly never been boring. Thanks for all the spice everyone.

We've actually butted e-heads together in the past on the old board which is why I'm so suprised by his statement.
Maybe it was sarcasm.

Actually we hit the ground running in May of 2000. If you check the trail tales archive there are articles from as far back as June 2000.

As a business we began in the fall of 1999.

Me and a buddy of mine were just finishing a ride on Cypress and were packing up our gear. You and some friends were just getting ready to head up. You laid a business card on me and said " I'm putting together a web site you should check it out " When i did half the site was still uinder construction:D I'm not sure when that was but it had to be early 2000. I've been hanging around ever since although I didn't register for the bb for quite a while... I did lurk though.


P.S. I still have the card... bright orange:D
