It seems like the site is getting some interest, so thanks to you who have joined. Just out of curiosity, how did you guys hear about fogpog? I've been trying to get the word out in many different ways. I saw somewhere that someone was referred here by redcheeks. Thank you redcheeks and anyone else who is helping to spread the word about the site. fogpog is for you guys the fans. Keep enjoying it. :)

I got an E-mail from someone affiliated with the MLB board. Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know who or how they got my E-mail address. :confused:
But i like this board so far. :D

Scuba - I saw your post on Cubs.com. This is a great start to a nice web site. I hope it grows quickly. As long as you keep the goofballs out, it will be fine. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We will make sure we keep all of those trolls out.
Now about the goofballs, some cubs fans are that, especially if they know nothing about baseball, and are new to the cubs fan scene.

I heard about it on a thread on the cubs message board, and thought I would try it, I have been trying to refer other cub fans to it. This is a great site!

thank u DLee25 for telling me about this website. It's simply the best. Even though I knew about it for about 3 months I never used it then I realized how much info and how much interaction with outher Cubs fans it had. I love this site.

Make sure everyone tells your fellow Cub fan friends and family about it! The numbers are growing every day and I can't imagine there being a Cub fan out there who is NOT excited about this season and wanting to talk about it (not to mention meet some prettty awesome fellow fans!) SPREAD THE WORD!

Mar 14th 2007, 12:35 am
Thanks for the welcome but I wouldn't expect to see a whole lot of me. I'm a big fan of NSBB, especially when you consider the media angle. As if the discussion isn't solid, their player interviews and minor league access is unmatched. When I heard Len mention the site on a broadcast I knew it couldn't be a bad place. I'm sure you guys have a great site here though.
scuba
Mar 14th 2007, 12:51 am
Welcome Ed and Mark. Although you sound like you have some ties to NSBB, Ed, I hope to see you more around here and look forward to chatting with you. Although fogpog is pretty new, Len knows about us as well and I'm hoping to set up an interview with him in the not too distant future. Welcome again and enjoy! :)
Mark Cubfan
Mar 14th 2007, 12:53 am
NSBB has a lot of Q & A sessions with players in the minor league system and minor league announcers who post on the board. Maybe you can do the same thing on the major league level.

Thanks for the thoughts, Mark. I hope to do that. Any thoughts or ideas on the subject are more than welcome. :)

Since this is an active forum tonight I'll go ahead and ask this here. Did Grant Johnson really say that stuff about Felix Pie in the minor league forum?

I would think so. Holy Cow had to do the Grant Johnson thing as a project for school.

Thought I would bump this as we have many more members now, but could always use more. Help spread the word. This team is rolling now, and it won't be hard to find people who want to talk about the hottest team in baseball. Let's see if we can get 10 members a week to sign up!

I'm bumping old threads because I haven't read a lot of these... I think that a main problem with people not finding this is that it's called fogpog, which I still have no idea what it means... if there was something in the name that said Cubs, Wrigley, anything like that, people would flock here...
