Special Thanks to the Moderators here for carrying the torch for this place and keeping it alive and fun!

There should be a Hall of Fame for those that helped carry the torch back in the day.

Long Live The Browns Board!

 Damn, we all have problems ...

Weird but Uma ... he's sorta like the redheaded step-child franchise that he follows.

Always great to see old screen names though.

Nice to remember where we all came from, I joined up here before the begining of the 2016 football season and a very tumultous time in the long Cleveland Browns football history. Hopefully BROWNS fans everywhere can hang in there and see where this period in Cleveland sports, the internet, new digital technology and everything else takes us.

Meanwhile, as usual, GO BROWNS, baby!

Oh my I just put this up yesterday,

Yes and no. 

Ohio State won a playoff game and National Championship in 2014 - about 2-3 decades after Shawn Springs announced he took a big pay cut when Seattle drafted him in round 1. 

Pro?  Football.

And you don't count Mt. Union?

Thanks to all who have made this forum into one of the most thriving and educated Cleveland Browns Message Fourms on the Internet.

On this date in 2003 TheBrownsBoard.com was created. The following that made up our initial members had been together since at least 1996-97, on various other Browns forums.

Another important date comes tomorrow (Septemeber 12th) as it marks our Tailgate Crews 14th Anniversary together. Roachmstr & Sperk were instrumental in inviting our forums group to join them at their usual spot since before the Browns moved. On September 12th, 1999 we launched a huge party of nearly 100 individuals whom most had not met one another face-to-face until that party. Since that date we have continued the tradition for each Browns Home game.

Cheers! It's been a pleasure to call this place Home, and to meet many long lasting friends.

GO BROWNS!

It would be like Rickles bashing Diceman. It just isn't done.

Two genuine nice guys....or big a-holes depending on your point of view.

@stinkhole said:

Because each of those Steeler sites appeal to a different portion of the Steeler fan base?

One is for the Transgender group.

One for the Homosexual group.

One for the clinically Retard group.

One for the Bestiality group.

One for the into Incest group.

One is for the Pedaphile group.

One is for the Rapist Recovery group (BR is a member here)

One is for the Let's Blow Smoke up Each Other's asshole group.

etc. etc. etc.

What is missing though appears to be the one that appeal's to straight football fans.

You mean the one attached to my Tampon? I get the inference.

I use a search engine called "g-o-o-g-l-e"... it found about seven and that was just its first page of results.

I'll see if I can find you a download page for it...

Man I spent a lot of time on those ESPN boards. I actually switched to this board after we were shut down over there.

I was always curious about this but was afraid to ask.

For such a great football town why are there like only 2 Browns message boards on the internetz?

There's gotta be at least dozen Steeler boards out there..

OK, I stopped posting after easily finding 14.

Isn't this a representation of how vastly superior Steeler fans in terms of their passion for the game? or at least in terms of numbers?

I would think there would be a slew of Browns boards as well. I am honestly curious about this.

Can anyone explain?

Yeah ESPN used to be nice way earlier until they became virtually mod free and trolls, sales people and other idiots began to take over and kill it.

The biggest challenge to forums like this are now Facebook, twitter, instigram, snap and god only knows what else. I wonder what ever happened to MySpace?

@ghoolie said:

YOU? I is not YOU. I was there along with the rest of you on AOL. The thing is, I kind of stuck with AOL longer than the rest of you, even though I was one of the original signees on to this board.

Ultimately I only left AOL because they kicked me off for hammering the shit out of Steeler fans....of whom there were a couple of real cunts who went crying to AOL about me being mean to them.

@mjp28 said:

Quiet night in 2017 and I stumbled into this thread, reminds me of the old ESPN boards in the late 1990s and 2000s which got out of hand and now I believe are completely extinct.

A lot more online stuff out there now I hope boards like this one can hang in there.

@mjp28 said:

ESPN or AOL? AOL is where many of us came from.

@the-gipper said:

Yes, I actually thought this board had been around longer than what you say. Since the late 90's I thought. I joined the AOL board around '94 or '95, then I thought this came on around '99 or so. I guess not.(By the way, the AOL board still exists)

Not once during my entire history of Brownie bashing on the old AOL boards did Ghoolie ever attempt to spar with me.

At first I thought he was ducking me, but after a few years passed without incident I just wrote it off as a professional courtesy.
