This post by no means is to disrespect any individual or other fan forums following the Rams.

I have been following the Rams since 1978 when I was just a 5 year old boy throwing a football a few feet. About 12 years ago I noticed the Rams forum on the Rams website and started to post there. Thankfully, a few Ram fans ( Tabu, Sparky, Epi to name a few emailed me about another web site). I was hooked and quickly joined this fledgling website. I posted regularly for about 5 years forming some friendships. Then one day I realized there were more hate filled posts than support for the Rams. I took my ball and didn't post or check back for over 5 years.

The long time posters were hardened by seasons of losing and trolls on the website. It wasn't what I had left but hadn't returned to what it once was. I started to become cynical of other members I believed to be negative and looking to create strife amongst members. The site had become a cut and paste bonanza with few posts generated by the members. I started to question that openly and received negative comments publicly. I received multiple personal messages supporting my position but few on the thread.

Then it happened. Elvis a.k.a Mr. Motes sent me a message suggesting I check out this website. No fluff, no promises, no grand illusions, or comparisons. Just one simple statement, "The site encourages open discussion and supports the Rams no matter the location".

I am grateful that Elvis reached out to me. Walking away from the other website was well on its way. I miss it like an ex girlfriend I shared some great times with. Then I go and check it out and remember it just wasn't working out. I wish the site success and miss quite a few members. Hopefully, more will transition here for another perspective on the Rams and open discussion.

I post this to say thank you and express my gratitude for being welcomed by the members here.

Here here. Cheers Rambro !!

I remember the original site. My name there was RAMS. I was disappointed when it got shut down. I had already started posting at RRF as Hacksaw so that transition was made. When the official site started back up I came back as BatteringRam. Unfortunately the mods never came in and there was no promotion. Also Mozilla browsers found it difficult to login.
I have accounts at ROD and lurk at the original Herd and ClanRam too. I also occasionally lurk at the PD when I need a reminder of just how good this place is.

We are a group of mature like minded Rams fans. Many of us are from or are in LA. The greatest divider was the dual location fan base. That coupled with our disappointment the team was no longer here and that nagging sense that our iconic franchise just got cut down a few notches. StL fans were defensive in that regard and well, it was a recipe for disaster.

All in all, this site is a great fit with fabulous members. Cheers to all and,,
GO RAMS

Elvis has assembled a fine site with a great group

Some sites have to implement a system that may involve banning members who cause problems. That is not necessary here. Everyone is a quality poster who respects others. You don't see that on too many sites.

You wanna know the difference brown nosing and kissing ass? Depth perception.

[Hacksaw]

Careful because Elvis is always ready to kiss back.

or himself (seen here practicing)
