    I was Gunner at BBF. Was only there for a year or two before it fell apart. Was it something I said? I broke the Randolph/hooker(s) story a few days before it hit the news. Thread locked, threatened with Eternal Bannation, many nasty pm's for spreading unsubstantiated rumors, etc because I wouldn't reveal my source who I believed was a Blazer employee. (Not HCP)

    Lurked here for quite a few years before signing up. I still mostly lurk though.

    A few of us (eBlazer, Gramps, etc.) Go all the way back to the ESPN board in 1999. We got together at a Pizza place to watch a play off game together and PapaG came.

    What about ProudBF. I know he was on the old ESPN board when I joined. We were co-workers at the time. I haven't seen him in years.

    And I'm drawing a blank on ProudBF's real name. Guess this age thing has us both fucked.

    BNM

    P.S. I do remember his first name and I'm sure his last name will randomly pop into my head at some future time when it matters not.

    That was either a really, REALLY good game, or the best pizza EVER.

    I joined ESPN around 2002. Screen name was "TradeSheedNow". Literally the only thing I can remember is arguing with someone about politics in a thread that had to do with firefighters and... Spain for some reason. (Anyone remember this?)
    Then ESPN imploded and I followed the crowd to bbb.net. Once Sheed was gone, I changed my name to TradeShareefNow, just to keep the TSN abbreviation.
    bbb changed to bbf, changed my name to what I am currently. The exodus happened when I wasn't paying attention, and I had to catch up and then google around to find this place because the name of this forum was being censored on bbf.

    Sometimes I go back to BBF and poke around. It's weird because it's mostly that mod that ran us out reposting articles, and occasionally Mixum shitposting S2.

    My recollection was that Hap was having some issues with moderating, specifically on things that were being said in the OT forum. He brought in some L*ker mods, who were complete a-holes and who declared there could be no K*be rape comments. Of course, I lack the impulse control not to immediately make another "K*be is a rapist" comment and I was permanently banned. Cpawfan had previously invited me over here, so I started posting here. Then for some reason ABM managed to get banned and that triggered the exodus, with the remaining BBF Blazer Fans engaged in a circle jerk of agreement.

    Now, I need to go check them out and see what's going on in the old stomping grounds.

    I was on Oregon Live then made the same rout of FanHome, BBF, Here.
    I remember when I came into that site and for a few days didn't realize where did everybody go. I later found it here by searching for screen names IIRC.
    Anyway, it's been a ride. So many people, so many years. It's great to be a part of this community
