Hi all, for the record! ( and since I take great pride in the names I give the other boards---) It was I who came up with the "deadwood" title! It was 'designed' for Newt's board, which I got tired of calling 'the porno board' ( I think that one was mine or Lansings?) and because the personalities and whole town theme there reminded me of that HBO show! And for the record, I like old Newt! Just like to kid him about the rather colorful cast and focus he has populated that board with. The Deadwood II name must have been a variation of the original and I have no idea of its' origin?
Other nicknames?
'The other Parish' - koi vet of course, and still a favorite I take full and complete credit for naming! LOL It was so perfect for the time.
" the Knights of NI' - wish I had thought that one up! No, that credit goes to Luke the Impaler. Great sense of humor, very sick mind, that boy!
' The Roarkian site' - lets face it, the guy evokes nothing but respect. So
the nickname is perfect.
' Bito' - never heard another name for this site? I think of it as one of my top three. And also enjoy the magazine very much- cover to cover.
" Stephenville" - I think it reflects the ownership identity and is to be respected if for no other reason than the commercial aspect is way in the back seat-in fact not even in the picture! Truely privately funded with no ulterior motives in mind that I can see. The focus gets a little fuzzy because it is a very 'mixed' community board. But lively and most of the folks have a good appetite for learning ,albeit limited depth regarding the Japanese center of Nishikgoi culture.
All and all, there must be a board for everyone's taste and level in the hobby. JR
