THANKS for 25 years of the Stadium Wall, TBD!

[BillsFan619]

While I don’t know the exact date in 1998, I wanted to take a moment to give a shout-out to TBD with us on the cusp of the 2023 season.

 

Thanks, TBD, for giving us all things Bills for the last 25 years! Thanks to @SDS (and any other creators/owners of the Stadium Wall) as well as to present and past mods who have given their time to keep this place going.

 

In honor of 25 great years, please share a couple things on why you appreciate TBD and where you were in 1998. Here’s my mine:

-If it wasn’t for this site, I would’ve never known I could get the NFL Sunday ticket for free or at a steep discount. TBD community members have literally saved me thousands of dollars. THANKS!

-I’m grateful for all the Bills news. I don’t live in upstate NY, but I feel very up-to-date because of TBD and the community members on here. THANKS!

-In 1998, I was a junior in college at Colorado State University (the CSU Rams)

 

Here’s some fun facts about 1998:

-A gallon of gas was a $1.06

-Titanic is the highest grossing movie

-ER is TV’s #1 show

-Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" stays at #1 for thirteen consecutive weeks

-Bill Clinton is president

-Popular tech words are “AOL”, “reboot” and “dial up”

-The first mp3 player was released in Japan

-Minimum wage was $5.15

-The Denver Broncos won the SB

-Most importantly, our beloved Buffalo Bills were in 3rd place (out of a five team division) with a 10-6 record. We lost to the Dolphins in the WC round, 24-17

 

Why are you thankful for TBD and where were you in 1998?

 

Here’s the team photo from 1998. Go Bills!

day drinking is the heartbeat of this place.   But smart posters are the brains

 

tip-top posters provide great analysis.  i have learned so much about football here.   Second only to playing Madden

 

and if you wanna enjoy an adult beverage or 7, this is an Awesome place to spend several hours. 

 

I must have written the website down 70-80 times here in SoCal, for Bills fans whe were unaware of this site.  I welcome all voices.

 

which is why i am here every day.

(and by the way:  if you were SDS, you'd have a burner account on here, right?  Cause sometimes you just gotta let off steam)

In a previous life, I would have here during the first couple of years.

 

Who was the man back then?

Damn good sight I am retired.  I would hate to consider how much time I would have wasted here as an employed worker drone.

It’s a happy addiction for me, particularly since I haven’t lived in Buffalo since ‘93.  I’ve also met some real nice people through this site (not you @boyst).

 

Go Bills and thanks @SDS!

I thought TBD came to be after the Bills nuked their own forum.  Had no idea it's been around that long.

If memory serves as it was so long ago, I found this site looking for information about the RJ trade, I had a different username though (can't remember it though). 

I was in my 2nd year away from WNY (South Florida), this site really helped me (and still does) find all things Bills.

 

Thanks to @SDS

Curious if there is many Gen Z's on here or are message boards just an archaic form of communication for Boomers nowadays?

And the beginning of the Playoff curse...which finally got snapped 5 seasons ago.

Some of us were here long before you lot arrived.

[Sierra Foothills]

I'm grateful for what Scott has created and also for the many insightful, knowledgeable, intelligent, and articulate posters here.

 

Being around the percentage of you that fits the above description makes the community worthwhile and even enriching.

 

Here's to you @SDS and to the community!

If I had to guess, which I’m going to do .. I’d say the vast majority here are Gen X and Boomers.
