The Bengals Board turns 5!!!

[*SHRacerX*]

Does anyone remember (really dating myself here) the AOL message boards for NFL Teams? I think it was around 1994 and the Internet was pretty new. I had three computers in my office (probably what fried my eyes, those old CRT screens) and one was just for internet searches for background information. I used to spend a lot of my lunch on the AOL Bengals board. There was a Samoan guy named UMADOGG, that later went by UMAFLYY. He was an absolute riot.

I wanted a computer of my own at home, largely so I could message on that Bengals board.

The format was horrible looking back, but there was lots of debate on how to turn the perennial loser around. Then, we had the Blake era, and that showed for a brief moment how much fun it was to discuss a team that was actually fun to watch.

I doubt there is anyone here from back then, but as the GM of the Saturn of Dayton store, my ID was STRN1. Man, that was a lifetime ago.
