Cool to see so many of the old timers on here. Lots of fun memories. :)

I started on the AoL board. Was mainly a lurker for a long time though.

I remember the first thread I ever started was about Reggie Hanson signing a 10 day contract with the Celtics back in 98.
I was on the AOL board for a long time too, along with my hubby
If you remember the Grandstand chat rooms..I was a chat room host on there

I've been here since 2009 when I migrated over from firetubbysmith.com. I started as PrimeMF, then changed my name when I moved to Charleston SC (It's called the Low Country) and then I got banned but then got let back in, and eventually changed my name to Ash.

Let’s see - mudererofcrows welched on a 500 dollar bet about our football teams win/loss

there is one poster here who was a man of his word and paid a lost bet over The ucla/uk tournament game but I’m not going to pour salt on that wound but idk if he’s been seen here or not.

I remember one guy in the political thread I riled up so bad he posted his paycheck stubs to prove he was rich. Then everyone made fun of him for doing it and he actually started to be a decent poster/person.

That was JohnKBA/Stan the Caddy. Also known as the Canadian. He posted his W2 but he was far from a good person. He would “fake it” occasionally I guess but the reason he went from JohnKBA to Stan the Caddy is because he called Clarence Thomas the “N” word and got banned.

It’s funny to think back to getting started on the board that led to this one. For me, it was the summer of 1996, a couple months after Pitino’s championship. I was working with a Syracuse fan who’d been a good sport about the championship game, figuring they had no chance.

A couple months later he comes to me and says, “Looks like Kentucky is going to beat out Boeheim again for Magloire.” I’d never heard the name Magloire and asked him how he knew these things. And he told me about this Kentucky board -he watched it because it was much more knowledgeable than Syracuse’s board. I literally had no idea there was such a thing as an internet fan board. But he showed me how to find it, and how to sign up.

Crazy. Now that I think about it that was almost exactly 30 years ago!

Remember that guy that posted under his real name about how he was mistreating patients at a care facility (medical facility)….. who then got fired over it?
