Biff, I couldn't agree more, but if you re-read my initial post, it was as friendly and non-confrontational as I know how. So my question to you would be why, when I come to say hi to the old crew, am I accused of half a dozen things within 20min? I merely intended to post once and say hi and off I go. This was your original post: Well hello there!
This certainly seems like the official re-incarnation of ROTJ proboards!
I'm not here to step on your turf, only to say hello and that if you are browsing more than one board I'd love to have you over at The JetStream from time to time.
I see ******* is at it again. Good luck with that. He and a couple of disturbed guys have made it a mission to completely obsess about every single thing I say or do. It would be flattering if it wasn't disturbing. He hates everything Chipman, Jets 2011, Darren Ford...he hates life outside his bedroom it seems.
The mods of this board will understand what it takes soon enough. That is the main reason I went to the Free Press, to be a part of a professionally moderated forum. (edit) As in there was too much burden on Hendrix and Vivian. Too much riff-raff.
I sincerely hope this board holds that crap at bay. A lot of old friends on here. Hope to see you at The JetSteam as well, and if not, please come say hi to me anytime in Section 218!
JetsOwner.com reached its goal and now my next goal of JakesTickets.com has been realized as well.
It is fantastic to just sit back and critique hockey games and get excited about them again.
Best of luck to all of you!
Sincerely, DarrenI have no issue with you saying hello, but you clearly posted because you had an axe to grind against a current JHF member. Why not let it go, and if the other person still holds a grudge, ignore it. You have a forum in Winnipeg's largest newspaper. people hold you with higher standards now. That's just the way it is...

DF, you have 3 Karma's in 7 posts. That could be a record! you could probably score 50 Karmas in an 82 post season. ;D

Thanks Jaf OMG, now someone thinks I'm an imposter. Yikes. Haha, some things just never change. You guys can email me anytime thejetstream@mts.net, I'd rather speak with you in private anyway. We should really have a ROTJ annual beer night! Maybe I can sell t-shirts so more conspiracy theories can get started. Sigh. You know, my get-rich-quick-but-put-thousands-of-dollars-on-my-credit-card-and-try-to-recoup-by-throwing-a-party-and-sell-shirts-and-if-there-is-some-left-over-then-I'll-put-it-towards-sending-kids-to-NHL-hockey-instead-of-pocketing-it-yet-still-get-accused-of-scamming-people-all-to-run-away-with-enough-money-to-MAYBE-fly-to-regina. Yes I'll be raising money for Jake's Tickets. Geez, what do you think United Way does? Or any charity? They need funds to keep their operation afloat. Some people are so dumb. But to get back to the topic, beers wold be fun. Lets keep the idea open.
See ya, or not, on The JetStream.....cheers

Can't we all just get along?
I've never met Darren in person, but I followed his webpage since 2003. He never claimed to be responsible for returning the Jets. Darren himself called his site a "hub of information." That's exactly what it was. For eight years, Jetsowner provided news pertaining to Winnipeg and the NHL, and gave Jetsowner readers insight into what our city's chances of regaining our team were. Despite the facts indicating that there was a very strong chance Winnipeg would regain a team in the NHL, there was a lot of negative people in this city bad mouthing Jetsowner followers (COUGH-Wheeler-COUGH-Hal-COUGH-They were the worst.)
It's beyond me why people want to rag on Darren for his work on Jetsowner. It was after all, just a website. But it was a very useful website to many people who wanted the latest scoop on the return of the Jets. Darren put EIGHT YEARS into his site, and that should be commended and not criticized.

That's just the way it is... lol this post just feels like FOX news...iunno..just making a bigger deal about it then it is...he just commented on how we are getting trolled and thats the reality of it... Good to hear from you DF, this forum misses the steady contributions from yourself and the MBMB

Everyone lighten up please.
I very much enjoyed my time at jetsowner.com and DF's updates along the way. I am grateful for that. I've said so from the beginning of this forum. I'm sure most of the members here from jetsowner.com agree.
Not everyone agrees on everything and that's fine. However, the Jets are back. As far as I'm concerned it's time to focus on the hockey and enjoy the upcoming season and put any petty grievances behind us. JHF is a discussion forum and NOT a club so there is no party line on what views members are required to have on ANYTHING as long as they are respectful of other members and follow the basic rules (more on that later): everyone is welcome if they do that.

Oh haha, it seems trolls are more common than regular members. Oh well.
I truly just wanted to say hi guys. Not plug stuff. Geez I don't need to do that. Just plain hi. I get frustrated by the trolls (freaks) as I am human. But 99% of time I just don't care.
I guess it's best I stay away, for whatever reason. People read far too much into everythin I say. I'm just a regular dude.
Go Jets Go!

I'm just a regular dude. Go Jets Go! Nope (I know you were joking but), the good members here outnumber the trolls by a large margin. I'm pretty sure nobody will read too much into anything you say as long as we're talking Winnipeg Jets so we'd love to have you come by and share your thoughts on the team. That's what we're all here for...as hard as it still is to believe some days!
