Thought I might just make a thread for people to introduce, re-introduce themselves. I expect most of us to be from the Cubs MB, but I am posting it on Facebook, so there might be some new faces.

Lifelong Cubs fan living in Iowa, married to a Cardinals fan, and raising 2 cubs fans. Beer lover and huge college football/basketball fan. Happy to have this board as it is a very refreshing change of pace from the cesspool that is the cubs "official" MB. Looking forward to the season.

Haha corndog, the Proboards software registration doesn't like Chrome for some reason. It would never send an activation and I used up my usual screen name CHorse14. No matter, I'm here. Just got back from traveling (ugh, 2 am here) and tried again.

I'm a lifelong Cubs fan (Since '83 when I was 6) from the south suburbs of Chicago. Married with twin boys who are coming up on 22 months. I'm a public school administrator and have been in the educational field for 16 years. Grew up with one parent who was a die hard Cubs fan and one a die hard Sox fan, so while the Cubbies are my true love, I'm not your typical WSox basher / hater.
I love Chicago sports having spent my entire life within the area. Very excited about a forum that clearly separates the Cubs talk from the rest of the typical religious / political drivel.

Glad to see Baez and BBuck have made the jump. Welcome! Thanks Baptist! I am fed up with the other board.. It's literally a cesspool of trolls now. Good to see a lot of the good posters over here!

Couldn't agree more Baez, plus there's some nice features with adding images / gifs / etc that aren't available on the Cubs MB.

I'm Mike, 34 years old and married with 2 pups (they are our kids for now). Cubs fan my entire life, born and raised on them despite moving 7 different times. Always had WGN and the Cubs to make me fee like I was back home, thankfully now have been back in Chicagoland for the last 13 years!

My name is Corey, I'm 33 years old from Fort Wayne, IN. Lived here all of my life, and I have been a Cubs fan most of my life. Don't have any kids and not married, but that might change in the not too distant future as I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years.
Glad everyone seems to like to forum and that a lot of good posters came here. I've had a love/hate relationship with the official board and honestly have looked for a reasonable replacement for a while with little to no success. The political/baseball sections being merged has really led to it's complete demise, on top of non-existent moderation. I just decided to see if I could set my own up for free and it wasn't too difficult. Hopefully we can get this board to grow and it becomes a solid alternative to the other board.
I am open to suggestions and if anyone here has experience running or working on these boards let me know. This is my first time running a board, so there might be some growing pains.

Corn,
Board has been a welcome addition for those who enjoy Cubs banter. Knowing that nonsense won't be tolerated or get in the way of good conversation and even having a little fun is terrific.
Thanks again and good luck on the relationship.
