    Wow! Congratulations to all the old school true Rocket fans!! 10 yrs ago I was 16 yrs old! But have always been a Rockets fan since a youngster. I remember the Championships clearly being only 12 yrs old and going to the playoffs games at the Compaq Center.. I love my hometown teams especially the Rockets win or lose except it gets frustrating at times when they struggle but I will always support them 100%! I expect to be in this site for yrs to come!!!!! :D

    Antisonic!

    I remember you buddy! Hope all is well with you - we were probably teenagers the last time we talked on AIM in 1998. I still read the forums here, but I just lay low and haven't posted often (understatement) - maybe 5 posts in 10 years? I'm still a Houston Rockets fan of course. I work in NYC and have a Hakeem Olajuwon starting lineup perched on top of my cubicle wall.

    Just for fun, these were my Houston Rockets pages from last decade:

    I been here since the old OLD board with the .com and Mario Elie and everthing (Was known as "Astro the Rocket" back then). I envy you guys that re-registered in Feb. I won't hit my "official" 10 years until May (like tinman).

    while sadly I am not a 99er mainly because i didnt have dedicated internet till much later and my parents didnt want me hogging the phone line all the time when i was younger. I mainly lurked all the time before it was necessary to register to view the forums.


    hah! RockFan's geocities link made me remember about the website that I had made back when I was in high school after school in the computing lab, and its still up!

    The Rocket Lounge

    man i was such a newb back then doing stuff

    all of us 99ers need to support each other in the war against evil
    though Clutch steps in sometimes and uses his power, he can't defend us all
    from evil like this

    i call upon all 99ers to use their powers to destroy evil!

    every 99er loved the dream era rockets and the championships.
    that's why we will all go to heaven and get courtside seats at the summit.
    those who hate the dream era will be yelling cold beer and selling us roasted peanuts.
    to hell with the fake fans!
