Why Are You a Jazzfanzer?

I came for the babes. All I got was "babe".
Not as disappointing as you'd think.

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.

I remember that day. Trying to remember who else played, and I'm drawing a blank. Me, bigb, Conan, GVC, Trout... Who else? My memory is so horrible.
I joined after searching for Jazz News one day and this site came up. There used to be a section where people could write editorials, so I submitted one. Jason thanked me and said I'd probably get more feedback if I posted in the forums, so I started to.
I'm similar to Bronco. My enthusiasm has virtually died, but I still do go to a few games a year, and the discussions in General Discussion used to be quite good and fun. Lots of deep subjects with serious, well thought out responses in an interesting debate. A good example would be the "Flat Tax and Tithing" thread right now. back in the day we had a minimum of 1/2 a dozen of those types of threads going at any given time. I have hope things will become that active and cerebral again.
John ******* Stockton.
This guy was given nothing, he had to earn it. He didn't cry about playing time, not getting the calls, or a huge contract.. he just accepted it.
I remind myself every day that I'm not going to be given anything.. I've got to earn it. It's a little easier to accept that I'm going to have to earn it knowing that it can be done.

This. Any fantasy team I create starts at PG with John Stockton.
I blame Boozer. When Cleveland announced they couldn't match the offer sheet, I read through some Cavs boards and one of them linked to JF. That's what got me to the site but it was the posters like Pearl, Tater, SeattleJazzFan, Kicky, Catzies, and others who kept me here. Then other great posters like Jazzgal, JohnDeereJerry, and OSR joined, Bordy stopped lurking and started posting, and then a bomb was dropped on the site when Trout joined. From there, it took off.
Edit: I forgot to mention the very polarizing LTV. I was always a fan and still enjoy his tweets.

Zulu, dumbass!!
Blame Archibald for that one. I offered to buy it outright and run it, but he balked. Something about the "legacy of the site" or some nonsense. I guess the three people who bother to post over there didn't want their six or so active threads to be tainted.
Wait... You? Drunk? On a school night?
I tried posting there for a while, but there just wasn't enough going on.
