How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

Aug 2001 discovered IMDb on me old wind up Sega Dreamcast.
Sep 2005 got a decent computer and went looking for Elisha Cuthbert pics and what else she was in and the latest on James Camerons Battle Angel, and a few months later found the Sports Board.

Loads of long gone oldies(somebody name em?) were on here but Ffa/Carla are still here.
Really missed Ches whatever happened her? Made all newcomers feel welcome.

Good luck all and you know where to go in a couple of weeks, even you Zahir.

I was searching for things on Game of Thrones and clicked on the IMDb link. I noticed the < Message Boards and the rest is history.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

In late 2002, I was looking for an answer to a Lord of the Rings movie question and found Imdb. I lurked for a couple of months before registering in January 2003. I accidentally deleted my original account but was able to sign up again thank goodness. I was an original member of the sports board when it was created by dmsesquire and fiona davidson. There was only 5 of us when the board first started and most of the talk was about baseball and football. When Imdb merged all the different sports into one board, I left but occasionally pop in a time or two.

It's been great fun reading all of the sports threads and to all my long time friends here, good luck and good speed.

You know what? I learned how to box and even have my own boxing bag at home. It's damn fun..no wonder so many people get in the ring.

You take care of yourself.

Only about a year ago.

I had been on the various movie and television show boards since 2005!

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

I am going to miss you Ackbar. Are you going to join a new board?

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

You too!

I meant to name you as my favorite poster on the other thread!

I am going to try this one http://imdbreplacement.forumotion.com/ and this one http://imdb2.freeforums.net/

I think the latter will be more successful.

Please join both if you can.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

A long time ago. Probably when they announced all the original expansions of the boards from the film boards.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

I knew about the forums when I joined but being mostly an american football fan, I was on the official NFL site until it closed.

Some other users here on the sports board might have migrated too from the official NFL boards.


The fun, or sad thing, is the reasons listed and the wording used by the NFL was nearly the same has here, about not being positive anymore and not being useful. They had NFL fantasy, NFL rules, questions, football general and even off-topics just like what we have here.

In both cases Not enough moderators and trolls were allowed to run rampant.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

Well, Furiousfury, I discovered the IMDb Sports message board about 11 years ago. I went to IMDb.com to try to find contact information about quadriplegic actor James Troesh because he had been an inspiration to me for many years. I unexpectedly became disabled in 1988 and had to drop out of college my senior year. Then, I saw him on TV advising people with disabilities to “Think about what you can do, not about what you can’t do.” His words of advice changed my life so I wanted to thank him. To make a long story short, someone responded to my IMDb post and gave me his email address. I was able to contact Mr. Troesh and he replied back to me shortly before his death. In the IMDb Post History for the person who gave me his email address, I noticed that they participated in the Sports message board. I was immediately hooked and have really enjoyed sharing my thoughts about Boston’s numerous recent sports championships.

BTW. Thanks so much, Furiousfury, for mentioning that alternative sports message board in your OP!! I have been wondering all week what I would do in the future to replace my hobby of posting on the IMDb Sports message board. You’ve just given me the perfect solution!!

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

It was during the Beijing Olympics in 2008 (This is my second account). I remember someone saying how annoying it was that all the fanboys were on the board.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

I was looking for pictures of an actor. I started out on the TV boards then found the sports guys.

you re gonna need a bigger boat.

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

I honestly don't remember how or when I discovered the sports board or even imdb.com

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

I don't know exactly when I first found/used IMDb in general, but I know I signed up in August 2006 (about the 14th I think) to read a post about the upcoming Spider-Man 3 movie. I didn't really start posting until November 2006, and it wasn't until around November 2008 that I accidentally discovered the Sports board via a friend's posting history.

One of my early postings on this board was regarding the Yankees signing of C.C. Sabathia to a big money, long term contract.


That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!

Re: How/when did you discover the IMDb/sports board?

Not exactly sure but one of my earliest memories is the madness and euphoria in the aftermath of Super Bowl 42. 18-1 talk comprised basically half the board for the entire offseason. Didn't really start posting here regularly until 2009, around the time of the NHL playoffs. Penguins defeated Red Wings in 7.
