Where to begin...well, it was likely spurred on by PlutoTV's ICJ dedicated channel, my reconnect with an old IronFans brother (IronNut), but hey - I'm Rosdaddy. Nice to meet you all (some of you, AGAIN).
Just looking to touch base first with everyone and find out (1) Who's on here, (2) Anyone oldhead/IronFans like me, and (3) if NOT an oldhead, what brought you to it all?
All the love, Rosdaddy

Welcome back, Rosdaddy. If anyone can get some excitement going again, it's you. My, how I miss the old IronFans days. But ManAlive has done a fantastic job keeping the flame from going out, and I am glad this site is still here.

Howdy, Rosdaddy! I don't remember if we met before, but good to have you here.

Herringchoker - Rosdaddy hails from the old IronFans Online site, as you and I do. Nice to have another alumni back in the fold.

Yessir...at one point, back in the IFO days the #1 poster/fan (even higher than Haivart)...nice to be back! That's a pretty solid stat - I think I may have been in the top 5 at one point. I know that around the time the Mr. Iron Chef 1995 special aired, and especially when Nakamura first showed up on Food Network, I was very active with episode reviews and discussions. Ironfans represents a special nostalgia for me. Although we don't see much activity here (hopefully that will change, with the airings on Pluto and Redbox, and with the new show coming to Netflix), I am forever grateful to ManAlive for keeping this thing alive.

Absolutely...glad to be home again. Just recorded an episode of the podcast and referenced ICJ's resurgence (like it ever went anywhere). LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

I look forward to hearing said podcast, but you know I'm a bit biased in my desire ;-)
But yeah, the Filmrise acquisition HOPEFULLY will garnish renewed/new interest. Maybe get someone to talk with Fuji TV to dub those unaired battles. OK...that's a long shot...but I've been dreaming for 20+ years, so why stop now...

Just finishing the publish to YouTube as we speak...I'm going to drop it here first, as a testament to my rebirth on "the boards" ;-)
