Muddy didn't realize you've been at this so long.


I first qualified for Jeopardy ~1998, then again in 2005 and then again now. I have been at it for awhile.

I ain't giving up.

Too bad my brain doesn't work as well as it did 15 years ago. But hopefully what I have lost in well-oiled brain functionality is more than made up for with increased raw knowledge.
 
Yes, being a moderator, I was somewhat active.

I don't remember Dan being all that active in '05. He certainly came along with a vengeance later.

JJ was doing the same shtick he had been doing, bouncing from forum to forum, for years. At the start of SBR, he was seen as more of an annoyance and he actually disappeared for ~3 months that first year. It was a great time in the offshore betting industry and SBR started out with a core of knowledgeable - and also very witty/intelligent posters. JJ's stale low-IQ shtick didn't fit in.

But needless to say he came back and stuck with it long enough for the kids and idiots to find him - and SBRforum was on its way to becoming SBRforum.
