    Ah 2008. Oden was returning, Roy was a budding superstar, we had just drafted our PGOTF in Jerry Bayless, and had Spanish sensation Rudy Fernandez joining us from Spain. The hype was real....

    It was a combination of that and the mods getting frustrated so some Laker fan mod went in and they shut down the OT forum, kind of was a dick about it and then shit got real

    I was one of the Oregonlive losers like Sly that didn't come over here until ABM starting advertising this place over there.

    I honestly can't remember how I came upon this place. For all I know Sly was stalking me on another Blazer forum. And knowing him, he probably was.

    Some homeless guy was handing out fliers downtown.

    It said" Are you insane? Come join Denny Crane. Sportstwo, home of the Zeros"

    Did he look like Taylor Danforth? Did he pronounce "pillow" as if it was spelled "pellow?"

    I used to post on the espn boards with quite a few people here. Pretty sure maris and jlprk were there. It got kind of shitty and a there was the bbb.net transfer. I don't know what happened there, I just remember visiting the site for a couple of weeks with no new posts and found this place. Long, strange trip.

    You realize our join date is below our avatar, right? I came here from the old official trail blazers site on recommendation from Blazer Fanatic...then she was promptly banned a few weeks in for long, heated arguments here. The old site was nothing but long heated arguments mostly about Batum.

    I think they would do pretty good, big weakness would be at PG with the current crop. Who is your all-mexican team?

    PG: Hinrich, Blake
    SG: Hayward, Redick
    SF: Parsons, Korver
    PF: Love, Ryan Anderson
    C: Steven Adams, Mason Plumlee

    ABM posted about this place on oregonlive. I came over here and quickly noticed that most of you were pretty cool. I continued to post over on Oregonlive and posted here.

    Then Ed O had a mod election. No one really knew me here but I think it was Wheels who nominated me to be a mod as a joke. I posted on Oregonlive that if they came over here and voted for me to be a mod I would stop posting over there. They were eager to get rid of me so they came over here, made accounts, and voted me to be mod. So you have oregonlive to blame for my reign of terror.

    Anyone else here from the old BLT mailing list days? Me and Ed O were, but he's gone now...

    I started with BLT in the 90's (1996?), then ESPN, then BBF, then here. No olive for me.
