fansince88 Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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.

BUFFALOKIE Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Wilton Bills Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeginnersMind Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
