That's exactly how I found RedsZone. Someone asked the best, most knowledgeable Reds board, and another poster said RedsZone was really good, but that he didn't post here. Warned us to read for a while before posting, because he said that the board could be really hard on outsiders. I never found it that way.
I started posting on the Fastball.com site all the way back in 1995 (this coming fall marks 10 years for me on the internet...wow!) Anyway, I think Chip and Princeton and a few others were there at that time as well.

Google search for "Reds message board." Is there a prize for least interesting method?
Don't know if it was the "original" migration, but I came over from the Enquirer. board. Sounds like the first immigrants came from Dayton.
I was confused about the migration as well. I think some folks like M2, Princeton, GM, WoY and others came the way MWM describes and some folks came from the Enquirer.
From the enquirer board.......Santo I didn't know you were Ed Armbrister......Texas Scarecrow....Gallagher.....Nutholio Nux....ahh memories. OH BTW who was the lady from Seattle who blistered Griffey constantly, she was actually quite knowledgeable about baseball but really biased towards Griff.
I know I wasn't on there in 1995. I didn't even have the internet then. I think I got on there in 1996 in the latter part of the season.
I first read fastball.com in 1997, but only made about 2 posts. I remember M2, Chip, princeton, Drew, and S. Wright (aka Krusty), westofyou, and Brad (I think this is now gm).

i was looking for some Reds fans to talk smack with and found em....
seriously, i was looking for some Reds fans to talk about possible trades with the Marlins and soon after I came over you traded for that ace Ryan Dempster
it was a fair deal..... you get Demp and I get another WS.....
Original migration from the cincinnati.com board where I had many battles with Gallagher and de la Hoz
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I originally came over after the cincinnati.com message board shut down.

Came over with the Fastball, Dayton, DTFC folks
I think I was the last one to leave CincyTalk, and turn out the lights!
