I can’t find my join date… it was the Casey/Miller period… and I miss what Tom Bosley is having for lunch…

I still think they were the same person.

There's almost no doubt they were. There was at least one time when diggler forgot to sign out of his account and into laff's, yet posted the usual "hear hear diggler...blah blah blah" response to his own post.

I used my old man's account before joining in 2005 so not sure how long I've been participating. I've been a lurker more than a poster over the years but this site has been one that I've looked at pretty much every day since I joined. Thought I'd try to give something back by putting my hand up to moderate. Hope the site remains for many more years (forever, actually).

From what I can see Claw identifies as SHE.
Claw was also known by sante and the claw on various sites and was banned on here and that other site but they let him come back under another account but still posts the same negative crap and takes pleasure of richmond going crap to gloat about how he told everybody how bad we are (even after 3 flags he talks crap)

he still pops by that other site occasionally where a handful of poster give it to him and forensically pick through his posts
but he gets away with alot more on another site OE...R

He is a West Australian flog that loves telling the freo supporters how good they are
So we can all guess where his true heart is.

I came aboard in Feb 2012 after lurking for a couple of years.
I joined in 2010 but was also a reader of posts for quite a few years.
I guess you could say I was the MacBean of PRE before joining. Lurking around the edges and never really getting involved

Think it was Phantom's members petition that had me join here. A website link to PRE was published in the HUN some time around July 2004.
What a great ride & have met some people through here who are now some of my best friends.
July 2004 for me also. Living o/s at the time and looking around the web for news about my Tigers.
Great respect to Rosy for her initiative and energy in getting this thing up and keeping it running.

I’ve got a PRE cap and windcheater which I think Rosy was selling in 2005 or 2006 to help fund the running of the site.

I met Hartbalme and Smasha once at the Dump in the dark old days. It was a hard existence back then, but always a lot of hope for a brighter future.

Maybe claw is really Gerard Healy!
 
I thought I joined earlier, but my profile says March 2004. 2004 was a really dark year for a lot of us, and I think we needed somewhere to hang out with likeminded supporters.

I’ve still got a t-shirt from 2007

Claw was okay, yes he would get in people’s faces and he was the ultimate darksider, but I got the impression he was a really passionate supporter, unlike diggler/laff, who were basically trolls, and as I and others have said it’s unlikely that they supported Richmond. Claw had a bit of knowledge, unlike the others, who never offered anything constructive or positive.
I disagree. Digglaff just took the *smile* at a time we deserved it and occasionally quite amusing imo. Can't say the same for Claw.

"I don't normally hear here a hear here but here hear to your here hear."

One of the PRE's all time classics. Loved how the spelling was always wrong and intertwined.
