Return to the Suns community 

Post#1 » by Suns_RoadRunner » Fri Apr 19, 2013 4:04 am

Hey guys, I've been a longtime lurker of this site for about 9 years and even posted here shortly during the 2009 offseason. I've enjoyed reading the forums from the days where SDU (anybody remember him??) and the Australian gang ruled the forums. Many posters have come and gone, but I'm glad to see we still have such a large Suns community.

Anyways, I just wanted to reintroduce myself as its been a while since I posted. I'm probably the biggest Suns fan in Missouri, as my family was originally from Arizona. I follow all Arizona sports passionately, but the Suns have always been my favorite. I plan to be really active poster this offseason, as I spend way too much time on the forums to be a simple bystander.

I've been a fan through the ups and downs, and this season was definitely one of the low points. However, I really believe the Suns are just where they need to be. Sadly, we had to rebuild after the Nash era but now we have some nice young players, draft picks, and most importantly cap space to build for the future.

Nice meeting you guys! Here's to an entertaining playoffs and awesome offseason! :D

What's up man!

Nice meeting you too! I think I was a bit after your time as a poster on this board, so great to meet you!

Haha, SDU, good times. We had a blast a few years ago. Not quite as much infighting, as I can remember.

Great to have you on board.

(pun intended).

Might not be the best time to say " hi", as this board is fllled with depression, furstration and pretty much abandonment.

But always happy to have a new poster to read from.

I don't post much if at all, but I may have to challenge you for the title of "biggest Suns fan in Missouri." ;-) At any rate, welcome back!

Still read the board every day but forgot my password/heaps busier at work/things seeming a little depressed around here with some narkyness just meant i either didnt have a lot to say or the time to say it :-(

Better fix that hey?

Miss the board from our winning days -- was really fun. I still read every now and then but have primarily taken my talents to Twitter. - Black Jesus 1 ;)

Good to see some of the old school fans again, realgm suns' board was a real fun place to hang around once upon a time.

That said, it isn't really surprising that most peeps are bitching now given the results. Hopefully we get a nice prospect to follow in the draft.

The wild Adelaide Nightlife must've been keeping you very very busy.
