Used to post on Teamster.net. Then they went down for a period of time and I came across this site. Now I visit both. But this site is far and away the best! Right, Krash?

I was on the Motley Fool board with many other UPSers- including Cheryl. When Motley Fool decided to charge a fee for participating on their site, Cheryl posted messages telling people about the Brown Cafe. That must have been around '99 or 2000. Visited Brown Cafe, and it's much improved over the years and much better than Motley Fool ever thought of being.
As for the big growth of members, it seems like the last contract naturally brought many people to the site to get answers regarding negotiations. The range of topics continues to get more diverse each year. | |

I was Googling for FedEx news and this site popped-up. I know I've got my share of haters out there, but I still love this site.

I found it through Google. Searched for UPS satellite drivers and this site popped up.
I've been hooked ever since.

Written on the men's restroom wall was "for a real good time, see Cheryl at Browncafe.com" and that was that!

Visited Brown Cafe, and it's much improved over the years and much better than Motley Fool ever thought of being. Same for me with Motley Fool. Real pain when someone would post something more specific to day to day UPS and the MF moderators would delete and send you a do-better letter. Cheryl rode in on Big Brown and saved the day. Also like you it took a couple of years to warm up to BC (some if not many here probably regret that LMAO!!!) before I joined in. Just lacked something without E-Wave!

The range of topics continues to get more diverse each year. | That diversity IMO is what makes BC more and more special. I mean you can talk work here but also sports, music, cooking, gardening, politics, religion, etc. etc. and I think that's awesome! Now they even have chat for those who like it and of course the dark, EEEVVVIIIILLLLLLL FedEx section so we can hear a bit from the folks on the Purple side of life. It's not long before BC will have a 10 year anniversary and it's amazing what this site has become to many UPSers.

Cheryl told me about it! 
Moreluck is right I did work with/for her husband in a great building in the South Cal district. Suzie, oh wasn't that fun and Ewave too. In fact Ewave and his antics were a good part of Cheryl's motivation to start the Browncafe!! | |

I think I was on the Motley Fool board for 3 months before they went to pay per view. Found the Cafe and registered and have had lapses when I made computer switches.
Back in the beginning, it seemed like most of the conversations were way more stock related. While I never asked him, I often thought that one of my on cars was Tieguy. They both used the same wording for so many things, it was almost spooky.
My current on car is a member. He said that it is almost impossible to google anything UPS related and not have BC come up on the 1st page of results.
