Lol, thanks buddy. I definitely need to be more involved!
My post count surprises me as well considering the amount of time I've spent on Real GM since I was 16 years old in 2006, now 30 years old.
2005 vintage... I was the age you are now. it was a very crap year that turned around over the next 12 months. What a difference a year made and RealGM was part of the turnaround amazingly enough.
in 2005 we finally came to realize our bands dismissal from the company in 04 wasn't going to lead to another shot at the big time, and I was going deep into debt working odd jobs trying to stay in LA and finally giving up and moving home to Ventura County to lick my wounds.
I think boards in general were much more powerful/polarizing/popular at that time before the full effect of twitter and facebook set in.
Drama on the board was high... Shaq/Kobe drama... trolls coming on our board and cocky lakers faithful rubbing salt in every other board's wounds they could.
Sigs were a high fashion statement...
We probably wisely mostly whiffed on a bunch of group meetups, but Tony Montana did show up to one of my gigs in SB in a ridiculous sports car and was a good hang between sets.
15 years... that's crazy.
Hope Tony's doing good! Miss seeing him around here!
Also some other OG's: Trixx, Bynum, Miles, DEEP, etc.
