.NET will be celebrating its 30th anniversary. In internet years that’s like 200.

None of this would be possible without all the men and women that made this site what it was and is. The alumni (I love how my phone autocorrected to “aliens”), the new generation, and hell, even the knuckleheads both here and gone.

Met a lot of people, made a lot of friends over the years. I have countless incredible memories thanks to those of you I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in person.

My how time flies.

May .NET live forever!

I've been calling .NET my Seahawks home since moving to the deep south in the spring of 2000.(of course the arm of the PNW pulled me back) I've seen a lot of people come and go . A lot of fond memories. So thankful , even for the people I've disagreed with. I value your input and fandom.


Here's to another 30 !!

That means something as I'm almost exactly twice as old as you are young sir
Could mean i'm actually havin those side effects they always tell us to call our doctor about on tv too , even though most of us aren't doctors and shouldn't have any real reason to see those adds as we have zero clue how to care for the side effects of the 20 other things were on but ya know , BIG pharma said so
I'd start a list of those effects but way ,way ,way too many to list so of course as an old fart i'll just say , ahhh somebody else do it and get off my , sumthin sumthin
Congrats dot net
22 years for me and countin till i can't no more

I do a lot of lurking and little posting. I seem to remember Steve the King and some other dude always getting into it during the early 2000s. I can't believe I have been kicking my feet up here for so long. What a ride! Thanks to all of you who make this place happen.

I started posting on this site in I believe 1998 or 1999 and bought a “Got Galloway“ shirt from .Net around that time. Truth be told, I hated the Galloway pick when they made it as I wanted Warren Sapp, who was available at their pick. I also vividly remember posting early on that the Seahawks “have to draft Dwight Freeney if he falls to them. Come to think of it, the Galloway shirt seems to have shrunk since then and I’m wondering what the return policy is?

For me it's been about 20 years and I have many great memories from the site. Always a part of my day. I do miss some of the old characters like Pehawk and of course Les.
Here's to another 30!!

Wow, wasn't even thinking about it. I've been here since 2000 or so, don't remember exactly, but it's been a mostly fun ride. Can't imagine my life any more without my dot net fix every day, several times a day, even in the off season.

Party on!

Here and there
The dot net has always been my home away from home. Met many people on here who have been really good to me and just a hand full not so much. Just to put time in perspective my youngest when I started the net was about 6 years old, and just the one kid at the time. Since my beginning here at the net my youngest has given me two grandsons, two other kids were born and raised with one getting ready to go to college. The youngest in Jr. High. This place has truly been a great place to be over the years and I hope to enjoy many more.

Been here since 1998 (when it was Seahawks1998.com). Back then I was PatS because that's my actual name+initial, but in one of the hosting site changes it was deemed too short of a user name, so I became GeekHawk. I considered the name for like 1.0 seconds because I was trying to login, dammit! :p Back then I had season tix, but buying a house in 2000 that I couldn't really afford put the kibosh on that (and the meetups at Temple Billiards that I attended a few times).

Some of us are old enough that we’ll be shittin’ our pants again soon.
Maybe a few already are.

Happy B Day.

Never have been one to post much, but I have very much enjoyed the last 14 years of getting my fix from this site. I lurk more now since being retired gives me more down time, when not working the jungle.

Oh Yea....GO HAWKS

Best Seahawks site there is.

I’ve only been around 12 years or so.

I had another account but lost my phone and had no idea which of the 20 email accounts I seemingly had was the one to reset my credentials through.

I find better analysis, projections, and ‘light bulb’ moments right here at .net

Big shout out to Aros and all the mods. Top notch guys.

Much appreciated, gents. For everything - from being able to post with y'all, and to @AROS for bringing this place into the world. There's been a whole lot of fandom generated and cultivated by this little ol' forum.
