Pretty damn funny

[infection]

Wait, what? According to the post just above yours, Jason himself joined in July 2003. So I was only one year off. And there were only a couple people who joined before him but I'm not even sure how that was possible since it's his site. You're not one of them unless you've had a name change I don't know about. And what's this about Jazzfanz merging with realgm? I've never heard of that before.

Uh... take a look up in the top left. It says a Jazz community since 1999. In any case, JazzFanz was actually a website that had a forum. In that day, there was JazzFanz, JazzHoops, and RealGM. RealGM ended up expanding and JazzFanz was taken over by the RealGM umbrella, but briefly. I don’t recall when the split from RealGM happened, but that may be what you’re referring to. Also, there used to be a poster named Jon Colton, who I had always just assumed was you but realized at some point that it wasn’t, but just a coincidence.

My name has always been infection, for the most part. I posted under that name on JazzHoops but initially posted on JF as Dr. Peter Venkmen, which was later shortened to Dr., but only had that name for a couple months perhaps, before going to infection. I had met Jason at a game sometime in ‘02 or ‘03 because he lined his work buddy up with a ticket I was selling.

Yes. And I had thought that was the founding of jazzfanz. Guess not.

Yes. He and I both also used to post on the alt.sports.nba.utahjazz newsgroup (or whatever the name was), but me more than him.

Usenet? Jeez, how old are you?

Usenet is still awesome.

I like the one write4u where is this one? He even one time try and take advantage of me and fly me at his house. I can’t like this gift.

Does anyone still use it for discussions, or is it just used for pirating these days?

1999 is when the domain was purchased. I built the original version as a school project in very late 1998. Jazzfanz existed since 1999 (banner) and did merge with realgm and then broke off. The rest seems to be documented in the thread more or less.

kudos to Jason for trying to put the band back together..

I haven’t posted here more than maybe 10 times in the past 18 months (WAG).
Yet I randomly get multiple “likes” all from mods on posts from years ago.. feeble attempt to reel us back in I presume.. and it worked.. at least this once.

Love y’all.

Welcome back Dr. Jones

I can't believe jazzhacks hasn't been mentioned when it went up when Jazzfanz crashed. That's a major part in the history, guys.

We should include all this info on the site somewhere, maybe in a history section?

Bordy! We've missed you!

Like Harpring missed layups!
