Why Are You a Jazzfanzer?

I joined Jazzhoops more than 10 years ago. Mostly because I'd never met another Jazz fan in real life and was blown away by the idea that there are other people out there who have internet and support the Jazz. Also, around that time, my old man started detaining DishNet signals that were illegally trespassing in our backyard so we suddenly had League Pass. For the first time, I was actually able to watch most Jazz games so I actually had something to talk about.

Joined this board when Jazzhoops went down. Lurked. Started posting after this board went through reboot.

Same exact story for me. Got involved with the alt.sport.whatever newsgroup and with realgm while trying to find people to converse with about Jazz stuff (I lived in California). Then came here with Jason and other founding members when the Big Realgm Split happened. Got asked to be a moderator a year or two later.

P.S. I didn't know you were an alt.sport.basketball.nba.jazz guy, Nate... do you remember me from there at all? I posted under "John Colton"* I believe. What was your username there?


* ...which was cause for some confusion because there was also a "Jon Colton" if I recall correctly who was fairly abrasive, judging by how some people reacted to me at the time.

Don't remember you specifically, but then again I hardly remember anyone there. I think there was a guy named Dustin or something who also was a Packers fan. My name was either Nate505 or Nate Walker there (I'm not that original either).

I more remember the place for the cross group flame fests that would happen between the Lakers board (mostly), and on occasion the Rockets/Blazers/Sonics boards.

Dustan Setner was probably his name... he is one of the few I remember, as well. And tatermoog--his unique name made it easy to remember.

That's it...wow, and tater was there too. That was like nearly 15 years ago now, good recall.

I think it was his unusual spelling of "Dustan" that caused his name to stick with me. Plus he was always the one that lit into trolls from other teams. And probably had twice as many posts as any of the rest of us. Wonder what he's doing now...
 
Oh, I used to be known as Jazz_Bayamon 2 or something like that.

There was an original Jazz_Bayamon, and he annoyed me, so I just copied his name to try to confuse people. It worked out well.
