    Can't believe it's been 7.5 years here already. Time flies.

    I found this place because a Coworker would always talk about this forum and at the time I was only reading one other Blazer board which was RealGM. Was a lurker for awhile but the game threads were so much fun to read that I decided to make an account and join to primary post in them.

    I was over there but mainly just read it. I posted a few times.. but a certain poster was completely in love with Batum & Luck at the time... They were so tiresome. Wonder if they still think Kawhi is a bust.
    A couple others were over there that seemed to change when this became the official Blazer forums.
    I didn't make an account here until I figured out it wasn't going to be the same situation as over there.

    I was a Community Moderator at BBF, along with Minstrel and Gambitnut (RIP). My proudest moment was getting to be the one who clicked "Ban User" for Mixum. There's a longer Exodus history though that goes beyond BBF and into Fanhome. A fellow by the name of Loyalty4Life convinced everyone to leave Fanhome for BBF, then somehow ended up getting banned from both IIRC. I modded at Fanhome with ABM and GymRat and a handfull of others.

    I've been around since the Fanhome days, with the same screename then whole time.

    I don't remember why the transition to sportstwo happened, I just got a PM and everybody left so I went along.

    Apparently nobody told me about S2 when the BBF exodus happened, and I had to find it myself... that should have been a hint, but I didn't take it. :ghoti:

    S2 was created by a handful of Admins and CM's that defected from BBF and basically just told everyone "hey we're leaving"

    I think he showed up for a while but had his name something like "THE" Hispanic Causing Panic, so he got laughed out of the building?

    Oh, so he moved here and changed his name....

    I had no idea that BGD used to be HispanicCausingPanic. That makes SO much sense.

    Yeah, I was at bbb.net, then bbf, and I didn't post for a month or so on bbf, logged in, noticed most people had left, and then figured out where you all went (via Mrs. HCP), and here I am.
