I joined this forum in 1998 and it had already existed a couple of years prior. It was a simple message board almost bulletin board type back then.

Isn't a 20 year anniversary nearing, even though its gone through some changes over this span? If so will anything be planned, like a donation of sorts commemerating this milestone? I'm willing to celebrate/contribute when it happens, as this place has been my lifestyle.

Or does all the spin offs, and renaming, etc,. invalidate the anniversary time period?

You didn't get the invite to Fishy's place for a BBQ? Food, drink, a big property, free of poison ivy.

THats the Boneyard correct because I think there were iterations of UCONN basketball forums going back earlier than that

It wasn't the boneyard until it was the boneyard. There were several sites before the 'yard. Hartford Courant (vent?), and a couple others.

In November 1998 I was checking out McD's site and there was a clear link to the Boneyard. So it existed at that point.

Yeah, McD's site really brought in some riff-raff, eh?

Let's celebrate it a bit early, I'm thinking Texas, late march early April, any takers?

Edit: 3,000 posts. I need a support group.
