eaglesfan0075 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Funny enough, I do recall ESPN having a message board under each NFL team around 2007-2009ish? Haven't really been a part of the message board scene much prior to 2007 so can't comment on anything prior to that. It was definitely inferior to the EMB and I didn't really post there much. @Got_Parka? I don't think you're lying, but you're probably not going to find your friends here.

Captain F Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I was on the espn board for about a month before I found the OG EMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipiggles Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I originally found the EMB back in 2001- but didn't sign up, ended up signing up in 2002, got banned in 2005 after the SB meltdown I had. Got back on in 2007, Banned again in 2009 after that NGCCG meltdown. Switched to a clone account then. Back in the good ol RNR days, I had like 3 clone accounts. I cant remember all the clowns on the board back thenj, hell I can even remember all the Names I used. But my original name that got banned in 2005 was the name I have now. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who were part of the old 'The Sporting News' boards back in the pre-McNabb days know who the real message board pioneers are. It was all uphill...in the snow...sometimes waiting for a minute or more for even a single post to load. Campfire tales of a future where you'd have to register with a username and password just to have access were enough to send some men screaming mad into the night... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one time there was a contest for fans to come up with the best Touchdown celebration for TO to do in a game. The winner, TO would then do. I wish I could go back and look at all the entrants lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 eaglesdigest.com message board began my journey. EMB didn't exist at that time. I think it was around 1996 or 1997. Can't remember for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember trying to play some of earlier multiplayer, first-person shooters (Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, etc.) on dial-up. The only upside was that it sorta taught you realistic shooting because you literally had to lead your targets before you fired to make up for lag on games with server-side hit prediction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh_Prince Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 All I really remember about the earlier Eagles Message Board(not that ESPN board, I was never there) was a warning on the board title that read something to the effect of "DO NOT USE A TERM FOR WOMEN'S HYGEINE DEVICES" because we'd constantly post Tampon Bay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
