Hmm...that makes sense. I started a twitter account earlier this year, but have just never used it. It does seem like most of the "game" discussion for real sports has moved to twitter. This place used to be alive on college football Saturdays/NFL Sundays. The NBA forum is one that is still pretty alive and baseball does okay, but the football forum is a shadow of what it used to be activity wise.

Truthfully, some people all ready have a strange sense of entitlement on OS based on tenure without another special name color lol.

Just my .02 cents without making it personal. We couldn’t even have a Supporters only forum for a while because the way people act.

It is the most well modded site I've found with great people/discussion and I can't see myself NOT being involved.

Maybe he finally realized that he can't drive his cars into the ocean anymore.

ThunderPuck alum here too. I do recognize some old names from those days on here from time to time.

SegaSports forums, 2khockey.net (when TP closed down), NFL2kx.com... but OS stuck. I never grew out of playing sports video games and being a little more gung ho about it then any of my friends.

This site has always been a slice of the internet that doesn’t seem as infected with BS, with great conversation and over the years a place to come to to vent, read, learn, and share. Not to be cheesey, but OS has added a bit more to my life that 99% of people will never have or experience. Pretty cool.

I haven't really been active here on the forums as much as my high school days, even in my college days my only involvement was trying to help with the show rosters until I joined the military. Heck I think 80% or more of my posts were from before 2010. Do we still do April Fool's Pranks here?

I lurked OS and MM back in the early 2000s(didn't Madden Mania have a big Madden 2005 PC section?) , officially joined either late 03 or early 04, I remember ESPN College Hoops was what got me coming around a lot. Then once 2k5 dropped, it sealed the deal. I had some OS issues with voicing my opinion of Madden. Stayed gone for a couple years while in college, then in 2008 I asked permission from Steve if I could come back. A decade later, and many many memories. I still kinda miss Goh though

Blacklover memory cards, damn that's a throw back!!

Like so many others, joined for the NCAA football rosters. That was 16 years ago....wow. I remember making it onto the Top 10 for long standing members that still weren't in blue. Blzer hooked me up.

RIP to the OS Babes thread(s). Those were pretty lively.

I know Clay is alive. I follow him on some other social media.

He has a podcast.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

It shut down? As far as I remember they just switched servers or whatever and couldn't carry over the stats from the old forums. That's why a lot of us have the same join date.

I think TJ is still in talk/sports radio.
