Sweet. By the way, has anyone invited Allenmurray?

I did, though not sure he got the invite.

I exchanged emails today with Woot, and both he and his son, Hancock4Duke, are expected to register!

For those that don't know, and Tilly, you better brace yourself for this, Woot WAS the Blue Devil back in 1973 and 1974. We played Club Football together.

That's awesome. He was the one I knew when I first came into Blue Devil awareness, I loved his costume and antics. I would have been 4-5 years old.

I've invited him to stop by our Brunchgate tent when he comes to games, and he says he'll be there!

Hopefully I won't have to take the route that McGrupp did with BTD (verifying new members via email), but these "members" are in actuality spammers. I don't know what the point of their existence is exactly, or how it benefits them, but I will be deleting them as they come in.

Oh man that sucks.

I resisted for a long time going to the manual approval. We actually had a couple human spammers come along (people who registered solely to promote a commercial product, but who were actual real people) and we got into some fun conversations with them.

The day straight-up porn photos started popping up ON THE BOARD was the day I decided we need to go to manual approval. Never gone back since. It's not really that hard for real people to register. It's absolutely incredible how many spambots try to get through. I delete hundreds at a time.

For some guys, that'd probably be a selling point! Celebrate Duke basketball WHILE staring at porn? Dream come true... ;) Definitely NSFW though.

Insert lighthearted dig at Shammrog here.

Oops - I had no intention of being rude (taking so long to respond), just working a crazy schedule. Clearly I haven't worked hard enough on developing a crazietalk habit yet...
Hi, Sue! We did get to hang out some with Miles and I'm thrilled to have him on our coast now. He promised to come to some games with us this year and that means we might have to join the Brunchgate group if you'll have us. I can bring pound cake...

I guess you could look at it that way. I was counting "backwards" from his name on the DBR.
