fansince88 Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Thought this would be fun. Back in 2009 I was trying to find out what was going on for the NFL draft. When I searched I typed in Buffalo Bills News sites and this page came up. Wasnt until September after reading the news here every day that I realized I could sign up and join the forum. Been here nearly daily since then making friends. Thanks for this SDS Lets go Bills!! 1
Bad Things Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Hmm... I've pretty much been coming here since day one, in the mid to late '90's. At that time I was living in Colorado, in the middle of Broncos territory and needed to get my Bills info. Before the internets, the only place to hear about the Bills was the old Shout! newspaper, and from Chris Berman during NFL Primetime. Are there any posters here that used to be affiliated with the Shout! newspaper? I always looked forward to finding a new copy in my mailbox. Anyway, the internet came about and so did TBD. Thank God. That said, I've been visiting the site just about every friggin' day, from many locations around the world. I can just imagine how much work time and productivity I've wasted all those years. Sad. Wasn't this forum originally affiliated with a newspaper, (The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, perhaps?) before it became it's own stand-alone website and forum? If anyone remembers the history of TBD, I'd love to hear it. Let's go Buffalo!! Edited November 5, 2017 by Bad Things 1 2

How did this page come about? Great question!
Augie Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I found it as a link to get the articles many, many moons ago. I eventually stumbled onto the knuckleheads inside, and now I rarely read an article. I think SDS is napping, so maybe we’ll get the recap when he recovers.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 1998 back when it was part of the Rochester D&C.
BUFFALOKIE Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I think I found a link on Pto Football Talk in 2008. This place was like crack. I was instantly hooked, and need a fix several times daily ever since.

Scott can answer better, but it was when the D&C was shutting down their message board. As to the original question, I was looking for pictures of the Jills, sometime around 1997, and Scott was hosting a webpage for them on TBD.
SDS Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I'll tell the story from 1996 and then 1998 a little later.
Juice_32 Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I found it in 2001 by way of Bills Daily. I was in my college dorm in NC. I've been coming here for all my Bills news ever since.
WotAGuy Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 So back in 2004, I’m Googling for a good retatta recipe...... 6

Wilton Bills Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Friend tipped me to TBD. Have been coming to Bills games since 1985. Very interesting and a lot of fun for the comments and thought provoking banter. Keep up the great work everybody.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I think the picture of the day was well over 4000 posts
LA Grant Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Been lurking since at least Rob Johnson and Drew Bledsoe. Posting more recently.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Since men were men and arguments here were settled with spearing contests in the parking lot of Rich Stadium. 1
Nick the Greek Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I was at work one day and looked over a co-workers shoulder to see what he was doing on his computer. He was on TBD. I remembered the catchy name, and checked out the website. I've been a regular since.
BeginnersMind Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 1996 or 97 ish. Found it through the old D&C threaded views. Have no idea when it started. Just remember where I was working when I found it. I used to get so mad when there were no new posts after half a day. Come on people.

It can ruin your life, exposing you to all the bad people out there.
