Thank you for the shoutout Dames.

::Decides to forgive Dames for forgetting to mention me::

 

At first, I kinda thought the site would just be some small deal and the forums would be the thing people went here for, but that definitely has changed.

Happy Birthday TSM. Oh, and thanks for mentioning me and Zenk, Dames.

 

Yes, I realize this is my first post in about 27 years.

i appreciate the thanks Dames

 

Bravo to you too!

 

and bravo to all the people involved, its been great

It's certainly been an interesting ride. I wasn't around for the very inception of the site, but it was late May of last year when I came aboard, so I didn't miss much of it. The growth of the site has been tremendous: we've taken it from a forum with a bunch of nobodies writing on the front page to a very good independent website, with writers who have become respected for their knowledge and their skill at the craft.

 

Good job, Dames, and thanks for the m@d pr0pz, y0. B-)

It's been a fun 10 months for me and I hope it goes on for a long time. PARTY TIME! *funnels Captain Morgan to wipe out bad memories of RAW*

Has it really been a year? That's wild.

 

Dames should've mentioned specific posters. I realize that naming everyone is stupid, but naming the important members like myself and other guys I can't remember right now, would've been cool.

 

Just saying. ;)

I can not believe it has been a year since Dames took over the Smarts.

 

Dames, I have always maintained that you have one of the best moderating staffs I have ever seen at a board the size of yours. When I first heard about Dames taking over as the owner of the site I had my doubts. I did not think that a poster could run a board as large and diverse as the Smarts.

 

Oh, how I was wrong.

 

After some time passed, it finally dawned on me why Dames succeeded with the Smarts:

 

A former poster was running a board filled with posters where he was once one of them and he could relate to their problems and treat the posters with respect.

 

So Dames, congrats to you my friend on the Smarts being one year old as well as your tenure as the owner which I wish you the best of luck in.

Just for you Dames, the Spoonful of Velocity will be up sometime TOMORROW~!

 

Anyone else find it frightening that DrTom has supplied 1/8 of the work on the site, roughly?

Guest Kingpk

Tom's a government worker, he has (well, had) a lot of free time.

Guest Dmann2000

Yes thank you for the shoutout as well Dames.

I've linked the site in my AOL profile.

 

Here's to many more years or smarky goodness.

Oh I've seen Wrestlemaniacs begat Wrestleline begat Rantsylvania/nWWWo begat The Smarks begat the Smark Marks

Hey, why do you think the site's hit numbers have been steadily growing? (Because 7/8 of the work *isn't* yours, you pompous ass.) Quiet, you.

 

With my tenure on Smackdown! coming to a close at the end of this month, though, several people will be catching up to me. JHawk and Brandon are already close, so I imagine they'll surpass me before long. ::sniff, sniff:: Between the three of us, though, we've provided somewhere around 1/3 of the site's content, which is pretty dashed good.

 

At the risk of sounding biased, I think we have a damn good core of consistent contributors on the mainpage, and I'd stack our regular writers against those of any other wrestling/pop culture site out there.

Damn, it's been a year already? Boy does time sure fly.

 

Like everybody else has already said, congrats Dames(and I swear, I'll have a new article up in a day or two since Wallace Hell is officially over with for this semester!).

Happy Birthday The Smart Marks.

 

 

I present the Dames with one of Phantasio's masks.

 

 

 

Now let's dance.....

Guest Retro Rob

Shit, I'm up to about 80 columns now... It's gonna seem like I have no life like Tom. :P

 

On a more serious note, everyone involved with the site has done a tremendous job this year. I didn't think that the site would last even this long (or at least at the level of hits it is getting), but I'm glad that I was wrong.

 

I pretty much said everything else in my Confidential review.

Anyway, happy birthday TSM. You guys should get a Puro reviewer, and let me do the ROH. ;)

Damned right.

 

411?

 

Ha! Don't make me larf.

Guest Midnight Express83

TSM, happy birthday, and to think over a year ago Dames was just another poster who loved JLH. Now look at it, he is the fucking king of this place.

 

And the content is good.

Justin, we've tried to get puro reviewers before, but none of them have really worked out like we would have liked. And as for you doing the ROH, wouldn't that 411 EXCLUSIVITY~! clause sneak up and bite you in the hindquarters?

Guest Retro Rob

....well, that and JHawk's already committed to doing ROH for the site, if he ever gets his BUTT in gear.

 

Dames

I thought you were gonna do ROH.

Posted

I guess you didn't read JHawk's ROH review where he said he was taking over. After months of procrastinating on it, I decided to give it to him because he could crank it out faster...and could actually watch it. Long Story.

OMG BATTLE FOR ROH~!!!1!!111! BAN PLZ~!!1!!!!11!

 

Hey, if JHawk's going to do ROH, that's great.

Guest SweetNSexyDiva
Posted

JHawk rocks! Then again, I am biased because I have known him since... How long Jared? 1998?

 

BTW, Happy Birthday TSM! :)

Guest JHawk
Posted

1998 sounds about right, Diva! :-)

 

And expect ROH Road to the Title next week once things finally calm down on the home front a little bit.

Guest Kinetic

Man, if I'd known there was going to be such an anniversary lovefest I probably would have contributed more. But even though my scarce few articles have been largely ignored and forgotten, I'll always know in my heart that I was in on the ground floor of this deal. So congratulations to all of the writers more consistent and prolific than myself, who have really made this place successful to whatever degree that it's successful.

Guest TheGame2705

Dames is a cool guy and I have thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Tom and B-Teazy (Brandon Truitt) and this site. Finally a messageboard where people can have different opinions and they won't get kicked in the balls for it.

 

Happy Birthday TSM.
