There was a time when I was in college, where I really didn’t find the time to post more than a few times a week. I spent pretty much every minute of every day in class, in the gym, jogging outside, hanging out with friends/girlfriend, or playing sports.. and eating. I posted a few times before heading to bed, but I was usually so tired that I even skipper brushing my teeth. I don’t suppose everyone is that physically active during the day, but I can see how some people struggle to find time to post.

This is basically what happens to me most of the time. I finished my studies, but now I will start working...when I'll find some energy to post, I'll do it.

No idea how I found GL, I think it was maybe in 2010 or 2011. Made the account in 2012 after lurking for a bit and then when I went to post forgot my info. After some time off and some lurking, came back to post finally after maybe 2 or 3 years.

Only forum I've ever been active in. Its unique in the mix of people with completely different backgrounds and interests imo.

I joined the goal.com forum 2009 or 2011, can't remember which final it was but it was one of these Barca finals. I lurked before that and I was at a friends house watching the CL final when I decided to post myself. At first it was because of the memes but I enjoyed Nick's analytical posts and stuff too.

I was pretty young though, I'm 23 now. Basically became a addiction of mine to read this forum... lol.

I was active in some Naruto forum (swedish one) before that but GL is the one who stuck with me. Gotta say without RG this forum would be dead. He is the heart of GL. Needs more appreciation tbh.

Congrats on the 7 years GL. That's maybe why this forum isn't active anymore. Most of us grew up and doesn't have that energy we once had to post like we used to post.

Its happened to me twice. When I started in France, I had to adjust my classes and body clock etc. Now in Singapore, I am working 9-9pm. I can't post during matchdays because that's the only time I go out and CL is at 3am.

I do still lurk and post occasionally but I just don't have the time to continuously post, let alone follow my personal interests. I apologize letting scrubs like Firenze roam free in GL without any check.

I can understand how this lurking becomes a permanent absolution. Which is why most posters come back for an occasional post or so later when they do get time.

On topic, I think i've touched if not crossed 10 years in Goal.com and now GL. Its been great and I always look forward to reading everyone's posts. Thanks for being part of this journey.

Happy anniversary to this forum.

Closing on decade. Won't take long till it's here with how fast time is going.

Well done comrades

Next month marks the 10 year anniversary for me, as a registered member + an additional 6 months or so as a lurker. Coincidentally, it’s also my birthday. Never thought I’d stick around for this long. I really miss the original, Goal.com forums, though. This place was so busy, back then.

I joined back in 2009 on goal.com. Remembered the inspiration behind it to: it was a thread reading the likes Crimson, Black something, Halycon(sp), TA, Zealous expressing serious rage during the 2nd leg of the CDR where we lost the first leg 4-0 to Alcorcon.

The only forum I have ever ridiculously active on and would probably continue once RG doesn't sell it off to continue his gambling addiction.

I have been with this group of people for around 8 years now and what a journey it has been.. Truly never thought a forum would become part of my daily life like this. I lurk and post whenever I get time off.

There's 2 years left on Idrisozet's 10 year ban

Can't remember honestly, but there was a scuffle between him and RO

That guy has more intelligence in his little finger than you or your next 10 generations can ever have.

Happy 8th anniversary lads

it didn’t stop him from being a pussy though did it.

been here 7 years, not sure when the time has gone, feels like less than half of that

Lot of great members just disappearing into the all consuming black hole that is adulthood over the years which sucks but makes me grateful for all of the members still here keeping the place even a little active every day

Happy anniversary lads!!

I side with unique, intelligence means zilch if you come off as a stuck up shit, and RO always came off that way to me imo.

I never understood why anyone had a problem with RedO. He was a great poster, very intelligent, and honestly he was a pretty laid back character. Just because he didn't take shit and actually took his role as a moderator seriously doesn't mean he had anything up his ass.

Anyway, happy 8th

I like to think of Red as our conscience. Especially as a mod and then later an Admin, I have always considered him a fair guy. He's rarely vindictive (and even then, it took a lot to get him to that point) and I think he took his responsibility here with a sobering seriousness that is very admirable.

Being a member of dozens of subreddits and seeing how their moderators fare (ranging from uber-authoritarian in ways that made Red seem quite liberal to so laid back you could hardly call them a mod), I think we've struck a decent balance here over the last 8 years.

Thanks for sticking around on this journey with us, folks.

I agree with you about RedO, I think he was a fantastic mod

Its been 8 years? Oh man, I remember the goal.com memes and the great migration. The funny thing is, goal.com is no longer available in my country, it redirects to some BS website. Great to see the community still thriving. I will try to post more when i get time.

Also RedO and RG really great work keeping the community together

McLewis and BC are the best mods/admin. thats just my opinion though.

Is he still an admin?

the hardest part about being admin is not being bias to your mates on the forum and keeping things 100% fair. BC and McLewis seem to be 100% fair. 1 or 2 admin are not.
