Might be off topic, but I ventured over there out of nostalgia tonight. Apparently there is one dude in there named Bennie Thompson that uses the forum as some sort of bizarre echo chamber. I think roadgriller is in on the joke, but one can never be sure.

For someone like me that followed Colin (Mookie) from TotalCFL, it is a bit sad to see Ourbombers on its deathbed.

Sorry...the recent influx of 90's bands touring the city has got me on a nostalgia kick.

On topic...hmmm...Chris Jones is a dingus!

All things have their time, no exception for ob.com

loved that website growing up, started posting at like 12 years old! (24 now). Would be interesting to see some alumni come and join up at mbb...

nasty nate I know your lerkin,

Can remember debating with myself..... whether to stop lurking and mix it up with them rough tough fellas, or not.

lol

Well you got me... I went over just to check it out... it seems like Bennie Thompson literally the only poster.... I also can't tell if he's going for the Gerald Broflovski style trolling (as in, trying to get people riled up for fun) or if he's just clueless... entertaining none the less...

Have never even typed that address into my browser since the day I left....

It's a total ghost town. September 2016 is the last time a topic had double-digit replies. It's a shame, ob used to be my home-page.

They ruined any chance they had at keeping their posters when they brought in that awful Shankman character.

Two places I remember as a kid..

-ourbombers

-13thman

good times. 

all these "as a kid" or "when I was a kid" comments... I guess I'll have to say it then...

 

GET OFF MY LAWN!

That site would be perfect now, for Nate/Lyle/Bronco.    

He could fire up the ole robo-posting mode, and have inane, rambling,  and convoluted  discussions....with himself.

Digging through an old album, found a pic from just before Our Bombers was launched.  @17to85 which one are you, again?

^^ Lurch in the background with his back to the shot...

Grizzly looking fella in raccoon coat, wearing a straw boater and stinking of bathtub gin......

Oh, snap.....that was me!

I remember checking out OB during TC last year and the guy who makes up TC reports was posting there..., it was pretty awesome...

Colin is probably checking the site stats and going nuts - "we're at 5 Daily Average Users right now!!!"

Too bad what happened there.  Now, this about sums it up.

If I'd seen that earlier I'd be a billionaire now and would be hanging out with my buddies Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

But did any of you have one of those? Cuz I did. Even had disk drives and the expansion module. It was a hand me down from my brother when he bought his Heathkit PC clone.

 Nicely placed finger in that shot, kinda reminds me of how the Bomber management operated when I last posted there ...
