[Real Deal]

Almost forgot!

OTR was created January 26th, 2005. Five years later, we've been through over 700,000 posts, over 2,000 members, a major hack and rebuilding process, and numerous banners and skins.

I'm proud to say that I plan on doing this as long as you guys are active. I will never sell, never be the short end of a merge, never change the direction away from the one sport that brought us all together over these five years.

I don't have time to list everyone I should thank, because I'd be listing every poster we've ever had...and that would take a while. But to all of you...active, inactive, even once-dedicated members who are now banned...thanks for the contributions. They never, ever go unnoticed.

What were your first display names on OTR? Favorite memories?

[Smitty]

A few more...


The early OTR Mock Off-Seasons when Real Deal's bro Terry would always end up with uber All-Star teams and win.

Also, in the Mock when HWP would annoy the hell out of everyone with his absurd and lopsided trade offers.

All the dudes going nuts over that Christine girl(shoutout to Kobe24)

Some of the more famous AIM Chats:


It was either the All-Star weekend chat or the Draft Night chat a couple years back...most epic chat ever

Mike/MainEvent/Epedimik vs. Slaven in almost every chat through 2008

JL(where is he?) vs. His Greatness boxing debate

Me accidentally saying that I loved Viral aka Tim's balls

Prodigy driving members nuts during the Sim League

Pretty much anything HWP typed in chats

Shaliq joining his first AIM chat and the epicness that started...he never joined one again

Armin you know what I'm talking about.

[GamerGuy]

Man, has it been that long already? Time flies.

Gamerguy15 was my first user name...went to GamerGuy, then rocked Kairu for a few years, and now back to GamerGuy for old times sake.

Some fond memories...

- That epic Wii vs Xbox 360 vs PS3 thread I made, before any of the consoles came out (I think 360 just launched)

- Lakers/Suns 2006 Playoffs. The carnage was incredible.

- Banning certain members.

- Banning certain members, again.

- The grand scheme of Brandon leaving the site to catch the hacker.

- The hack, and the recovery that followed.

- Draft day AIM chats.


Here are some screen shots of the olden days here...
