How old is GMG.com?

[greenminer]

I'm curious where the majority of this board is.

I’ll be 21 in just over 2 months. Would love to celebrate 21 with a bowl game.

We need to bump up the young fans.  Get their energy ideas and passion on board. I found the board while living in New Mexico in the 90s. It was like that first drink of water after being lost in the desert.

Thing is, let's be honest.  We can be hard on newcomers to this board.  A big part of that is that they will often post things that we've hashed out for years and don't want to talk about anymore.  We probably might ought could endeavor to improve on our welcoming newbies here.  

I'm indicting myself just as much as anybody here.

On that note: When I first posted here I started with -6 reputation for a single post. Yet look where I am now. 

Most young people don’t even know this board exists tbh.

40-59????

Thanks a million, Miner.

As you can see, I am having problems with the forties.

[TheColonyEagle]

If you would change one of the brackets to 30-40 and the other one to 41-59, I'll vote.....

[Mean Green 93-98]

It does make the results look skewed when two brackets cover 5 years each, the next covers 9, the next covers 19, and the last covers infinity.

At times, when in school, I felt like I was the only one on campus that knew about this wonderful website. I'm in the 24+ bracket as of today. 

[Stix]

I thought you were asking how long ago @Harry started GMG. ;)

You need to break that 40 - 59 into two brackets, and maybe even separate 60 - 69 and 70+.

21 and graduating this December.

From Central Texas, the idea of attending North Texas never occurred to me until the end of my junior year in high school. Now I'm incredibly happy about that choice and where I'm at/heading, and there is no collegiate team I root for more than the Motherf***ing Eagles!!

[greenminer]

I was just thinking about a few different groups: those probably in school, those recently removed, two different groups that are working (maybe it could have been 15/15), and those in/approaching retirement.

 

i posted this for two reasons, one already touched on above:

1) I speculated this board is not tapping into the younger crowd and is getting old.

2) I Notice when people assume they know what 18 year olds are thinking. Was curious how far removed from 18 years old posters might be

Was just having fun. Nothing scientific

If you want to know how old gmg.com is, I found it in 1995. Maybe it has been around for a little longer but those were the very early years of the internet, as invented by VP Gore.

Pretty sure Harry had an actual paper newsletter before the internet was a thing.   Rumors mention a series of carrier pigeons before that.

I found this board and the "other board" way back in early 2000's (2002ish I think)? I remember ordering a hat from FFR  that had the script on it. Couldn't find a decent hat without that god awful Blue & Orange NT symbol? I keep forgetting who the dumbass was that pushed that atrocity through?

I remember when you came on this board, soft spoken, polite.  I'm happy to see that your time in Denton has changed you for the better!

When I stumbled onto the board, they were selling gomeangreen.com t-shirts, as I recall, and there was a picture of a curvy brunette wearing one.

[Rudy]

I think the board is around 18, so it's legal now...

We need to do a gofundme or something then donate to the athletic dept in exchange to name something after the gmg.com. This could help raise awareness.

T-Shirt Cannon?

The GMG.com halftime sausage race. And no I’m not talking about frat boys running a shirtless 40yd dash. Dress up some fans in a sausage costume and have them run for a prize.
