One Last bash on Fish, AND I DON'T HATE HIM... I really don't. But the nail in the Kafin of the LMF Glory Days was when Fish hired Franz Kafka to write for db.com. I was excited for FK and he did a couple of articles and just disappeared??? What happened to FK is the story I want -- NO IT IS THE STORY I NEED!!!
A few of the old guard that I remember:
Ron (good call on the Lil' Nash Rambler fif) had incredible debates with G.A. (Gary A'Dornato), keven was from Florida and went mia after one of the hurricanes, Matt was from Australia and started posting when the Mavs got Chris (the best running big man in the NBA) Anstey, W.A.B. (Arkie Boy), scott, and TMav made their way here or there, David (as mentioned by scott) was nuts But THE TROLL before Richard was JackEckoff - that dude was brutal. There was a guy, PepperFletch maybe, that always signed Peace and Fried Chicken from the DMN to LMF transition.
I have been posting 25 years in some forum or other, which means I have a lot of memories and some things that are more fuzzy than accurate - but my fade away from LMF started during the '06 Finals when all of the positivity turned toxic. That is when I tried to contact Richard/Rings because he was at least entertaining while being toxic compared to some of the bandwagon folks who flooded the site when the Mavs became "popular?" and couldn't handle the Finals disaster. I'd been posting since basically the drafting of J-Kidd - who was traded during my bachelor party - and people were jumping ship on a team during the Finals (or right after). BTW Richard had some major personal trauma to his family right about the time he became Rings on db.com so I give him some grace in regards to his slip from contributor to instigator. He was one of the early users of the MBT terminology to describe the Brain-Trust
The HIGHLIGHT of the Glory days was like a 5 day draft that each member picked in 2001. I used to have the results from it posted on my Geocities site (Yahoo VACUUMS) but alas - I traded a pick to Ron for an extra pick (so my 5th for his 7 & 8) and my last pick from that was Rookie Tyson Chandler... feelin' pretty good about that deal lately.
One other honorable mention goes out to Chef Ed who I think might have posted as Reunion Rowdy at times on LMF.
