    turned 34 today so that's half my life with you clowns!

    its amazing how time flies bros.

    my wife asked me the other day if i know anyone on here since we've been talking for so long. i was able to rattle off like 20 handles like "yeah me and this guy go way back" lol its crazy how you know people's personalities after a while on here without ever meeting.

    anyway, here's to the next 17 years and 18,000 posts!!!

    I'm just a kid! 16 years here. I lurked for a long time before I joined (started lurking a few months before the Francis trade), but lurking doesn't count.

    I also lurked. It's probably best to not be associated with @tinman though. You can do more things on here like being a Lin fan and Rockets fan at the same time.

    Originally found this place in 97 I wanna say... dialed in on the 28.8, AOL 3.0 was my choice of internet provider. I think I Altavista’d Houston Rockets and found clutchcity.com or something close to it (memory isn’t the best) on accident between searching for nekkid pix of Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy. Man... those 3-5 MB pictures took several minutes to load and download.

    I Signed up officially in 2001 but have been lurking far years before than and frequented the main website for my Rockets news when I was in high school. Its hard to believe that time has flown and that this site is still going stronger than ever. Made a lot of friends through the board through the years and its crazy its impact it has had on a lot of people here not just myself.

    I think i found this place because i got so pumped the Rox got Scottie Pippen in trade. I was looking for any discussion on the web about it. I remember his limo stopping on the freeway so some guy could shake his hand.

    videos are dangerous! remember when my animated video of morey negotiating the tmac trade with walsh went viral for a second? it was on espn.com and yahoo. the knicks paused for a day and i was flamed on here as if my video somehow had something to do with them reconsidering lol

    the video was deleted by the site where i created it, but luckily some other dude posted a copy on youtube:

    DaDa thinking VSpan will be our savior is far more authentic and entertaining

    than Max Kellerman flip flopping every week about Harden

    DaDa doesn't have professional writers, his stuff is pure and real

    like all of us on this thread
