and who can forget BDoughty's classic meltdown. That was a thing of beauty LOL.

Anybody got a link to this?

I vaguely remember it, but sounds like it's worth a "review"...

That is, unless it's now just a rolling TOS (violation) fest...

Thanks!

Considering the "content" of many of his final posts, I think it's safe to say most of them were deleted.

July 18, 2002 was the exact date the new boards launched.

SMH. 10 years.

I remember when I first joined here, just to get some tips on what to do in franchise mode for Madden. Poopydude was born here on Operation Sports because I never expected make more than a couple of posts let alone still be around today.Great community and the best sports forums on the planet if I do say so myself. I never got to experience BDoughty's post anyone mind filling me in??

God of Life doesn't hold a candle to TM_Skillz or DatCrunk.

TM_Skillz is still my all-time favorite gimmick poster.

Unrelated, I wonder if Pol still has his streak going.

10 years and we STILL don't have a front page.

Unbelievable.

When I turned 21 (way back in 2002), I remember coming here and reading up on how to get rosters for NCAA Football on the XBox. It had something to do with a Sharkport or something like that.

Amazing to think that I was lurking here for nearly eight years before joining. I might have had created an account but I probably only posted a couple of questions here and there, but my memory is very vague. I can remember the site changing and it's nuts to think that was 10 years ago.

My name when I signed up was 'KingFelix.' I remember creating a thread about my wife's sister and how I could basically kick her out of the house. Not one of my finer moments, but the thread ended up being pretty funny.

There was another thread, and I wish I could find it, where a poster actually thought I was Felix Hernandez.

This is definitely my internet home and I think if this site didn't exist, I'd spend a lot less time on the internet. But I enjoy everyone here and feel comfortable posting about pretty much anything and seeking out advice when I need to.

I'd love to dig up some classic threads to see how many of them would trigger my memory during all of my lurking years.

I'm quickly becoming Blzer's competition in the lengthy posts category so I better let that be all for now.

Love ya, OS. Happy 10th.

In a nutshell, he was to the site what Millenium is now. At some point, he lost his mind, went on a posting/bashing rampage, then posted pornographic photos all over the site.

Did we have any mods back then?

He was the lone admin.. he was doing all of that stuff by himself if I remember right..but its been 10 years what do I know...lol

I remember him celling and banning and playing practical jokes on people here for days on end.. was kinda funny seeing him clown people then go in on them and finally ban them


Remember the dudes who left here to start their own site because they got banned and copied everything from OS from the front page to the format of the site? It failed miserably too

Bdoughty could troll with the best of them. Definitely kept things entertaining, probably not the guy you want running the forums if your trying to grow the site though.

I still want to know the backstory of the guy who started this thread. Seems like an interesting character.

Think I initially came across him when looking at some of the old threads linked in this thread (well, those where the links still work or that could be found using the search anyway).

LMAO.

The "CandyMan5" thread had me absolutely rolling.

Dude still claims his innocence...

UBBCODE had no beginning or end... he just existed... when BDoughty wasnt around, he appeared suddenly

Taking guys out and trolling them with uncontestable sarcasm

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: 10 years..Has it really been 10 years since "the new OS" launched?

Seriously freaks me out to think I've been here almost 6 years now. I was 14 when I signed up I think.

I don't think I even paid attention to girls back when I signed up and now I'm in love lol. Weird as hell to think about.

The OS Neighborhood forum has really taken my love for OS to a whole new level. Took my like 5 years to actually take a look at the Off-Topic forum. I feel like I actually know you guys now.
