 Hey everybody. My name is William. Thanks for stopping by my page. Here I will say a few things about my self, and describe my own personal history and notable moments on the boards since my join date on December 20, 2009.
Interests
Some of the things that I am most interested in are Maryland, the Pacific Northwest, volcanoes (I have seen about 10), echnology, music, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, politics (my views generally lean towards the conservative side), history, and my Roman Catholic faith.
Summary of My History on the Baltimore Ravens Official Message Board
Over my time on Board I have said many controversial things. Some things I have said have been plain stupid, such as when I posted just before the start of the playoffs for the 2011 season that we should take out Ray Lewis and Ed Reed while simultaneously inventing smallow. I've also gotten some controversial stuff right.  I advocated and was bashed for a thread that I started to try to get rid of Domonique Foxworth.

I was also correct in my stance to take Justin Tucker over Billy Cundiff in the 2012 offseason. Here are three notable links to that saga:

I also suggested that the Ravens release Sergio Kindle at least a year before it actually happened. As of now, I have mixed feelings over my Cary Williams criticisms.

I also inadvertently came up with Steven Goshowski.

Here are some of my notable statistics, personal records, and attainments on the Board, with some milestones listed:
* Join Date: Sunday, December 20, 2009 A.D. This was the day that the Ravens beat the Chicago Bears 31-7, and I was able to attend that game. It was the coldest I had ever been for a long period of time, but I was able to meet Art Modell and Chris Carr before the game, and I also got myself a close up on the jumbotron. So yeah, it was a great day.

* First post:  http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/17055-blogs-snow-bearing-down-on-mt-bank-stadium/#entry316255 +3 reputation vote

* A member of the 5,000 post club, entered on December 9 2012 (the day of the Ravens 31-28 loss to the Redskins) with this post: http://boards.baltim...s/#entry1252728.  I believe it's the first "display name" post listed. Sorry it's so depressing.

* 6,000th post:  http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/56869-2014-nfl-free-agency-thread/page-29 Tuesday, March 11, 2014-First Day of free agency. My milestone post is at the top of the page.
* Highest positive reputation vote count: 15 http://boards.baltim...ddle-disappear/ http://boards.baltim...ns-to-practice/ http://boards.baltim...ild-card-round/
* Highest negative count: 55 http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/44215-time-to-smallow-some-pride-and-take-reed-and-lewis-out/
* Approximant post average per day: I estimate around 4.
* Personal Record for Most Posts in a Day: 136 on November 18, 2012. This was the date of a 13-10 Ravens win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh. As many people do on gamedays, I made most of my posts in the Game Thread.
* Times an action was mentioned in an article: 1 (http://blogs.baltimo...lacco-too-much/)
* Times I got the pool pick in a Game Thread: 1 2012 Baltimore Ravens@ San Diego Chargers Friday, November 23, 2012.(http://boards.baltim...s/#entry1227783) Perhaps if I am allowed to post it every week we will be able to convert 4th&29s every week. It happened then.

* When Baltimore Ravens Message Boards set a record with 4,402 people on the boards for our Super Bowl XLIII win on February 3, 2013, I contributed 2 posts that day.

* Find me elsewhere: I have an account on the Denver Broncos Boards under the same username that I have here.http://forums.denverbroncos.com/member.php?404152-display-name
If you took the time to read through my bio page, thanks a lot. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk.

I am writing on 7/10/2016. I stopped following football in late July 2014, which is why I have hardly posted since then. I still have fond memories of being a Ravens fan and of posting on these boards, which is why I sometimes check back every few months to see what's going on.
