Hope that didn't bring back too many bad memories, but you were certainly one of the people I was thinking of as I wrote it. ;) :)

Good memories of working with you. Still chuckle over the one girl who accused me of being a Fedfan.

You don't have to be a fan to acknowledge Fed as the GOAT though! :angel: :dodgy: :p :ras: :basiate

That was funny. :laydownlaughing And serves as a perfect example of my point concerning certain users thinking it's all about mods being against their favorite.

I believe "rabid" fedfan was the language she used. :cover

It's still a Wafa board. They are just silent right now for obvious reasons. Hopefully they'll remain silent for good (nothing personal!!)

It's a fan-base dependent prism, in my experience, as an admin/mod. The Roger fans think it's a Rafa board, the Rafa fans think it's a Roger board, the Djokovic fans think it's about everyone but Novak, the Serena fans think it's a Maria board, the Maria fans think it's a Serena board, etc.

If a mod tells a Federer fan to quit doing something, it's because we're pro-Rafa; if a mod tells a Rafa fan the same thing, it's because we're a bunch of Fed fans; if a mod tells a Novak fan to stop, we're Novak haters. Blah, blah, blah.

This pretty much explains everything.

Nehmeth, Riotbeard, Herios, Billie (though admittedly she doesn't grace us with her presence that often), Denisovic, and I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a couple, are pure Djokovic fans (can we count Fiero among them? Ha).

Darth, GSM, britbox, Front, Federberg, and again, I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a couple, are pure Federer fans (as well as pure whoever-Nadal-is-facing-on-the-day) fans. Can we count Fiero?

Kieran, Moxie, tented, Carol, A-P and myself are pure Rafa fans and again, I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple.

Now, I may have missed a few here and there that might tilt things ever so slightly in Nadal fans' favor as far as pure numbers go, but I think it's obvious the difference is quite small. So no, I really don't see how this is a "Nadal board" as far as fan-base goes because this would imply there's a significant Nadal majority, when there really isn't.
However, I'll say that much, this is a "Nadal board" in terms of discussion. These forums are dominated

by Nadal conversations, whether positive or negative so it makes it seem like he has the most fans and the most "dlslikers." I think this is just a result of the fact that Novak fans and Fed fans don't mind each other these days, but they don't get along with Rafa fans, and Rafa fans don't get along with anybody.

You forgot to add Fashionist and auto-pilot who are also a pure Rafa's fans, they are not posting for long time but I hope to see them again soon, I miss them, they were very good posters

auto-pilot is easily the worst poster in the history of the old and new forums. And that says a looooooooooooooooot.

Why auto-pilot was banned? I don't recall that he insulted to anyone and I see some posters around worse that him :rolleyes:

^ Of course you do. Any non-Rafa fan is worse than auto-pilot I'm sure :)

Auto-pilot (and whatever his previous account was called), mastoor, samson and Sampras_fan would formulate the official tennis.com/tennisfrontier hall of shame.

I'm kinda pissed that there's no Fed fan on that list. I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Kieran, help me out...

There is another one for the hall, whose name started like the name of a state...

SamprasFan was one for the ages. I used to love the back forth with him concert certain poster to still frequent the site.
