Good to see you Mufu! Stick around, it will take time but I think over the coming months we'll get more returnees showing up and we are getting more than a few folks with unfamiliar names who are "lurking" but no posting...yet.🤞🙂

Of course most of us expect a fair number of new, or newly "active" of commanders fans in the new era under the new regime.

Man am I glad to see you folks. Strangely emotional reading through this thread. None of the other replacements have felt like home over the past months, I hope to continue to see things grow here. Finally found SIP, KB and some others talking draft over at one of the alternatives but it still didn’t feel fully right…

We’ll see if I get back into my obsessive posting habit after many months spent breaking it…it’s coincided with a real uptick in how busy my life has been but man was it empty enjoying this playoff run without you all. A real Gift of the Magi situation.

Our wildest dreams finally started coming true and our home was snatched away in devastating fashion. I was in mourning for months before I even tried any of the alternatives, ES was really huge in my personal story.

Glad to see you lovable dummies again, and glad to see things slowly organize into something recognizable. Thank you to those who dug and poured the foundation while many of us were in shock.

Hail!

Hey all,

I was mostly active only in the Tailgate but its so exciting to see ES come back together in a new place (I was at ~400 football-related posts so I wasn't exactly a slouch either :D). Between the Bears miracle and the election, ES could not have gone down at a worse time. It took me 2-3 months to stop habitually browsing to the ES URL on my computer, but I'm excited to be home again. I'm not super active on social media, so this and Reditt is everything when it comes to time-sinks on the internet.

Welcome to the new digs @SweetAmnesia672 🙂👍

We're in the early stages here but slowly adding old and new Commander/ES addicts. 😁

And you made it one week before the draft. Sounds like you might be a Bears fan and they should have a much better season ahead.

Hey, what was your ES name (if you don't mind telling)? 🙂

LOL, no-- I'm definitely a lifelong Commanders/Redskins fan since my 7-year-old self saw John Elway's smug face on the sidelines with a 10-0 lead in Super Bowl XXII :D

I grew up in the DMV area and have been in Chicago for ~15 years.

Looks pretty familiar around here, good to see some old faces haven't heard from in a while.

ES'ers are like those long term survivors from The Walking Dead and its spin offs. We keep refusing to die. Shit gos to hell, we lose a community, but then some of us regroup and form another community, even adding newcomers.💀😁
