By my calculations, GMG is celebrating its fifth year sometime later in the Spring semester. (Maybe in May?)

As the only independent forum for the NT community to talk about NT news and sports, I think this is a pretty cool milestone.

In retrospect, what do you think were the most notable conversations and topics discussed?

How should we celebrate the anniversary?

GMG Casino night. With all proceeds going to MGC.

...or... stage a hostile take-over and turn GMG into a celebrity gossip site.

Stadium talks as it related to the golf course being turned into the Mean Green Village and the hiring of Todd Dodge are perhaps the most notable things to be mentioned on this site.

I thought the site was older then 5 years ... I remember it before we started using IPB ...

The "I like pizza..." thread.

Great idea!

It is...I started posting in late 2001 on the constantly-trolled old board. The IPB came in July 2002. Harry and Lo have done some amazing things here. Hard to believe I've known you suckers for 5 years.

The "Pizza" thread was truly magnificent. The "Mega-Dork" thread involving the Battle-Royal featuring Yoda, Neo, Gandalf, et al was good, too. I think those and others should be unlocked and bumped to give the new generation of GMG'ers a chance to participate in Greatness.

I know that there have been some changes and I only joined the boards later (ghosted a bit both before and after I joined :)). I'd rather go to the Tavern of the Green instead MGC. MGC is expensive and Tavern was where I used to watch those out of town football games when I couldn't drive.

Or, we could all hit one of the Basketball games to celebrate. Anybody up for that?

GMG.com morhped from Harry's MeanGreenReport.com. So initially this family is around 8 or 9 years old, right?

^^^^I don't know Firefightnrick, I guess it depends how far you go back and what you call GMG. I was going from my experience with this place as user driven forum (I started reading in fall '02) and the original membership dates that come (like yours) from the middle of 02.

Could Harry tell us? Should we be celebrating GMGX (the tenth anniversary)? When will I stop asking questions? Tune in same bat-time, same bat-channel for the answers...

The dates on user's accounts are off a certain time frame because they moved from a file based web bbs to a database backup. Users needed to re-enter their information into the database.

Before the file based BBS, there was Harry's board, but I don't know if you can count that ;)

We have been with our current hosting company since 2001... before that the record gets hazy, I could be wrong, but I think the first board I was on was from 1999... I know harry had an email newsletter out a looong time ago. You'll have to ask him about the actual dates on that.

It's time to go back to BEFORE THE BEGINNING! It was prehistoric times soon after Gore had invented the internet. It was the early days before registration and password were invented. It was the times when rival fans could trash your board and our fans would do the same to theirs. It was the days when Pottie threatened to 'POAT" continuously on the TCU board.

Speaking of Pottie, is he still stuck in some obscure UNLV message board room.

Here are the remnants of the original old MEAN GREEN MESSAGE BOARD.

It's where the legendary names like Harry, Stebo, NT80, FFRick, StandUp, Brad, George, Scottie, MoGreen, MeanRob, NM Green, and many others first got involved.

MEAN GREEN MESSAGE BOARD

It's where we all got adicted to this message board thing, and was in many ways the start of our current fan base.

Several years went by wondering who the hell many of these people were, and then the first Mean Green Summer Party on August 24, 1999 was officially the start of an actual fan club, the Mean Green Club. Thanks again Rob and Harry.

Wow, 10 years. That is a pretty significant milestone. We really should do something to celebrate.

Even though I haven't been a user all of those years, thats pretty impressive. I wonder what other boards can trace back that far.

Thanks for 10 years GMG!

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
