Im new to your site because i use you as a back up site when my Finheaven goes down. Im an ex SuperMod over in Finheaven, My name is Colin & im from Aberdeen Scotland. So i hope there is no friction between us because there wont be any from me, but my heart still belongs to Finheaven...........
Does Finheaven actually go down enough to warrant a backup Miami Dolphins internet forum? Good lord. I don't remember issues like that when I was a crazy teen and used Finheaven before Muck banned me.
Yes it's been down all morning, just back up now & im waiting to see what went wrong. It's me that needs a backup cant get enough of my dolphins.........
There is no accounting for taste but you are welcome here anyway.You will notice the difference after a while.
Hey Roadrunner.... peace, and good to have you my friend. For the record, can you do me a favor? I paid my membership dues over there, and they cut me off completely 3 months later. I am honestly tempted to get a lawyer involved this time. I have had it. Probably not worth it for the 16 dollars or whatever it was, but that is indeed illegal practices...and not the first time. I am known by many names, but over there I am most recently "The Confessor". That being said, I will vouch for this guy folks. Top-Notch!!! Lots of insight, great great poster....I am even willing to overlook that he is an Arsenal fan... BTW: When I saw you had a "Backup site" I was expecting to see ladies behinds
my post wasn't intended to be mean to RoadRunner, just stating the facts about Finheaven. maybe "sucks" is too strong a term. I'm still a member there and periodically checkup on the website, but am usually disappointed. The few points of interesting discussion there are started by some of the members we have here, so no reason to spend much time there.
Welcome RR. No ill will towards you as a FH mod or towards the posters there. Just didn't like the way the sites split a few years ago.
Finheaven use to go down a lot, welcome to the site, you will see many here that use to be mods or administrators at the old FH. Most came here and helped make this the best Fins fan site on the web. I'm sure you will agree after spending some time here!
this. a lot of members there i miss, Gonzo, dday, ect. Have a alot of good memories their, creating FH survivor, time being a mod, but things change and i came here in the divorce. i hold no ill will towards the members over their, but I am proud of what this site has accomplished in its short time. We are only 6 years old, around that, and we have built a strong and loyal community over here. My one advise to FH is to get rid of those tacky thread icons above a post, ex: the and that says a lot coming from me, since well I created most of them.
Sorry to hear that. Sometimes **** just happens. Hopefully they can sort it out quick. Enjoy your stay. If you need anything, Lupe is roaming the halls with fresh towels and bar soap. =P - sent from my Android device via Tapatalk -
Welcome, brother. We take a lot of pride in having the best Dolphin site on the net. Muck and Celtkin run a classy show around here. Wonder sometimes how d-day and Gonzo are doing. In fact (little known fact) d-day gave me my screen name. Enjoy yourself here.
Colin is great people! Kenny you are good to go your VIP membership just expired. Hello to all hope all is well! I am here in peace.
Hah...I can't even remember what happened that led to the split. I just followed the posters that I liked ;p Did try to go back there recently....can login with my name...but can't post. Guess that was my reward for following the guys over here lol.
That sounds like a glich in your acct. Talk to Nubular over there. He is one of the only good guys left over there. He will straightened it out for you.
Brother Raul I hope you and the family are doing well. May we have a winning Dolphin season this year! John
I joined after the split so I don't much care, that's between the site owners. I'd hope after 5+ years it'd all be water under the bridge. As to your account, a lot of older accounts where idol after the server transfer but I cannot speak to your case directly, I haven't looked into it personally.
Thephins.com backs up nobody, you sound like your guilty for being here by saying your heart is there, if that's the case than why announce it?
Brother DJ I think Colin was giving you background on himself. He is a great brother. I hope that all Dolphin fans visit as many Dolphin sites as they can and enjoy them all. I wish nothing but the very best for all of the sites. We should be comfortable with our members that they can go and post where they choose and appreciate them for there membership and the time they choose to spend on the different sites. DJ I would do the same for you at Finheaven as I am for Colin here. I try to ensure that work that comes from the phins is properly given credit where it is due. It is all about peace and enjoying each other and our Dolphins. I wish you the very best bro. I hope all is well with you and your family. Take Care, John
My bad John, thanks for the kind words, same wishes back you and your family, miss ya round here..my apologizes to Roadrunner, I just took it the wrong way.
I'm always having problems with FH. That's how I found this site as well. FH is down right now as a matter of fact, at least for me. Anyhow, I love this site because it always works, even on game day (FH tends to get extremely slow on game day). I will say FH does have more active posts though.
We dont want to be the biggest site, we want to have the most quality posts/posters which we do have. And a belated welcome bud...
I also look at it this way too, ThePhins is 5 years old, In five years to be as active as we are is incredible. It is so hard to start an active message board so late in the game, where others has been established, and from day 1, thephins.com has been one of the best sites for your finformation! It has grown into a well respected Dolphin fan site! And like Matt said, its about quality or quantity! (Not saying FH is not quality just saying its not about the quantity) Its a big reason why we let guest view this site without forcing them to create an accounts, prevents dead accounts
I was done with FH when they pretty much demanded people pay...... It got real ugly, and exposed them for what they really are.....I happily got banned shortly thereafter......
Good luck venting on Finheaven after a tough loss or even during games. The site is slow and that's why I'm not posting there anymore after 10 years. Plus, any derragtory thread got shaded with a red background by the mods which is stupid like you can't read it just because it's highlighted red.
