Sherdog Origin story

Casual lurker for many years after following a link on a search engine.
There were some seriously funny buggers posting at that time so I hung around and lurked some more until I actually had a user name.
The funny buggers posting has diminished somewhat and overtaken by excessive trolls and just plain stupid people though you can still find the odd legitimate discussion and funny buggers from time to time.
 
Joined back in about 2004 initially, got banned by some trigger happy mod because apparently I was post whoring.
Created this account and lurked ever since.
 
Starting lurking in high school so sometime between 2001 and 2005. Didn’t make an account until 2009. Lost the credentials for that account but never really posted much anyway. Been bored lately so recently made this one.
 
Initially it was to comment about on hughes/bj if iirc
 
before looking into the forums i bought the double vhs pride 2000gp and return of the warriors. i signed up with the forum, under a different name (got banned for assfloss} just to look up gear reviews. found the mayberry lounge and the rest was history. i remember a kind of rivalry between this forum and mma underground, what was that about?
 
I basically got butthurt in the MMA thread of a football/soccer forum over douchebag Ubereem fans. I'd been lurking on Sherdog for a few months, but then the final straw came and I decided I needed to talk shit about Ubereem to a much wider audience of MMA fans

Ubereem sent me here to keep an eye on you and to wait for his instructions.

I’ve followed 65 of them but the next one is definitely the last. Sick of this shet.
 
Only sport i ever cared about was fighting.. eurosport showed k1 and pride.. been on and off with combat sports between 12 and 32 (i was never any good)..

Combat sports fans are rarer than polar bears in sweden so i basically need someone to talk to..
 
I lurked the heavies for a few years and then decided to finally create an account. Even then I didn't really post much the first couple of years. I have no idea when I started posted in the Mayberry or when it was even created.
 
Subfighter (anyone recall that site, was a great place) went down, I created account at that time as I still need my MMA forum fix, I had since forgot my OG account details so this is my second sherdog account
Loved Subfighter. I got the chance to train with Rich Franklin the summer before he fought Anderson for the first time. He was recovering from hand surgery from the Crow fight. One of the guys mentioned Sherdog and none of us had ever heard of it, but Rich had. He said it was known for a lot of fighter bashing and he had a thing about avoiding negative energy so he never went there. A couple of us made accounts.
 
I posted here as a guest untill I started doing BJJ in 2005 and made my first account. It's not banned or anything, I just lost access to the email it's routed to so can't get into it. Had this one for a while and being on here got me in with some big names in the sport and even got to go to Brazil in '07 paid for by one of those guys.

This is one of those places I'll keep coming to until they shut off the lights.
 
So after Jones was victorious on Saturday i had kinda realized that ive been following this sport for a long ass time and started remembering my origin story for joining Sherdog.

For those that don't know i started as a low key stocker on these forums way back in like 2009 maybe a little before..i had just started training at Randy Coutures gym here in Toronto canada and i found and use to come on sherdog ( the regular webpage) for one of my absolute favorite things to do following events which was to come find event fight pictures. I use to spend hours going through each fight shot..looking for the impact shots and big moments ..and then i found out about the forum and snooped topics and i never really joined and would just use sherdog for images and fighter records.. before the whole wikipedia stuff ..

Then i finally bite the bullet and joined in like 2012 i believe only to forget my credentials and i wasnt really a forum guy then so i didnt use it alot i dont even remember my original username lol..


Then i came back and never looked back...and oddly enough i dont look up fight pictures anymore...do people even do that anymore?


Whats your Sherdog Origin story??.
[/SPOILER]

I think you mean stalker?

I was brought here by a link to Crum Bum's "I got married last weekend" thread that almost broke the internet.
 
started lurking in 2003 . loved the picture and multimedia subforum. somehow it got closed to the public and ended up making an account after 10 years of lurking. i probably would not have made the acc if p&m was still open .
 
I was browsing history stuff on YouTube and stumbled upon the JRE, started listening to his podcast, followed him on instagram and thought this dude must be short
I Googled Joe Rogan height and 3 million pages of sherdog rogan height threads came up, I joined instantly to find out how tall Rogan was and share the memes









He is 5ft 2
 
I was a lurker for a few years, and then finally signed up. I think I got called a "tuf noob" because of my join date.
 
Saw the logo on the ring in the playstation K1 game.
That game was so much fun. I remember getting baked at my best buddy's house in high school and just going in, especially loved the instant replay of the finish. I would get so fired up, lol.
 
I've been lurking since UFC 1. Decided to make an account in 2010 fir shits n gigs.
