I will have to register, but it's archived, so I don't think the admin accepts any new accounts, but I could be mistaken.

**edit** I just registered for the first time, and wow! So many memories. Tried going through some posts from 2011, but it would take days to read, and that is just the last month. I went back to the early days (2005) and it brought a tear to my eye. Wow back then we really were dreamers!

Thanks for providing the link. I think a lot of us were previously looking for the old link at JetsOwner.com which no longer exists. It's great to see all the old posts again!

I can't believe I still remember my old Pasword...awesome to see that old site...I didn't post all that much, I was Bettman***** (can't say my user name on HF :)) but I was on the site as my religion.. lots of fantastic information there back in the day that you simply couldn't get from The Media or anywhere else...

Thanks for this. This was a great trip down memory lane for me.

If anyone wants to walk down the jetsowner.com main board memory lane they can use the internet time machine / wayback machine:


https://web.archive.org/web/20120328062433/http://www.jetsowner.com:80/


You can check out snapshots of the website at various points in history. The original site as it appeared in 2003 is there - and I mean the original 'beer for breakfast' version.


I think I spent more time on that website/forum back in the day than I do on JHF and HF these days.

BTW I've seen several references to the legendary "Simpsons thread" on the Jetsowner forum. Can someone bang off the link? It was before my time methinks...

That was awesome! Thanks for providing another great link to the past. I really enjoyed seeing the site as it originally looked back when we were following the quest for the return of the Jets. It's hard to believe how long the JetsOwner.com website was active from beginning to end. On the one hand it seems so long ago as we are soon about to enter the Jets 7th season and yet on the other hand it also feels like yesterday that we were checking out the site on a daily basis waiting for the Jet-O-Meter to move up a few notches. Thanks again for providing the link. Much appreciated! :thumbu:

Jason Blackthorne always wanted Chipman and the Manitoba Moose run out of town. I picture a guy who was in and out of psych wards. He thought the Moose were blocking the return of the NHL.

Be funny if he has kids now and can only afford a Moose pack of tickets.

Wonder what the Moose attendance is going to be like in 2017-18. Looking fwd to seeing more prospects.

I really need to get my sleeping patterns adjusted. I can't find that damn Simpsons thread. However I did comes across the threads that got Blackthorne banned...lol. Wow. I decided not to post them as it was pretty negative, but it's really cool to see how the forum started off with such a core group of dedicated members, and by mid 2007, was starting to grow, then pretty much exploded for the final couple of years.

Where are the BT ban threads? I missed out on that...

Long time lurker on here, first time poster. I was on Jets Owner since the beginning and absolutely loved to stir things up with that kid. He would send me dozens and dozens of angry PM's that I would screenshot and post to Jets Owner, and it would turn him into an absolute lunatic. Good times!

Literal lols. Thx for the links (and the PM'd ones).



Still looking for that Simpsons thread. I'm starting to suspect that it never existed and that it's just a big conspiracy to make me look stupid. :sarcasm:

It did exist. I remember seeing it in 2007. For the life of me, cannot find it. It was Kent Brockman reporting, and somehow a pic of Ford was tweaked in the background.
