I didn't post that often and may have misunderstood at the time, but wasn't Box of Rocks the NEM slaying alter-ego of one of the previously mentioned old school posters? I didn't know him, but their speaking style was the same.
I've posted infrequently, but date back to the original mod regime of UT, Hawg, Alice and the 4th one who flamed out and was banned. Was his name No Respect? He was a funny troll on the Panthers board during that Super Bowl and I recognized him right away when I came here. (I actually started trolling on Indystar & the Panthers board before I found my way here.)
I hadn't come to this board in 9 months or something and when I came back, No Respect had been fired from being a mod and was in his final week or two of going out in a ball of flames before being banned from the site. I'd be curious if anyone feels like sharing, what actually happened when he was a mod that ended up pissing everyone off so much, because I honestly missed it and have always wondered. He was witty and could be very funny, but something turned really ugly.
