Hi,

I am a new member. I am Turkish, but a Sonics fan since early 90's (when I first figured out Detlef was playing for Sonics). To my luck, I now also live in Seattle.

Anyhow, I am following this board since Hedo joined Kings. I came back and forth a lot in being a member to this board, but I couldn't decide. I didn't want to come here and be marked as a Hedo fan, since obviously I am not a Kings fan (even though I like watching them). Eventually, I felt really good that I haven't done that after seeing all the heated discussions here after JJ came. Last year, I still didn't because even though Hedo was in SA the discussions were continuing. I remember reading several posts from taruky, two cents, even parso.

This year, it looks like things are all right. But now, suddenly my Sonics are doing well. I still feel kind of uncomfortable that some people may think that I come only because now Sonics are doing well. Maybe, I am just thinking too much into it.

As I said, I followed this board for a very long time. I read Brick's grading after every game. I know VF21 is a "she"
, and she has motherly love against Kings. I know Slim likes Seattle (at least for now) and Kingsgurl is actually an active member of the Bleacher Mob forum and came here from there. And Jeremy is still the admin, right?

I may not write very often, but it is definite that I will continue following this board.

It is all Finley's fault!

Welcome, gocmen! If you have been reading then you know that we love to have fans of other teams to converse with. Congrats on your Sonics, btw.

I am glad you finally have jumped in to post. You obviously know some of the important parts of our site. But, you forgot me. ;) :p

We're always ready to welcome another fan of the NBA, regardless of which team they root for.

Glad to have you finally join up.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Kingsgurl, I followed the Bleacher Mob board for a long time as well. It took me sometime to realize that Fireplug was a firefighter. I don't go there as often nowadays, but I liked the people over there as well. At one point Oray was starting the new day posts. Now, after having his baby, I don't think he can do that anymore as often :).

Slim, I remember you last year posting some positive posts about Sonics and this year in "Seattle not going away" thread. Maybe I got it wrong. I can make up to it by saying Schmoe is probably a Seahawks fan, or at least favors them :). Oh, I don't watch football by the way.

6th, I'd mention you, but you are already too famous around :p.
