Who are the 'Old Schoolers' of AZ

[watchez]

Good to see so many people I have gotten to know and respect reply to this post. Keep em coming.

 

[Worminator]

Still kickin...

If you were a member before 03 why does it state you joined in 05? Shouldn't it say you joined in 03 during the reiteration??

Because I switched my username from my name to Cornerman. I did this with all the forums I belonged to. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the moderator could just switch my name. I asked Mike Howerton to remove my old name, and I re-signed with my new one. Nobody can accuse me of signing in with multiple accounts.

Anyone as old school as I am would know that I’m pre-2003 by several years when BilliardsDigsst CCBoard, Playpool.com, and AZBilliards were new to web-based billiard forums, all vying to be the lead going forward. I’m an RSBer.

 

[justadub]

Aye...since 2009...guess that makes me an old timer now.

 

[Patrick Johnson]

I’m an RSBer.

Ich bin ein RSBer too. Wonder how many would respond to an RSB-OG thread...

Wasn't that the guy who took his wife's last name when they married?

With this site being around now for quite the time and me being gone for a period of time, it appears to me that lately there has been more of an influx of new members actively posting than in the recent years. I used to read posts and threads and know most people involved. Now I don't know many of them.

Makes me think, who are the Old Schoolers of AZ -

Trigger, Blackjack, Cuaba, Fast N Loose, Fatboy (well only Fatboy1 not Fatboy2), Hangemhigh, JAM, JB Cases, JoeyA, Manwon, Ribdoner, Rossaroni, Williebetmore, Spidey, Houmatroy, Mikeyfrost, lfigueroa, Terry Ardeno, Corvette, JCIN, Jay Helfert, Saw, ME....I am sure there are a slew more but those are off the top of my head.

Maybe not the most prolific of posters but I’ve been here since the 90s.

They moved the forum to a new format, I believe everything reset at that point but there are quite a few of us that have been here since the 90s. I won a pool stick on this forum in 2000, Mosconi cup stick signed by all the competitors.

I've been here for quite some time, closing in on 20 years now.

[poolhustler]

I'm not on here much any longer, but have been here for a year or two

 

[JazzyJeff87]

I will know when I joined shortly, once I click on my name here. Don’t think I can claim old school status just yet.

I joined when I started playing pool to find out what I didn’t know that I didn’t know yet. It worked. Lots of good info here when you search and plenty of good conversations to be had.

Rock on azb...rock on

 

[realkingcobra]

I might be considered old school, who knows.

 

[fastone371]

Im probably medium school, joined in 2011

 

[NINEBALLART]

Mar 5, 2006.

 

[Hungarian]

I would say the first 13,740 members would be considered old school.

 

[wakuljr]

Had to really think about it, I am sure I joined in '99. I was already a member when I moved to Las Vegas in '00.
Who wants to know how old we are.....stop it, go play pool instead ..son

Good to “see” you, George.
