My join date is 10/11/02. But was here before that because if some yall remember O.S. Shut down and went out of business but was brought back so I had to re-sign back up. Thats why you dont see anything earlier then July 2002 but was around before that. I remember madden Mania slightly i keep thinking it was around in some form or fashion in maybe 1999. Steve will have to answer that. I found OS thru ign and Gamespot. Also, this site needs a wiki page.

I have zero recollection of Madden Mania. I had not idea that was a thing until this thread. I found this website through a web search for sports gaming information and reviews around 2000. I remember thinking the site seemed legit because there was a polygonal Hakeem Olajuwon at the top of the page.

A correction here: OS and Maddenmania were two separate things. I was a member of both at the same time Maddenmania / Digital Sports Mania merged into OS in 2009, I think.

OS itself dates back to like 1998 in some form or another, but the earliest join dates you'll see for anyone on the forums is summer 2002.

Man, people have literally gotten married, had children, and divorced throughout the history of this site in some form or another. Hell, I think even a couple regular posters have actually passed on.

This is not just a site/forum. It's a family with deep roots!

This reminds me, the almost weekly wrangling over the babe and political threads back in the day. There were some HEATED arguments and I remember some people routinely broke the rules with babe pics that went over the line of decency. (not explicit but not work safe either)
