Lot of guys have been around. Apparently there was some guy that had an army years ago, honestly no clue wth he was but a lot of guys/gals here are cool as hell, Recognize them. I’ll nominate GreyGhost and Bava.
 
For posterity and a link back for future threads:

RSB [rec.sport.billiards] was a bulletin board popular in the 90s [also alt.sport.pool]
Mike and Jerry started AZB around 1998
AZB rebooted around 2003 (vBulletin).
In the first month [3/22-4/22] a few hundred people joined, including (some RIP):
AzHousePro (1)​
Keith (2)​
Porter (3)​
Grady (10)​
Smorg (32)​
TonyA (101)​
Joe (classic) (103)​
Trigger (132)​
Blackjack (141)​
Earl Strickland (156)​
Sarah Rousey (202)​
Theirry (221)​

The next month [4/23-5-24] there were a few more including:​
Blud (293)​
Jude (338)​
td873 (353)​

JimbosArmy was a mid-2000s thing. Jimbo didn't leave until like 2007.
He was a great pool supporter and even hosted the JimboJambo in 2004.

AZB rebooted again using Xenforo in 2020.

Currently, AZB shows over 50,000 members now, but not all of them are active.

I'm member #353 (after the 2003 reboot). I was also RSB. I was at the JimboJambo. There are a few of us still hanging around.

I've been on this forum since 2006... I did disappear for about 15 years since 2010...
Before 2006 I used to be on Seybert's forum, it was smaller and more family like with a lot of regulars, like this forum is now.
 
The advanced search function has dates so you can find early threads. Here's one of the first of the new forums. AZB seems to have started in the 1990s, but the posts before March 22, 2003 were lost in the transition to the current site.


And if you click on someone's avatar, and get to their profile, you will see their member number in the URL. I'm 1686.

Earl Strickland is member 156, as noted above.

Frequent poster @Matt_24 is member 91

Not many from those days made it into the 2020s.
