Re: Off Topic 2014

And I am not even at a 1000 posts yet. There must have been a 3-4 year period in which I just logged on for The Show info. Now I am on all the time thanks to my phone...

I signed up so many years ago on this site, but it wasn't even until probably like 2010-2011 when I really started using this site, and wasn't until maybe 2012 until I started using threads outside of just the sports games.

lol, crazy how long I could be on this site and not even do some things until years later.

Re: Off Topic 2014

I'm still trying to figure out who in the world that Maserati commercial was marketed to?

And why we had one in the first place.

I believe that specific model only runs around 65K. A car commercial with the Maserati name attached to it at that price during the Super Bowl makes all the sense in the world. It was the company introducing a more affordable option to the world. I think the brand name is what threw so many off. Makes sense though when find out how much the car actually costs.

Those two words don't belong in a sentence together.

Eh, there are more than enough people who can afford a car at that price point. The market is certainly out there. Maserati wants their piece of that market.

I know there are. I, unfortunately, am not one of them.

Re: Off Topic 2014

It's crazy to see how young people are when they first sign up on internet forums and stuff. Sure, I knew how to use a computer before I even went to kindergarten(it was those old Commodore 64 ones lol) but I never even signed up on my first internet forum until I was probably 9-10 years old(which I'd still consider somewhat young considering at the time I was probably like the youngest person on those forums)

Now, there's people who are like 7-8 and stuff on internet forums and other places.

They should have made that a tad bit more clear.

I didn't sign up for my first internet forum until I was 25 or 26. I didn't even know what forums were, I came across OS looking for game reviews, then came back later when I discovered roster threads. Less than a month later I was in the Supporters Forum for it's final weeks (rip).

It's a double edged sword. They wanted to appeal to the market that can afford a 65k car without presenting their product as if it's worth anything less than 100k. I scoffed at the commercial too.

I saw the commercial and had no idea what was being advertised. I saw their logo and 5 seconds of a car.

Re: Off Topic 2014

They could have explained it was a cheaper Maserati, but they had to spend the vast majority of the commercial being philosophical douchebags with some chick pontificating about some random, unconnected bull****.

I get my first experience with computers until I was in 5th grade I think.

Yeah, I think EA boards were the 1st message board i signed up for and actually posted on. that was back in 2004 so I was 23.

I only know what a Maserati is because of Gran Turismo 5/6.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Started becoming active on the Internet when I was 11-12. Always used protection.

First forum I signed up with that I remember being active were the Sega Sports forums. I was posting about my WSB2k2 franchise, someone directed me to Dynasty Manager where I hung for years. I was a fiend for sports games and news, which led me here in 2004.
