Thanks to blubbla for starting this idea. Now, I think we should try to put him on the most hits list.

The LINK

LOL

awesome

kq76 · 05-05-2003, 11:55 PM

I take it Gload is a board member, or is he a running joke of some sort?

ill16ca · 05-05-2003, 11:58 PM

He's a baseball player, and one of the best ever.

Black Lightning · 05-06-2003, 12:39 AM

heh, well, good luck with that. I clicked him to do my part

Do a search for his name and you will be enlightened. Well, actually, brought down to our level is probably more apt.

kq76 · 05-06-2003, 12:59 AM

All I found out is JML was once very _very_ different.

JML · 05-06-2003, 02:34 AM

I just hit Gload.

kq, don't let it reflect poorly on me, please. It was a confusing time in my life and I may have done some things that I'm not particularly proud of.

It was pretty fun though.

LMAO!!

Carlton · 05-06-2003, 09:09 AM

oh crap I was born in Brooklyn too!

No wonder I never made the Majors

How come I am not an OOTP legend though?

spleen1015 · 05-06-2003, 09:20 AM

Wait a minute. JML, I thought it was your brother that did all of that stuff. Did I miss your coming out party or something?

blubbla · 05-06-2003, 10:12 AM

Beautiful...

Hit counter said 2975 prior to today, lets hope we can jack that up. Phil Rizzuto, who is at #200, has 60227 hits.

Ross Gload ate my guinea pig with fava beans. But I still love him anyway.

And a nice Chianti?

Gastric ReFlux · 05-06-2003, 11:20 AM

No, he's a cretin and had a 40 ounce bottle of Budweiser.

blubbla · 05-06-2003, 11:23 AM

hmmm...

JML · 05-06-2003, 11:30 AM

I just hit that **** again, but it still says 2975... 'sup widdat?

DWolf- I just saw your endorsement of Ross' page. Very nice. But I hope people aren't turned off by OOTP because Gload is a legend here.

blubbla · 05-06-2003, 11:39 AM

I got a feeling they only update the numbers once a day. We know we single-handedly have pushed Gload past 3000 by now.

Gastric ReFlux · 05-06-2003, 11:41 AM

Could the counter also track IP number? If it does that, it might only allow 1 hit per day per IP number.

Dwolfson20 · 05-06-2003, 11:43 AM

Or it's possible that reloading it doesn't register another hit for some reason. I do know that the number hasn't changed since last night.
